The Max Kade House
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 Program'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 presentations, lectures, musical events, holiday celebrations, fall fest, carnival, and other parties, and especially the Kaffeestunde on the second Wednesday of each Block, from 3:30 to 4:30pm. Everyone interested in German language, culture and meeting new 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 and dedicated billiards room were added. The beautiful Benedictine garden & fish pond invite the students to relax and enjoy their beautiful surroundings. The 'Garden House' provides an additional space for student to study or just relax. If you have any questions about living in the German House, contact the German Studies program.
German CPC 2024-25 Lina Hoell
Hello! My name is Lina Höll. I am the German Cultural Coordinator for the academic year 2024/2025. I grew up in a small town called Memmingen, which is located in the Bavarian region Allgäu and close to the German Alps. The Allgäu is a beautiful stretch of land with plenty of old unique traditions and cuisine. For the past six years, I studied at the University of Regensburg, where I was enrolled in a teacher training program with the majors of sports and English. I recently graduated from my university and can’t wait to start the CPC position at Colorado College. I am looking forward to sharing my German culture and language with you and also, to experiencing American culture during my stay. I hope to get to know you soon at the various cultural events or adjunct courses.
All the best! Lina
