The federal government has been trying to go after DKP for a long time now. They tried pulling some legalistic crap to exclude them from running before under the pretext that they didn’t jump through whatever bureaucratic hoops. Whatever the reason this time, it is clear that the DKP is in the crosshairs of the bourgeois state, as they and every other Marxist party are anyway under observation by the state as “left-wing extremists”. Any party that declares that they want a different economic system than the free market and any other political system than the current bourgeois liberal one gets put on a list and surveilled, and all kinds of bureaucratic and legal barriers get thrown in their way to make life difficult for them.
I looked briefly but couldn’t find any reason for the DKP not being on the ballot. They don’t even show up in the list of parties which applied to participate and were denied.
The DKP exists because the KPD was declared anti-constitutional and banned by the West German government.
More recently, a tiny socialist party was found anti-constitutional by a judge because the constitution enshrines liberal private property rights and socialists don’t.
