Minister of the Kingdom of Hanover

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists the ministers of the Hanoverian Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg from 1692 and those of the Kingdom of Hanover from 1814 to 1866.

Minister of the German Chancellery until 1837

The Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg and (from 1814), the Kingdom of Hanover were from 1714 to 1837 with Great Britain in personal union connected. The German Chancellery in London dealt with the most important business, including foreign affairs, until it was dissolved in 1837. The German Chancellery was an immediate authority with (since 1730) only one minister, who was very influential on the monarch.

Cabinet Minister since 1837

After the end of the personal union in 1837, King Ernst August allowed the previous ministers to continue their work as heads of department and retained only a single cabinet minister, who was thus given the position of leading state chancellor.

Actual ministries as authorities were not set up until 1832, before the ministers presided over government departments.
