The first Alzheimer societies emerged in the 1980s: in various places in Germany, relatives of people with dementia, accompanied by professional helpers, formed self-help groups to support each other and improve the situation for those affected. On 2 December 1989, the Deutsche Alzheimer Gesellschaft e.V. was founded as an umbrella organization by committed representatives of the first relatives' groups in Bad Boll. Today, more than 130 Alzheimer societies organized at state and regional level belong to the DAlzG. The DAlzG is the federal association of around 130 Alzheimer societies and has existed since 1989. It is a member of the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft Selbsthilfe e.V., the Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Senioren-Organisationen e.V., and the international umbrella organizations Alzheimer Europe and Alzheimer's Disease International.
