 | | Elections in Germany gives information on election and election results in Germany, including elections to the Federal Diet (the lower house of the federal parliament), the Landtage of the various states, and local elections. | | | The election period is generally four to five years, and the dates of elections vary from state to state. | | | On 18 March 1990 the first and only free elections in the history of the GDR were held, producing a government whose major mandate was to negotiate an end to itself and its state. |

| | German federal election, 2005 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | German federal elections took place on September 18, 2005 to elect the members of the 16th German Bundestag, the federal parliament of Germany. | | | Since common lists of two or more parties are not permitted under German election law, in practice the DVU did not enter the election, and members of that party went on the NPD list. | | | After urging members to abstain on the vote, Chancellor Schröder purposely lost a vote of confidence in the Bundestag on July 1 by 296 to 151. |

| | Armseliges Deutschland: War Defeat, Reparations, Inflation, and the Year 1923 in German History. By Robert Selig |
| | In comparison, for the "off-year" election in November 1994, turnout by the voting-age population in the United States was 36 percent; turnout for the 1996 presidential election was only 46 percent. | | | Not only will the election set the switches for where Germany is headed in the 21st century, but it coincides with the end of the "Bonn Republic"; by the year 2000, parliament, the chancellery, and half the government ministries will have moved to Berlin. | | | Only two state elections will be held before fall 1999: in Bavaria, on September 13, where the CSU is sure to remain in power but with less than a 53-percent majority, and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, on September 27, where the incumbent CDU-SPD "grand coalition" may be replaced by a PDS-"tolerated" SPD minority government. |

| | The last time the confidence vote was used to bring about early elections, by Kohl in 1982, a group of deputies challenged the step in Germany& highest court, arguing that the then chancellor was abusing the constitution because he had a parliamentary majority at the time. | | | Only the German president, who has largely constitutional powers, can decide to dissolve parliament before the end of its four-year term, and then only when a chancellor has lost a confidence vote. | | | While both Brandt and Kohl won the elections that followed their moves to dissolve parliament, opinion polls indicate that Schroeder may not be as successful. |

In school, they also learn about Jews in other eras of German history, during medieval times and as German soldiers in World War I, she said. |
