In the venerable files of Freemasonry it is stated that every free man of good reputation shall be able to become a Freemason. Today we put such expressions in a modern context: Freemasonry aims to reach men, regardless their age or profession, who want to be part of an unreserved community that concerns itself with moralistic-philosophical issues and with the improvement of character.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you are interested in a membership: Almost all of our 500 lodges in Germany have an online presence with their contact information and are looking forward to getting in touch with you.<\/p>

As an umbrella organisation, the VGLvD are not the right contact partner for someone looking for a membership with German Freemasonry. To make sure that the lodge you want to participate in is a recognized, regular lodge, you may directly contact on of the five Grand Lodges of the VGLvD and ask for a contact person at a lodge close to your home.\u200b<\/p>

You will then be invited to open events and guest nights. Depending on the habits of the lodge you may aim to partake in, steps in the direction of a permanent membership will be taken from there.<\/p>

Request the Grand Lodges for membership details.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
