Göring-Eckardt prevailed in a fight vote against Kerstin Andreae . Britta Haßelmann became the first parliamentary manager (96.8 percent) for Volker Beck , who also resigned . Other parliamentary managing directors are Anja Hajduk (60 percent), Katja Keul (65.5 percent) and the previous political federal director of the party, Steffi Lemke (55.5 percent).

Chairperson
The Greens parliamentary group initially had three equal speakers who changed annually. This changed after the 1990 Bundestag election, in which the East German Greens were represented as a group with eight members in parliament. Werner Schulz was therefore not the parliamentary group, but the group speaker. Since the now all-German party moved back as a parliamentary group in 1994, it has had two chairmen elected for the entire legislature.

1 Members of the Bündnis 90 and the Green Party in the GDR elected by the Volkskammer 2 East German counting area 3 West German counting area
1983–1987 and 1987–1990 belonged to the Bundestag parliamentary group one or two Berlin members of the Alternative List for Democracy and Environmental Protection . On October 3, 1990, seven members of the Bündnis 90 and the Green Party in the GDR , who had been elected in the 1990 Volkskammer election, were added; the joint parliamentary group at that time was called the Greens / Alliance 90 group . In the general election in 1990 in the joined former West Germany , the Greens and the new federal states , the list Association Alliance 90 / Greens with separate electoral lists at. While the Greens in the West German census area failed at the five percent hurdle , in the East German census area the Alliance 90 / Greens list entered the Bundestag with eight members and formed a Bundestag group in the 12th electoral period from 1990-1994 .
Since the federal election in 1998 , Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen has been involved in the first red-green federal government , which was confirmed in 2002 . Since 2005 , the Greens have been back in the opposition. In the 2009 Bundestag election , they achieved their best result to date with 10.7 percent, but they were still the smallest of the five parliamentary groups. In the 2013 Bundestag elections , the Greens fell back to 8.4 percent and have since been the fourth largest and therefore smallest parliamentary group in the Bundestag.
Hans-Christian Ströbele was able to win the first direct mandate for his party in the federal election 2002 in the Bundestag constituency Berlin-Friedrichshain - Kreuzberg - Prenzlauer Berg Ost with an election campaign directed against the party leadership and repeated this in 2005, 2009 and 2013. In 2017, Ströbele did not run again, Canan Bayram won the direct mandate for Alliance 90 / The Greens in his place.
Rotation principle
Halfway through the 10th legislative period, the green members of the Bundestag resigned from the Bundestag due to the principle of rotation and vacated their seat for a successor who, as members of the parliamentary group, formed an office community with the member. In the first electoral term after entering the Bundestag, however, various problems arose in handling the principle of rotation. Petra Kelly and Gert Bastian refused to rotate, others reluctantly left the seats to an alleged or actual second guard. In 1986, a future rotation of MPs was decided every four years, i.e. every legislative period. In the following legislative period, only the members of the Hamburg and Berlin regional associations rotated. In 1991 the rotation principle was finally abolished.
Separation of office and mandate
Another green peculiarity is the now relaxed principle of the separation of office and mandate , which in Germany, unlike in many other countries, is not anchored in law. After an election as party spokesman, MPs had to give up their Bundestag mandate (e.g. Verena Krieger 1989 and Claudia Roth 2001). Since 2003, no more than a third of the members of the federal executive board may also be members of parliament. With the formation of the red-green federal government in 1998, the federal ministers Joschka Fischer , Andrea Fischer and Jürgen Trittin were allowed to keep their mandate in the Bundestag alongside the ministerial office.
Quota for women
A party-internal quota for women also stipulates that at least half of the list places are reserved for women. With the exception of the 10th, 12th and 17th legislative periods, the number of female members of the Bundestag in the green parliamentary group was always significantly higher than that of male members. In 1984 the all-female parliamentary group leader, the so-called “Feminat”, formed by Annemarie Borgmann , Waltraud Schoppe , Antje Vollmer , Christa Nickels , Heidemarie Dann and Erika Hickel , caused a stir .
Diets and discussions about an imperative mandate
Another element to prevent a professionalized parliamentary caste of functionaries in the early days of the party was that a large part of the diets had to be paid to the party and only an amount corresponding to a skilled worker salary could be kept personally. In addition, the parliamentarians were only given an imperative mandate by the party base , which was constitutionally untenable and practically played no role from the start.
Federal ministers, state secretaries and parliamentary group chairmen during the red-green federal government
Federal ministers in the Schröder I and II cabinet were Joschka Fischer , Jürgen Trittin and Andrea Fischer and, since 2001, Renate Künast . Due to the relaxation of the principle of the separation of office and mandate, all ministers were also members of the Bundestag. Parliamentary state secretaries were Uschi Eid (1998–2005), Simone Probst (1998–2005), Ludger Volmer (1998–2002), Gila Altmann (1998–2002), Christa Nickels (1998–2001), Margareta Wolf (2001–2005) , Matthias Berninger (2001–2005), Marieluise Beck (2002–2005), Kerstin Müller (2002–2005) and Rezzo Schlauch (2002–2005).
Vice-Presidents of the Bundestag
With Antje Vollmer , Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen provided the first Vice President of the Bundestag from 1994 to 2005 . She was followed by Katrin Göring-Eckardt from 2005 to 2013 . Claudia Roth has been Vice President of the Bundestag since 2013 .
Resignations and exclusions from the parliamentary group
Apart from the resignation of mandates due to the principle of rotation, because of a change to another political office or for personal reasons, there were some resignations and exclusions from the parliamentary group: Udo Tischer (1986), Ulrich Briefs (1990) and Christina Schenk (1994, later Member of the Bundestag) for the PDS) resigned and remained as non-attached MPs in the Bundestag. Otto Schily resigned his parliamentary mandate on November 2, 1989 and switched to the SPD after failing to run for the Greens parliamentary group. In 1990 he returned to the Bundestag for the SPD. Thomas Wüppesahl was expelled from the parliamentary group in 1988 after leaving the party in May 1987. In 1989 Trude Unruh , who had entered the Bundestag as a non-party candidate on the list of the Greens, was excluded due to differences over a claim to sole representation for the green policy on the elderly. Therefore she founded the party Die Grauen . Vera Lengsfeld switched to the CDU / CSU parliamentary group in 1996 because of a resolution by Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen not to exclude coalitions with the PDS in future .
