50Plus The Generation Alliance (short name: 50Plus ) was a small German right-wing populist party that existed from 2004 to 2009.
history
The party was founded on June 26, 2004 in Birkenwerder , the state association in Bavaria on September 8, 2007. Hans Werner Müller , state chairman in Brandenburg and co-founder of the party, was state chairman and top candidate of the republicans in Berlin from 1991 to 1999 . The party was divided into two state associations and a federal association. The party was dissolved in 2009.
The abbreviation “50Plus” should make it clear to the party that it is aiming for a majority of over 50 percent in the long term. It is probable that the designation as “50Plus The Generations Alliance” is supposed to cause confusion about the party's special ties to the generation of over 50s.

In Brandenburg , the party won 1.0 percent of the vote in the 2004 state elections . In the 2005 federal election , the party entered Brandenburg under the name “50Plus - Citizens and Voters' Initiative for Brandenburg” and received 10,536 votes, which made up 0.7 percent of the votes in Brandenburg and around 0.1 percent nationwide.
