Liberale Partei Germania

The Liberale Partei Germania (English: Liberal Party Germania), often abbreviated as LPG, was a pan-German liberal party in the German Reichstag from 1880 until 1882. The party was formed by Friederich von Coesfeld and Fynn Vogt in 1880 from pan-German elements in the Partei für wirtschaftlichen und kolonialen Wohlstand und Entwicklung. Its platform mostly consisted of pan-Germanism; advocating for a united German state containing both Germans and Austrians, in addition to protectionism to protect local industry against foreign imports. In 1882, the party was dissolved in the aftermath of the von Coesfeld Incident. During its short existance, the party managed to gain considerable traction and was even able to provide a Chancellor in a government with the Nationalliberale Partei and the Deutschkonservative Partei.
