Green Politician Trittin Contemplates Bundestag Exit
Veteran Green politician Jürgen Trittin is considering stepping down from his role as a member of the German Bundestag. Taking to the X platform (formerly Twitter) last Tuesday, Trittin shared that he had informed his parliamentary group of his intention to leave at the start of the new year.
In an interview with Der Spiegel, Trittin revealed that the current juncture of the legislative period was the right moment for an amicable departure. The 69-year-old looked back fondly on his two decades of involvement in Green government and expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve.
As confirmed by the Green parliamentary group, Ottmar von Holtz from Hildesheim will replace Trittin once his resignation is officially finalized. Trittin, who has been a member of the Bundestag since 1998, reflected on the milestones of his political career.
Before his time in the federal parliament, Trittin served as a member of the Lower Saxony state parliament, assuming the role of Minister for Federal and European Affairs from 1990 to 1994. Under the chancellorship of Gerhard Schröder (SPD), Trittin served as Federal Minister for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety, and as Chairman of the Green parliamentary group in the Bundestag from 2009 to 2013.
Trittin's political journey began when he joined the Greens in 1980.
