§86a

The use of symbols of unconstitutional organisations is punishable under current FRG law. It is regulated in §86a of the German Criminal Code.

Examples for "unconstitutional" organisations are the National Socialist organisations like the NSDAP or the SS, but also post-WW2 parties which got banned by the federal constitutional court like the SRP or the KPD.

Also non-German organisations like the ISIS, PKK or the Hamas are affected by this law
In Germany, the applicable law is paragraph §86a of the criminal code (StGB)
