history

Peter Willers (2007)
Ralf Fücks (2010)
Karoline Linnert (2007)

On March 15, 1979, the Bremen Green List (BGL) was founded, which ran for the Bremen citizenship that same year . On October 7th , the BGL, which just overcame the 5% hurdle nationwide with 5.14% , entered Bremen's citizenship with four members. The four mandates of the BGL in the citizenry fell to Olaf Dinné , Axel Adamietz , Peter Willers and Delphine Brox . The BGL was the first green group to move into a state parliament. However , the BGL failed to achieve parliamentary group status.

The spokesman for the BGL citizenship group was Dinné. In addition, a Bremen regional association of the West Berlin Alternative List for Democracy and Environmental Protection (AL Bremen) stood for election and received 1.4% of the votes.

On November 11, 1979, the Bremen state association of the party The Greens was founded in the 1950s in Fischerhude , which at that time was the 4th state association of the party nationwide. AL Bremen joined the regional association in 1980, but not the BGL. However, Peter Willers joined the Greens in April 1982 and was the top candidate in the 1983 state election . In addition to the Greens, the BGL and the DKP -near company-alternative list again took part. However, only the Greens were able to win seats with 5.4% of the vote.

In the 1991 citizenship election , the Greens achieved their best result in Bremen with 11.37% and, together with the SPD and the FDP, formed the first traffic light coalition at state level. In the Wedemeier III Senate , Ralf Fücks became Senator for Environmental Protection and Urban Development and Helga Trüpel Senator for Culture and the Integration of Foreigners. Fücks was also Deputy President of the Senate from November 2, 1993 to February 23, 1995, replacing Claus Jäger (politician, 1943) . Because of the so-called birdie affair , there was a vote of no confidence in Environment Senator Fücks on February 23 and the traffic light coalition was broken. The environmental department had registered the Hemelinger Marsch industrial park as a bird sanctuary with the EU without the participation of the political bodies . Early elections were held on May 14 of the same year , from which the Greens emerged stronger with 13.4%, but no longer participated in the state government.

Instead, Henning Scherf (SPD) formed a coalition with the CDU . From 1995 to 1999 the Greens formed the strongest and from 1999 to 2007 the only opposition faction in the state parliament of Bremen.

In the 2007 general election in Bremen , the Greens, with the then parliamentary group leader Karoline Linnert as the top candidate, received 16.5% of the vote. In addition, Mayor Jens Böhrnsen (SPD) decided to end the grand coalition with the state CDU in favor of a red-green coalition. On June 29, 2007 Linnert became mayor and deputy president of the Senate as well as Senator for Finance in Senate Böhrnsen II and Reinhard Loske Senator for Environment, Building, Transport and Europe.

In 2011 , the Greens succeeded in increasing their result to 22.5%, overtaking the CDU and making the second largest parliamentary group in the Bremen citizenship. After the election, the Greens agreed with the state SPD on a continuation of the red-green coalition. Due to the comparatively good performance of the Greens, the Greens have now been granted three senatorial posts. Linnert kept her office, while Joachim Lohse succeeded the previous Senator for the Environment, Loske. The new Senator for Youth, Social Affairs and Women became Anja Stahmann , previously deputy parliamentary group leader in the citizenship.

In the 2015 state election in Bremen , the Greens suffered losses of 7.4 percentage points, landed at 15.1% and became the third largest parliamentary group in the Bremen state parliament. The red-green coalition continued.

After an election campaign focused on the issue of climate protection, the Greens in Bremen achieved 17.4% of the votes in the 2019 general election in Bremen and became the third strongest force after the CDU and SPD. In a group made up of only three other Greens with the top candidate Maike Schäfer, explorations with the CDU and SPD were initiated. At a general meeting, a large majority voted in favor of entering into coalition negotiations with the SPD and the Left.
