About Us

The non-profit Civility gUG (limited liability) was founded in Berlin in July 2022. It focuses on civility-theory-inspired analysis and communication and seeks to continually develop civility theory—a wholly new model of continuous, systematic theory-building with practical applications. In this endeavor, the organization has already become a think tank for civility discussions and civility-theoretical analysis.


Led by political scientist Prof. Dr. Volker von Prittwitz (Managing Director), the organization employs research staff within the limits of its available resources. We welcome communication and cooperation in support of our organizational goals. To this end, we make texts on civility theory and current analyses freely available on our website (https://www.civility.berlin) and organize events. You can contact us at any time by email (info@civility.berlin) or via our contact form (Contact).
