Well, there are no historical parallels, but some people have thought about it already, especially in Baden Wuertemberg where both FDP and Greens have a strong tradition.

ARD also just reported that the Bavarian environment minister thought about it aloud

Which just proves that Merkel is not a true conservative. Merkel should join the FDP in the long run. Wasn't it anyway just a matter of circumstances that she ended up to be a protege of Kohl? Not a matter of ideology?

I don´t know....

What I do know is that some commenters here will disagree with my comment below. :)

But IMO the CDU - the conservatives - is a center-right party. And the SPD a center-left party.
With overlap in the "center", the "moderate" position.

A lot of German "conservatives" would be considered wild-eyed leftist radicals in the USA. :)

Greens:

We would have nothing to say to them

I was watching it on BBCNews and it doesn't seem like the greens want anything to do with CDU
