Explore German Traces: An East Village Walking Tour

Did you know that New York was once home to one of the world's largest German-speaking communities, and the East Village’s nickname was “Kleindeutschland” – Little Germany?

Join German-American journalists and travel guides Christina Horsten and Felix Zeltner for an immersive, interactive walking tour and explore the hidden German history of one of Manhattan's most exciting neighborhoods! From breweries to churches, from the birthplace of a legendary New York brand to one of the city’s most tragic incidents. Discover how German immigrants helped shape NYC – and why so much of their legacy has been forgotten.

Join the community, meet the team of the German consulate, and enjoy snacks along the way!

Date and Time: 5 November, 4 pm

Location: Ottendorfer Library, 135 2nd Avenue, New York, NY 10003
