Munich (München in Englisch): Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Munich's current mayor is [[Dieter Reiter]] of the [[SPD|Social Democratic Party of Germany]]. Munich has been governed by the [[SPD]] for all but six years since 1948.  This  is remarkable because Bavaria—and particularly southern Bavaria—has long been a conservative stronghold, with the [[CSU|Christian Social Union]] winning absolute majorities among the Bavarian electorate in many elections at the communal, state, and federal levels. Bavaria's second city, Nuremberg, is also one of the very few Bavarian cities governed by a SPD-led coalition.

As the capital of the Free State of Bavaria, Munich is an important political centre in Germany and the seat of the [[Landtag|Bavarian State Parliament]], the [[Staatskanzlei]] (the State Chancellery) and of all state departments.
