Why?
In Berlin, the members of the state government are called senators. There are separate Senate departments for finance, the interior and justice, but not for foreign policy: under Article 32 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz), foreign policy is a matter for the federation. That is why only the federal government has a foreign minister.
