The German Clothing Workers' Union (German : Deutscher Bekleidungsarbeiter-Verband, DBAV) was a trade union representing people involved in making clothing in Germany.

The union was founded in 1888 as the German Union of Tailors. It changed its name frequently until 1894, when it became the Union of Tailors, Dressmakers and Kindred Trades. In 1907, the Union of Lingerie and Tie Workers in Germany merged in, and it renamed itself as the Union of Tailors and Dressmakers in Germany. [1]

After World War I, the union was a founding constituent of the General German Trade Union Confederation. In 1924, it was joined by the German Furriers' Union, and by 1928, it had 77,884 members. In 1933, it was banned by the Nazi government. [1] [2] After World War II, the Textile and Clothing Union was formed to represent clothing workers. [3]
