German Language Day occurs every 12 September, commemorating the language of many of the world’s renowned artists and thinkers. To encourage the speaking of German across the globe, this commemorative day was created in 2001. It is observed every second Saturday in September.
Celebrate the German language with us by browsing a selection of Berghahn translations from German-speaking historians as well as our texts on German film.
