What we’re about
This group is operated by the Dallas Goethe Center (1/1/20) and offers programs and activities for those who are interested in promoting German language and culture. We hope to bring “ein bißchen Heimatgefühl” to North Texas, and provide you with the opportunity to share your love for the German culture and language “bei deutscher Gemütlichkeit”.
If you would like to brush up your German or learn it for the first time, we offer classes throughout the Metroplex, in Arlington/Fort Worth, Dallas and Denton. We recognize the close relationship between culture and language learning. We therefore give our students the opportunity to meet native speakers and other people who share an interest in fostering an appreciation for German language, culture, and traditions. Studying German with us offers students much more than an ordinary language program. They will become members of a community.

See all- Film Discussion Afire (Roter Himmel, 2023)Link visible for attendees
Afire (Roter Himmel, lit. 'Red Sky') is a 2023 German drama film directed by Christian Petzold, starring Thomas Schubert, Paula Beer, Langston Uibel and Enno Trebs. The relationship drama focuses on four people who are trapped in their holiday home on the Baltic Sea by uncontrolled forest fires.
Somewhere on the Baltic coast of northern Germany, two friends – a photographer working on a portfolio, a writer fretfully wrangling a near-finished draft of his second novel – arrive at a summer house to find a young woman, the sunny, free-spirited Nadja (Paula Beer), already staying there. Caught up in the flighty, Rohmer-esque spirit of the vacation, the photographer, Felix (Langston Uibel), places his artistic endeavours on the back burner and allows himself to be seduced by the endless possibilities of the summer. Writer Leon, however, hunkers down with a pack of cigarettes and a mounting sense of injustice and prepares to have a thoroughly miserable time of it.
Afire is a sly comedy about writer’s block, a bad vacation, and the catastrophe of a warming world. The film won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, where it had its world premiere in February 2023.
The trailer is available here:
