In the election for Hamburg's citizenship ( 18th electoral period ) on February 29, 2004, the CDU, which had ruled the Rule of Law Party and the FDP , recorded a (nationwide unique) increase in votes of 21 percentage points and was able to form a sole government under incumbent Ole von Beust . Your election result was the best in this state to date. The SPD Hamburg with its top candidate Thomas Mirow received six percentage points less than in the previous election; it was her worst result in citizenship elections since the Federal Republic was founded.

This was preceded by a coalition break between the bourgeois parties ruling since 2001. The Rule of Law Offensive party, which had started without its previous figurehead Ronald Schill and without its abbreviation, fell from 19.4 to 0.4%, which meant that it lost almost its entire electorate in the previous election. The Pro DM party , which Schill had joined after separating from his previous party and whose top candidate he was in this election, scored 3.1%, but failed to make it into the citizenry.
