1 - We about us
1.10 - German-American Society Muenster e.V.
2 - Our aims and intentions
2.1 - We are convinced that political and economic connections between Germany and America should be based on a spirit of partnership and friendship. To that end, we believe in strong interaction. Whether exchanging views on lifestyle, culture, science, politics, economics and so forth, or just doing things together for enjoyment, the process of understanding and acceptance between the two nations is furthered. Throughout the year, the Society offers a number of different activities and trips for members as well as guests. We invite you to join us!

9.1 - Every year on the fourth Thursday in November we celebrate Thanksgiving American style. We hold our Thanksgiving party in a former barn. The opulent buffet offers enormous smoked turkeys, wonderful salads, many American dishes and yummy desserts prepared by members and guests. And naturally after such a terrific dinner, we work it all off with square dancing. Professional square-dance teachers quickly show us the right steps for a variety of dances and when necessary untangle our arms and legs. We have a blast! After the square-dance workout we usually have a tricky quiz with questions about American and German history, geography and culture. The winning teams are awarded prizes.
