Science Fiction Club Deutschland
The Science Fiction Club Deutschland (SFCD), was established on August 1, 1955, in Frankfurt, Germany. Its founders included Walter Ernsting, Trude Ernsting and Walter Spiegl (Germany), Julian Parr (England), and as a guest, Raymond Z. Gallun (USA). It was funded by a grant from the Alden Lorraine Ackerman Fund. Its clubzine was Andromeda.
By 1958, it had changed its name to Science Fiction Club Europa (SFCE). Later, the club reverted to the older name. They ran BARCON.
It appears to have run a convention titled "1. grosse Europakonvent" on August 22–23 in Hotel Weisser Wind in Zurich, but it is unclear what year.
