Herzlich Willkommen beim Germanic-American Institute!

Welcome to the Germanic-American Institute. We are a Minnesota non-profit whose mission is to foster appreciation and understanding of the culture, language, arts, and ongoing history of the German-speaking peoples through public educational and cultural programs.

The GAI is a co-founder and sponsor of the Twin Cities German Immersion School, a public charter located in St.Paul, serving children in kindergarten through 8th grade.


Sadly, Saint Paul Oktoberfest is over, but you can relive the fun with our Facebook photo gallery. Vielen Dank to everyone who helped make this event a success! For more Germanic culture and festivities, mark your calendars for Holiday Open Haus, December 1–2.


How do we engage the next generation? How do we change to reflect our rapidly changing society? Along with a presentation of the financial statement of the past fiscal year, we will discuss these questions and give an overview of the events and programming planned for the new year.
