InterNations - A Place for Germans in Chicago
Grüß Gott to all Germans in Chicago! Would you like to meet fellow German expats in Chicago? Would you like to get insider suggestions from other Germans, e.g. where in Chicago your hometown team’s next match is shown on TV or where to get roast pork with Knödel?
We would like to invite you to become a member of InterNations Chicago. As a member of InterNations, you will have access to an active group of German expats, hailing from Berlin, Munich, Hamburg and all regions of Germany.

At first, I tried to google all information on Chicago. Then I found InterNations and some of its local scouts gave me a personal tour.

It is great to live in the Windy City and to enjoy the American way of life. However, I am also glad to attend InterNations events to meet other expats.

Why German expats move abroad (& how they like it)
Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our German members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Pursue your hobbies with amazing new friends
Do you want to continue pursuing your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living abroad? You can do that easily in our InterNations Groups, which offer activities based on a wide range of interests. Groups are hosted by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month. They organize everything from dinners to sightseeing to board game nights. For example, you can enjoy nature with the Outdoors Group, share your love of music with the Jazz Group, or go on an adventure with the Boat Trips Group. There’s something for everyone!
