The German People's Union (German: Deutsche Volksunion, DVU, also Liste D) was a far-right nationalist political party in Germany. It was founded by publisher Gerhard Frey as an informal association in 1971 and established as a party in 1987. In 2011, it merged with the National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD).
The party never reached the five-percent minimum in federal elections that is generally necessary to enter the Bundestag. The DVU won seats in several state parliaments.
The party, throughout its history, was financially completely dependent on Frey, something that caused it to be dubbed "Frey's Party".
