Federal elections were held in Germany on 20 February 1890.[1][2] The Centre Party regained its position as the largest party in the Reichstag by winning 107 of the 397 seats, whilst the National Liberal Party, formerly the largest party, was reduced to 38 seats.

Contemporaries remarked on the striking increase in the vote share of the Social Democratic Party.[2] However, despite receiving the most votes, the Social Democratic Party won only 35 seats.[3] Voter turnout was 71.5%.[4]
