🦉 The Schlaraffen Experience
Why Schlaraffia?
Schlaraffia is not your typical club – it's an experience. A world apart where everyday stress stays at the door and your inner playfulness awakens. Think of it as a creative escape – plus you'll pick up German along the way!
Humor with Style
Wordplay, satire, self-irony – all delivered with flair. At Schlaraffia, smart minds laugh together, never at each other. Humor is the order of the day, and taking yourself too seriously is strictly forbidden.
Genuine Friendship
No superficial networking, no business agendas. The bonds among Schlaraffen are deep, honest, and span the globe. Once you're in, you're family – worldwide.
Art & Culture
Poetry, speeches, music, sketches – everyone brings their talent. Our weekly meetings (Sippungen) are part stage, part magic. A perfect way to experience German cultural traditions firsthand!
At Home Worldwide
Over 200 chapters across 5 continents. Wherever you travel, fellow Schlaraffen welcome you like an old friend – united by the German language and the joy of the game.
Your Inner Child
Seriousness stays outside. Inside, you're free to play, dream, and laugh. Schlaraffia reminds us that life is allowed to be light and fun – like learning a language should be!
Ritual & Adventure
Knights and squires, realms and thrones, coats of arms and medals – this medieval role-play makes every evening an unforgettable experience. It's like stepping into a living fairy tale, spoken in German!

🕐 7:00 PM · 📍 1st Floor, Concord Clubhouse, 2434 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington DC 20007
Manche reiten auf Pferden, manche auf Wellen – und manche auf dem dünnen Eis einer guten Pointe. An diesem Abend widmen wir uns dem Element Wasser in all seinen Facetten: vom Wellenreiter bis zum Sturm im Wasserglas, vom Ozeanüberquerer bis zum Suppenkasper. Ob Gedicht, Vortrag oder Seemannsgarn – bringen Sie Ihr Talent mit, Schwimmweste optional.
🇬🇧 Some ride horses, some ride waves – and some ride the thin ice of a good punchline. Tonight we dive into the element of water in all its facets: from surfers to storms in teacups, from ocean crossers to soup skeptics. Whether poem, speech, or tall tale – bring your talent. Life jacket optional.
