Bundestag election 2025: Hessen chooses - CDU clearly in front, AfD with surprises!

The Bundestag election 2025 has led to a significant change in the political landscape in Hesse. According to the results published by the federal election manager, the CDU achieved the most popular with 28.9 percent of the vote. The SPD followed the second strongest force with 18.4 percent, while the AfD was even able to achieve a majority in certain constituencies, especially in constituency 174 (Main-Kinzig-Wetterau II). In Frankfurt, on the other hand, the encouragement for the AfD remained relatively low at only 10 percent.

An interactive card that provides comprehensive data on the votes of the CDU, SPD, Greens, AfD, FDP, left and other parties allows the voters to navigate the results according to specific communities and constituencies. This function was particularly appreciated in order to get a detailed overview of the election results in the approximately 11,000 cities and municipalities in Germany, including the Hessian constituencies and cities. [fris.de] reports that the turnout in Hesse was 83.1 percent and thus significantly above the values of the last election in 2021, which was 76.2 percent.

coalition scenarios and technical problems

A coalition calculator that simulates potential coalitions at federal level is also available to those interested. These tools and analyzes are particularly important for the political orientation in the coming months. During the election, however, there were difficulties because a technical problem led to no current results on the details of some municipalities. However, this problem has now been fixed.

The results also include the distribution of the first and second votes. The winners of the constituencies do not automatically move into the Bundestag because the twisting of the second votes depends. For example, a party with 20 percent of the second votes could receive 126 seats, even if it won 130 constituencies. This complexity makes the evaluation of the election results all the more exciting and challenging.
