The Hamburg Parliament (German: Hamburgische Bürgerschaft; literally “Hamburgish Citizenry”) is the unicameral legislature of the German state of Hamburg according to the constitution of Hamburg. As of 2020 there are 123 sitting members, representing 17 electoral districts.[1] The parliament is situated in the city hall Hamburg Rathaus and is part of the Government of Hamburg.
The parliament is among other things responsible for the law, the election of the Erster Bürgermeister (First Mayor) for the election period and the control of the Senate (cabinet).
The President of the Hamburg Parliament is the highest official person of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg.[2]
Its members are elected in universal, direct, free, equal and secret elections every five years.[3][4]
