  • To conduct any business which may be presented in due form to the Lodge.

An informal evening meal after the Degree Work is to be held, for which prior registration is required either through the Bro. Junior Warden, the Bro. Secretary, or the Contact Form on this site.

Due to the present local health restrictions, and under the guidance of the Grand Lodge, it is regretted that no visiting brethren can be admitted to this Work.

Interested in Freemasonry?

General News

The physical Lodge may well be closed at the moment, as we battle the pandemic raging across the world, but that does not mean we are not here. Our work in the Craft continues in private, as we continue to work on ourselves, and ensure that our fellow brethren, and the people around us, are cared for.

Likewise our work in speaking to potential Candidates, anyone who is genuinely interested in Freemasonry – whether in English, German or Turkish continues. While our Lodge works exclusively in the English language, there are also many others working close by, and throughout Germany, who employ other languages. We are more than happy to pass information on to other Lodges, and allow contact, as much as we are more than happy to entertain questions and pass on information about this Lodge.

So even i n these drastic times of lockdown and separation, we are only a mail away, and you can use our Contact form to get in touch, pose your questions, learn about the Craft and, eventually, come together with us for personal meetings and the possibility of joining us in our work.

March 20, 2020
General News

After careful consideration and consultation it has been agreed that the Stated Communication planned for North Sea Armed Forces Lodge #829 for Saturday, 4 April 2020, is cancelled.

It is expected that the restrictions presently in place within Bremen and the surrounding area will be increased over the coming days but, regardless of when such restrictions are promulgated, the health and welfare of our brethren, their friends and family, comes first.

At present there is no firm decision on the Third Monday in April, which will be scheduled but might be cancelled also, depending on our situation closer to the time.

All brethren are requested to remain in touch with one another, to remember our Principles and, if within the length of their cable tow, to help and assist those others around them in their time of need.
