Umut Lodge #1055 (formerly Benjamin Franklin Lodge) is, at present, reconstructing itself in a new form..

****************************

Welcome to Umut Lodge #1055, which works under the jurisdiction of the American Canadian Grand Lodge and within the United Grand Lodges of Germany.

Within these pages you will find information about the Lodge, our aims, our history and Freemasonry in general, both in Germany and throughout the world.

Umut Lodge is a Turkish-language Lodge which meets once a month, on the first Friday except during the summer vacation, at Welckerstraße 8 in 20354 Hamburg. Whilst Turkish is the working language of the Lodge and it is constituted under the American Canadian Grand Lodge, the members come from many different areas and cultures, and encompass a wide range of life-styles, beliefs and experience in all age groups. Meetings are announced on the Announcements page, and the Worshipful Master of the Lodge is always pleased to welcome Masonic visitors.

For men of Good Standing who are considering entering the Fraternity, Umut Lodge offers a wide and interesting variety of events where, as a guest, questions may be posed, information gained, and Masonry, among other subjects, openly discussed. As this is a Turkish-speaking Lodge, a good understanding of the Turkish language is a prerequisite for membership. Initial contact may be gained through the Contact Page.
