Alliance for Germany

Alliance for Germany

The Alliance for Germany (German: "Allianz für Deutschland") was an opposition coalition in East Germany. It was formed on February 5th 1990 in Berlin (then West Berlin)to stand in the East-German Volkskammer elections. It consisted of the Christian Democratic Union, Democratic Awakening and the German Social Union. The German Forum Party was invited to join, but refused.

The Alliance won the most votes in the election, winning 48.2% of votes cast (CDU 40.9%; DSU 6.3%; DA 0.9%), and would control 192 of 400 seats in the Volkskammer. It formed the interim-government in East Germany until German Reunification. Lothar de Maizière from the CDU was minister-president.
