12.6% for the AfD is a bit shocking. Germany never had a party like that so relevant since probably 45.
The maybe bigger story though is the SPD on a historic low... der Schulzzug war sehr leicht zu stoppen. Since they are going opposition (as well as they need to), forming a government will be tough. And the result will be tough for the low-income Germans... Merkel can only reasonably go with liberals and green party, which are not to be mistaken with American liberals or greens. The liberals are the party of the rich, and the green party has become the party of the wealthiest voters as well.
The black-green-yellow alliance btw. is widely called "Jamaica coalition".
