Our History
In 1949, the German-American Women’s Club of Wiesbaden was founded by 10 American women connected to the occupying military forces based in Wiesbaden. This followed several years of “non-fraternization” policies after the World War II and was seen as an important step in reviving broken relationships between the two nations.
The original goals of the club were: promoting cultural exchange, dismantling prejudices on both sides and deepening reciprocal relationships with respect for other peoples and cultures. And from the beginning, helping the less fortunate was a large part of the club life.
At the general meeting on the third Thursday of every month, there was a presentation on current topics. Excursions, visits to cultural events and private round table discussions were organized.
Although much has changed over the past seven decades (we now welcome women of all nationalities and we very seldom wear hats or pearls), the goal of the founding members is still our drive and mission!
