German Communist Party

The German Communist Party (German: Deutsche Kommunistische Partei) was formed in West Germany in 1968, in order to fill the place of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD: Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands), which was banned in 1956. It was to a great extent born out of the APO. Many members of the DKP left the party after the reunification of Germany and joined the newly created PDS.
