The Christian Party of Austria (German: Christliche Partei Österreichs, CPÖ; formerly the ChristiansGerman: Die Christen) is a minor political party in Austria, founded on 15 October 2005.[2]

It changed its name under its new chairman Rudolf Gehring in late 2009, to avoid the use of the term "Christians" to mean only the party.[citation needed]
