      Varios intentos —en 2003, 2016 y 2021— de prohibir al ultraderechista Partido Nacional Democrático de Alemania (NPD) fracasaron. Aunque en 2017 el tribunal reconoció abiertamente que el partido era inconstitucional, concluyó que no representaba una amenaza significativa para el orden constitucional.
