What is the Metropolitan Club?

The Metropolitan Club Stuttgart - International Society e.V..
is a lively and active club with international
members from all walks of life.

The club was founded not long after the Second World War “... to promote through cultural, educational and social activities the mutual contact and understanding among primarily young people of all nations, especially between Germans and Americans.”
(quote from our constitution)

The objective is to foster the idea of international understanding and the exchange of cultural values through activities mainly held in English language.

The club’s purpose will also be accomplished by “providing the knowledge and understanding of the regional topography, culture and history to foreigners by means of lectures and excursions”.
(quote from our constitution)

Activities

We have a wide range of social activities, cultural events and educational programs, most of which are led by our members, cost nothing or very little, are open to the general public and include:
