State election in Hamburg 1993
- GAL : 19
- SPD : 58
- Instead of : 8
- CDU : 36
On September 19, 1993 the election for the 15th electoral term of the citizenship of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg ( citizenship election ) took place.
choice
There were 121 deputies elected to the citizenry. 1,240,259 Hamburgers were called to vote for parliament. 844,902 valid votes were cast. This corresponds to a turnout of 69.9% (1991: 66.1%). The Hamburg Parliament met on October 6, 1993 for its constituent meeting.
This new election became necessary after the general election on June 2, 1991 because a group of around 20 CDU members questioned the validity of the former general election and of six of the seven district assembly elections on the same day. The candidate list at the CDU violated electoral law principles. The constitutional court granted the request. The publisher Markus Wegner , former CDU member and co-plaintiff, founded the Statt party , which jumped the 5% hurdle straight away.
The FDP did not make the leap into parliament with 4.2% in this election. But the two big popular parties were also losers. The SPD only lost three seats in parliament, but in the election it lost 7.6 percentage points of the vote. The CDU lost 8 seats and 10 percentage points of the vote. The only winner of the established parties was the Green Alternative List Hamburg (GAL). She was able to gain 10 seats and 6.3 percentage points. The difference between the "small parties" between the 1991 and 1993 elections is interesting. While in 1991 the four traditional parties (SPD, CDU, GAL and FDP) received 95.7% of the votes, in 1993 it was only 83, 2%. The winners of the “small parties” were the STATT party and the two right-wing extremist parties, the Republicans and the DVU. But also “the grays” were able to almost double their election results.

government
As it was during the 14th electoral term , the SPD could no longer provide the Senate alone. Together with the Statt party founded by Markus Wegner , it formed the government of the city-state . Henning Voscherau was re-elected as First Mayor. The second mayor was Erhard Rittershaus , who was not part of the party .
Investigation Committee "Hamburg Police"
There was only one Parliamentary Committee of Inquiry (PUA) during the 15th electoral term . He should deal with the grievances of the Hamburg police in order to come to terms with the Hamburg police scandal. The constitutional lawyer Ulrich Karpen (CDU) took over the chairmanship.
The PUA was created shortly after the resignation of the then Interior Senator Werner Hackmann and the allegations against the Hamburg police (especially the Wache 16 in Lerchenstrasse). Allegations were xenophobic attitudes, readiness to violent attacks ( denounced as torture by Amnesty International ) and corps spirit.
On November 13, 1997, the 1200-page final report of the committee stated that the problems with the Hamburg police were not isolated cases.
The “ Hamburg Police Commission ” emerged from the PUA under the red-green Senate in the 16th electoral term . By law, the commission had "the task of recognizing internal undesirable developments and the resulting threats to compliance with the rule of law by the police and reporting on them".
