Alsatian Progress Party

[1] Wolf had been the chairman of a party with the same name and similar goals in the years prior to World War I.

Institutionally, it demanded the return of the local autonomy of the region, as had been recognized by the German Constitution in 1911.

In April 1927 a party newspaper, Das Neue Elsass ('The New Alsace'), was launched after Wolf had received financial guarantees from it.

The Progress Party and Das Neue Elsass obtained a moderate degree of influence in Bas-Rhin.

Wolf left politics, supposedly for personal reasons, and went back to serve as a pastor of the EPCAAL.
