On this page you will find further information about our Grand Lodge but also about other important national lodges. A Masonic "Grand Lodge" (or sometimes "Grand Orient") is the governing body that supervises and governs the individual "Lodges" of Freemasons in any particular geographical area or "jurisdiction", (usually corresponding to a national boundary or other major political unit). 

Some are large, with thousands of members divided into hundreds of subordinate Lodges. The five German Grand Lodges including the Grand Lodge of British Freemasonry in Germany are a confederation represented by The United Grand Lodges of Germany. 

Members wishing to visit a Lodge under any of the recognised Grand Lodges listed (see annual year book UGLG) should get in touch with their Secretary to contact responsible Grand Lodge office for specific advice and follow the regular Masonic Protocol. Members may also wish to note that if a Grand Lodge is recognised, its Lodges may not be visited.
