A Place to Connect.
A Culture to Celebrate.
Treffpunkt is a nonprofit meeting place for Germans, Austrians, Swiss, German speakers, learners, and friends of the culture, fostering connection and heritage across Arizona.
A meeting place for Arizona's German-speaking community
The “Treffpunkt”, meaning “meeting place”, is a nonprofit organization where Germans, Austrians, Swiss, and everyone who speaks German (or would like to learn) come together. We celebrate heritage, language, and friendship through gatherings, education, and cultural exchange.
Our sponsors and members contribute to the diversity of the Treffpunkt. We are closely associated with German businesses in Arizona, local German-speaking clubs, Arizona State University, and other universities and schools, offering German foods, beer and wine, books, exhibitions, concerts, lectures, and social gatherings.
Gather. Celebrate. Connect.
From our traditional Stammtisch gatherings to cultural celebrations, conversations, and community events, there is always something bringing people together at Treffpunkt.
Confirmed events are managed live by our team and published on our events page as they are scheduled, including the Thursday Stammtisch, professional meetups, seasonal celebrations, and guest talks.
