Everything about The German Progress Party totally explained
The
German Progress Party (
Deutsche Fortschrittspartei or
DFP) was the first modern political party with a program in Germany, founded by the liberal members of the
Prussian Lower House in 6 June, 1861.
In its program the party demanded among other things
unification of Germany with the central power in Prussia,
representative democracy, implementation of the
rule of law and larger responsibility for the local government. Between
1861 and
1865 it had the largest group in the Prussian Lower House.
After the parliament had approved a law granting an amnesty for the government of
Otto von Bismarck for its arbitrary conduct concerning the
Austro-Prussian War in
1866, the party split apart. In
1867 the right wing of the party which supported the foreign policy of Bismarck seceded to form the
National Liberal Party. In
1868 a democratic-republican wing in Southern Germany seceded to form
German People's Party.
In
5 March,
1884 the party finally merged with the
Liberal Union into
German Freeminded Party.
The leaders of the party included Baron
Leopold von Hoverbeck,
Franz Leo Benedikt Waldeck and
Hans Victor von Unruh, after the split of 1867 von Hoverbeck and Waldeck, who were soon succeeded by
Eugen Richter.
Rudolf Virchow was also a member of it, as well as
Theodor Mommsen for some time.
