What began in 2014 as Gold Coast Germans has since transformed into a vibrant and welcoming community. Originally a small gathering space for German-speaking expats, our group quickly evolved into Gold Coast Stammtisch, offering a platform where members could meet, socialise, and celebrate their culture. Over the years, this initiative has flourished into what is now known as Stein Sunsets, a proud part of the German community Gold Coast, a dynamic and inclusive hub for those who share a love for German traditions, good beer, and lively conversations.
The German community Gold Coast is more than just a social group—it is a place where friendships are forged, memories are created, and a sense of belonging thrives. As we expanded, we warmly welcomed non-German partners, friends, and international expats who wished to immerse themselves in our rich cultural heritage. Today, our events are open to not only German-speaking expats from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland but also to Aussies and other expats who appreciate a friendly and engaging social atmosphere.
Our founder, Matthias Hollstein, originally from Thüringen, Germany, has called Australia home since 2008. His vision of creating a strong and inclusive German community Gold Coast has helped foster meaningful connections between locals and expats alike. Whether through traditional German festivities, casual meetups, or larger community events, we continue to uphold the values of camaraderie, diversity, and cultural exchange. Stein Sunsets plays a central role in fostering these connections, bringing together individuals from different backgrounds to celebrate and share in German traditions.
As we mark our 11th anniversary, the German community Gold Coast looks forward to an exciting year ahead. With more events, bigger gatherings, and even greater opportunities to connect, we are dedicated to expanding our reach and enhancing our members’ experiences. From Oktoberfest celebrations to summer sunset catch-ups, every event is a chance to enjoy great company and celebrate our shared love for German culture. Stein Sunsets is dedicated to creating an inclusive space where culture and friendship thrive, ensuring that every gathering is memorable.
The German community Gold Coast thrives because of the people who make it special. Whether you have been part of this journey from the beginning or recently discovered us, you are at the heart of what we do. Your enthusiasm and support continue to drive our mission forward, and we cannot wait to create even more unforgettable moments together.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to making the German community Gold Coast what it is today. Here’s to another decade of friendship, laughter, and cultural celebration. Prost to the next 10 years! 🥂🍻
