Body

Gruen gewinnt - Leitfaden fuer Wahlkaempfe und Kampagnen is a 44-page illustrated campaign handbook published by the German Greens (Buendnis 90/Die Gruenen) and currently hosted at edeos.org as a free PDF download [source: gruenwins-leitfaden]. The handbook is a cross-ideological exemplar of a party field-operations manual: it lays out, in plain German, how to run a constituency-level electoral campaign and a broader political campaign using the European-Green organising tradition [source: gruenwins-leitfaden]. It is widely cited in German civic-society training and is one of the few openly-published Green-party field manuals in Europe [source: gruenwins-leitfaden].

Coverage is structured as a working tool, in five named sections: target-group analysis (Zielgruppenanalyse); team building (Teamaufbau); action cards (Aktionskarten); canvassing (Tuerschildbesuche); and interim review (Zwischenbilanz) [source: gruenwins-leitfaden]. Each section carries worked examples and printable worksheets the reader can adapt; the visual presentation is intentionally schematic, with planning canvases and card-sorting exercises that translate well to a workshop wall [source: gruenwins-leitfaden].

A campaigner reaches for it when designing a German-tradition electoral or political campaign, when calibrating European Green and progressive-party field methods for use in non-German contexts, or when wanting a small, visually-clear planning canvas for the front end of a campaign [source: gruenwins-leitfaden]. Treat as link-only. [source: gruenwins-leitfaden]
