350. Which senatorial office does Bremen not have?

Official German wording

Welchen Senator / welche Senatorin hat Bremen nicht?

  1. Senator / Senatorin für Außenbeziehungen
  2. Finanzsenator / Finanzsenatorin
  3. Justizsenator / Justizsenatorin
  4. Innensenator / Innensenatorin

Answer options

  1. Senator for External Relations
  2. Senator for Finance
  3. Senator for Justice
  4. Senator for the Interior

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.
