German Club 1954
The German Club 1954 was a neutralist political group in the Federal Republic , which merged with the German Peace Union after 1960 .
The German Club was founded in 1954 by Karl Graf von Westphalen and other people from the political spectrum of the CDU , who turned against Adenauer's policy of ties to the West . In 1955 and 1956 there were contacts between the State Security and Westphalia and the German Club in 1954. Together with the Federation of Germans and the Association of Independent Socialists , the German Club went into the newly founded German Peace Union from 1960. Politically, the aim was to reach an understanding between the two blocs and to reject the Federal Republic's ties to the West. The papers for German and international politics were founded in 1956 from the environment of the German Club .
According to GND, the group had its headquarters in Cologne; there was also the seat of the first two publishers of the papers for German and international politics .
