Alliance 90/The Greens, often simply Greens (German: Bündnis 90/Die


Grünen or Grüne; [ˈbʏntnɪs ˈnɔʏntsɪç diː ˈgʁyːnən, ˈgʁyːnə]), is a green political
party in Germany.[2] It was formed in 1993 as the merger of The Greens, formed in West
Germany in 1980, and Alliance 90, formed in East Germany in 1990. The Greens had
itself merged with the East German Green Party after German reunification in 1990.[6]
Since January 2018, Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck have co-led the party. It
currently holds 67 of the 709 seats in the Bundestag, and is the smallest of the six
parliamentary groups, having won 8.85% of votes cast in the 2017 federal election. The
leaders of the Alliance 90/The Greens parliamentary group are Katrin Göring-
Eckardt and Anton Hofreiter. The party is currently in opposition on the federal level, but
previously participated in a coalition government with the Social Democratic Party from
1998 to 2005.
The party holds seats in fourteen of Germany's sixteen state legislatures, and is a
member of coalition governments in eleven states. Winfried Kretschmann, Minister-
President of Baden-Württemberg, is the only Green head of government in Germany.
The Landtag of Baden-Württemberg is also the only state legislature in which Alliance
90/The Greens is the largest party; it is the second largest party in the legislatures
of Bavaria, Hamburg, and Hesse.
Alliance 90/The Greens is a founding member of the European Green Party and
the Greens–European Free Alliance group in the European Parliament. It is currently
the largest party in the G/EFA group, with 21 MEPs. In the 2019 European election,
Alliance 90/The Greens was the second largest party in Germany, winning 20.5% of
votes cast.
As of April 2020, the party has 101,561 members, making it the fourth largest party in
Germany by membership.[1]
