Good reasons to become a member of the Volksbund

  • to preserve and maintain around 2.8 million German war graves - so that the reminder of peace and reconciliation remains clearly visible.
  • to search for war graves in Eastern Europe and clarify fates.
  • to keep alive the memory and remembrance of the victims of war and violence then and now - so that we do not forget how precious peace is.
  • to fulfil a humanitarian obligation on behalf of the German government - because an association of people who are particularly interested in peace and reconciliation can perform this task better than an anonymous state organisation.
  • to promote national and international youth encounters - so that understanding and friendship grow and the mistakes of the past are not repeated.
  • Mailing of our magazine ‘Frieden’ (German language).
  • Discounts for participation in our workcamps

Questions & answers

Members testify with their signature that they value the aims of the Volksbund so much that they are worth more to them than just occasional donations. With their signature, they take an active part in the further development of the organisation and can participate directly in this - by means of the possibilities guaranteed in the statutes. The financial viability of our projects is easier to calculate if we can count on fixed and reliable amounts such as membership fees. Our members also give us greater political weight. A large number of members ensures that we get more attention in the public eye. That is why recruiting new members is so important!

In order to make membership possible for everyone, the membership fee is freely selectable, but should not be less than 12 euros per year.

As a member, you can of course support the Volksbund with a higher amount at any time. With every euro, you support our work for peace, which is more important today than ever.

If a related person cannot or does not wish to continue his/her membership with the Volksbund, you have the option of taking over his/her membership and continuing it. Simply fill in our membership transfer form and send it back to us by post, fax or e-mail.
