The article Partisan and professional control: Predictors of bureaucratic tenure in Germany, written by Julia Fleischer, was originally published electronically on the publisher's internet portal (currently www.SpringerLink) on 10/08/2016 without open access.

With the author's decision to opt for Open Choice the copyright of the article changed on [date the updated version will be/was published] to © The Author(s) 2016 and the article is forthwith distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution.

We regret that incorrect figures were introduced to Table 3 (Predictors of bureaucratic tenure: Cox proportional hazard regressions) during the typesetting of the article. The publisher apologises for the errors.

The correct figures in Table 3 are as follows:

−0.316 in column Model 1 should read 0.316

−0,122 in column Model 1 should read 0.122

−0.001 in column Model 1 should read 0.001
