 The General German Cigar Workers Society ("Allgemeiner Deutsche Cigarrenarbeiter-Verein"), established in Leipzig in 1865, was the first centrally organized union in Germany.This union became the model for many newly founded unions and is a predecessor for the Union (of) Nutrition-Enjoyment-Restaurants ("Gewerkschaft Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten").In 1867, the Society of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Lokomotivführer (VDL)) was established.
