The '''Kreisau Circle''' (German: ''Kreisauer Kreis'') was a [[Germany|German]] anti-[[Nazi]] resistance group, founded in 1940 by Count Helmuth James Graf von Moltke (11 March 1907 – 23 January 1945) on his estate at Kreisau. The Circle drafted a [[Christian]]-[[conservative]] [[politics|political]] program for post-[[war]] Germany.
Von Moltke was arrested in January 1944 after which most of his colleagues attached themselves to [[Claus von Stauffenberg|Colonel Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg]]'s group which tried, unsuccessfully, to kill [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] in July 1944.
