AGP Stammtisch
What does Stammtisch mean? A Stammtisch is an informal group meeting held on a regular basis, and also the usually large table around which the group meets. A Stammtisch is not a structured meeting, but rather a friendly and casual get-together.
This is a great opportunity for German expats to meet and for other German speaking/practicing to improve your German. Speaking German is encouraged but not required.
You can email
director@alabamagermany.org for more information. Please check the alabamagermany.org opens a new website website under events to confirm the Stammtisch is on. Thank you so much!
