Welche Ministerin/welchen Minister hat Bayern nicht?
- aMinister of Justice (Justizministerin/Justizminister)Justizministerin/Justizminister
- bForeign Minister (Außenministerin/Außenminister)Außenministerin/AußenministerCorrect answer
- cMinister of Finance (Finanzministerin/Finanzminister)Finanzministerin/Finanzminister
- dMinister of the Interior (Innenministerin/Innenminister)Innenministerin/Innenminister
Why?
Foreign policy is a matter for the federation (Article 32 of the Basic Law, Grundgesetz), so there is no Bavarian foreign ministry. Justice, finance and internal affairs, on the other hand, are also tasks of the Länder; in Bayern the ministers for them are called state ministers (Staatsminister). Bayern does keep up contacts in Europe and around the world, but only the federal government has a foreign minister.
