Students from the [[University of Munich]] comprised the core of the White Rose: [[Hans Scholl]], [[Alexander Schmorell]], [[Willi Graf]], [[Christoph Probst]], and [[Kurt Huber]], a professor of philosophy and [[musicology]]. Hans's younger sister, [[Sophie Scholl|Sophie]] later came to be a core member of the White Rose.

Wilhelm Geyer taught [[Alexander Schmorell]] how to make the tin templates used in the graffiti campaign. [[Eugen Grimminger]] of [[Stuttgart]] funded their operations. Grimminger was arrested on 2 March 1943, sentenced to ten years in a penal institution for high treason by the "People's Court" on 19 April 1943, and imprisoned in [[Ludwigsburg]] penal institution until April 1945. His wife Jenny was murdered in the [[Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp]], presumably on 2 December 1943. Grimminger's secretary Tilly Hahn contributed her own funds to the cause, and acted as go-between for Grimminger and the group in Munich. She frequently carried supplies such as envelopes, paper, and an additional duplicating machine from Stuttgart to Munich.

In addition, a group of students in the city of [[Ulm]] distributed a number of the group's leaflets and were arrested and tried with the group from Munich. Among this group were Sophie Scholl's childhood friend [[Susanne Hirzel]] and her teenage brother {{Interlanguage link multi|Hans Hirzel|de|lt=Hans Hirzel}} and [[Franz Josef Müller]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.historyplace.com/pointsofview/white-rose4.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130804023039/http://www.historyplace.com/pointsofview/white-rose4.htm|title=The History Place – Points of View: Memories of The White Rose – Part Four|archivedate=4 August 2013|website=www.historyplace.com}}</ref> In [[Hamburg]], a group of students including {{ill|Reinhold Meyer|de}}, {{ill|Albert Suhr|de}}, {{Interlanguage link|Heinz Kucharski|de}}, {{ill|Margaretha Rothe|de}}, {{ill|Bruno Himpkamp|de}}, {{ill|Rudolf Degkwitz (junior)|de}}, {{ill|Ursula de Boor|de}}, {{Interlanguage link|Hannelore Willbrandt|de}}, {{ill|Karl Ludwig Schneider|de}}, Ilse Ledien, Eva von Dumreicher, Dorothea Zill, Apelles Sobeczko, and {{ill|Maria Liepelt|de}} formed the [[White Rose Hamburg]] resistance group against the National Socialist regime and distributed the group's leaflets.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Streiflichter aus dem Hamburger Widerstand. 1933–1945.|last1=Hochmuth|first1=Ursel|last2=Meyer|first2=Gertrud|date=1969|publisher=Röderberg-Verlag|location=Frankfurt|isbn=3-87682-036-7|language=de}}</ref>
