The plenary hall of the German Bundestag is divided into factions.

Fraktion (English: faction or fraction) is the name given to recognized parliamentary groups in the German Bundestag.[1] In order to form a recognized parliamentary group (Fraktion), a lesser group (Gruppe) needs at least 5% of the members of the Bundestag.[2] As there is also a 5% election threshold, with parties over this threshold usually getting assigned more than 5% of the seats, almost all groups can nearly automatically declare themselves factions, but due to conflicts, or as a result of below-threshold access granted to regional groups, this is not always the case. Also, even a group has to have at least three members to become recognized as Gruppe and gain more rights than the individuals have.

Current factions

Following German unification in October 1990, members of the East German parliament joined, resulting in some joint ventures until the 1990 German federal election in December.

Former factions

In the early years of the Bundestag, 1949 to 1960, several parties had faction or group status before disappearing.
