Reich Party Of The German Middle Class
The Reich Party of the German Middle Class (), known from 1920 to 1925 as the Economic Party of the German Middle Classes (), was a conservative German political party during the Weimar Republic. It was commonly known as the Economic Party (, WP). Development Following the establishment of the Weimar Republic, the German National People's Party (DNVP), which emerged as the main conservative party, hoped to include Germany's established bourgeoisie as a natural part of its own support base. This however was not to be the case, as the party quickly became associated with general rural interests as well as those of big business, and as a result the WP was formed in 1920 to be the party of these middle-class views.Geoff Eley, ''Reshaping the German Right: Radical Nationalism and Political Change After Bismarck'', University of Michigan Press, 1991, p. 359 In order to reflect the views of this group, the WP called for a reduction in government economic involvement, a freer hand for busi ...

Reich Party For Civil Rights And Deflation
The Reich Party for Civil Rights and Deflation (), also known as the People's Justice Party (''Volksrechtpartei'', VRP), was a political party active in the Weimar Republic in Germany. History The inflation crisis of 1923 sparked numerous calls for revaluation and, whilst measures to this end were introduced in 1925, they did not satisfy many advocates of the policy and so in 1926 the ''Sparerbund für das Deutsche Reich'' decided to form its own political party. The party set itself up as the defender of savers and called for the creation of as broad a middle class as possible. In contrast to the Reich Party of the German Middle Class (WP), another middle class party, it sought to represent those who were worst hit by the hyperinflation of the early 1920s, with the WP representing the property owners who had done well from the crisis.
