The German Clothing Workers' Union (German: Deutscher Bekleidungsarbeiter-Verband, DBAV) was a trade union representing people involved in making clothing in Germany.

It changed its name frequently until 1894, when it became the Union of Tailors, Dressmakers and Kindred Trades.

In 1907, the Union of Lingerie and Tie Workers in Germany merged in, and it renamed itself as the Union of Tailors and Dressmakers in Germany.

In 1924, it was joined by the German Furriers' Union, and by 1928, it had 77,884 members.

[1][2] After World War II, the Textile and Clothing Union was formed to represent clothing workers.
