Why?

In Sachsen-Anhalt, the head of the state government is called Ministerpräsident (Minister-President), or Ministerpräsidentin if she is a woman – it is the same in all territorial states, that is, in the states that are not city-states. This person is elected by the state parliament (Landtag). A mayor only runs a town or municipality, and the title Prime Minister is used in other countries, for example in Great Britain.
