'''Bremen''' is a port city of northern [[Germany]] on the River Weser; with its satellite port of Bremerhaven, on the Weser estuary, it forms the ''Freie Hansestadt Bremen'' (the Free & Hanseatic City of Bremen), the smallest ''Land'' (state) in the [[Federal Republic of Germany]]. It retained this independence from surrounding ''Lander'' as during the Allied occupation of Germany following [[World War II]] it was a detached portion of the American Zone: the US forces wished for a seaport under their own administration, and the rest of the [[North Sea]] and [[Baltic Sea]] coasts of Germany were under [[British]] or [[Soviet]] control. The state of Bremen has a population of 646,000 (2006) of whom 546,000 live in Bremen, the rest in [[Bremerhaven]]. Bremen is currently ruled by left-center [[SPD]] and Leftist Environmental [[Alliance '90/The Greens]]. The mayor Jens Böhrnsen is a member of [[SPD]].<ref>http://www.rathaus.bremen.de/sixcms/detail.php?gsid=bremen54.c.2329.de</ref>
