Roland Vogt

In 1975, he became involved with the anti-nuclear power movement in southwestern Germany and in succeeding years edited environmental magazines.

[2] After the reunification of Germany, Vogt was hired by the "traffic light coalition" government of Brandenburg (consisting of the "red" (SPD), "yellow" (FDP), and "green" (Alliance 90/The Greens) parties) to oversee the process of "conversion" — the transition of local economies that had been based on supporting Soviet military bases to a civilian economy.

The Green party had opposed the US military presence in the 1980s in Rhineland-Palatinate and developed numerous alternative concepts.

In the regional elections of 2004, he campaigned for the Brandenburg parliament, but the Green party failed to reach the 5% minimum required for representation.

His attempt to win a spot on the Rhineland-Palatinate Green ticket for the Bundestag election of 2005 failed to find adequate support at the party convention in Mainz on 17 July 2005.
