The study of German at Colorado College does not end in the classroom. Our students are an integral part of extracurricular and departmental activities. Over the years, many have gone on to great things but have remained loyal alumni.

The Max Kade House is the German Studies Programs's own language theme house on the CC campus. Designed as a full-time residence for 15 students, the German House provides a fantastic atmosphere in which to live and learn. It is also the base for the many extra-curricular German events such as lectures, musical events, Christmas, Fasching and Oktoberfest parties and especially the Kaffeklatsch on the second Wednesday of each Block, from 15:30 to 16:30. Everyone interested in German language, culture and meeting interesting people is invited to come.

The German House is distinguished by its comfortable interior. During the summers of 1997 and 2011, the German House underwent significant remodeling. In addition to general improvements and redecoration, a brand-new kitchen, dedicated billiards room, and easy access for the disabled were added. The beautiful Benedictine garden & fish pond invite the students to relax and enjoy their beautiful surroundings.Computer resources and an international satellite television system are located in the 'Garden House' next door.If you have any questions about living in the German House, contact the German Studies program.
