As part of our Weihnachten festivities for 2024, we are planning to enjoy and decorate traditional German cookies while watching the very traditional German Christmas Classic "Drei Haselnussen für Aschenbrödel." We'll also be enjoying some traditional German Christmas carols! Our event will be taking place in John Hume Tutorial Room 2 from 7pm.

This is a collaboration event between Deutsch Soc, the ESN and Spanish Soc. We are planning to give the floor to returned Erasmus students to share their opinions of the experience and to give advice to potential outgoing Erasmus students.  There will be chats, presentations by the speakers and a period for questions and answers at the end. The event will be taking place in the Iontas Theatre at 7pm. This is a one-off event.

Hallo Lieblings!

As the end of the year is here this means we will be hosting our AGM!! This will be taking place this week on Thursday, May 2nd, at 7pm in JHL4 and on Microsoft Teams. If you would like to join on teams please  We will have pizza for all attendees, and we will be discussing the year gone by and electing our committee for 2024/25. All committee positions will be up for grabs, pizza will be provided, and we will also have a raffle on the night (€2 for 1 strip, or 3 strips for €5). If you would like to enter the raffle but can't make it, message us, and we will find a way to get you to enter. 

All positions are up for grabs, and these are:

President - Oversees the daily running of the society, delegates all tasks, chairs meetings, makes the final call in tied vote, main point of contact for committee members, and organises hoodies. It is recommended that this position should have some experience on a committee, but this is not 100% necessary as you can learn on the job.

Vice-President - assists the president and steps in if they are unavailable, organises hoodies and acts as a point of contact between the committee and the president.

Secretary - main point of correspondence, sends all emails to members, other societies, outside companies, the Marys, etc., takes minutes at meetings, edits them and uploads them to MU Life. May be asked to fill in for the vice-president if they are unavailable or need to step up.

Treasurer - handles all finance, records income and expenditure and keeps track of receipts. Goes to the bank with President or VP. 

PRO x2 - Makes posters for each event and posts on social media.

Equipment Officer - Keeps track of the locker and ensures equipment is readily available for events

Events Officer - ensures events are planned each week, plans events and communicates these to the other committee members, books rooms, plans times for commuter events, comes up with ideas for events, keeps track of the event spreadsheet and ensures it is updated, and gives forecast of events for coming weeks at committee meetings. 

If anyone has any questions about these positions, please let us know!!

There are no pre-requisites to running for the committee, and while prior experience can be valuable, it is not 100% necessary for any position. New people running is what will keep this society fresh and alive, so don't be afraid to put yourself out there, we would encourage everyone to run. We do ask, however, that incoming members be available for a quick meeting with the current president (that's me...hi!) to run over the basis of their role once elected.

Each year, the society and committee work completely separately to the last year's committee, so if you couldn't make events or run this year, do not let this deter you from running for next year's committee, as events can be run at completely separate times next year, and this is something that the incoming committee will work on before the start of the year. 

If you cannot make it in person or on teams, you can also email us a speech to read on your behalf. We do ask that all speeches which need to be read be emailed to this address (deutsch@mulife.ie) by 3pm on Thursday. We also ask that anyone attending on Teams also let us know so we can ensure a link is sent out for you to join.

Hope to see many of you there and best of luck to the people who are running,

Mit Liebe,

Eure deutsche Gesellschaft.

Join us for an event hosted in collaboration with the German Department, for a reading and Q&A with German author Roman Ehrlich from his novel MALÉ. Tea, coffee and pastries will be provided. All are welcome. We would like to thank the German Department for inviting us to partake in this event and the Deutscher Akademischer Austausch Dienst (DAAD) for their sponsorship of this event. 

About the Author:

German author Roman Ehrlich writes novels and essays, trying to understand life on earth. He was an Artist-in-Residence at the Heinrich-Böll-Cottage on Achill Island in 2023, where he worked on his most recent book, Videotime, which will be published this summer.

About the Book 

All attempts to save the Maldives from the rising sea level have failed. Package tours have moved on to new destinations, and the majority of the island’s inhabitants have been forced to leave. At the same time, the seedy capital of Malé has become a mecca for all the people searching for alternatives to life in the gentrified cities of the west. And so, for the short while before it is submerged, the island becomes a space for the visions of drop-outs, adventurers and utopians, a place suspended between euphoria and nightmares where new forms of solidarity are tested and people vanish without a trace.

In Malé, Roman Ehrlich captures the complex moods of our time and weaves the stories of his characters’ yearnings and failures into a tapestry of all the contradictions that make up life at the start of the 21st century. The book was nominated for the German Book Prize 2020 and has been widely acclaimed.

Hallo Lieblings!

On 1st March, we will be hosting a Kaffee & Kuchen Bake Sale in the Student Common Room! Anyone who's been to our Kaffee & Kuchen Morgen before will know that it's a fun morning to just sit back, relax and have a chat (auf Deutsch oder Englisch is up to you!).

This time round, we'll be raising funds for the society so that we can continue putting on great events and next year's committee will be able to put together another great plan, which would hopefully include another trip to Germany! So, we'll provide the Kaffee for free, and we ask that you buy a delicious Kuchen or two which will be lovingly prepared by the committee and some very generous members!

If you'd like to help out by baking something, give us a shout, we'd love as much support as we can get!

Mit Liebe,
