So-named after the Tivoli Brewhouse in Berlin where it took place in 1892. The German Conservative Party here for the first time adopted anti-semitism as part of its political programme, opposed only by Werner von Blumenthal, who was shouted down.

From it stemmed the Tivoli Programme, a party manifesto whose first clause included the words "We fight against the often obtrusive and corrosive Jewish influence on our national life. We demand Christian authorities for the Christian people and Christian teachers for Christian students."
