Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (Aufbauorganisation)
The Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (Aufbauorganisation) (KPD (AO), Communist Party of Germany (Pre-Party Formation)) was a West German Maoist group founded in 1970. It changed its name to the Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands (KPD) a year later.[1]
In 1973 KPD members occupied and vandalized Bonn's city hall to protest a visit by South Vietnam's Prime Minister.[2][3] By 1974 it was West Germany's most significant Maoist party, with 5,000 members.[3] About a quarter of its members were women.[3] It dissolved in 1980.[3]
Jörg Immendorff illustrated some of their publications.[4]
