It is the first red-red-green state government in the Federal Republic that is led by the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The Senate has eleven members, two more than in the previous Senate Müller , a coalition of the SPD and the CDU , which lost its majority in the elections for the Berlin House of Representatives on September 18, 2016 .

In addition to the governing mayor Michael Müller (SPD), four senate members belong to the SPD, three from the Left and three from the Greens .

The maximum number of senators had been increased from eight to ten after a change in the state constitution. Among other things, the Senate Department for Urban Development and the Environment has been divided between the new departments Urban Development and Housing as well as Environment, Climate Protection and Transport. In addition, the Culture and Europe department was spun off from the Senate Chancellery, while the Science and Research department was integrated into the Senate Chancellery. The governing mayor also directs the latter.
