Not to be confused with the Bundesrat of Germany, a national body based in Berlin and sometimes compared to the upper house or Senate of other national legislatures.
The Senate of Berlin (German: Senat von Berlin; unofficially: Berliner Senat) is the executive body governing the city of Berlin, which at the same time is a state of Germany. According to the Constitution of Berlin [de] the Senate consists of the Governing Mayor of Berlin and up to ten senators appointed by the governing mayor, two of whom are appointed (deputy) mayors.[1] The Senate meets weekly at the Rotes Rathaus (Red Town Hall).[2]
