Partei für Verjüngungsforschung – Polling data, political positions and political science insights

The party was founded on January 18, 2015, under the name 'Party for Health Research'. Its founder and chairman is the Berlin biochemist Felix Werth. In November 2022, it was renamed 'Party for Conventional Medical Rejuvenation Research', before it adopted its current name 'Party for Rejuvenation Research' in October 2024.

As a single-issue party, it focuses on promoting rejuvenation research. Its main goal is to develop therapies that repair age-related damage and thus can prevent age-related diseases and age-related death. The party aims to enable people to lead an indefinitely long, healthy life.

The party demands the establishment of additional state research and study institutions to accelerate the development of rejuvenation medicine. It emphasizes that other medical research areas should not be disadvantaged and expects economic benefits from rejuvenation research, such as reducing disease and care costs.

The party focuses exclusively on its core issue and leaves other political areas to potential coalition partners. It seeks coalitions with all major parties except the AfD. Its goal is to increase public interest in rejuvenation research so that larger parties take this issue more seriously.

Since its founding, the party has participated in several elections, including the federal election in 2017 and the European election in 2019, where it received 0.1% and 0.2% of the votes, respectively. In the 2016 Berlin House of Representatives election, it achieved 0.5% of the second votes. These results show that the party has so far maintained a low but constant presence in the German political landscape.
