It is the last hurdle on the way to the first traffic light coalition: After the SPD and FDP vote in favor, the Green members' vote on the coalition agreement will also be announced on Monday.
The party wants to announce the result at 2:30 p.m.
Nobody doubts approval - even if there was a dispute about the allocation of posts beforehand.
If so, the government alliance could be sealed on Tuesday with the signing of the coalition agreement.
On Wednesday, Olaf Scholz (SPD) will be elected Chancellor and his cabinet will be sworn in.
In addition to the signing of the contract, it is also still unclear who will work in which ministry in the future.
The names of nine federal ministers from the Greens and the FDP are already known, the seven others from the SPD are still missing.
Who will move into the Ministry of Health?
Only Olaf Scholz as Federal Chancellor has so far been clear.
In addition, the SPD has to occupy the Chancellery - which has ministerial rank - as well as the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of the Interior and the departments for health, defense as well as development, construction and housing.
Among other things, Hubertus Heil is again acting as Minister of Labor, the previous Minister of Justice Christine Lambrecht is acting as Minister of the Interior.
The most exciting question is: who will receive the Ministry of Health?
It is far from clear whether Corona declarer Karl Lauterbach will get the job.
Scholz made a promise for the allocation of cabinet posts: he wants at least as many women as men in his government.
To do this, five of the SPD's seven federal ministerial posts would have to be filled with women.
According to the Basic Law, only the Chancellor and the Federal Ministers belong to the Federal Government, not the State Ministers and State Secretaries.
The SPD leadership intends to announce how the departments will be divided up this Monday at 10 a.m.
