1996 Baden-Württemberg state election

The 1996 Baden-Württemberg state election was held on 24 March 1996 to elect the members of the 11th Landtag of Baden-Württemberg. The incumbent grand coalition government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Social Democratic Party (SPD) under Minister-President Erwin Teufel retained its majority. However, the CDU chose not to renew the coalition, instead forming a new government with the Free Democratic Party (FDP). Teufel was subsequently re-elected as Minister-President.

The Republicans unexpectedly retained their seats with a small swing against them, despite polling indicating they would fall out of the Landtag.
