460. Which minister does Thuringia not have?

Official German wording

Welchen Minister / welche Ministerin hat Thüringen nicht?

  1. Justizminister / Justizministerin
  2. Außenminister / Außenministerin
  3. Finanzminister / Finanzministerin
  4. Innenminister / Innenministerin

Answer options

  1. Minister of Justice
  2. Foreign Minister
  3. Minister of Finance
  4. Minister of the Interior

Correct answer

Foreign Minister

Explanation

External relations are a federal matter (Art. 32 Basic Law), with exclusive federal legislative competence in foreign affairs (Art. 73(1) no. 1). Consequently, the Länder—including Thuringia—do not have a Ministry of Foreign Affairs; any Land treaties with foreign states require federal consent (Art. 32(3)). By contrast, core portfolios such as Interior, Finance, and Justice exist in all Land governments pursuant to their state constitutions and rules of procedure.
