so what you see today is not the beginning of Germany goes to right - what you see here is that ALL right wing parties found together in one and they will go under together. there where always tons of right wing parties in Germany what did not make it into the bundestag because not one did ever reach the 5%.

each of 3 parties what will have to build the government coalition now have a very strong core competence - if they can agree that each one can use their competence it will be the best and most competent government what Germany have ever seen.

i personally was hoping for such a result even when i would wish that a few % of CDU/CSU would still be gone to FDP and the green party. but they will receive that in 4 years when AfD is history (same as the republicans went to be history in Germany)
