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.
