The German Communist Party (German: Deutsche Kommunistische Partei - DKP) was formed in West Germany in 1968, in order to fill the place of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), which was banned by the Federal Constitutional Court in 1956. It was to a great extent born out of the Extraparliamentary Opposition. The party remained relatively small, never winning more than 0.3 percent of the total votes in federal elections. [1] Many members of the DKP left the party after the re-unification of Germany and joined the newly formed Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), a descendant of the Eastern German Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED). The DKP also had a military wing called Gruppe Ralf Forster.

For the 2005 federal elections, the DKP endorsed the ticket of the Left Party, successor to the PDS.

It has a weekly newspaper, unsere zeit.
