Landeshauptmann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Landeshauptmann (if male) or Landeshauptfrau (if female) (German: [ˈlandəsˌhaʊptman] ⓘ, "state captain", plural Landeshauptleute, German: [ˈlandəsˌhaʊ̯ptlɔɪ̯tə] ⓘ) is the chairman of a state government and the supreme official of an Austrian state and the Italian autonomous provinces of South Tyrol and Trentino. His or her function is equivalent to that of a minister-president or premier. Until 1933 the term was also used in Prussia for the head of government of a province,[1] in the modern-day states of Germany (with the exceptions of the city-states) the counterpart to Landeshauptmann is the Ministerpräsident (minister-president).
