Wunderbar Together

Until the end of 2019, Germany will be celebrating a year of German-American friendship knowing that the United States and Germany are Wunderbar Together ― stronger as friends and partners.

With this initiative, we are focusing on our robust relationship, rooted in deep historic ties, shared values, and bold visions for the future. We are painting a picture of everything German-American relations stand for, including science, the arts, culture, language, business, and sports. We want to create an exchange of ideas with all Americans, not only in New York, Washington D.C. and Los Angeles, but also in the heart of the country.

Working with over 250 partners, we are showcasing our close bonds in over 1,000 events in all 50 states. We are excited to present a number of Wunderbar Together partners at re:publica19!
