Kurdische Gemeinde

The Kurdische Gemeinde Deutschland (KGD) is an umbrella organization of German-Kurdish associations that advocates for the interests and well-being of the Kurdish community in Germany. Founded with the aim of preserving and promoting Kurdish culture and language, the KGD operates on the basis of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany and explicitly commits to the liberal-democratic basic order.

The main mission of the KGD lies in the non-partisan and democratic representation of German Kurds. It promotes the preservation and deepening of Kurdish culture and language and advocates for the recognition of Kurdish identity, which is considered the foundation of a culture of welcome and recognition in a modern immigration country. The KGD is religiously neutral and non-partisan, which enables its work in a multi-religious and diverse society.

• Cultural and Language Promotion: The KGD offers language courses in Kurdish, such as the Soranî dialect, to preserve and promote the Kurdish language and culture[5].
• Integration Support: The organization supports Kurdish immigrants in their integration into German society through orientation aids and community integration offers[2][4].
• Political and Social Recognition: The KGD advocates for the social and political recognition of Kurdish identity and promotes cultural and political dialogue between different social groups[2][3].
• Humanitarian Aid: The KGD is engaged in humanitarian aid, especially for refugees from Kurdish areas, and collaborates with local and international partners to support traumatized individuals[4].

• Educational Justice: The KGD actively advocates for educational justice for children and young people to promote sustainable political and social participation[2].
• Gender Justice: A particular concern of the KGD is the respect for the rights and dignity of women in male-dominated societal contexts[2].
• Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief: The organization participates in humanitarian missions to address the needs of refugees and victims of conflicts and works closely with local and international institutions[4].

The KGD works as a binding partner for nationwide cooperation and integration projects and has been funded by the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) since 2017. It also maintains close relationships with German universities and international organizations to carry out joint projects and strengthen collaboration[3][4].

The KGD sees its role as a reliable observer and mediator of political developments in Kurdish areas and advocates for comprehensive and independent information for the public and relevant institutions. Through its commitment, the KGD contributes to promoting a diverse and equal society and shaping the future of the Kurdish community in Germany.
