Deutsche Unitarier Religionsgemeinschaft
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. By 1977, the group was led by former Nazis Herbert Böhme and Friedrich Ehrlicher. In 1989, an extremely rightist group led by Sigrid Hunke left and founded "Bund Deutscher Unitarier, Religionsgemeinschaft europäischen Geistes".
The current name, Deutsche Unitarier Religionsgemeinschaft, was adopted in 1950.
