TheFederal Association of Liberal Students Groups (German: Bundesverband Liberaler Hochschulgruppen; short:LHG) is astudent association in theFederal Republic of Germany supporting liberal political issues.
The LHG was established in 1987, by a combination of 40 student groups, as a successor association of several liberal student associations, including the center-leftSocial Liberal Student Association (SLH), the Young Liberals Student Association (JuLi-Hochschulgruppen), and the Liberal Students' Initiative (LSI).[citation needed]
The LHG is considered the first comprehensive federal association of liberal students in Germany since the breakup of the Liberal Students' Alliance (LSD), once associated with theFDP in 1969.[citation needed]
The LHG is a full member of theEuropean Liberal Youth (LYMEC), which itself is tied to theEuropean Liberal Democrat and Reform Party in theEuropean Union.[1]
Consisting of currently 49 member groups, LHG is one of the largest German student association.[2] Since its January 2024 convention in Bonn, the federal chairman is Jan-Lukas Gescher.[3]
