Specifically the German constitution. Or as also worded in the law "the free democratic basic order of the FRG" -"die freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung der BRD".
What this phrase means specifically is defined by decisions of the federal constitutional court and includes things like basic human rights, checks and balances, the independence of courts, the multi party system etc.
Disrupting or trying to abolish those basic democratic laws is considered as trying to build a dictatorship or other form of unjust system.
I don't know the specifics about the KPD case but there are German communist parties, for example the DKP. It's just that the KPD is considered undemocratic.
