In the State of Bremen, the "Senat” is the top executive organ, the cabinet, the ruling body of the government of Bremen. Consequently, the ministers are called "Senatoren" (Senators). Presiding the "Senat” is the "Präsident des Senats" (President of the Senate). In the other "Länder” of Germany he would be called Prime Minister. Moreover, as if to make things even more confusing, by tradition he is addressed as "Mayor".
