Rotary in Munich, Germany

 

The first Rotary Club in Munich was founded in 1928 as the fourth Rotary Club in Germany, named Rotary Club München. The most famous member was Thomas Mann. It was only four years later, on 4 April 1933, that the celebrated author, now in exile in Switzerland, was removed from the list of members together with several Jewish and non-Jewish Rotarians who appeared politically unacceptable under Nazi rule.

 

Rotarian Dr Paul U. Unschuld, M.P.H., Professor and Director of the Institute for the History of Medicine, LMU Munich University, has published the full history of the Rotary Club at Munich, Chronik des Rotary Club München zum 75. Jubiläum seiner Gründung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der NS-Zeit. Mit Beiträgen von Benno Keim und Walther Meuschel. Cygnus Verlag, München 2003, ISBN 3926936118. The Perlentaucher, a German online magazin about books, has some information in German language on the Chronik des Rotary Club München.

All about the Rotary History you will find on Rotary History Fellowship.

 

It took another 74 years to establish the first international Rotary Club in Germany, the Rotary Club München-International - Rotary Club Munich International, founded in 2002. If you pass by Munich please join a meeting of our Munich Rotarians, as besides German at least one of the members speaks Afrikaans, Dutch, English, French, Greek, Hebrew, Icelandic, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swiss or Turkish.
