In 1952 the States of Baden, Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern merged. The new Federal State that emerged was Baden-Württemberg, marking the start of a success story. A success story that continues to unfold to this day, evolving hand in hand with the community.

Our Service area contains details of the State Ministries and their press office contacts. The area also contains a media centre and a selection of publications. The Service Portal provides information on wide-ranging different administrative services available to those in all walks of life.

Minister-President Winfried Kretschmann heads the State Government of Baden-Württemberg. Besides the Minister-President, the Government comprises twelve Ministers, one State Counsellor and a State Secretary with voting rights in the cabinet.

Together with the population, the State Government aims to create a Baden-Württemberg which is fit for the future, successful, astute, fair and in touch with the people. The policy of the State Government is founded on the twin precepts of renewal and preservation.
