Hallo Leute! Join us for our weekly catch-up on Thursdays from 7-8pm. Every week we will have a special activity for you guys and you will get to chat to your friends and learn all about the German culture and language. All levels of German are welcome and there is no pressure for anyone to speak German if they are uncomfortable! 

Events will start up once we are back on campus! Our first event will be our AGM and details of events will come through emails and social media as they happen, so make sure to keep up to date there!

Room is to be confirmed, but once confirmed will be available here and in emails.

Some examples of what we have done for our Stammtisches in the past (and maybe some upcoming plans...) include Language Mixers, Pizza Parties, Oktoberfest, Culture Night, Craft events, Erasmus Talks and much much more! We are so excited for everyone to see what we have been planning for this year!

Wir freuen uns auf euch!

About Deutsch Society

Guten Tag!

We are MU Deutsch, one of the premier cultural societies on campus, actively promoting not only German Language and culture on campus but also cultural exchange and diversity, through our many collabs with other cultural societies.

You don't need to know any German to join or to come to our events, as they are mostly culturally themed, with some beginner-friendly language mixers throughout the year. Our main hope is that anyone who comes to our events has fun, feels comfortable, and makes new friends, and if anyone learns any German along the way, we consider that a bonus! We also try to collaborate with other societies when we can, so far, we have done collabs with Tea Society, Cancer Society, and other cultural societies, and we have many more collabs planned for the coming year!

Some of our past events have included:

- Charity Quiz in the MSU Venue, raising >€200 for Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust

- Annual Cultural Quiz, including all cultural societies on campus

- Filmabends, where we watch German Films (we do provide snacks!)

- Annual Erasmus Talk with ESN, French and Spanish Societies for second-year students to learn more about the Erasmus Programme and where they may like to study

- Filmquiz, where we hosted rounds about German films and TV shows

- Craft Events for St. Martinstag, where we made traditional lanterns

- Kaffeeklatsches, where members have a chance to destress by coming for a cup of tea and a chat

We have hosted many more events over the past few years, which can be seen in our Events Archive on MU Life.

In December 2022 we hosted our first ever society trip to Galway for the Christmas Markets, which was so successful that we are hoping to run another similar trip this year. Dates, prices, and more information will be available at our AGM!

We are the winners of Maynooth Students Union's Contribution to Charity Award 2021/22 as well as the runner-up for the Clubs & Societies Civic & Charity Award 2021/22, for our continued efforts around cultural exchange as well as charity fundraising. We were also runner-up for the Clubs and Societies Most Improved Society award in 2021/22.

Join us for a chance to learn about German culture, and look forward to many collaborations with other societies such as Tea, French, Japanese Culture, Islamic, Indian, Ukrainian, and more!

Information about our upcoming events for the 2023/24 year will be available on our MU Life and Social Media pages in early September, so make sure to keep an eye out on our social media (@mudeutsch on Instagram and @mudeutschsoc on TikTok) for more information, because we have some events that you won't want to miss out on! 

We will be at Fairs Day (October 5th in Phoenix) and orientation week (September 19th in TSI), so do come along and say "Hallo" if you see us, and feel free to ask any questions.

We will be hosting a European Day of Languages Picnic Lunch with Ukrainian Society to kick off the year on Tuesday, September 26th in the JH Stretch Tent, which will be a chance to meet the society and get to know new people ahead of our events, as well as a chance to get some snacks. We will have Pretzels and Apfleschorle.

Our first Stammtisch event will be Speed-freunden und Kartenspielen (Speedfriending and card games) on Thursday September 27th at 7pm in JHL4, which will be an opportunity to meet the committee and get to know the society ahead of our next event, our AGM where we will be electing new committee members and discussing plans for the year, same time, same room, on October 5th. Wie immer, we will be providing pizza and treats at our AGM!

We can't wait to see all our members— old and new— in the new academic year! In the meantime, feel free to message us here or on Instagram with any questions!

Bis Später!
