Querfront (German: [ˈkʋeːɐˌfʁɔnt] ⓘ – lit. 'cross-front') is a German term originating from Weimar politics which refers to the cooperation between the far-right and far-left, or between nationalist and socialist ideologies, as well as the combination of their positions.[1] It is primarily understood as a populist strategy to unite forces in an effort to gain power. The term was first and most prominently used in the Weimar Republic, where it referred to the cooperation between conservative revolutionaries and the far-left.
The term sees adoption as a descriptor, or outright stated strategy, in modern-day Germany. Some have however criticized the modern usage as inaccurate from a historical perspective.[1][2]
