Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein

The Minister-President of Schleswig-Holstein is the head of government for the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, located in the northern part of the country. This official leads the state government, overseeing administration, implementing laws, and representing the state in federal matters. Elected by the state parliament, the Minister-President typically belongs to a political party and collaborates with other ministers to manage various departments such as education, health, and infrastructure. This role is similar to a governor in U.S. states, focusing on local issues while working within the broader framework of the German federal government.
