The FDP Baden-Württemberg was founded in 1952 when the liberal Democratic People's Party (DVP) was founded in Württemberg-Baden and had been the FDP state association there since 1948, together with the FDP state association of Baden in the new state association FDP / DVP Baden-Württemberg rose. The FDP state associations of the three predecessor countries that existed in the area of Baden-Württemberg until 1952 had already organizationally joined the FDP federal party in 1948 . While the state party has meanwhile given up the addition of DVP, the parliamentary group in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg still uses the designation FDP / DVP parliamentary group.
organization
The regional association is divided into nine district associations, 42 district associations and 252 local associations and is based in Stuttgart. State chairman since November 2013 has been the deputy chairman of the Bundestag parliamentary group, Michael Theurer .
The highest organ is the state party congress, which traditionally takes place on the day before the Epiphany in Stuttgart and goes back to a tradition of the Württemberg DVP and the parties associated with it. Every two years there is also a party conference in the summer, on which the new elections for the state executive are the focus. Other organs of the state association are the state representative assembly, the state main committee and the state executive committee.
history
The FDP / DVP was founded on October 19, 1952 as a merger of the Democratic People's Party (DVP) of Württemberg-Baden and the FDP regional association in Baden , which appeared there until 1948 under the name Democratic Party . It was not until February 22, 1953 that the FDP / DVP regional association of Württemberg-Hohenzollern also joined. Until the election of Thomas Kemmerich as Thuringian Prime Minister on February 5, 2020 , the FDP / DVP provided Reinhold Maier (in Württemberg-Baden and Baden-Württemberg) from 1945 to 1953, the only liberal Prime Minister in the Federal Republic of Germany . The FDP / DVP was the government group in Baden-Württemberg from 1952 to 1966 and from 1996 to 2011. She has been in the opposition from 1966 to 1996 and again since 2011. Important personalities such as Federal President Theodor Heuss and Federal Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel emerged from the regional association .

Home of the FDP
Because of the greater strength of the FDP compared to the national average and because of the historical importance of liberalism in the parts of the state, Baden-Württemberg is also referred to as the “home of the FDP”. This is underlined by the traditional Epiphany meeting of the party, which takes place annually on January 6th in Stuttgart , which today is considered the political start of the year for the Liberals with national political significance.
Parliamentary group
The FDP / DVP parliamentary group in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg consists of twelve members after the state elections in 2016 . The parliamentary group chairman is Hans-Ulrich Rülke .
