Why?
In Thüringen, 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). Like Sachsen and Bayern, Thüringen calls itself a “Freistaat” (free state) – this is just an old word for republic and does not change the title. A mayor, by contrast, only runs a town or municipality.
