My wife is from Munich and our little guy speaks a mix of English and German (He's 2). How can we get connected to the German community in Chattanooga?

We are arriving in July!

I don't think there is a German community in Chattanooga, so to speak. There are Germans living here, but they are all over the place, not is a community or certain area.

Willkommen. Many of the Germans here are associated with the new Volkswagen plant. There is a program at Normal Park Museum Magnet school for their children. Perhaps someone there (Ms. Draper, maybe) could tell you more about how to make contact with the community.

There is also a German American Club that might be of interest:

I may can help you on this one. I've spoken with a lady who's job is liaison between the German families and local contacts. I'll dig through my contacts and look her up.

We have contacted the German American club. .. sounds like a good place to start....
Sounds like German people are scattered all over the city?

Interesting....

I sent you a message, but thought of this afterward! There is a school in Cleveland, TN - Home I have met the owner's husband before. He is German, and I think she is as well, but I'm not certain. He has a blog and some other resources I can share if you are interested. The Cleveland/ Bradley Chamber of Commerce may also have some connections since Wacker is coming in there.
