The Goethe-Institut is the Federal Republic of Germany's cultural institution operational worldwide. We encourage cultural collaboration, promote discourse across the globe and run language courses. The Goethe-Institut has been present in Korea since 1968 and our library at the Goethe-Institut Korea provides information on current aspects of cultural, social, and political life in Germany, with a constantly updated collection of books and media. We also offer information services regardless of location via the eLibrary, our website, and our social media presence.
