Deutsche Unitarier Religionsgemeinschaft ("German Unitarian Religious Community") was founded in 1876 in Germany's Rheinhessen region under the name Religionsgemeinschaft Freier Protestanten ("Religious Community of Free Protestants").

In 1911 their newspaper took on the subtitle "Deutsch-Unitarische Blätter" ("German Unitarian Gazette") because leader Rudolf Walbaum wanted to connect to American Unitarians.

The current name, Deutsche Unitarier Religionsgemeinschaft, was adopted in 1950.

[edit] Theology

Most members lean towards scientific and philosophical humanism, but there is recognition of the merit of other faith traditions.

[edit] Organization

Congregations are lay-led. It is the only Unitarian group in Germany to belong to the ICUU.
