German Furriers' Union

The German Furriers' Union (German: Deutscher Kürschner-Verband) was a trade union representing fur workers in Germany.

Local unions of furriers in Germany were established from 1883, and in 1890, they met in Hamburg to form a national association.

This affiliated to the General Commission of German Trade Unions, and to the International Federation of Furriers, in which it soon became prominent.

It adopted the international federation's German-language journal, Der Kürschner, as its publication.

[2] By the end of 1923, membership was down to 7,000, half of whom were women.
