====== Junge Liberale (Germany) ====== ===== Logo ===== {{:public:mos:julis:julis-logo.png?200|}} ===== Introduction ===== The Junge Liberale (//JuLis//) are the officially recognised, yet organisationally and financially independent, youth wing of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Germany. They were founded at the first federal congress in Bonn-Bad Godesberg on 1 November 1980 and today have around 15,500 members aged 14-34 across all sixteen federal states. ===== Organisation ===== The JuLis are a federal association (//Bundesverband//) registered as an e. V. in Berlin. * Bundeskongress - highest decision-making body, meets twice a year. * Bundesvorstand - eleven-member national board elected annually; includes a dedicated International Officer. * Landes-, Bezirks-, Kreis- and Ortsverbände mirror Germany’s administrative layers and enjoy considerable autonomy. * Membership is automatic until the end of the calendar year in which a member turns 35; state branches set the monthly fee (typically €2-5). ===== International work ===== JuLis are full members of IFLRY and LYMEC. They regularly send large delegations to IFLRY General Assemblies, LYMEC congresses and ALDE Party events. ===== List of Federal Chairs ===== | 2021–Present | Franziska Brandmann | | 2020–2021 | Jens Teutrine | | 2018–2020 | Ria Schröder | | 2014–2018 | Konstantin Kuhle | | 2013–2014 | Alexander Hahn | | 2011–2013 | Lasse Becker | | 2005–2010 | Johannes Vogel | | 2004–2005 | Jan Dittrich | | 1999–2004 | Daniel Bahr | | 1995–1999 | Michael Kauch | | 1993–1995 | Ralph Lange | | 1990–1993 | Birgit Homburger | | 1989–1990 | Hermann Brem | | 1988–1989 | Georg Neubauer | | 1983–1988 | Guido Westerwelle | | 1980–1983 | Hans-Joachim Otto |
