Life

The commercial clerk Pape was appointed on March 28, 1967 by the central office of the Independent Workers' Party as provisional head of the state of Baden-Württemberg and removed from office on November 24, 1968 because of "inactivity". A week earlier, on November 18, he founded the Social-Liberal German Party (SLP). From 1969 he published the monthly newspaper Deutscher Standpunkt . He considered Catholicism , especially Jesuits , to be world conspirators.

As a single applicant, he participated in the federal elections in Stuttgart in 1969, 1972 and 1976, in the state elections in 1972 and in the mayor election in 1974.

On March 15, 1978 he renamed his SLP with 196 members to the Freedom German Workers' Party (FAP). In 1980 he took part in the state elections in Baden-Württemberg, where he represented a medium-sized program, demanded a “primacy of German over European unification” and a “free state in which neither communists nor Jesuits decide”. Pape demanded the repatriation of all “ethnic Germans” and the “repatriation of foreign workers”, polemicized against alimony and chaos in schools. The Parliamentary State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of the Interior , Carl-Dieter Spranger (CSU), was according to data of the mirror about the program: "In an overall assessment clearly right-wing extremist tendencies can not be found."

When Michael Kühnen had to serve a longer prison sentence in 1983 and his National Socialists / National Activists Action Front was banned, Kühnen recommended his fellow campaigners to join the small FAP as the new “legal arm of the movement”. Initially, Pape liked the territorial expansion with new state associations in Baden-Württemberg, North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony. The approximately 1000 immigrants made headlines in the following years with violent actions. Pape, who was re-elected at the Federal Party Congress in 1986, tried unsuccessfully to obtain assistance by means of criminal charges and appeals to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. In 1988 he was ousted as federal chairman of the FAP by Friedhelm Busse . For the European elections in Germany in 1989 , he stood as a candidate for the FAP.

In September 1990, Pape founded the German Freedom and Workers' Party (DFA), with which he ran for the mayoral election in Stuttgart on November 4, 1990 and received 341 votes. As a direct candidate in the 1994 federal elections, he reached even fewer voters. A renewed candidacy for the mayor election in 1996 was ruled out for him for reasons of age.
