German Painters' Union

The Union of Painters, Decorators, Whitewashers, Plasterers, and House Painters of Germany (German: Verband der Maler, Lackierer, Anstreicher, Tüncher und Weissbinder Deutschlands) was a trade union representing painters in Germany.

The union was founded in 1885, bringing together various local unions. It grew slowly, reaching 22,651 members in 1904, and 42,000 in 1916. In 1919, it was a founding member of the General German Trade Union Confederation. By 1928, it had 58,775 members. In 1933, it was banned by the Nazi government.[1][2]
