The '''Seeheimer Kreis (Seeheim Circle)''' is a major, economically somewhat more right-leaning faction within the SPD. Its origins can be traced back to the "canal workers", a relatively loose, informal, yet also influental group of SPD delegates that came into existence during the early 50s. Starting in the 60s, the group would start to hold its first annual formal meetings, a tradition that still lasts to this day. In the meantime, the group would become known as the "Seeheimer Kreis" for the first time in its history, and also grow more cohesive. Its namesake lies in a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seeheim-Jugenheim|small town in southwestern Germany], which was where the canal workers held most of their aforementioned meetings.
Members of the Seeheimer Kreis are known to pride themselves on their pragmatism and "anti-dogmatism". Some observers also refer to the party as the SPD's right-wing or conservative wing. Furthermore, they were also one of the most ardent supporters of [[File:Schröder.png]] Gerhard Schröder's welfare reforms. While they supported raising the minimum wage to 12 euros per hour, they also hold some economically right-leaning stances, such as aiming to reduce national debt before fleshing out the social security system.
