The Steltzer I cabinet formed the state government of Schleswig-Holstein from April 11, 1946 to November 22, 1946 .

After the appointment of the 1st Schleswig-Holstein Landtag , the Landtag committees were formed in its second session on March 13, 1946, including seven "main committees", the chairmen of which were later to become Land Ministers. The “state government”, consisting of the chief president and chairman of the main committees, began its work de facto on April 11, 1946 with the appointment of the board of the main committees. Although the adoption of the "Provisional Constitution" of June 12, 1946, had not been approved by the British military government, the heads of the main committees were appointed ministers on that day and placed under parliamentary control . On August 23, 1946, Theodor Steltzer was appointed Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein by the British military governor Hugh Vivian Champion de Crespigny . With effect from November 22, 1946, the cabinet resigned.

prehistory

After the end of the Second World War and the takeover of the provincial administration by the British military government , Otto Hoevermann was appointed provisional president of the province of Schleswig-Holstein by the British military governor Gail Patrick Henderson on May 14, 1945 . Hans Müthling was commissioned as provisional governor to take care of the business of the provincial association and Werner Mensching was appointed regional president in Schleswig. Hoevermann, who had been confirmed in office by the military government on August 18, 1945, was removed from office by Henderson on November 15, 1945 and replaced by Theodor Steltzer on the same day . With effect from November 30, 1945, the office of the District President was integrated into the Upper Presidium. From December 1945, the individual state offices were formed in the province.
