WELCOME WILLKOMMEN

Goethe-Institut invites you to take a virtual tour of many of the sites in San Francisco and the Bay Area that are related to German-American history. This Virtual Heritage Trail reflects important projects of the Goethe-Institut San Francisco as its contribution to the avid cultural life of the Bay Area.

We are located in the heart of the Downtown area, at the gates of Chinatown. But a little more than two hundred years ago, the present site of the Goethe-Institut marked the very origins of the city of San Francisco, at that time called Yerba Buena. As you visit the site, you will discover the enormous impact and presence of San Francisco’s German community.

You are invited to discover the history behind the architecture of sites and places associated and identified with San Francisco.

We plan to expand this virtual tour and update important projects that have relevance to each one of us and to our community.

Let us know what you think or suggestions you might have! We would appreciate your feedback and ideas.
