history

In the first government of what was then the province of Brandenburg ( Cabinet Steinhoff I ), formed in 1945, no ministries existed. The 1st Vice President Bernhard Bechler was responsible for justice . In the government that followed in 1946 a Ministry of Justice existed, but when the State of Brandenburg was dissolved in 1952, all existing ministries were also dissolved.

The Ministry of Justice was also re-established for the re-establishment of the state of Brandenburg in 1990. The first minister, Alwin Ziel , was responsible for the justice department and at the same time a federal representative . In 1994 the area of responsibility was expanded to include " Europe "; in 1999 federal affairs were transferred to the State Chancellery .

In 2009 the Ministry of Justice initially handed over European affairs to the Ministry of Economic Affairs. When the department reshuffled in the Woidke II cabinet in 2014, European affairs came back to the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of the Environment also gave it the area of "consumer protection" . In the Woidke III cabinet , the Ministry of Justice handed over the "Europe" section to the Ministry of Finance and the "Consumer Protection" section to the Ministry of Social Affairs .
