Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate the spatial patterns of party support at the 2021 Bundestag election and to test predictors of the variance of party success at the constituency level. First, the state of literature on cleavages and party competition in Germany will be discussed. Then, factors that will be tested in this study as predictors in the spatial variance of party support will be presented. Further, a discussion of the results of a multivariate regression model will ensue, together with analysis of party strongholds. Finally, some preliminary conclusions which can be derived from these results will be presented.
