We propose and apply the finite-element discrete variable representation to express the nonequilibrium Green's function for strongly inhomogeneous quantum systems. This method is highly favorable against a general basis approach with regard to numerical complexity, memory resources, and computation time. Its flexibility also allows for an accurate representation of spatially extended hamiltonians, and thus opens the way towards a direct solution of the two-time Schwinger/Keldysh/Kadanoff-Baym equations on spatial grids, including e.g. the description of highly excited states in atoms. As first benchmarks, we compute and characterize, in Hartree-Fock and second Born approximation, the ground states of the He atom, the H$_2$ molecule and the LiH molecule in one spatial dimension. Thereby, the ground-state/binding energies, densities and bond-lengths are compared with the direct solution of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation.
