List Of Mayors Of Hamburg

Since 1861, according to the constitution of 28 September 1860, the state has been governed by the ten-member Senate, which had previously been called the ''council'' (in the German language of that time: ''Rath''). It is headed by the First Mayor of Hamburg (German title: ''Erster Bürgermeister der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg'') as the President of the Senate. The deputy is the Second Mayor.

The head of the city-state's government is the First Mayor and President of the Senate. A ministry is called ''Behörde'' (office) and a state minister is a ''Senator'' in Hamburg. The legislature is the state parliament, called '' Hamburgische Bürgerschaft'', and the judicial branch is composed of the state supreme court and other courts.
