German-Chilean Federation
The German-Chilean Federation (DCB) ( Spanish Liga Chileno-Alemana ) is a non-profit organization in Chile . The DCB was founded in 1916 and is based in Santiago de Chile . The purpose of the foundation was the "preservation, promotion and defense of the German people, its culture and its interests".
history
During the Second World War, with the help of the DCB, a ban on German education and German language teaching in German schools in Chile was prevented.
Since 1970, the DCB has been conducting a student exchange between Chile and Germany on behalf of the Directors' Conference of the German Schools in Chile.
In 1989 the DCB and the Sociedad Teuto-Chilena de Educación founded the German-Chilean publishing company "Ediciones Chileno-Alemanas Ltda.", Which is now the editor of the Cóndor newspaper , the third oldest newspaper in Chile.
President of the DCB has been the industrialist René Focke van der Spoel, former chairman of the German-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Industry (2010–2014) in Santiago de Chile , since 2014 . In 2017 the DCB had 418 personal and 12 institutional members.
