A warm welcome
to Schlaraffia
in Washington, D.C.!
Humour is the best medicine — and real friendship the greatest gift. Welcome to the Schlaraffenreych Washingtonia, where people with a feeling for art, wit and the joy of living come together. Not to be explained — to be lived!
Why Schlaraffia?
Schlaraffia is not a club in the usual sense — it is an experience. A world apart, in which everyday life stays outside and the delight in play wakes up again.
Humour with style
Wordplay, satire, self-mockery — and all of it with style. At Schlaraffia clever heads laugh with one another, not at one another. Humour is a duty; rolling one's eyes is forbidden.
Real friendship
No shallow networks, no business calculation. Friendship among Schlaraffen is deep, honest and spans the globe.
Art & culture
Poems, talks, music, sketches — everyone brings his own talent. The weekly Sippungen are stage and stage magic at once.
At home worldwide
Over 200 Reyche on 5 continents. Wherever you travel: among Schlaraffen you are at home at once — bound together by German as the common language and by the Schlaraffen game.
The inner child
Earnestness stays outside. Inside, one may play, dream and laugh. Schlaraffia reminds us why life is allowed to be light as well.
Ritual & adventure
Knights and squires, Reych and throne, arms and orders — the mediaeval role play turns every evening into something one does not forget.
Coming events
A Sippung is more than a club evening. Experience humour, art and fellowship in an atmosphere you will find nowhere else. Guests are warmly welcome.
Schlaraffia kann man nicht erklären – man muss sie erleben.
Curious?
The first step is the easiest: write to us, give us a call — or simply come by. A visit as a guest costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
