In anticipation of the U.S. vs. Germany friendly in Chicago today, the German Embassy in the U.S. and U.S. Embassy in Germany are having a crossover episode of our own!

We’re exploring how fan culture looks a little different on both sides of the Atlantic. Bratwurst and beer in the stands, or a tailgate spread with wings and nachos? Which game day food are you picking? 🌭🍺 Comment your favorite below!

, 82 years ago, Allied forces hit the beaches of Normandy and liberated Europe from N**i occupation. What followed was the path to an era of peace, a reunified democratic Germany, and a continent rebuilt. We remember those who made that possible. Their courage was the turning point, and their sacrifice is written into the freedom we enjoy today.

Happy ! 🌿 A milestone worth celebrating: Germany's Federal Environment Ministry turns 40 tomorrow, June 6th. 🇩🇪 Founded in 1986 in the wake of Chernobyl, the ministry has spent four decades making a difference — from helping close the ozone hole to turning the electric car into a serious alternative to the combustion engine, and transforming landfill waste mountains into a thriving, export-strong recycling industry. Proof that environmental commitment pays off!

🌍 Happy World Bike Day! 🚲

Did you know that 39% of Germans aged 14–69 ride a bicycle or pedelec regularly — meaning daily or several times a week — whether to get around or simply for the joy of it? Not bad for a country that also invented the modern car. 😉

Dreaming of a European beach getaway? 🌊☀️

While many travelers flock to the Amalfi Coast or the South of France, Germany's coastline offers a different kind of summer escape.

With nearly 1,200 km of coastline along the North Sea and Baltic Sea, Germany is home to wide sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, charming islands, and plenty of room to unwind. 🏖️🐚

From Sylt's windswept dunes and Rügen's iconic chalk cliffs to the car-free tranquility of Juist and Usedom's 42 km of sandy shores, there's a coastal destination for every kind of traveler.

So next time you think “European summer,” think Germany’s coast! Which beach destination is at the top of your travel list? 🌊

Putting the main(e) focus on Maine ahead of the midterm elections!

Last week, Consul General Sonja Kreibich and Embassy Counselor Ruben Schwarz traveled to Maine in order to better understand the political landscape in the State.

Thank you to everybody who took time to meet with us and share their perspectives! Attending the last debate of Maine’s democratic gubernatorial candidates was an interesting – and fun – insight into democracy at work. Special thanks to Governor Janet Mills, Honorary Consul Adrian Kendall, Maine Policy Institute, Maine International Trade Center, and Prof. em. Amy Fried at the University of Maine.

We also wanted to learn more about Maine’s marine economy and its current economic and social challenges. Thank you to Rhee Hampson at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute and Erin Pelletier at the Gulf of Maine Lobster Foundation for explaining your work with the fishing and lobstering communities, and to Rebecca Jordan for bringing together a wonderful roundtable of people who grew up in these communities and care deeply about them.
