It has changed its name several times and is now called “Deutscher Berufsverband für Pflegeberufe” (German Organisation of Nursing Professionals). It has a central office in Berlin and four regional offices. It was a founding member of the International Council of Nurses of which in 1909, Agnes Karll was elected president.[1]

It complains that commercial health providers do not keep to employer-union agreed pay rates.[2]
