Fostering an open and active German-American community
There's always something happening in the context of our statewide efforts to welcome American families to their new home away from home:
- German-American celebrations,
- Recurring informal get-togethers,
- Distribution of welcome bags to new American families,
- Local cooking classes for Americans,
- City tours in English,
- and much more.
Take a look at the next events in this program and feel free to be a part of them!
Furthermore, our communities participating in this state program are making big efforts to support you as you settle in the local area by providing information in English about upcoming local events. This is meant to make it easier for you to know what's happening close to you and help you participate in community life. After all, your community strives for an open and active German-American relationship and wants to let you know that you're more than welcome to prosper as member of the community. Check out their next activities and join in!
Next program events
German-American Students Art Exhibit - 04/25: 4.30 p.m.
The state program “Welcome to Rheinland-Pfalz!”, the German-American Community Office, the city of Kaiserslautern, and the KMC School Liaison Program are proudly hosting the opening of this year’s German-American Students Art Exhibit in the foyer of the City Hall Kaiserslautern (Willy-Brandt-Platz 1, 67659 Kaiserslautern). The U.S. Air Forces in Europe Band will perform on this occasion and will provide superb musical accompaniment!
Young American students from the Department of Defense Education Activity Schools in the Kaiserslautern Military Community as well as German and international students from local schools in Kaiserslautern will display their creative artwork in the City Hall in Kaiserslautern from April 25, until May 8. The goal is to display the great talent of the students in our German-American community, to show appreciation for their creativity and hard work, and to bring our communities closer together.
Admission is free, no registration is required.
German-American Comedy Night - 05/18: 9 p.m.
Join us for a hilarious rollercoaster ride through the absurdity of everyday life in Germany, where even the mundane becomes comedic gold and punchlines hit harder than Monday morning coffee!
In this comedy show, German comedian Manuel Wolff will explore and unpack German stereotypes with disarming self-irony. His spontaneous, unpredictable, yet precisely timed style is unique while he is bursting with ideas and sharp observations quickly switching between sarcasm, silliness, and profound thoughts. For spontaneous musical interludes, Manuel always has his mini-piano with him.
American expat Erin Crouch does comedy from the perspective of someone who was born and raised stateside, but has lived in Germany for quite some time now. Erin's comedy is neither dirty nor clean but a secret third thing. Her new show, Doing it the Hard Way, let's audiences gawk at what happens when someone takes the road not only less traveled, but actually closed for repairs.
