What members read between meetings
A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Germany. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, in both English and German, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.
The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.
Look on AmazonBill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.
Look on AmazonLiving Sober
EnglishA short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.
Look on AmazonDaily Reflections
EnglishOne short A.A. reading for each day of the year, with a thought to carry into it. Members often keep a copy on the kitchen counter.
Look on AmazonAs Bill Sees It
EnglishBrief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.

Berlin and the East
Berlin has one of the densest AA meeting calendars in Continental Europe, with German-language groups across all districts plus a substantial English-language calendar serving the international community. The city's meeting list includes established LGBTQ+ groups, recovery meetings for newcomers, and groups serving the Russian, Polish, and Turkish communities. Leipzig, Dresden, and the smaller cities of the former East maintain established meeting networks.
Munich, Stuttgart, and Bavaria
Munich's meeting calendar is among the largest in Germany, with German-language groups across the city plus English-speaking meetings serving the substantial expatriate community. Stuttgart anchors meetings in Baden-Wuerttemberg. The smaller cities of Bavaria (Nuremberg, Augsburg, Wurzburg) maintain established schedules. The US military presence around Grafenwoehr, Ansbach, and Kaiserslautern adds English-speaking meetings.
Hamburg, Cologne, the Rhineland, and the North
Hamburg's meeting calendar reflects the port city's international character. Cologne, Bonn, and Dusseldorf anchor the Rhineland meeting network. Frankfurt am Main has substantial English-speaking meetings serving the international finance community. The smaller cities of the Ruhr, the North (Bremen, Hannover, Kiel), and the central regions round out the network.
Getting to a meeting in Germany
