History

In 1946, the Social Democratic Party and Communist Party merged to form the Socialist Unity Party. The Socialist Unity Party was part of the National Front along with several other parties, including some non-leftist parties. In 1989, the party was split into the Social Democratic Party and the Party for Democratic Socialism, which finished second and third respectively behind the right-wing Alliance for Germany.
