The United Grand Lodges of Germany

A very warm welcome to the online representation of the United Grand Lodges of Germany – Brotherhood of Freemasons, VGLvD for short.

The unofficial motto for German Freemasonry would be “Unity in Diversity” because Freemasonry in Germany is, with its over 15.353 members, as broad and diverse as German society itself. We would hereby like to introduce us to you.

As the representative body of the five German Grand Lodges of Germany works as an umbrella organisation for the entirety of German Freemasonry.

Feel free to inform yourself about the structures of Freemasonry in Germany on this website, or, if you are interested in a membership, get in touch with one of our five associated Grand Lodges.

“Only if one himself realizes the hardship of improving one’s personality he is able to practice tolerance towards fellow humans."
