German Völkisch Freedom Party

The German Völkisch Freedom Party (German: Deutschvölkische Freiheitspartei, DVFP) 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 11 February 1921 as a political proponent of the Völkisch movement. Although not originally conceived as a Catholic-centric party, extremist politics in Baden-Württemberg quickly became defined along religious lines, with the explicitly Protestant German Fatherland Party being formed two months later. Although Catholic-centric, the party supported the governments of the Protestant-centric German National People's Party (DNVP) in 1926 and 1929 during the Chancellorship of Wilhelm Bazille. However, with the rise of the Prussian exile Alfred Hugenberg to the leadership of the DNVP, the DVFP refused to support another DNVP government after the 1931 elections.
