{{short description|Overview of the politics of the German state of Hesse}} {{Politics of Germany}} The '''politics of Hesse''' 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 Hesse. The state has a multi-party system where, as in most other states of former Western Germany and the federal level, the three main parties are the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), and the centre-left Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).

==Governments of Hesse==

The governments and ministers-President (''Ministerpräsidenten'') of the People's State of Hesse during the time of the Weimar Republic were: # 1919–1928: Center-right government, an SPD–DDP–Zentrum coalition led by Carl Ulrich (SPD) as minister-president # 1928–1933: Center-right government, an SPD–DDP–Zentrum coalition led by Bernhard Adelung (SPD) as minister-president

The governments of the National Socialist era: # 1933: National Socialist government with Ferdinand Werner (NSDAP) as minister-president # 1933–1935: National Socialist government with Philipp Wilhelm Jung (NSDAP) as minister-president # 1935–1945: National Socialist government with Jakob Sprenger (NSDAP) as minister-president

The governments and minister-Presidents of Hesse since the establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany: # 1945: Military occupation provisional government led by Ludwig Bergsträsser(SPD), appointed by the U.S. Military # 1945–1946: Military occupation provisional government led by Karl Geiler (no party), appointed by the U.S. military # 1946–1950: Theoretically a CDU–SPD grand coalition with Christian Stock (SPD) as minister-president, though U.S. Military Occupation remained through 1949. # 1950–1969: First truly non-military government of the Federal Republic, led by Georg-August Zinn (SPD), whose SPD ruled in coalition with the All-German Bloc/League of Expellees and Deprived of Rights, a party of expelled eastern Germans whose political goal was to retrieve their homelands (heimatlaender); and also with the League of Expellees' successors party the Gesamtdeutsche Partei. # 1969–1976: Center-left government of the SPD-FDP, with Albert Osswald (SPD) as minister-president # 1976–1982: Center-left government of the SPD-FDP continued with Holger Börner (SPD) as minister-president. # 1982–1984: Center-left government of the SPD (single party rule) with Holger Börner (SPD) as minister-president. # 1984–1987: Center-left government of the SPD–Greens with Holger Börner (SPD) as minister-president. # 1987–1991: Center-right government of the CDU–FDP with Walter Wallmann (CDU) as minister-president. # 1991–1999: Center-left government of the SPD–Greens with Hans Eichel (SPD) as minister-president. # 1999–2003: Center-right government of the CDU–FDP with Roland Koch (CDU) as minister-president. # 2003–2009: Center-right government of the CDU (single party rule) with Roland Koch (CDU) as minister-president. # 2009–2010: Center-right government of the CDU-FDP with Roland Koch (CDU) as minister-president. # 2010–2014: Center-right government of the CDU–FDP with Volker Bouffier (CDU) as minister-president. # 2014–2019: Center-right government of the CDU–Greens with Volker Bouffier (CDU) as minister-president. # 2019–2022: Center-right government of the CDU–Greens with Volker Bouffier (CDU) as minister-president.
