It represents the interests of geographers who work in schools, higher education and in professional practice. The DGfG is committed to communicating in public the content and importance of geography as a school subject, as a science and as a practical discipline. It coordinates the areas of work represented in the geographical professional associations and communicates joint objectives externally. The DGfG has more than 30 workgroups which make an important contribution to research and to continued development of theory and methods within geography.

Applied geography concerns itself with topics such as urban development, the real estate industry and economic development. As in other branches of research, these subject areas also experience changes and developments. The German Association for Applied Geography (Deutscher Verband für Angewandte Geographie) provides a platform for exchanging knowledge in these fields, for making contacts and for holding discussions.
