The Dinner took place in the Havana Lounge in Bremen. After welcome speeches by Club President Ulf-Brün Drechsel and special guest Prof. Dr. Wiebke Ahrndt (Director of the Overseas Museum in Bremen), it was time to cut the turkey.

We then enjoyed a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, which was afterwards rounded off with a slice of apple pie.

We would like to thank the Carl Schurz German American Club for the invitation and for hosting this special event.

Auf Wiedersehen – Time to say goodbye

It’s hard to believe, but unfortunately, our students’ time in Bremen is already over and it is time to say “goodbye”. We hope that you enjoyed your time here and wish you all the best for your future. And if you ever get homesick for Germany in the future, you are always welcome to visit us in Bremen!

Our very yummy farewell dinner that we had mid-July

Auf Wiedersehen und hoffentlich bis bald!

40th Anniversary – Wednesday June 4

On Wednesday, President Jones and his wife Beth visited the Mercedes Plant in Bremen together with some of the current Dickinson-in-Bremen students.

Due to security measurements, we unfortunately weren’t able to take our phones inside of the plant to take any pictures or videos, but believe us, it was truly spectacular and mesmerizing.
