Berlin, March 15, 2023 – The German Green Party’s Bundestag member, Stephanie Aeffner, has passed away at the age of 48.
The Green Party’s parliamentary group leaders, Katharina Dröge and Britta Haßelmann, expressed their condolences on Wednesday, stating, “Her sudden death hits us deeply. We are losing a highly respected member of parliament who fought with passion, great conviction, and expertise for her and our causes.”
Out of respect for her friends, colleagues, and staff, the Green Party’s parliamentary group leadership requested that the press refrain from further inquiries. Aeffner had been a member of the German Bundestag since 2021 and often used a wheelchair during speeches in the plenum.
