About us
Welcome to the Expats-in-Mainz meetup page!
Join our group to receive an invite to our WhatsApp community. Invites are sent via email after joining this group to avoid spam on the community.
Whether you’re new to Mainz and looking to settle in, a traveler exploring the city, or a longtime resident eager to share your insights, you’re in good company. Our diverse group includes members from all over the world, each on their own journey yet connected by a shared spirit of discovery and community.
While the group is based in Mainz, we’re not limited to the city. Many of our events also take place in nearby areas like Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, and the surrounding regions. We love following the fun — wherever it may lead!
In addition to our regular events and excursions, we invite you to join our WhatsApp community. We encourage everyone to create topic-based groups—like hiking, reading, or food—to bring together people with shared interests. As it grows, we hope this becomes one of the best ways for our members to stay connected and build lasting friendships.
On this meetup page, you’ll find recurring events, planned excursions, and spontaneous pop-up gatherings. We encourage you to:
- Suggest and host events by creating them directly on this page
- Partner with an Organizer to co-host new event ideas
- Reach out with any questions or feedback using the contact button below the organizer list or by messaging us on the WhatsApp Community
We also recommend reviewing the “Expats in Mainz” section under the Pages tab for tips on how the group works and how to make the most of it.
We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!
