German-American Friendship Day 🇩🇪🇺🇸 celebrates the longstanding friendship between Germany and the United States. This year, we’re celebrating a different kind of connection between our two countries: German-American couples ❤️

We asked couples to share their stories and the German and English words they’ve picked up along the way.

A big thank you to Darren and Marc, Judy and Jan, and Kaeppler and Sebastian for sharing your stories, experiences, and humor with us!

Now it’s your turn: What are your favorite German and English words? 💬

Bonus points if you know what „Feierabend“ and „Hätte, hätte, Fahrradkette“ mean!

Democracy cannot be taken for granted. It must be safeguarded and practiced anew every day.

In 1990, 36 years ago, German reunification was achieved through free elections. This was driven by the peaceful revolution of the people in East Germany and made possible by international diplomacy.

Divided by history. United by choice.

What decisions have shaped your country?

25 years on, we remember those who lost their lives on 9/11. One of them is Sebastian Gorki, a German living and working in New York in 2001.
 
In this video, Sebastian’s son, Nicholas Gorki, speaks about his father, his family, and how he remembers and carries his father’s memory with him, despite never having had the chance to meet him.
 
Thank you, Nicholas, and the Gorki family, for sharing your story. We will never forget.

In honor of those we lost.

25 Years after the horrendous attacks of 9/11, we remember the lives taken too early.

We remember the bravery of the first responders. We remember the resiliency of the survivors. We remember the families and friends who lost loved ones.

Today, we honor those we lost, among them 11 Germans:

Heinrich Bernhard Ackermann
Christian Adams
Klaus Bothe
Barbara G. Edwards
Sebastian Gorki
Ingeborg Joseph
Heinrich Kimmig
Wolfgang Peter Menzel
Klaus Johannes Sprockamp
Christian Hans Rudolf Wemmers
Sigrid Charlotte Wiswe

We will never forget.

Did you know that the very first translation of the Declaration of Independence was in German—printed just days after the original? 🇩🇪📜

You can see a rare German-language copy on display right now at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia, featured in the exhibit, “The Declaration’s Journey,” through January 3, 2027.

👉 If you didn’t know it already, our Consulate covers Pennsylvania, too! We love traveling throughout our jurisdiction to uncover the deep historic ties between Germany and the U.S. This document is a truly fantastic piece of that shared story.

🤩 Thank you to Matthew Skic and the team at the Museum of the American Revolution for sharing their insight into this remarkable document!

Summer looks a little different depending on where you are.

While New Yorkers are lining up for the latest frozen yogurt craze, Germany has been enjoying a different frozen treat for decades: Spaghettieis.🍦

Despite the name, there’s no pasta involved. Vanilla ice cream is pressed through a potato ricer to resemble spaghetti, topped with strawberry sauce instead of tomato sauce, and finished with white chocolate shavings as “parmesan.”

Both countries are enjoying (and sometimes suffering from 😉) the summer heat, but the ways we cool down are a little different.

This summer, we’re taking you along to discover some of Germany’s favorite summer traditions, treats, and little cultural classics.
