The Central Union of Bakers and Confectioners (German: Zentralverband der Bäcker, Konditoren und Verwandter Berufsgenossen Deutschlands) was a trade union that played a significant role in representing workers in bakeries and related trades in Germany.
The union published the Bäcker und Konditoren-Zeitung until 1922, when it was replaced by Einigkeit.
[1] During World War I, the union maintained close links with members who were serving in the armed forces, for example, polling them on its policy on night baking.
[1] After World War I, the union led a prominent campaign against night work, and it also promoted agreements on tariffs.
In 1918, it changed its name to the German Basic and Luxury Food Workers' Union (German: Deutscher Nahrungs- und Genußmittelarbeiter-Verband) and in Leipzig Josef Diermeir was elected.
