This Wikipedia article records that around 120 Protestant church representatives met at Treysa, Hesse, from 27 to 31 August 1945 in the first weeks after the Second World War, founding the EKD as a federation of what were then twenty-eight regional churches, and that the federation adopted its lasting constitution at a further congress in Eisenach in July 1948.

A crowd sourced encyclopedia article used here for a straightforward founding chronology (the August 1945 Treysa conference, the 1948 Eisenach constitution), not for any contested claim, hence the lowest tier rather than exclusion.
