Party Origins

Franko Stein of Eger (Cheb) and an apprentice bookbinder Ludwig Vogel of Brüx organized the Deutschnationaler Arbeiterbund (German National Workers' League) in 1893. This was a collection of laborers, apprentices, and unionists from the railroads, mines and textile industries, who upheld nationalism as a result of their conflicts with the non-German speaking portions of the workforce, especially in the railway systems. In 1899, Stein was able to convene a workers' congress in Eger and promulgated a 25-point program. Cheb (German: Eger) is a city in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. ...

At a party congress in Vienna in May of 1918, the DAP changed its name to the Deutsche Nationalsozialistische Arbeiterpartei (D.N.S.A.P.) and produced a National Socialist Program which is thought to have influenced the later German Nazi manifesto.
