German National People's Party
At the time of the founding of the organization, its name was National League of Youth Groups of the German National People's Party ("Reichsverband der Jugendgruppen der Deutschnationalen Volkspartei"). In the autumn of 1922 the name Bismarck Youth of the German National People's Party ("Bismarckjugend der Deutschnationalen Volkspartei") was adopted, in short "Bismarckjugend". The name referred to Otto von Bismarck, and sought to link the organization with Bismarck's historical legacy. Bismarck's grandson Otto gave his permission to the organization to use his grandfather's name.
