Founded in 1977 as one of New York University’s prestigious international houses, Deutsches Haus at NYU is a key American institution in the New York City area fostering German-American and international understanding. Deutsches Haus offers an acclaimed and enriching cultural and academic program frequently in collaboration with NYU scholars as well as New York’s highest quality German language program.
 
In a globalized world, DH believes in the importance of a deep trans-Atlantic understanding and dialogue. Our program targets academia as well as the City at large. It offers insights into the arts, business, language, politics, philosophy, communications, society, culture and public life in Germany and Europe. With innovative, cutting edge programming, DH particularly seeks to expand its outreach to the next generation of global citizens. Our goal is to give a multi-facetted picture of Germany and its relationship with the U.S. today.

"Deutsches Haus does not limit itself to teaching the nuts and bolts of a complex language, it introduces its students to the world of German literature, culture, and politics.  My time there was enriching on many levels.  I highly recommend it."
