Third Way (Germany)
The III. Path or The Third Path (German: Der III. Weg, Der Dritte Weg) is a far-right and neo-Nazi political party in Germany.
It was founded on 28 September 2013 by former NPD officials, and activists from the banned Free Network South. They formerly had ties with Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria, and they currently have ties with Hezbollah in Lebanon, the National Corps, Misanthropic Division, Right Sector and Svoboda in Ukraine, and the Nordic Resistance Movement in the Nordic countries. Their founder and chairman until 2021 was Klaus Armstroff. The party mostly operates in Thuringia, Bavaria and Brandenburg.
The party is registered at the Federal Returning Office as "DER DRITTE WEG" short-form: "III. Weg". According to the party's website, the official English translation of the name is "The Third Way", stylized as "THE THIRD WAY". Despite this, the party's name is commonly translated as "The Third Path" or "The III. Path".
Third way was founded in Heidelberg on 28 September 2013 by Klaus Armstroff, a former official of the Rhineland-Palatinate NPD, with the other five founding members of its federal board also being former NPD members. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) the party is "particularly linked to the programme of the so-called left wing of the NSDAP around the Strasser brothers" arguing for "German socialism" and the "preservation and development of the biological substance of the people."
Third way participated in its first election In May 2014 earning 0.5% of the vote in Bad Dürkheim and in the 2016 election received 0.1% of the vote in Rhineland-Palatinate. In a 2015 report by the BfV it was estimated that the Third Way had ~300 full time members mostly in Rhineland-Palatinate but with a smaller presence in East Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Brandenburg and Saxony. In 2014 their Bavarian section absorbed the membership of the banned Free Network South.
A group of people bearing Der Dritte Weg flags marched in through a town in Saxony on 1 May 2019, the day before the Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust, carrying a banner saying "Social justice instead of criminal foreigners". The Central Council of Jews said that the state government should ban such marches if it were serious about tackling right-wing extremism. The party stood in the 2019 European elections, achieving 0.03% of the vote.
Der Dritte Weg has sent a delegation to the annual neo-Nazi 612 march in Finland. In 2019 the event was attended by then leader of the party Armstroff.
During the 2021 German federal election, the party had controversial posters which called for Hang the Greens. These posters were ordered to be taken down by the courts later on.
