Green Party faction (Bundestag) |
 | | Scoring 5.6% in the federal parliamental elections in 1983, the Greens enter the Bundestag for the first time with a total of 28 seats; fraction members are rotated after two years in 1985 (with the exception of Petra Kelly and Gert Bastian[?]), but the concept is abolished in May 1986 again. |
 | | In the 1987 parliamental elections, the Green Party manages to increase its share of votes to 8.3%, gaining 44 parliamental seats in the process. |
 | | In 1990, elections are held separately in former East and West Germany; in West Germany, the Green Party does not manage to gain enough votes to enter parliament, only scoring 4.8% instead of the necessary 5%, but in East Germany, the Greens gain a 6.1% share of the votes and 8 seats in the Bundestag. |
