The Seeheimer Kreis (German pronunciation:[ˈzeːˌhaɪ̯.mɐkʁaɪ̯s]ⓘ; English: "Seeheim Circle") is an official internal grouping in the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).[1] The group describes itself as "undogmatic and pragmatic" and generally takes moderately liberal economic positions[citation needed].
It was founded in September 1974.[1] One of the prominent founding members is Gesine Schwan,[1] a former SPD candidate for the German Presidency. As of 2022[update], the group's spokespeople are Marja-Liisa Völlers, Dirk Wiese, and Uwe Schmidt.[2] The Circle is named after its long-standing meeting place, Seeheim (Bergstraße), just south of Frankfurt.
