Explanation

Berlin is a city-state; its state parliament is the House of Representatives (Abgeordnetenhaus), whose legislative term is five years under the Berlin Constitution, with early dissolution permitted only in narrowly defined constitutional circumstances. The length of the term is determined by Land law; Article 28(1) of the Basic Law mandates republican, democratic, and rule-of-law principles but does not fix the duration of Land legislative periods. The now common five-year term serves stability and predictability in governance; even court-ordered repeat elections do not alter the constitutionally prescribed term length.
