The current minister is Klara Geywitz,[1] of the Social Democratic Party.
The Federal Ministry existed between 1949 and 1998 and was re-established in December 2021.
From 1965 the name of the ministry was the Federal Ministry for Housing and Urban Development (or 1969–72 with the reverse order of the two terms), until it finally received the name Federal Ministry for Regional Planning, Building and Urban Development in 1972, which it bore until its dissolution in 1998.
With the organizational decree of December 8, 2021, Chancellor Olaf Scholz ordered on the day of his appointment and with immediate effect that a Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building be re-established.
