About Us

This Order is usually recognised as being the completion of a member's Freemasonry.

There are other orders to which a Brother may belong but to be "a Companion of the Royal Arch" is a requirement for basic membership of a number of them. However, many Companions go no further and find their Freemasonry is satisfying, rewarding and uplifting.

Although we are called "The Grand Chapter of British Royal Arch Masonry in Germany", in fact being a "British" is not a pre-requisite. We have members from Germany and a number of other countries including France, The Netherlands, Romania and Greece as well as from African countries and English-speaking countries around the world.

Perfect English is not necessary as long as the Companion can understand what is being said. Indeed, if you are a non-native speaker and can read this, your English is probably good enough.

Any Master Mason from any recognised Grand Lodge world-wide can join us.
