The Politics of Schleswig-Holstein takes place within a framework of a federal parliamentary representative democratic republic , where the Federal Government of Germany exercises sovereign rights with certain powers reserved to the states of Germany including Schleswig-Holstein . The state has a multi-party system.

History [ edit ]

From 1919 to 1928, the largest parties in Schleswig-Holstein were the Social Democratic Party, German Democratic Party, Conservative Party and German Peoples Party. [1] [2] [3] From 1930 onwards, Schleswig-Holstein was a bastion of Nazi support. [1] In the 1930 Reicshtag elections, the Nazi Party received their highest vote share in Schleswig-Holstein with 27%. [1] In 1932, the Nazi Party won 51% of the vote in Schleswig-Holstein, the only district where Nazis received an absolute majority. [1] [4] The rural areas of Schleswig-Holstein were particularly likely to support the Nazis. [1] [2] [5]
