History
editThe party was established on 27 November 1918 under the name German Party in Estonia (‹See Tfd›German: Deutsche Partei in Estland, Estonian: Saksa Erakond Eestimaal) in preparation for the Constituent Assembly elections the following April. Following the Estonian War of Independence, the party was renamed the German-Baltic Party.
The party won three seats in the elections in April 1919.[1] In the parliamentary elections in 1920 it won four seats, but was reduced to three seats in the 1923 elections and two seats in the 1926 elections.[2] For the 1929 elections the party formed the German-Swedish Bloc,[3] winning three seats.[2] This was continued for the 1932 elections, with the bloc again winning three seats.
