GRÜNE

What GRÜNE does

GRÜNE (legally BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN Marburg), operating under the trade name Grüne Marburg, is the local district association (Kreisverband/Stadtverband) of the German federal political party Bündnis 90/Die Grünen in Marburg, Hesse, Germany. It was founded in 1993 following the national merger of Bündnis 90 and Die Grünen, and is part of the federal party structure that also includes the Landesverband Hessen, Grüne Jugend, Campusgrün, and the affiliated Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung. The organization serves the citizens and electorate of Marburg, advocating and governing on environmental protection, climate action (including the unanimous 2019 Klimanotstand declaration), affordable housing, sustainable transportation (MoVe35), education, social services, and participatory democracy.

The chapter's "products" are political representation and policy output rather than commercial goods. It maintains a Stadtverband leadership body, a Stadtfraktion in the municipal council (Stadtverordnetenversammlung), and is part of the three-party Magistrat coalition with SPD and Klimaliste that has governed Marburg since 2021. Its most notable elected official is Nadine Bernshausen, who became Marburg's first female Oberbürgermeisterin in March 2021. In the 2018 Landtagswahl on the city level the party achieved 26.5%, ahead of CDU (20.8%) and SPD (19.5%), and it fielded 83 candidates for the Ortsbeiräte elections — the highest candidate count among Marburg parties.

The chapter's business and revenue model is non-commercial: it is funded through membership dues, donations, and allocations from the federal and state-level party organizations (specific figures are not publicly disclosed). It employs approximately 14 staff at its office at Frankfurter Str. 46, 35037 Marburg, and communicates with members and the public via its website (gruene-marburg.de), Facebook, Instagram (@gruene_marburg), press releases, public events, ZOOM virtual meetings, and a Marburg-Cloud internal intranet. The recently published Wahlprogramm 2026 and the election of a new Stadtfraktion speaking team (Elke Neuwohner and Maximilian Walz) on 23 March 2026 indicate active preparation for the next municipal election cycle as the 2021-2026 Koalitionsvertrag approaches expiry.
