The WSB is celebrating 175 years of German singing in the DMV at our fall concert! Join us for an evening of music and fellowship.
In 1851, members of Concordia Church (now The United Church/ Die Vereinigte Kirche) in Washington DC formed what would become the oldest continuously operating singing society in the DMV. Fittingly, we are celebrating our anniversary with a concert that takes us back to our roots and through 175 years of Saengerbund history. Our friends from the Delaware Saengerbund and the German Vocalists from the German International School in Potomac will come to DC to celebrate with us, and we hope so will you! A reception will follow the concert.

Representing the Federal Republic of Germany in Washington, DC, the German Embassy serves as a vital bridge between the German government and the American people. This diplomatic mission embodies Germany's commitment to maintaining strong governmental ties and fostering understanding between the two nations. The embassy's Visa, Passport and Legal Section demonstrates Germany's dedication to serving its citizens abroad and welcoming legitimate visitors from the United States. Operating across a five-state consular jurisdiction that includes Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, the embassy extends German governmental services to a diverse population of German nationals and American residents. The embassy recognizes that navigating visa requirements, passport services, and legal documentation can be complex, and its team works to make these essential processes accessible and transparent. By maintaining an official presence in Washington, DC, Germany demonstrates its investment in the relationship with the United States and its commitment to supporting German citizens throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. The embassy's work reflects a broader mission of international cooperation, cultural exchange, and governmental partnership that strengthens ties between nations and communities.
Founded in 1977 and chartered the following year as the United German-American Committee of the USA, Inc., the German-American Heritage Foundation of the USA has grown into the premier national membership association for German-American heritage. Operating from Washington, DC as an independent, tax-exempt educational organization, GAHF is built on a foundation of community connection and cultural pride. The organization's mission centers on being an effective voice for German-Americans in matters of culture and public policy, recognizing the deep historical contributions and ongoing significance of German-American communities throughout the nation. GAHF cultivates meaningful awareness and understanding of German-American heritage and history by fostering genuine connections among members and the broader public. What distinguishes the Foundation is its holistic approach to cultural preservation—combining educational programming, community outreach, and policy engagement to ensure that German-American traditions, values, and contributions remain central to American cultural consciousness. By serving as a gathering place for German-Americans and those interested in this rich heritage, GAHF strengthens community bonds while advancing the important work of cultural preservation and public understanding. The organization's commitment to deepening cultural understanding reflects its belief that heritage organizations play a vital role in building more cohesive, informed communities.
Since 2004, the German-American Business Council has served as a vital bridge connecting the business communities of Germany and the United States, fostering lasting professional relationships and cultural understanding. Based in Washington, DC, this independent, non-profit organization was founded through an initiative of the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany and has grown steadily to include members who are leaders and innovators within their industries.
At its core, the GABC is driven by a mission that transcends purely economic objectives. The organization recognizes that successful business relationships are built on mutual respect, shared knowledge, and genuine human connection. Members gather regularly for a diverse array of program events that blend intellectual discourse with social engagement, creating opportunities to discuss pressing economic and political matters while building friendships and professional bonds.
What distinguishes the German-American Business Council is its holistic approach to supporting German and American companies. Rather than simply facilitating transactions, the organization cultivates a community where senior executives can exchange expertise, learn from one another, and develop the collaborative partnerships that drive innovation and growth. The Council's expanding membership reflects the value members find in belonging to an organization that honors both the professional and personal dimensions of international business relationships, serving not only the Washington, DC region but also extending its reach across multiple U.S. states and throughout Germany.
