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.

•OnlineFilm Discussion - Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse (1960)
OnlineThe Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (Die 1000 Augen des Dr. Mabuse) is a 1960 black-and-white crime thriller film directed by Fritz Lang in his final film. The West German/French/Italian international co-production starred Peter van Eyck, Dawn Addams and Gert Fröbe.
In 1960s Germany, criminal mastermind Dr. Mabuse uses hypnotized victims, and the surveillance equipment of a Nazi-era bugged hotel to steal nuclear technology from a visiting American industrialist.
American multi-millionaire Henry B. Travers (Peter van Eyck), the owner of a nuclear arms plant, while staying at the Luxor to ink a new contract for rockets, saves the life of the suicidal hotel guest Marion Menil (Dawn Addams), who is about to jump from the ledge, and promptly falls in love with her. Why the married woman wanted to commit suicide leads to a bizarre tale involving hypnosis and many complex plot twists.
Austrian-born Fritz Lang returned to Germany to make his last film, where he began his film career as a twentysomething and remained until his exile to America in 1933. The 1,000 Eyes of Dr. Mabuse is a stunning update to his famous master criminal series that has Dr. Mabuse, a master of disguises, who cannot die (his spirit lives on forever), as the madman plotting to rule the world.
