Starting point
In this state election, the coalition of the SPD and FDP that has been in office since 1987 stood for re-election.
The SPD's top candidate was the First Mayor Henning Voscherau , who had been in office since 1988 , and his opponent was the CDU politician Hartmut Perschau .
Result
The SPD achieved a wafer-thin majority of the seats. The FDP therefore rejected a new edition of the coalition, so that the SPD provided the Senate alone. Except for Christina Weiss (non-party), all senators belonged to the Social Democratic Party. Henning Voscherau was elected First Mayor . (See: Senate Voscherau II ).
Demography (as of December 1991)
The youngest member of the parliament was Madeleine Göhring from the CDU.

Main issues during the 14th legislature
In 1991 a group of around 20 CDU members sued because of concerns about the validity of the general election of June 2, 1991 and of six of the seven district assembly elections on the same day. The list of candidates at the CDU would have violated electoral law principles. The Hamburg Constitutional Court granted the application on May 4, 1993. There were new elections on September 19, 1993. The publisher Markus Wegner , formerly CDU and co-plaintiff, founded the STATT party .
