State government of Schleswig-Holstein
The Schleswig-Holstein state government is the highest executive body in the northernmost German state . Section III of the constitution of the Land Schleswig-Holstein regulates their composition and responsibilities. Accordingly, the state government consists of the prime minister and the state ministers .
The Prime Minister determines the guidelines for government policy and is responsible for them (so-called guideline competence ); Within the given guidelines, the ministers independently manage their area of responsibility (the ministry assigned to them ). The state government operates according to rules of procedure . The Prime Minister is elected by the Schleswig-Holstein state parliament. The ministers are appointed and dismissed by the prime minister; the prime minister also appoints a minister as his deputy.

Individual evidence
- ↑ The Prime Minister Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke ( CDU ), elected on June 25, 1951, first formed a transitional cabinet on the following day, which consisted of himself and the ministers Hermann Andersen ( FDP ) and Paul Pagel (CDU) and held office for one month.
- ↑ After the resignation of Prime Minister Uwe Barschel (CDU) on October 2, 1987 and his immediate resignation from the state government, his deputy, Minister for Federal Affairs Henning Schwarz (CDU), took over provisional management of the Prime Minister's affairs . Thus until May 31, 1988, no constitutionally elected Prime Minister was in office.
- ↑ Since after the resignation of the previous state government ( Barschel II cabinet ) on October 2, 1987, no new government with a parliamentary majority could be formed, the cabinet officiated as the “ Black Cabinet ” (named after the Executive Minister President Henning Schwarz , CDU) for the long term of the 11th electoral term of the state parliament.
