Did you know our work reaches far beyond Houston?
The German Consulate General Houston is also responsible for Louisiana — from the Atchafalaya Basin and Avery Island to New Orleans’ French Quarter, Jackson Square and the Cabildo.
And because Houston is a long way from New Orleans, we’re especially grateful to our Honorary Consul Susanne Cooper, who supports German citizens locally, including with citizenship matters.
Thank you, Susanne!

Did you know? Berlin has its own “Eiffel Tower”?
On September 3, 1926, the Berlin Funkturm officially opened at the German Radio Exhibition in Westend.
At more than 146 meters (about 479 ft), the tower quickly became a landmark — and an important part of the history of radio and television in Germany.
Known affectionately as the “Langer Lulatsch” (“Long Skinny One”), it remains one of Berlin’s most recognizable sights.

Culture, language and exchange in Houston and beyond
A productive meeting with Christina Beinhoff, Head of the Culture and Communication Department at the German Federal Foreign Office; Dr. Wenzel Bilger, Regional Director of the Goethe-Institut in Washington; and Sandy Schwalen, Program Coordinator of the Goethe-Institut Houston. The Goethe-Institut has been present in Houston for one year, bringing German culture to the city through numerous cultural programs while also offering training for German teachers.
We also had a valuable roundtable organized by the Bryan-College Station Sister Cities Association, bringing together local organizations from Bryan and College Station at the Community Library. Thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the open and engaging discussion.

🇺🇸 On that day, August 27, 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson was born near Stonewall, Texas, in the heart of the Hill Country.
Today, August 27 is officially Lyndon Baines Johnson Day in Texas.
As the 36th U.S. president, Johnson shaped an important chapter of Cold War and transatlantic history. During his presidency, the United States maintained its commitment to West Germany and NATO. His 1963 visit to West Berlin became a notable moment in U.S.-German relations.
A Texas birthday with a place in transatlantic history.
