In the past, governments under the leadership of CDU/CSU and SPD took place respective times, including from 1966 to 1969, erstwhile Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger (CDU), and Vice Chancellor Willy Brandt (SPD).
Angela Merkel besides led specified a government for much of her 16-year term, including from 2017 to 2021 erstwhile her deputy was Olaf Scholz.
