The party was founded by Norbert Burger, former chairman of the Ring Freiheitlicher Studenten, the student wing of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ). Burger remained the key figure in the NDP until its dissolution. Further members included Herbert Fritz, and a number of "South Tyrol activists" (Befreiungsausschuss Südtirol). The Austrian NDP was based on the German sister party, the National Democratic Party of Germany. Its first chairman was student Rudolf Watschinger.
The party ran in the 1970 legislative election, receiving 2,631 (0.1%) of the votes cast. It advocated the Anschluss of Austria into Germany and the re-introduction of the death penalty. It also agitated against "superalienation" and "infiltration" by foreign workers ( Gastarbeiter ). Burger ran in the 1980 presidential election "for a German Austria", gaining 140,741 votes (3.2%). Two years later he and Gerd Honsik initiated a petition for a referendum "against superalienation", which however was not achieved.
