Abstract: The objective pursued by this study is to raise the question whether there exists a correlation between the reoccupation of ministers of the German Federal Government and their particular socio-demographic characteristics or human capital. Therefore, this paper depicts the decision of the German Federal Chancellor of reoccupation for all ministers between 1949 and 2012 by running several ordinal regression analyses. The results reveal that the age, the years of membership in the German Bundestag or in the party, as well as previous leaderships of German non-partisan non-profit organisations or business corporations significantly increase the probability of reoccupation. In addition, this analysis points out that the comparably prominent position of the vice chancellor also raises the chance to be reappointed.
