Deutsche Schule - German School Milwaukee

Wishing our students, families, teachers, and friends a joyful Easter and a wonderful spring season. We hope your weekend is filled with laughter, time together, and all the little moments that make this season so special!

Wir wünschen unserer Schulgemeinschaft frohe Ostern und schöne Frühlingstage! 🌷

As Karneval season comes to a close, we wanted to share a special piece of the tradition.

Each year, the Prinzenpaar of Spielmannszug Milwaukee presents Orden to commemorate the season. Over the years, these medals have marked moments of celebration, partnership, and shared culture within our community.

Displayed together, they serve as a reminder of the friendships and traditions that help keep German heritage alive for the next generation. 💛

On January 27, 1945, Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Red Army and the inconceivable extent of the atrocities perpetrated by N**i Germany came to light. The piles of suitcases now on display at Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum tell the story of the countless victims that walked through the camp’s gates. Silent witnesses of their pain and of N**i Germany’s persecution, they remind us of the more than one million people murdered in Auschwitz.

Today, we remember the slain Jewish men, women, and children, alongside many other groups condemned to death: Sinti and Roma, political prisoners, disabled individuals, homosexuals, and many others who suffered at the hands of N**i terror. We also remember those who survived the Holocaust.

Today, more than 80 years after the end of the Second World War, fewer and fewer contemporary witnesses are still alive, while ever-increasing numbers of people have no connection to the past. Remembering this dark chapter in our history also drives us to continue ensuring that we never forget these events. We must never let such horrors come to pass again.

Get ready for Kinderkarneval, a fun celebration of music, dance, and colorful costumes inspired by the German Karneval tradition.

Enjoy fun games, lively music, and plenty of opportunities to dance, play, and celebrate together.

Costumes are encouraged and welcomed. The brighter, sillier, and more creative, the better.

To keep everyone energized, families are asked to please bring a snack and or treat to share.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Today’s German word of the day: schweinekalt 🐷❄️
Extremely, unpleasantly cold… and exactly why classes were canceled this morning.
German really does have a word for everything!

Der Unterricht fällt wegen des Wetters aus!
Deutsche Schule is canceled for January 24, 2026.
Given the extreme cold temperatures and following Milwaukee Rec we have decided to cancel classes this Saturday.

Parents and Students check your emails for fun activities to still keep your Deutsch on!

Always happy to share our German Milwaukee events with our students. So many fun events and cultural experiences coming up!

Today we remember and honor S.T. Prinz Richard III, who for many years brought joy to our school as our beloved Singing Nikolaus.
Through song and tradition, he created magical moments for our students and families that will always be remembered. We are deeply grateful for the joy he shared with our children & community.
In dankbarer Erinnerung. 🕯️

Today we honor and lay to rest our beloved Singing Prinz, S.T. Prinz Richard the Third, the Bürgermeister of the Germanfest grounds.
