The Union of Bookbinders and Paper Workers of Germany ( German: Verband der Buchbinder and Papierverarbeiter Deutschlands) was a trade union representing workers involved in manufacturing paper and binding books in Germany.
A loose national association of bookbinders was formed in 1882 by various local unions, and they formally merged into a single union at a conference in Offenbach am Main on 4 April 1885. It adopted as its journal the Buchbinder-Zeitung, which had been published since 1880, and in 1904 established a head office in Berlin. [1]
The union played a leading role in establishing the International Federation of Bookbinders and Kindred Trades. [2] In 1919, it became a founding affiliate of the General German Trade Union Confederation. Within the federation, it was part of the Graphic Block. [1] By 1928, the union had 55,128 members. [3] It was banned by the Nazi government in 1933. After World War II, bookbinders and paper workers were represented as part of the Printing and Paper Union. [4]
