The HVD is a provider of humanist and non-religious ceremonies in many regions,[1] and maintains more than three dozen Kindergartens in Berlin, Nuremberg, Fürth, Regensburg, Hanover and Braunschweig. It runs a humanistic primary school in Fürth,[2] and a second school is set to open its doors in Munich soon. In Berlin, the HVD is responsible for the optional school subject Humanistische Lebenskunde, with about 54,000 participants in 2013. The HVD supports a youth organization Junge Humanistinnen & Humanisten in Deutschland (JuHu).
