Overview

  • The Greens’ state executive unanimously proposed parliamentary group leader Henrike Müller to succeed Kathrin Moosdorf as senator for Environment, Climate and Science.
  • Her nomination faces confirmation at a November 5 party assembly, followed by an election in the Bremische Bürgerschaft if approved.
  • Moosdorf resigned on October 4 after criticism over the contested early retirement of state secretary Irene Strebl, a personnel move now under prosecutorial investigation for suspected breach of trust.
  • Müller, 49, has led the Greens’ parliamentary group since 2023, has served in the state parliament since 2015, and previously co-led the party’s Bremen organization from 2011 to 2015.
  • The leadership change unfolds as the Senat experiences wider turnover and legal scrutiny, including a preliminary probe involving Economy Senator Kristina Vogt and opposition calls for action from Mayor Andreas Bovenschulte.
