German Fatherland Party

The German Fatherland Party (German: Deutsche Vaterlandspartei, DVLP) is a German far-right political party operating in Baden-Württemberg. It also operates illegally underground in the Free Socialist Republic of Germany.
The party was founded on 14 April 1921 through the splitting away of an extremist faction from the German National People's Party (DNVP). The DVLP is staunchly Protestant and opposes the Catholic-oriented German Centre Party and German Völkisch Freedom Party, despite having similar ideals to the latter. It has traditionally functioned as an opposition party, first entering government after joining the DNVP-led government of Alfred Hugenburg in 1931.
