The former regional office of the SPD Rhineland-Palatinate in Mainz-Altstadt

The SPD Rhineland-Palatinate is the Rhineland-Palatinate state association of the SPD .

prehistory

The first permanent local groups were founded in 1872 in the Palatinate . The National Socialists banned the SPD in 1933.

history

At the turn of the year 1945/46 the French occupation authorities approved the establishment of political parties again. Between February and May 1946, the re-establishment took place at the local level and in the regions of the northern part of the French occupation zone . In the advisory national assembly , the SPD rejected unlike the CDU Rhineland-Palatinate in particular because of the anchoring of the denominational school the state constitution from. Also because of the SPD's skepticism towards the permanent existence of the state (→ History of Rhineland-Palatinate # Founding of Rhineland-Palatinate ), the district associations remained the decisive organizational level for decades. In terms of state politics, the SPD was only present through the parliamentary group in the state parliament.

From 1985 under Rudolf Scharping , the SPD finally took the step towards a positive commitment to the country. This resulted in the streamlining of the organization and a strengthening of the regional association, which was expressed, among other things, in the fact that in 1991 the party was the first to run for state elections with a uniform state list instead of district lists . From 1993 onwards, Kurt Beck brought this development to an end with the creation of a unified state association and the transformation of the regional party districts into largely disempowered regional associations.

On October 6, 2012 it was announced that Kurt Beck would become honorary chairman of the state SPD.

Parliament

The SPD was a junior partner in the Rhineland-Palatinate government from 1946 to 1947 in the Boden I cabinet and from 1947 to 1951 in the Altmeier I cabinet . From 1957 to 1991 the party was the strongest opposition faction in the state parliament. Since May 21, 1991, the SPD has once again been the ruling party in Rhineland-Palatinate (until May 18, 2006) as a senior partner in coalition with the FDP Cabinet Scharping , Cabinet Beck I , II , III , Cabinet Beck IV alone ruling from 2006 to 2011 and since 2011 in coalition with alliance '90 / The Greens cabinet Beck V . Since the Red Green coalition lost the majority in the state elections in 2016 due to the Greens losing votes, the SPD has been ruling together with the FDP and the Greens since May 2016. Cabinet Dreyer II . The SPD has been the strongest parliamentary group since 1991.
