Weimar Republic
In the Weimar Republic of 1919-1933, the term "grand coalition" was used for a coalition that included the Social Democratic SPD, the Catholic Centre Party and the liberal parties DDP and DVP. Such a coalition was in power in 1923 and in 1928-1930, although the latter was not a tight coalition in the modern sense.
