350. Which senatorial office does Bremen not have?
Official German wording
Welchen Senator / welche Senatorin hat Bremen nicht?
Answer options
Correct answer
Senator for External Relations
Explanation
In the German federal order, foreign affairs are an exclusive federal competence (Basic Law, Art. 73(1) no. 1), and Art. 32 assigns the conduct of external relations to the Federation, permitting Länder activity only with federal consent. Consequently, the Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen does not maintain a portfolio titled “External Relations”; European affairs are typically embedded in other ministries (e.g., Economy/Europe). By contrast, interior, justice, and finance are core Land responsibilities administered by the respective senators.
