📣 Right to Freedom of Association and Protection of Labor Struggles (Art. 9 GG)
-
All Germans have the right to form associations and societies.
-
Everyone in Germany is entitled to establish an association or join one. Whether sports, music, political goals or climate action – as long as it’s lawful and for a common aim.
-
That means: If you and your friends wish to set up a football club or a band, you may do so. No one may prohibit it as long as you comply with the law.
-
-
Examples in everyday life:
-
- Pupils set up a school first-aid service as an association.
- A group of young people forms an animal protection association to help animals in their city.
- Adults cooperate to form a carnival club and organize festivals.
