German Stammtisch every first Wednesday of the Month also from 6:30 on. You find many German societies in Houston: Deutsche Samstagschule Houston www.deutschesamstagschule .org Houston-Leipzig Sister City Association www.germanconsulatehouston.org The Bach Society Houston Houston Liederkranz www.geocities.com/houston_liederkranz and one of the most interesting organizations: the German heritage foundation of Fredericksburg www.germanheritagefoundation.com |
In the US there are various names: German Language Cercle, Tea Stunde, German Happy Hour, die Gruppe, and der Stammtisch.
They all have one thing in common: practicing and enjoying German in an informal setting. In Germany a Stammtisch is a table reserved for regular customers, designated with a "Stammtisch" sign. More than merely being a piece of furniture, the "Stammtisch" is where a number of German character traits come together in one place: beer drinking, conviviality, and a deeply ingrained penchant for speaking authoritatively on any given subject. At Rudi Lechners you can join the Austrian Stammtisch every first Tuesday of the month, from 6:30 pm on,
