Communist Party of Germany (in German: Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands) is a minor political party in Germany, one of several who claim the KPD name. It was founded in Berlin in 1990.
The party chairman was Werner Schleese. He resigned in April 2006. The current chairman is Dieter Rolle.
KPD publishes a monthly newspaper, Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag). The youth wing is known as Kommunistischer Jugendverband Deutschlands (Young Communist League of Germany), which was founded 2002.
Ahead of the 2005 Bundestag elections, the party unsuccessfully appealed for an electoral union with the German Communist Party (DKP) and the Left Party. This provoked a split, resulting in the formation of the Communist Party of Germany (Bolshevik), which disbanded itself in 2011. KPD's line can be described as Stalinist, with some influence from North Korean Juche and Songun doctrines, which are enthusiastically supported by the organisation.
After the reformed SED-PDS had expelled Erich Honecker, the latter joined the ranks of the small KPD[1].
