Bundesverband der Kleingartenvereine Deutschlands

Urban Farm DB summary

The article on the history and scale of Germany's national allotment federation. Founded on 21 August 1921 as the Reich federation of German allotment associations, it later became the Bundesverband Deutscher Gartenfreunde and took its present name on 9 September 2023. It now covers more than 13,000 clubs and 20 state bodies, some 900,000 plots on 44,000 hectares used by around five million people — an area equal to 0.25 per cent of Germany's agricultural land. The article also carries the historical figures for 1938: one million members on 45,000 hectares, producing 350 million kg of fruit and 300 million kg of vegetables.
