{{Politics of Hamburg}}
The following is a chronological '''list of mayors of Hamburg''', a [[city-state]] in Germany. The mayors are the head of the city-state, part of the [[government of Hamburg]]. Since 1861, according to the [[Constitution of Hamburg|constitution of 28 September 1860]], the state has been governed by the ten-member [[Senate of Hamburg|Senate]], which had previously been called the ''council'' (in the German language of that time: ''Rath''). It is headed by the first mayor of Hamburg (German title: ''Erster Bürgermeister der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg'') as the president of the Senate. The deputy is the second mayor.

For much of its history, Hamburg was a [[free imperial city]] and later a sovereign state; the position of First Mayor historically was equivalent to that of a sovereign [[head of state]]. In the 1871–1918 [[German Empire]], the Hamburg First Mayor was equivalent to the federal princes of the 23 German monarchies (4 of whom held the title of King and the others holding titles such as Grand Duke, Duke or Sovereign Prince). Since 1918, the position is equivalent to that of the [[minister-president]]s of the (West) German states.

Prior to [[World War I]], the two mayors were elected for one-year terms. Until 1997, the first mayor was [[primus inter pares]] among, and was elected by, the members of the Senate. Since then, the [[Hamburg Parliament]] (German: ''Hamburgische Bürgerschaft'') has elected the first mayor; the first mayor is able to appoint and dismiss other senators.

==1293–1860==
The function of [[burgomaster]] (mayor) was usually held simultaneously by three persons, serving as an executive college. One of the three being burgomaster in chief for a year, the second being the prior burgomaster in chief, the third being the upcoming one. Therefore, sometimes up to three names are mentioned for one year, since the names of the three appear in deeds, signed with or mentioning their names. The names in the list from 1239 until 1820 were archived in a book by Johann August Meister (1820). This is an incomplete list of burgomasters and uses the spelling in Meister's book, which is preserved in the Hamburg state library. After 1820 the list were added by hand.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Verg |first1=Erik |last2=Verg |first2=Martin |title=Das Abenteuer, das Hamburg heißt |year=2007 |page=264 |location=Hamburg |publisher=Ellert&Richter |edition=4th |isbn=978-3-8319-0137-1 |language=de}}</ref> On 6 August 1806 Hamburg gained [[sovereignty]] as an independent country. From 1811 to 1814 Hamburg was part of France in the [[Bouches-de-l'Elbe]].<ref name=liste/>

If another reference is not noted, all mayors are taken from: Domizlaff. ''Das Hamburger Rathaus''.

== Hamburg (1860–1919) ==
Since 1860 Hamburg had a [[Constitution of Hamburg|constitution]]. Members of the Hamburg senate were elected by the [[Hamburg Parliament]]—not coopted by the existing senate. They were lifelong members of the senate. From the three eldest and juristic trained members the senate elected annually the First Mayor of Hamburg (German title: ''Erster Bürgermeister der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg'') – the presiding head – and his deputy (Second Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg, German title: ''Zweiter Bürgermeister der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg'').

=== Weimar Republic (1919–1933) ===
{{see also|Hamburg state elections in the Weimar Republic}}

During the [[German Revolution of 1918–1919]] an ''Arbeiter- und Soldatenrat'' ([[German workers' and soldiers' councils 1918–1919|workers' and soldiers' council]]) was formed. From 12 November 1918 to 1919, a chairman was the head of state and city government: [[Heinrich Lauffenberg]] (−1919), Carl Hense (1919).<ref name=liste/> This is not mentioned in Domizlaff: ''Das Hamburger Rathaus''. The period in Germany after the [[First World War]] until the [[Machtergreifung|takeover of power]] – by the [[Nazi Party]] in 1933 – is called [[Weimar Republic]]. The [[Hamburg Parliament]] was democratically elected.

=== Nazi Germany (1933–1945) ===
In [[Nazi Germany]] the "[[Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich]]" (''Gesetz über den Neuaufbau des Reiches'') of 30 January 1934 [[Gleichschaltung|abandoned the concept of a federal republic]]. The political institutions of the Länder were abolished altogether, passing all powers to the central government. The [[Hamburg Parliament]] was dissolved. The First Mayor was appointed by the Reich Interior Minister, though Hitler himself reserved the right to appoint him (as was also the case with Berlin and Vienna). The actual head of the Hamburg executive was the ''[[Reichsstatthalter]]'' (Regional Governor) [[Karl Kaufmann]] (1933–1945).<ref>Verg, pp. 161–163</ref>
