Federal Association of Liberal Students Groups (LHG)

The Federal Association of Liberal Students Groups (German: Bundesverband Liberaler Hochschulgruppen; short: LHG) is a student association in the Federal Republic of Germany supporting liberal political issues.

The LHG was founded in 1987 by a combination of some 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). Thus the LHG is 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.

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.

Consisting of currently over 80 member groups, LHG is the second largest German student association. Since its Frankfurt convention in January 2007, the federal chairman is Daniel George from Aachen.
