Explanation
Germany is a federal state with federal, state and local governments. Some federal states are city-states, such as Hamburg, Berlin and Bremen. These have special government structures that differ from territorial states. That is why their heads of government have different titles than in the other federal states or in individual cities. In order to know the correct name, you have to know what role Hamburg plays in the German political system and how its state government is organized.
