BAM! Andrea Luëbcke Steps Up for Annalena Baerbock in Bundestag
State Chairwoman of the Green Party gains entry into the German Federal Parliament (Bundestag) for Baerbock - Green Party's Chief Vies for Baerbock's Seat in the German Parliament
You heard it right! Andrea Luëbcke, the spankin' new state chair of the Greens in Brandenburg, is set to step into Annalena Baerbock's shoes in the Bundestag! A party spokesperson confirmed the news, stating that the shuffle's due to Luëbcke's list position. Baerbock's on a roll, pursuitin' the presidency of the UN General Assembly – expected to snag that gig in June.
"I'm swappin' places with Annalena in the Bundestag this summer of '25," Luëbcke announced. "The Greens keep their office and mandate separate – no shenanigans here!" she explained, affirming she'd resign from her chair post at the autumn party conference once she enters the Bundestag.
Luëbcke and Clemens Rostock were only recently appointed as Green Party leaders in Brandenburg this weekend. The Greens haven't been part of the Brandenburg Parliament since the regional elections last year.

Who's Annalena Baerbock, Again?
Annalena Baerbock, a major name in the German political scene, has been serving as the Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs since 2021. She's a heavy hitter for The Greens (Alliance 90/The Greens), once sharing party leadership duties with Robert Habeck.
Changin' of the Guard in Bundestag
- The Switch: If Annalena if she vacates her seat, the party would likely hand it to the next person on their list from the same constituency or state. The process will depend on how she exits and the electoral district she represents.
- Impact on the Greens in Brandenburg: Brandenburg's Greens stay focused on environmental issues, social justice, and progressive policies. Whatever new face steps up, they better bring their A-game!
The Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of the environment, as Chairwoman Andrea Luëbcke, the new state leader for the Greens in Brandenburg, is set to take up Annalena Baerbock's seat in the Bundestag this summer of '25. In Potsdam, Baerbock, a prominent figure in the German political scene and a former co-leader of the Greens, continues her pursuit of the presidency of the UN General Assembly, expected to secure the position in June.
