Overview

• Moosdorf, a Green who took office in July 2023, said she was resigning to prevent further harm to her department and the Senat.
• The departure follows her placement of state councillor Irene Strebl into interim retirement, a process she conceded was mishandled.
• Her public explanations shifted from praising a voluntary exit to citing lost confidence, and Radio Bremen reported Strebl is entitled to more than €100,000 in pension pay.
• The FDP demanded her resignation and the CDU announced an investigative committee, with opposition figures now calling for full transparency on decisions and costs.
• Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte says the Greens will propose a successor soon, as turnover continues with the SPD nominating Mark Rackles for education and signaling Eva Högl to succeed Interior Senator Ulrich Mäurer at year’s end.
