In 2008, Hirsch was elected the top Bavarian candidate for the 2009 European elections at the FDP state party congress and came in 9th on the federal list. In the 2014 European election campaign, she was again the Bavarian top candidate and came fourth on the FDP federal list , but failed to get back into the EU Parliament. In 2017 she moved up to the EU Parliament through the election of the EU MPs Alexander Graf Lambsdorff and Michael Theurer to the Bundestag.

In 2018, the FDP Bayern elected her again as the Bavarian top candidate for the 2019 European elections , but her candidacy at the FDP European Party Congress 2019 for the promising second and sixth place on the list was unsuccessful. The reason for this is said to have been a conflict between her and the FDP general secretary and top candidate for the 2019 European elections, Nicola Beer, because Hirsch Beer had accused him of “lack of demarcation” and “good relations” with the Hungarian government. Hirsch was ultimately elected to number 29 on the list, then withdrew her candidacy for the EU Parliament and left it in 2019.

Dahrendorf district

Hirsch is co-founder of the so-called Dahrendorf district. This merger of the elected representatives of the European Parliament (Nadja Hirsch, Jorgo Chatzimarkakis , Alexander Alvaro , Gesine Meissner ) and the Bundestag ( Miriam greeting and Sebastian Körber ) and Christoph Giesa was formed in December 2010. In the tradition of thinking of Ralf Dahrendorf deals the group with the question of which life chances a just society must offer and how freedom is preserved at the same time. The aim is to position the FDP more broadly.
