We are a German registered society founded in 1963 in Hanover, Germany. Founder was the honorary consul of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in Germany Kurt Uihlein, who still is honorary president of the society. We have about 300 paying members in all regions of Germany. We also have Regional Sections, such as Bavaria, Berlin and Lower Saxonia. We don’t have any employed staff; all activities are done on a honorary basis.
