The Union of Coppersmiths of Germany (German : Verband der Kupferschmiede Deutschlands) was a trade union representing coppersmiths in Germany.

The union was established on 1 July 1886, by 760 workers. In 1919, it was a founding affiliate of the General German Trade Union Confederation. It spread across Germany and Danzig, and by the start of the 1930s, it had 98 districts, grouped in 9 regions. However, it remained small, with 7,024 members in 1928. Leaders of the union were Julius Saupe, Max Hecht, and then Otto Jahrmarkt. Internationally, it was part of the International Metalworkers' Federation. [1]

In 1933, the union was banned by the Nazis. After World War II, coppersmiths were represented by the IG Metall union.
