CDU
CSU
FDP

The coalition agreement of the black and yellow federal government in Germany, which was in office from 1982 to 1983 in the last months of the 9th electoral period of the German Bundestag , was negotiated between the coalition partners CDU , CSU and FDP after the FDP ministers left the social-liberal coalition led by Helmut Schmidt . It was the basis for the constructive vote of no confidence against Helmut Schmidt, through whose success Helmut Kohl was elected Chancellor on October 1, 1982 and the Schmidt III cabinet was replaced by the Kohl I cabinet . After the agreements reached in 1966 between the Union and the SPD in the 5th electoral term of the German Bundestag, the coalition agreement in 1982 was only the second such agreement in the FRG that was not created on the basis of a Bundestag election result. It was the second coalition agreement of the 9th electoral term.

The first part of the coalition agreement contained six chapters. These chapters dealt with the 1983 federal budget, tax changes, proposals for dealing with pending legislative procedures in housing policy, savings in the federal budget, new principles of social policy and projects to promote investment and employment, and more far-reaching tasks. In addition, the ministers and state secretaries of the Kohl government were named. Two further sections described projects in domestic and legal policy and in Germany, foreign and security policy.
