FactGrid:Deutsche Union
Sources
We do not have an authorised and official membership register of the Deutsche Union, but basically two lists published in order to expose the organisations; they come with a substantial overlap of entries. The first was published by Johann Joachim Christoph Bode in 1789:
The more intriguing second list was published ten years later by Degenhard Pott and added complexity:
Pott differentiates between "proposed members" and candidates who seem to have become full members and he give additional information on positions filled in the organisations. Collecting all the information will allow to go one step further: Pott states the proposals with those who proposed and he states the oaths sworn with the recipients. Both statements will shed light on the hierarchy and the ambition driving the organisation.
