The Social Democratic Workers' Party of Germany, in German Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei Deutschlands, SDAP, was a German left-wing political party founded on August 7/9, 1869. The group was the successor to the Association of German Workers' Associations (Verband Deutscher Arbeitervereine) led by Wilhelm Liebknecht and August Bebel, but also included members from the General German Workers' Association (Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiter Verein), founded by the late Ferdinand Lassalle. Bebel became the party's first chairman.
As the party was founded in Eisenach, Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, its programme was dubbed Eisenacher Programm and its adherents the Eisenacher. Bebel and Liebknecht were influenced by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels and considered their party "a section of the International Workingmen's Association", sharing its aspirations. The party, which was based mainly in Saxony, demanded the democratisation of the state and of German society.
The party's organ, which was at first called Demokratisches Wochenblatt (Democratic Weekly Paper), later Der Volksstaat (The People's State), was published three times a week.
In1875 SDAP and ADAV finally merged to form the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (SAPD), which in turn became today's SPD.
