Brandenburg has no foreign minister of its own.

Areas of responsibility can exist at more than one level of government.

A federal ministry for a topic does not automatically mean that every state has an office with the same title. States have their own responsibilities and allocate them to departments. This question therefore requires looking at Brandenburg’s state government.

The allocation checked on 20 October 2026 lists interior and municipal affairs, justice and digitalisation, and finance. It also assigns international or European responsibilities to the State Chancellery and other departments. It lists no foreign ministry.

The other three answers

The other three subject areas are represented in Brandenburg’s government.

No foreign ministry does not mean no international contacts.

Brandenburg maintains cross-border relations, particularly with Poland, and works in European contexts. Article 32(3) also allows states to conclude treaties with foreign states within their legislative competence and with federal-government consent. This limited power is not a general independent foreign policy.

Department names and the allocation of specific tasks can change. The question uses short functional titles such as Justice Minister, not full current ministry names. The checked cabinet structure and legal division of responsibilities support the fixed answer Foreign Minister.
