Welcome Friends of the CDU/CSU

Message from the Chairman

Our group, Friends of Christian Democratic Union (CDU/CSU) was formed in the 1990s to bring members and friends together to foster personal contacts, debate topics and exchange information.

Today, 3 decades later, the Friends of CDU still is an active network of conservative minded German, British and other nationals working or studying in the United Kingdom. We are pleased to say, that we have also attracted many younger people to become part of our CDU-adjacent Group.

That said, in 2023 the CDU formalised its foreign profile, and some of our members founded the foreign chapter of the CDU: the CDU UK. The CDU UK organises a monthly ‘Stammtisch’ along with other events and represents the CDU from London. The CDU UK is represented by its elected Chairman: Justus Becher.

Regardless of whether you are a party member, German, British or simply just interested in German/British/European relations and German politics, our door is always open.

Sincerely,

Juergen Schuhmacher
