In the twilight years of the Weimar republic the DKG still claimed to be ostensibly apolitical and nonpartisan. Konrad Adenauer, Vice President of the DKG since 1931, represented the principle of non-partisanship in the sense of a genuine and reconciling integration of those involved in the party struggles of the late Weimar Republic's divided youth:
"What we experience today in the extremist expressions of life of our youth (...), expressions of life that, in their radicalizing tendencies, threaten all values of individual morality and state order, are all essentially some impetuous urge to act and a need for validity, which and wandering aimlessly (...) because these young people lack real and dignified possibilities that satisfy their imaginations."
