We’re launching an app! Here’s why.
October 14, 2026 · News from German Events NYC
Interest in German events is growing. So is the calendar. We’re building a better way to find your people and turn good intentions into real plans.
From more events to your kind of plans
- More and more people are discovering German-speaking New York.
- A big calendar makes it harder to find what is right for you.
- We want to match events to your goals and interests, then help you meet people who share them.
- Busy schedules and ‘we should go sometime’ need a better way to become actual plans with friends.
What we’re building toward
These are the features and experiences we are exploring, not a promise that they are all available today.
- All the events, important updates and notifications when new events are added.
- Personal discovery based on both your interests and what you want to get out of an event.
- Ways to communicate with experts and the community.
- Reminders for you and your friends via text, email and app notifications.
- German experiences together: a textile-free sauna, Weihnachtsbäckerei and a German Christmas dinner.
Help shape it
Choose the features that matter to you on this page, then register your interest in an affordable paid membership. Signing in lets us connect your response to your account. Guests can respond anonymously or voluntarily add an email address.
JavaScript is needed to use the feature selectors and submit a response. A click expresses interest only: no payment, paid subscription or newsletter signup.
How will we make money?
We’re still figuring that out. We are considering sponsorships from venues and event organizers, a very affordable membership, and events we organize ourselves. Prices and what a membership would include are still open.
A little farther down the road
Our focus is people interested in German events in NYC. If this model works, the same social infrastructure might eventually serve other communities, industries and special interests. For now, we start here.
