Didn't have a genuine successful revolution. Was pounded into submission by soviet artillery and troops and the ruins of it taken by force by the USSR in the course of the war and occupied after with the socialist government installed, reactionaries pushed aside by outside occupation forces. As we saw Germany itself went fascist rather than communist and they crushed the organic efforts of German revolutionaries.
TBH, pre-1933 support for communists in Protestant areas was significantly higher than in Catholic areas.
If Germany had been Balkanized after WWI the North and East were more commie than the rest. May have actually seen revolution in a subset. Of course the conditions of Balkanization would make a big difference, though.
The North + East are and were the more protestant areas while the South and Austria were more catholic. The latter were hotbeds of Nazis. Famously, the Hofbraeuhaus in Munich is where much of The Holocaust was decided.
