Highest-Priced Departments: Estimated Expenditures in the 2025-2026 State Budget
The Baden-Württemberg state budget for the 2025/2026 fiscal year, amounting to 50 billion euros, has been distributed across eleven individual plans. While the exact allocations for each sector remain undisclosed in the search results, education and school infrastructure projects have emerged as a significant funding area.
In the city of Stuttgart alone, hundreds of millions of euros are being invested in school projects such as the Feuerbach Campus (around €198 million) and the new NeckarPark education center (about €93 million), with annual budgets for renovation and maintenance amounting to tens of millions of euros.
The broader fiscal context for German states in 2025 indicates budgetary constraints due to overall federal borrowing and deficit considerations. However, no specifics for Baden-Württemberg’s entire budget breakdown are disclosed in the sources.
The department "Education and Sports" receives the largest share of the budget, around 29.5 billion euros. This allocation primarily benefits early language promotion and the expansion of full-day care at primary schools.
Other key areas of funding include environmental and climate protection, transport, research, and security. The Ministry of the Interior receives around 9.8 billion euros for internal security and digitization, with funds primarily benefiting the criminal justice system and the administrative courts.
The Ministry of Science receives around 14.1 billion euros for the promotion of research, science, and art, with a particular focus on universities where funds are used to digitalize technical resources and combat climate change.
The Ministry of Justice receives around 7.8 billion euros for the area of "Justice and Migration", with a particular focus on the faster and more efficient processing of asylum appeals.
The General Financial Administration receives 49.8 billion euros, which includes the state's construction program, municipal financial equalization, debt management, supply of state employees, and other expenses.
The State Audit Office receives 67 million euros, and the state parliament receives 296 million euros. The State Ministry as the government headquarters receives 151.5 million euros.
The budget for the 2025/2026 fiscal year is still distributed across eleven individual plans, with the seven other individual positions receiving smaller amounts of funding. For those seeking precise and detailed figures, these may be available in official Baden-Württemberg government budget documents or finance ministry releases for 2025/2026, which would typically list major expenditure categories and planned allocations.
