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-left Social 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 the FDP in 1969.[citation needed]
The LHG is a full member of the European Liberal Youth (LYMEC), which itself is tied to the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party in the European 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]
