Quick explanation

FDP stands for Free Democratic Party (Freie Demokratische Partei).

Why is this correct?

The FDP is a liberal party and was founded in 1948.

Background

The Free Democratic Party (FDP) holds liberal positions: it emphasises individual freedom, civil rights and a market-oriented economic policy. The first Federal President, Theodor Heuss, came from the FDP. The party was often the junior coalition partner in federal governments, most recently from 2021 to 2024. In the 2025 federal election it failed to pass the 5 percent threshold and has not been represented in the Bundestag since.

Why are the other answers wrong?

“Free Germany Party”, “Peaceful Demonstrative Party” and “Leading Democratic Party” are invented names. Remember: the D stands for “Democratic”, the P for “Party”.

Memory tip

F-D-P: Free – Democratic – Party.
