Preserving German Culture for Decades
Welcome to the Alemannia German Society of Charlotte! Founded in 1971, the Alemannia Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting German, Austrian, and Swiss language and culture throughout the Greater Charlotte region.
Charlotte is home to over 300 German-speaking companies and nearly 10,000 German-speaking residents. Whether you are an expat looking for a taste of home, a student learning the language, or simply interested in rich cultural traditions—our doors are open to everyone.
Discover Rich Traditions
Dedicated to preserving and sharing German culture in Charlotte, North Carolina for over fifty years through community education, the German School of Charlotte, local partnerships, and vibrant public events.
50+ Years in the Queen City
In 1971, a small group of German expats and local Charlotteans came together to establish a cultural bridge in North Carolina. Over the past five decades, as Charlotte grew into a major international hub—welcoming leaders like Wachovia, NCNB, and hundreds of European enterprises—the Alemannia Society grew right alongside it. Today, we celebrate over 50 years of fellowship, heritage, and community service.
Our History
The Alemannia German Society of Charlotte was established in 1975, when Charlotte was a very different city from the thriving, internationally connected community we know today.
