Bundnis 90/die Grunen Hessen

What Bundnis 90/die Grunen Hessen does

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Hessen is the Hessian state chapter of the German federal party BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN, a political party organization headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany. The organization runs the state-level party apparatus (Landesgeschäftsstelle), the parliamentary faction (Landtagsfraktion) in the 21st Hessian Landtag with 22 seats, and a network of local district and municipal chapters (Kreis- und Ortsverbände) across Hesse. It serves 14,000+ paid members and engages Hessian citizens through electoral campaigns, policy publications, newsletters, social media, and a parliamentary visitor program. From 2014 to 2024 the party participated in Hessian state government in coalition with SPD and then CDU; after the 2024 state election it became the largest democratic opposition faction.

The organization operates on a non-commercial revenue model combining membership dues, statutory public party funding under the German Parteiengesetz (tied to election results and private donation matching), and voluntary donations. Its products are political communication services rather than commercial goods or technology: GRÜNE Fakten fact sheets, concept papers (Konzepte für Hessen), Schul-Info education bulletins, the FraktionsGRÜN newsletter, eight topic-specific Themen-Newsletter, and a Landtag visitor program. Its technology stack is a standard WordPress website (gruene-hessen.de) with separate subdomains for party and parliamentary-faction content, supported by social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr) and email newsletter distribution systems. There is no proprietary technology product, no AI/ML component, and no app or API offering.

The GTM motion is community-led: the party recruits members, organizes at the district and municipal level through Landes­arbeit­sgemein­schaften and youth/women's/diversity caucuses, runs electoral campaigns, and distributes policy via digital and print channels. The governing structure comprises a co-led state chairmanship (currently Anna Lührmann and Julia Frank, elected March 15, 2025), a state treasurer, a state executive board (Landesvorstand), a parliamentary board led by Fraktionsvorsitzender Mathias Wagner, a state managing director (Landesgeschäftsführerin Bärbel Hartmann), and a Landtagsfraktion staff of policy advisors, press, and administrative support. Operations are geographically restricted to the German state of Hesse, with no global footprint.

Core offering

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Hessen is the Hessian state chapter of the German Green Party (BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN). It develops political programs, runs election campaigns, manages party membership activities, and operates the parliamentary faction (Fraktion) in the Hessian State Parliament (Landtag) with 22 elected representatives. The organization also coordinates local district associations (Kreis- und Ortsverbände), working groups, and citizen engagement initiatives across the state of Hesse.

Product overview

Bündnis 90/Die Grünen Hessen operates as a political party organization rather than a technology product company. The party's offerings consist of political communication and information services, including publications (such as GRÜNE Fakten, Schul-Info, and Konzepte für Hessen concept papers), newsletters (FraktionsGRÜN and topic-specific newsletters), and visitor programs for the Hessian state parliament. These are political information products and communication services, not technology products in the traditional sense.
