The right wing AfD party have had success in elections in Hamburg today. The party won more than five per cent of the vote, which means they can enter the Hamburg parliament.
It is the party's first time to break the five per cent hurdle in western Germany.
The AfD wants Germany to leave the euro zone and reinstate the D Mark.
It was a bad result for the CDU and the Greens and Die Linke made gains.
The SPD stay in control of the City State but with a reduced majority.
The FDP, with the charm and 'good looks' of Katia Suding, is back in German politics.
