The German Center Party, (de: Deutsche Zentrumspartei), is a political party in Germany founded in 1870 as a representation of Catholic interests. It aims to safeguard the rights of Catholics in the face of secularization and anti-Catholic sentiments. Over time, the party expanded its agenda to include both social and economic issues. [WIP]
