The BALTIMORE KICKERS, a German soccer club, has been in existence for more than sixty-five years. The club was founded when Eddie Thau, a former player of the Erster Deutscher Sport Klub, and Werner Juergensen, an immigrant from W. Germany, met and discussed the possibility of forming a German soccer team. The purpose was and is to promote soccer as well as the German language and the German culture.

Christmas trips to Germany.

Do you like to travel?  The club sponsors culture trips – both in the US and abroad.  A one week Christmas Market trip and a two week European trip are usually planned each year as well as weekend and day trips here at home.

We sponsor many activities during the year.  Among our activities are a Schlachtfest – Shrimp Feast – German Festival Weekend – German Christkindlmarkt –  Schuetzenfest – Crab Feast.  We also sponsor German language courses for beginners and advanced speakers which are free of charge.

Monthly meetings begin with a meal, usually German in theme, and is followed by a general business meeting .
