In January 1978 Mombaur was co-founder of the Lüchow-Dannenberg district association of the Green List Environmental Protection (GLU) and was elected district chairman. In the state elections on June 4, 1978 in Lower Saxony , he ran as the top candidate from Gorleben , which was symbolic of the anti-nuclear movement. The GLU achieved 17.8 percent in the constituency, but only 3.9 percent nationwide and thus failed to pass the five percent hurdle .

In the election for the 10th Lower Saxony State Parliament on March 21, 1982 the party "The Greens" - as the GLU was called since January 1981 - received 6.5 percent and Mombaur with ten party friends succeeded for the second time after Baden-Württemberg in 1980 as a party " The Greens "move into a state parliament. He was a member of the Lower Saxony state parliament until 1985, where he was chairman of the parliamentary group from 1982 to 1983. Mombaur was a staunch advocate of the rotation principle within the Green Party at the time and represented it in a constitutional lawsuit before the Lower Saxony State Court in Bückeburg. The latter decided on June 5, 1985 that the voluntary waiver of a mandate by a member of parliament was compatible with the state constitution, but not the principle of rotation. Then Martin Mombaur left the Lower Saxony state parliament in 1985 with a voluntary waiver of his mandate.
