BY GENDER
Male voters tended more towards the centre-right CDU/CSU and far-right AfD, while female voters showed stronger support for the centre-left SPD and the hard-left Die Linke party.
BY AGE GROUP
The AfD saw its support weaken considerably among older age groups, while Die Linke performed well among younger voters.
