In the 2017 Saarland state election in Saarland, Limbacher had initially missed out on entry due to his list placement.
Limbacher was also nominated by the SPD as a candidate for the 2021 federal election. This time he received the most votes with 36.6%, followed by Markus Uhl, who received 26.1% of the votes. This meant that he entered the 20th German Bundestag as a directly elected MP. In the course of this, he resigned his Landtag mandate. Susanne Kasztantowicz succeeded him in the Landtag.
