A nod to St David’s Day! We’re celebrating one of the first true signs that spring has sprung: the daffodil. In true German style, daffodil becomes a wonderfully descriptive compound noun - Osterglocke. Literally ‘Easter’ and ‘bell’. It captures both the flower’s shape and the season it ‘rings’ in!

This week’s #WordyWednesday is embracing the wintry feel... Have you heard of “Schnee von Gestern”? It’s a great way to say that something is old news. It can even be used in a way that matches the English saying ‘water under the bridge’, depending on the context of conversation! #ShoutOutForGerman

Where could YOUR German take YOU? Here's a short video to share some ideas during German Week 2026! ❤️ #ShoutOutForGerman @goethe-institut-uk.bsky.social @britgerassoc.bsky.social @germancgedinburgh.bsky.social

Coventry and Dresden have been twinned since 1959, having promoted reconciliation and understanding between people. German President Steinmeier and Elke Büdenbender met with school children from the Coventry-Dresden exchange, military personnel, veterans and local mayors.

With a speech evoking Oasis and Heinrich Heine, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier addressed members of both Houses of Parliament at the Palace of Westminster today, the first German head of state to do so since 1986.

Elke Büdenbender, President Steinmeier’s wife, visited Judith Kerr Primary School in South London, where she listened to the school choir and enjoyed tea with pupils. The school has a strong focus on language teaching and was the first English-German bilingual state primary school in the UK.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender have landed in the UK and were welcomed by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince & Princess of Wales. An historic State Visit has begun - the highlight of what has been a truly special year in 🇩🇪🇬🇧 relations.

German President Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender were received by HM The King and HM The Queen in Windsor today at the start of the three-day State Visit. It is the first official state visit by a German President to the United Kingdom in 27 years.

We were honoured to welcome German Ambassador to the UK, Susanne Baumann, to the Goethe-Institut London! Our director Nicolas Ehler and deputy director Andrea Pfeil showed her around our spaces for cultural exchange and learning. Excited for future cooperation!
