Far-right, ultra-nationalist party and successor to the neo-Nazi German Reich Party (Deutsche Reichspartei, DRP) dissolved in 1965. Party was close to being banned by Germany's Constitutional Court in 2016 and 2017. Continued controversy over the NPD brand and failure at the legislative level convinced members to vote to rename the party Die Heimat (Homeland) on June 3, 2023 and de-register the old name. Party was led by Frank Franz who will continue to lead the newly-named party [Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD)].
