Christian Falangist Party of Germany (Christlich Falangistische Partei Deutschlands; CFPD) was founded in 2006, with the aid of Christian Falangist Party of America (CFPA), which saw it as the first step in transplanting of its ideas abroad [1, 2]. However, it turned to be the last step as well, because the party has not been very successful and was disbanded in 2009 [1], not long before its model. The party seat was in Ingolstadt [3].

The party flags and emblems were derived from those of the Christian Falangist Party of America, whose leader Pat Bridges claims to have designed them: his image gallery at Flickr shows several variants of a party emblem, which depict a modified eagle from German CoA charged upon its breast with the crutch-cross of CFPA, one of these images being explicitly described as designed by him [1, 2].

Among the flags displayed at the party website [3], the first was the national tricolor, charged with the large black crutch-cross with double fimbriation, inner in white and outer in black.

A variant shown next to that one differed in the addition of party name, inscribed in red Fraktur script in two rows, above and beneath the cross.

The third tricolor has had large initials CFPD, inscribed in white on red field; for this one, it is not quite clear if it was the flag or just a flag-like logo (a "flagoid"), for its image did not have the word fahne in its file name, unlike the two previous examples, but it certainly looked much more flag-like than the other images to which the same applied.

Another flag displayed at the party website [3] has had large red crutch-cross, fimbriated black, on gold field. Its image was also the link to the image of a similar flag, with black crutch-cross, fimbriated gold, on red field. That image, although not shown on the webpage, clearly represented another party flag, because its image, just as that of the previously described variant, did have the word fahne in its file name.

Other two flags displayed at the party website were derived from those of the Christian Falangist Party of America by changing the colors.

One of them, with black crutch-cross within a red ring, all on gold field, was derived from the 2003-2009 CFPA flag by adapting the color set to German national colors.

The other, with the schematic tree composed of alternating red and black segments, all on white field, was derived from an alternative CFPA flag which was used c. 2007-2009. This flag was the only one in the set which did not employ the color set of German national flag, possibly in an attempt to make the compromise between this and the flag of Kataeb (Lebanese Phalanx), from which the direct model flag was derived.
