From 1992 until 1997, Hermann served as co-chair of the Green Party in Baden-Württemberg, alongside Dagmar Dehmer (1992–1993) and Barbara Graf (1995–1997).

In this capacity, he served as deputy chairman of the Committee on the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (1998–2005), member of the Parliamentary Advisory Board on Sustainability (2005–2009) and chairman of the Committee on Transport, Building and Urban Affairs (2009–2011).
