German Sociological Association

The German Sociological Association (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Soziologie, DGS) is a professional organization that brings together sociologists and researchers interested in social issues in Germany. Founded in 1909, the DGS promotes the study of societal structures, behaviors, and relationships through conferences, publications, and networking opportunities. It aims to advance sociological research and its applications, foster collaboration among scholars, and contribute to public discussions on social topics. The association plays a crucial role in shaping sociological discourse in Germany and supporting the professional development of its members.
