Germany's 709 members of parliament are gathering Tuesday for the first time since federal elections exactly one month ago.

All eyes will be on the 92 lawmakers representing Alternative for Germany (AfD), the first far-right party to enter the country's parliament in almost 60 years. The anti-immigration, anti-Islam AfD became the third largest party in the Bundestag after winning 12.6% of the vote, a result described by leading party figures as a "political earthquake."

CNN spoke to four of the new arrivals to find out who they are and what they want their party to achieve -- and to experts who have been watching their rise.
