About us

for about 10 years

Welcome
to DeutschCafé.

Learn German, meet people and feel at home in a new language. That’s what we are about, for about ten years, right in the middle of Freiburg.

1st floor, above the travel agency

Grünwälderstr. 20

Started small.
Grew big?
Nope. On purpose.

DeutschCafé has been around for about ten years. Since Gerel took over in 2019, the school has grown step by step and is now a well-known address for German lessons in Freiburg.

What has never changed: we stay small on purpose. Small groups, short ways, a team that knows your name. Learning German with us feels more like a small family than a course factory.

The people behind DeutschCafé

And of course our team of teachers who speak German with you every day.

Head of school & academic director

Gerel

Gerel supports our students with lots of experience, patience and a fine sense for what everyone needs. Her goal: everyone feels comfortable and still makes real progress.

Deputy head & organisation

Bileg

Bileg takes care of everything behind the scenes: courses, processes, new ideas like the app and the language café. So that learning German with us stays personal and easy.

Our rooms

Cosy on purpose instead of seminar-room grey. For learning, working and chatting.

Quiet, bright and personal

Small room

Room for up to 8 people. Facing the courtyard, perfect for focused learning.

Coffee, chats, breaks

Kitchen

Coffee machine, kettle, fridge, microwave, stove. Coffee and tea are on us, you are welcome to bring your own food.

With a view of Freiburg

Large room

Room for up to 10 people. Facing the busy street. City life is always a little part of the lesson.

Right in the middle of Freiburg

We are in the historic old town, surrounded by cafés, restaurants and small shops. After class you are right in the middle of it.
