Fruitbearing Society
The Fruitbearing society (Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft) is a German literary societry founded in 1617 in Weimar by German scholars and nobility to emulate the idea of the "Accademia della crusca" in Florence and other similar groups already thriving in Italy, France, and Britain. Its main purpose was to standardize German as a vernacular language and see to its propagation as both a scholarly and literary language.
