Working Communist party of Germany

The KAPD or Kommunistische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands ( working Communist party of Germany ) is resulting from the scission conseillist Communist party of Germany (KPD). The working Communist party of Germany is founded the April 4th 1920 with Heidelberg. It gathers at its beginnings approximately 50.000 militants. Hermann Gorter is his principal organizer. In the beginning the party remains " member sympathisant" international Communist.

The KAPD refused any participation in the elections. Opposed to the Bolsheviks, the KAPD decides in 1921 to break with the IIIe Internationale.

Part of the militants wishes to create an organization “unified”, at the same time policy and trade-union: an important part of the militants then leaves the organization to found AAUD-E. In 1922, a new scission intervenes between the “fraction of Essen” and the “fraction of Berlin”. These scissions lead the young party which gathers nothing any more but 5.000 militants. The " Fraction of Essen" KAPD was related to the Internationale working Communist. The party publishes a newspaper, Kommunistische Arbeiter-Zeitung .

In 1933, part of the KAPD ends up joining the working communist Union of Germany (KAUD). Groups of resistance anti-nazis will be created in the tradition of the KAPD: the Roten Kämpfer , and the Kommunistische Räte-Union .
