The Joachim Herz House, located just southeast of Atlanta, serves as a vibrant hub for transatlantic dialogue, collaboration, and cultural exchange. 🇩🇪 🇺🇸

A heartfelt thank you to Ulrich Müller, Member of the Executive Board of the Joachim Herz Stiftung, and Katrin Traoré, Cluster Leader for Transatlantic Dialogue, for welcoming Consul General Oliver Bientzle today! It was an inspiring opportunity to tour the venue and learn more about the foundation's extensive initiatives first-hand.

Established in Hamburg in 2008, the Joachim Herz Stiftung, is one of Germany's leading non-profit organizations. Through its support of research, entrepreneurship, vocational training, and German-American exchange, it plays an invaluable role in fostering deep, lasting connections across the Atlantic. Alongside its other initiatives, the foundation provides Kennesaw State University students with stipends to pursue full-time, eight-week summer internships in Hamburg.

Team German Consulate General in Atlanta spent a highly educational afternoon connecting with our local academic community! 🎓

At the German Program in the School of Modern Languages at Georgia Tech, we discussed exciting opportunities for cross-cultural academic exchange and innovation, the strong ties of the German community in Georgia, and GT’s summer study abroad program, Languages for Business and Technology (LBAT), which offers students immersive experiences in major cities like Berlin and Vienna.

We also joined fellow members of the Atlanta Consular Corps for an insightful tour of Agnes Scott College. We loved learning about all the amazing, forward-thinking programs at their Global Learning Center, which is doing incredible work preparing the next generation of global leaders.

A huge thank you to both institutions for hosting us and fostering German as a Foreign Language as well as strong international connections right here in Georgia!

Hannah Arendt fled N**i Germany and became one of the most important political thinkers of the modern age.

A Jewish philosopher who escaped an internment camp and arrived in America as a stateless refugee, Arendt wrote profoundly about totalitarianism, power, freedom, and how ordinary people can enable terrible things.

In this installment of Shaping 250 — Faces of the German American Story, we remember Arendt and the enduring relevance of her work. Her story reminds us that freedom requires vigilance—and that those who find refuge can help us better understand how to protect it. 🇩🇪🇺🇸
