History
Weimar Republic Parties
The history of the Weimar Republic is inextricably linked with the history of the political parties that operated during that period. However, like the republic itself, these parties did not appear out of nowhere and did not disappear into oblivion. The roots of most of them lie in the Kaiserreich, and after a 12-year hiatus in the form of the Nazi dictatorship, most of them were reestablished or served as the basis for the creation of new parties that shaped the political life of both German states in the second half of the 20th century.
