The paper seeks to examine the development of the German party system that is affected by the rise of euroscepticm. Foreign and domestic recent political shocks - Brexit, far-right eurosceptic "earthquake", upsurge of the AfD - determine the research relevance. In this paper we primarily focus on the analysis of the AfD activities. We intend to examine whether this right shift is short-term or not. Or maybe it is evidence of the party system collapse? Key words: euroscepticism, Alternative für Deutschland, party system, Landtag, Bundestag
