Since its foundation in 1995, the German Club Seoul has become a lively
and fixed institution for Germans and German-speaking people who live in
Korea. It offers the possibility, with mutual activities, to share
experiences with friends and to discover new impressions as well as
participating in interesting events with cultural and social themes.
An especially important role plays the club for people who just arrived.
The club offers valuable help to all questions and problems which might
arise. Because everybody in the club knows the situation how it is to
start a new life in a new and different culture.
Today the German Club Seoul counts over 140 members. These are usually
family memberships and therefore the actual member count is more than
double as high. More and more Germans and German-speaking people are
coming - mostly because of business reasons - to Seoul. In most cases
only for a limited time. That means that one has quite frequently to say
good-bye to loved friends. Very often this develops friendships, which
last many years, even after a return to Germany or another country.
Everybody experiences the change, which comes with a move to a new
country and a different culture and language in a different way. One
adjusts to the new environment faster than the other. But it always is a
big advantage, when one can share these experiences in his mother
tongue. That helps very often to overcome difficulties and cope with
eventual homesickness.
All people who are able to speak German are most welcome to join us.
