It was founded on September 28, 2013 by former NPD officials, and activists from the banned Free Network South. They have ties with Assad's government in Syria, Hezbollah in Lebanon,[7] the National Corps, Right Sector and Svoboda in Ukraine,[8] the Nordic Resistance Movement in the Nordic countries[9] and the National Socialist Focus in Turkey. Their founder and chairman is Klaus Armstroff.[10] The party mostly operates in Thuringia, Bavaria and Brandenburg.[11]
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.[12] The party stood in the 2019 European elections.
