She received 6.2 percent of the initial votes and therefore did not make it into the Bundestag. Krumwiede-Steiner also ran in Mülheim – Essen I in the federal election in the 2021 federal election and was able to significantly improve her result to 14.1 percent. However, she again failed to gain direct entry into the Bundestag. She was placed 29th on the state list of Alliance 90/The Greens in North Rhine-Westphalia for the 2021 German federal election, but initially missed a mandate.[4] Only with the result of the partial repeat election on February 11, 2024, in Berlin was she able to win a mandate in the German Bundestag, which she took up on 4 March 2024.[5]
Since the local elections in 2014, Krumwiede-Steiner has represented Alliance 90/The Greens in the city council of Mülheim an der Ruhr. She has been on the state board of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in North Rhine-Westphalia since 2018.[1]
