5:24Now PlayingGermany's anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany is on course for victory in the eastern state of Thuringia, according to projections.
The AfD is set to win 30.8% of the vote, says a projection for public broadcaster ARD, more than six points ahead of the conservative CDU, and far in front of Germany's three governing parties.
If confirmed, it would give the far right its first vote win in a state parliament since World War Two, although it is unlikely to be able to form a government in Thuringia.
The AfD's top candidate in Thuringia, Björn Höcke, who is a highly controversial figure in Germany, hailed a "historic victory".
His party has been designated as right-wing extremist and he has been fined for using a Nazi slogan, although the former history teacher denies knowingly doing so.
