The '''Center Party''' was a major political party in Germany from the 1880s to 1933. It was organized when the Catholics were under attack by Chancellor [[Bismark]] during the [[Kulturkampf]]. A generally conservative party, it represented Catholics of all regions and income levels. It shared power in the 1920s but was disbanded in 1933 by the Nazis. Major elements, led by [[Konrad Adenauer]] helped build the new [[Christian Democratic Union]] in 1946.
