The Minister-President of Thuringia, officially the Minister-President of the Free State of Thuringia (German: Ministerpräsident des Freistaats Thüringen), is the head of government of the German state of Thuringia. The position was re-established in 1990 after German reunification. The former districts Erfurt, Suhl, Gera and some adjacent areas of the Halle were incorporated into the new and re-established federal state of Thuringia.
The current Minister-President is Mario Voigt, heading a minority government between the Christian Democratic Union, BSW and the Social Democrats.
The office of the Minister-President is known as the State Chancellery (German: Staatskanzlei), and is located in the capital of Erfurt, along with the rest of the cabinet departments.
Title
The German title Ministerpräsident may be translated literally as Minister-President, although the state government sometimes uses the title Prime Minister in English.[1]
