The Garden Party (German : Gartenpartei), until 2017 known as the Magdeburg Garden Party (German : Magdeburger Gartenpartei), is a minor political party in Germany that is primarily active in the city of Magdeburg. It was founded by allotment owners in 2013 who were opposed to development plans by the city that would have led to eviction of their allotments. The party has been represented on Magdeburg city council since 2014. [1]

Organization

The Garden Party in the Magdeburg city council formed a faction together with the Tierschutzallianz. [2]

Though officially a separate political party, [3] the Garden Party of Frankfurt am Main (Gartenpartei Ffm), founded in 2019, de facto acts as a local brauch of the Garden Party, both parties working closely together. Gartenpartei Ffm participated in two Frankfurt local elections, with its lead candidate Tilo Schwichtenberg, in 2021 and 2023 respectively.

Election results

The Garden Party was not able to participate in the 2019 European Parliament election in Germany due to not submitting documents in time. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">State of Saxony-Anhalt (1945–1952)</span> Subdivision of the Soviet occupation zone and one of the states of East Germany

The State of Saxony-Anhalt was a subdivision of the Soviet occupation zone and state of East Germany which broadly corresponds with the present-day German state Saxony-Anhalt. After the retreat of the US troops from the Western parts - following the agreements of the Yalta Conference - it was formed as administrative division called Province of Saxony by the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD) in July 1945. The province was a re-establishment of the Province of Saxony which existed in Prussia from 1816 to 1944. On 1 July 1944, the Province of Saxony was divided along the lines of its three government districts of Halle-Merseburg, Magdeburg and Erfurt. The two provinces became part of the new state including small parts of Thuringia (Allstedt) and Soviet-occupied parts of Anhalt (Dessau) and Brunswick. Following the first election for the Landtag in October 1946, the state was renamed to Province of Saxony-Anhalt on the same day. With the abolition of Prussia in February 1947, it was named State of Saxony-Anhalt. Compared to the administrative divisions of Nazi Germany, it comprised the Gaue Magdeburg-Anhalt, Halle-Merseburg and small parts of Southern Hanover-Brunswick and Thuringia.
