CATHOLIC CENTER (ZENTRUM)
The Catholic Center Party was the right-centrist foundation of the Weimar Republic. Ministers from this party served in all governments from 1919 to 1932, and its representatives became chancellors several times. The Center cooperated with all ideological camps, and thus was involved in both the creation and the dismantling of the republic.
