Establishment and first years (1945-1949)

After that young members of the Christian democratic groupings developed decentralized based as agency that the JU. Were at the beginning of above all former war participants, who together-found themselves in university towns to working groups. At the first Germany meeting of 17. to 21. in the Federal association was created. The JU aimed at like the nut/mother parties, both Denominations to combine within a political organization. Although with their second Germany meeting in also representatives out , placed the JU participated in that their work due to substantial pursuit and Gaengelung of their members. As consequence of the using cold war the JU remained one up limited Youth organization. In March 1950 gave itself the JU with " resolutions "the first common program. In it it took among other things to purchase to that as basis for the renewal of the mental and cultural life and those demanded Reunification within its historical borders. In addition it endorsed the introduction of the Personality right to vote. In the European politics the JU spoke itself already early for a union of the European out. It represented this demand among other things since at several meetings of the youth section that Nouvelles Équipes international (NEI). On the establishment Party Congress of the federationCDU in this recognized the JU in its statute as independent agency of the youth within that on. In the following year the JU gave itself its first own statute.

The JU in the era Adenauer and "the spirit of Hamm" (1949-1982)

During that and the JU demanded years again and again a reform of the party machinery that CDU and and a to a large extent state-carrying party youth. There were not larger conflicts with the nut/mother parties.

This changed, after due to the federalpolitical change of power CDU and into those were referred. On the Germany day 1969 in it came to a substantial innerverbandlichen criticism at the past course. Starting from this time also its numbers of members rose themselves continuously, there above all young person, those that 68erMovement to work against wanted, the JU attached.

Those years became on different levels an reform-oriented decade for the JU. It renewed itself by program, which itself in adopted, new basic policy statement "for an human and the open as future-oriented social policy as well as those for that .

After the JU itself into the late years against it had expressed and still the requirement raised, also for in that GDR if youth suppressed to speak, it opened for contacts also Youth organizations like that FDJ. the JU Federal leader at that time struck Matthias Wissmann even the creation of German-German juvenilia forwards, which should serve the youth exchange.

In the debate around those East politics the JU took however to beginning that years a varying position. Thus became calm resolution, those too , two years later as far as possible again taken back. With the verabschiedung of an environmental protection basic policy statement the JU tried to form itself also in this politics field.

Also structurally it gave to that years important reforms. The JU oriented itself away from a bare regenerating and to a genuine Youth organization of CDU and . After for example before the membership between that 16. and 40. Lebensjahr was possible, decided the Germany day of the JU the age under and upper limit to 14 and/or 35 years. Individual regional organizations had this already end that years done. Became a little later to 2. June country widely those Pupil union (CSU) based, over in a later cooperation in the JU. To read off the strong change, which the JU experienced within this decade, leaves itself also at the strongly rising numbers of members, itself up to the end the that years doubled.

The JU in the era Kohl (1982-1998)

Those years were coined/shaped at the beginning by the debate around that . This endorsed the JU and led in many places special debates with young people. In addition, the topic Ecology was further, also within the JU, above on the agenda. Thus stood on the Germany day the compatibility of Ecology and Economics in the center of the discussion. With the reactor disaster of within the JU a debate over reactor safety was released. In the same year that had Building of the Wall its 25. Anniversary. a state visit found in that instead of. The JU used both events, around the injury that in that GDR to condemn and the outline that Wall to demand.

The previous evening of the Wall case was based with that Christian democratic youth (CDJ) again a free Christian democratic oriented group of young humans in that GDR. Already before that Reunification the two German states closed the CDJ on the Germany day in the JU on.

Reform-oriented reorientation after the era Kohl (1998-heute)

After the lost Election to the Bundestag 1998 became Hildegard Mueller Successor of Klaus E as a Federal leader, you followed 2002 . Measurement fields continued of his two predecessors course begun of the reform-oriented and free market reorientation of the youth organization.

a health-political debate activated measurement fields, when it suggested, for the improvement of the financial basis of the individual achievements for older humans purposefully. For example artificial hip joints, so measurement fields, could be financed for humans over 85 years in the future no more from the general health insurance. This expression provided in particular with seniors for indignation, but led also in the own party to controversies. The expressions led to a broad discussion across a futurable financing of the health system.

The Federal Administration officiating at present became on the Germany day in to selected. Measurement fields one red-elect after two-year term of office. It could gain with a result of 85,91% about 5% in relation to its last choice.

The federation leans a political co-operation also Extremist from right just like from left. The chairman of the circle federation had to withdraw, because it because of its "Taetervolk" speech from the CDU the excluded Martin high man had invited. The invitation was afterwards taken back. Left youth federations accused the JU in the connection of this and to other cases a demarcation lacking to the right-wing extremism.
