Prime Minister Kurt Georg Kiesinger then entered into a coalition of CDU and FDP / DVP . The SPD remained the sole opposition party .

Starting position

The starting point was a coalition of CDU, FDP / DVP and GDP (GB / BHE) led by Prime Minister Kurt Georg Kiesinger . The SPD alone acted as the opposition party in the state parliament.
