the status of the ministerpräsidenten is due to the demand after world war 2 to prevent a strong central government in germany. thats why their status and power in the improvised constitution, the Basic Law, has been boosted so much: to counter "too much" centralism. But the Basic Law was expected to be changed once reunification had taken place, turning it into a real, full-status constitution being called that: no Basic Law, but a constitution.

That so strong local chieftains would not like to agree to change the legal basis of their immense power and influence for selfish reasons, has been overseen, it seems. And that's why 20 years after reunification we still have no regular consiotution, but just a somewhat improvised placeholder. And it will stay like that. And that is why we will noever have such astrong and free-to-act government in the future like they can have in the US, England or France.
