- For the earlier Strasserite group see German Social Union (West Germany)
German Social Union (German: Deutsche Soziale Union) is an East German conservative opposition group. It was founded in Leipzig on 20 January, 1990. It was modelled on the Christian Social Union of Bavaria. The Leipzig pastor Hans-Wilhelm Ebeling was the chairman of the party and its most prominent member was Peter Michael Diestel. On 5 February 1990 it joined the Alliance for Germany, together with the (leading) Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Democratic Departure (DA, not in existence anymore). Today, the DSU is no longer a subsidiary of the main German conservative party CDU. The party is now national-conservative, and so cooperates with The Republicans (REP).
