History

The history of the American house in Germany

How did we become the German-American Institute?

The Amerikahaus Nürnberg, founded in 1946 by the US military government, evolved from a center for US military personnel into a binational institute. Since 1962, known as the Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut Nürnberg e.V., it promotes German-American dialogue through cultural events, language courses, and discussion groups. With the largest English-language library in Northern Bavaria and special programs for children and youth, it serves as an important hub for cultural exchange and education.

4th of July Celebration

Independence Day, the 4th of July, is held every year at DAI to celebrate our patriotism and thank our Förderverein members. On this day, all patriots and American citizens come together to have a fun time with lots of activities and music.
