# 1995 Hessian state election

The 1995 Hessian state election was held on 19 February 1995 to elect the members of the 14th Landtag of Hesse. The outgoing government was a coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and The Greens led by Minister-President Hans Eichel.
The opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) returned as the largest party despite small losses.
