Senate Tschentscher

The Senate Tschentscher (Senat Tschentscher) has been the government of the German city-state of Hamburg since 28 March 2018. The Cabinet is headed by Mayor Peter Tschentscher and was formed by the Social Democratic Party, who lost their overall majority in the last state-elections, along with Alliance '90/The Greens. On 28 March 2018 Scholz was elected and sworn in as Mayor by the state assembly, after he had gained 71 of 118 votes.[1] Afterwards he appointed the Senators and had them confirmed by the assembly.[2]

The new election of the mayor was necessary because the former mayor Olaf Scholz was appointed Minister of Finance and Vice-Chancellor in the new Federal Government.

Cabinet members hold the office of Senators and heads of their respective agency, except denoted otherwise.
