1919 Hamburg state election
The 1919 Hamburg state election was held on 16 March 1919 to elect the 160 members of the Hamburg Parliament.[2] Despite the SPD winning an absolute majority, they still formed a coalition with the former members of the senate as well as the DDP in parliament, the SPD even allowed the incumbent independent mayor, Werner von Melle, to stay in office.[3] This election is regarded as the first fully democratic election in Hamburg since everyone, including women, were allowed to vote.[3]
