The German Stammtisch was initiated in 2010 and was established to bring together mostly School of Modern Languages staff and students to have a lovely evening talking German.However, everybody who would like to have a chat in German is most welcome to join the event. It takes place monthly at Bar Loco, near Leazes Park.

Next Stammtisch: Tuesday, 18th of November

Another meeting group is a Stammtisch that meets up a few times per year for German food. Around 40 to 60 people out of at least 250 newsletter recipients meet up each time at local venues that prepares German food especially for that occasion. The Stammtisch was initiated by Manuela Wendler, who lives in Newcastle since the 1980s, and Josephine Chexal, the German Honorary Consul in Newcastle. Josephine informed Manuela that there was a German called Felix Busch who was the the Operations Manager of the Hilton Hotel in Gateshead at that time. He said that they had a German chef and proposed to arrange a German Stammtisch there. And so the first German Stammtisch was organised and straightaway a great number of people came to participate.

Today, Manuela Wendler still organises the Stammtisch.
