In the negotiations of the DKP-DRP with the German party and the Hessian National Democratic Party on July 1, 1949 about a joint election for the 1949 federal election , Steuer took part for his party together with Wilhelm Jaeger , Eldor Borck , Ludwig Schwecht , Leonhard Schlueter and Adolf von Thadden part. Although the plans had advanced quite far, they ultimately failed. The reason was the declaration by the British military government that a merger party would not receive a license and would therefore not be able to run for election.
