About
Adelaide German Week is entering its fifth year in 2026!
From idea to reality...
​
In October 2021, a Committee was formed by the Runder Tisch der deutschen Sprache (SA) under the leadership of Reinhard Struve, a well-known German community leader, and the recently appointed Honorary Consul of the Federal Republic of Germany in SA, Matthew Williams. The committee brought together people from diverse science, education and business backgrounds, all sharing a passion for German-speaking cultures and the multicultural community of SA.
Within months, the vision of transferring the successful German Week concept from Brisbane to Adelaide with a range of uniquely South Australian events had begun to take shape. The inaugural Adelaide German Week in 2022 proudly cooperated with the established Brisbane German Week, and will now become a fixture on the South Australian events calendar.
​
Continuing to grow and become a popular fixture in the cultural calendar of Adelaide, in May 2026, the Adelaide German Week incorporated with Karin Andraschko-Schlosser as the Chairperson, ensuring it could continue promoting German language and culture for future generations.
