We are happy about your interest in Freemasonry and the ACGL.
As a fraternal organization, Freemasonry unites men of good character who, though of different religious, ethnic or social backgrounds, believe in the brotherhood of mankind under the fatherhood of God.
In the present time, in which a certain lack of perspective prevails, Freemasonry offers the path and goal which is aptly described thus:
“Freemasonry makes a good man better.”
In the tradition of enlightenment and humanism, we men of different religious, political, and ideological convictions want to make an attempt to make the world and the society in which we live a more humane and better one.
Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest Fraternity. Its bonds of friendship, compassion and brotherly love have survived even the most divisive political, military, and religious conflicts through the centuries. Freemasonry is neither a forum nor a place for worship. Instead, it is a friend of all religions which are based on the belief in one God.
Freemasons are respectable citizens who are taught to conform to the moral laws of society and to abide by the laws of the government under which they live. They are men of charity and good works.

Core Values of Freemasonry
Integrity
Rather than working on real buildings like the masons of old, today’s Freemasons focus on building themselves as people of integrity, and membership provides the structure to help achieve that goal.
Friendship
One of the oldest social organisations in the world, Freemasonry is not defined by an ideology. It is open to people from all religions and political persuasions and provides the common foundation for friendships between members, many of which will last for life.
Respect
With a membership of more than 15,300 people drawn from communities across Germany, Freemasonry brings people together irrespective of their race, religion or any other perceived differences that can divide us as a society.
Charity
Kindness and charitable giving are deeply ingrained within the principles of Freemasonry. The organisation provides a support structure that helps members make positive contributions to communities and worthwhile causes through fundraising events or volunteer work.
