- Abstract
For millions of children and young adults from the times of the Wilhelmine Empire up until presentday Germany, membership in a youth organizations was a formative experience. Youth organizations can therefore be seen as consistently influential agents of socialization. In their various manifestations, they made possible the coming together of about 20 percent (Imperial Period) to around 80 percent (under the Nazi and East German dictatorships, respectively) of all adolescents of their time. In this contribution, youth organizations are examined as intermediary systems that link disparate individuals and interests across other forms of social separation. This also applies to youth movements, which tend to integrate concrete organizational forms or transform into various organizations as the movement becomes more differentiated regarding e.g. its goals over time. Based on this perspective, the contribution provides a general outline and systematic assessments of the changing predominant relation between social requirements of control and adolescent aspirations to achieve partial or - much more rarely - complete self-determination.
