Grand Landlodge of the Freemasons of Germany Berlin

Stamp: "Gr. L. Loge d. Fr. M. V. Deutschl. *Berlin* Bibliothek"

Since 2018, 65 books from the library of the Grand Landlodge of the Freemasons of Germany were returned.

Many of the restituted volumes were identified in unprocessed stock of the Berlin City library (Berliner Stadtbibliothek, BStB), others were assigned this shortly after the war by the Bergungsstelle. Specifically, books from salvaging operations 15 (Depot of the Reich Main Security Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt, RSHA) in Eisenacher Str. 11-13) and 101 (Volksbildungsamt Schöneberg) were found.

The Grand Landlodge of the Freemasons of Germany (Grosse Landesloge der Freimaurer von Deutschland, GLL) was forced to dissolve in National Socialist Germany, like all German Masonic lodges. In the case of GLL this happened in 1935.

The "House of the Order" from 1900 on was located at Eisenacher Str. 11-13 in Berlin. The building was expropriated in 1935 and used by the SS no later than 1938 for the storage, sorting and cataloging of looted books from all over Europe.
