• Section 2 (1) of the Political Parties Act (PartG)

A party loses its legal status as a party if it has not participated in either a Bundestag or a Landtag election with its own nominations for six years. Before the election, the respective election committees check whether the party can be admitted to the upcoming election (European, Bundestag, Landtag or local elections).
