What Degrees Are Worked?

As a Lodge operating under the jurisdiction of the American Canadian Grand Lodge, all ritual work is conducted strictly according to ACGL ritual.
English and German Ritual Work
One of the unique characteristics of Spessart Lodge is its ability to work in both English and German. Communications and degree work are conducted entirely in one language or the other, while always remaining faithful to the authorized ritual of the American Canadian Grand Lodge (ACGL).
As the composition of the Lodge has evolved over the years, German-language work has become increasingly important and is expected to represent a growing share of future communications. This creates a distinctive Masonic environment where American ritual tradition and German Masonic culture come together in a truly unique way.
A Unique Masonic Experience
For more than six decades, Spessart Lodge has served as a meeting place for Brethren from both sides of the Atlantic. Today, it offers a unique opportunity to experience American Freemasonry in Germany while enjoying fellowship among brothers from diverse cultural and Masonic backgrounds.
We look forward to welcoming you to Spessart Lodge No. 875.
