Bremerhaven city council
The Bremerhaven City Council is the municipal city council in Bremerhaven .
It occupies a special position in the local political structure insofar as it has extensive rights that other local parliaments do not have. The city council assembly is part of the Stein city code and the municipal constitution . Bremerhaven has its own city constitution , which can be changed by the Bremerhaven city council with a two-thirds majority. In addition, the city of Bremerhaven has authority over the Bremerhaven police via the Bremerhaven local police authority. The Mayor Melf Grantz (SPD) is responsible for the police department. Furthermore, in addition to sovereignty over the police, Bremerhaven's self-government also has limited sovereignty over the school system, in particular the recruitment of teachers.
According to the city constitution, the city council monitors the administration of the magistrate and carries out all self-government matters. Because of the extensive rights of self-administration, Bremerhaven is called "the freest municipality in the world".
The Bremerhaven city council consists of 48 city councilors. It is headed by a city councilor who, together with four other assessors, forms the board of the city council.

In November 2012, the two city councilors of the Left joined the RRP, now Alliance 21 / RRP . In the course of this, the faction from Alliance 21 / RRP and the Pirate Party was renamed B21-Piraten . On March 28, 2013, City Councilor Rebecca Sarnow resigned from Bündnis 21 / RRP and joined the BIW voters' association . This gave the BIW parliamentary group status.
Election 2015
From the election for the city council on May 10, 2015, the SPD with 16 seats, Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen with five seats, the CDU with twelve seats, the BIW, Die Linke and the FDP with three seats each, the Pirate Party and the NPD went with one each. In addition, the AfD achieved two seats and Die PARTTEI one seat. Furthermore, the individual applicant Jürgen Milchert succeeded in entering the city council.
The BIW appealed against the result of the election because it found errors in the counting. After correcting 45 ballot papers, the BIW is only missing 25 votes, which theoretically could have been cast by only five voters, for a fourth seat and the associated parliamentary group status. A legal opinion on behalf of the city council came to the conclusion that errors were actually caused which could have led to an incorrect allocation of seats in the city council. The expert opinion recommends a new count and, depending on the result of the count, the implementation of a repeat election in a constituency in which voters were wrongly rejected by election workers.
Election 2019
