Why?

In Bremen the state government is called the Senate (Senat). Its head is the President of the Senate and at the same time the Mayor (Bürgermeister or Bürgermeisterin). Remember: each city-state has its own title – Hamburg has the First Mayor, Berlin the Governing Mayor. Minister-Presidents only exist in the territorial states.
