Center Party (Zentrum)

The Center Party (Zentrum) is a political party in Germany historically representing Catholic interests and communities. Founded in the late 19th century, it aimed to protect religious, social, and cultural values important to Catholic citizens. Over time, it evolved into a centrist party advocating for social justice, family values, and coalition-building across various political groups. Although its influence has waned, it remains active in promoting religious tolerance, social cohesion, and policies that balance tradition with modern needs within Germany’s political landscape.
