Federal elections were held in West Germany on 14 August 1949 to elect the members of the first Bundestag,[1] with a further eight seats elected in West Berlin between 1949 and January 1952 and another eleven between February 1952 and 1953.[1] They were the first free federal elections in West Germany since 1933 and the first after the division of the country.
