Statement from the AWCH Board

Welcome to the American Women's Club of Hamburg

The American Women's Club of Hamburg e.V. (AWCH) has been bringing women of all nationalities together since 1956. It currently supports more than 200 members. They participate in social, cultural, and educational activities in and around Hamburg and promote philanthropic causes. There is no better way to connect and make friends than to share fun and inspiring activities and join together to give back to the community—near and far.

Corona News

In light of the current situation and to reduce the spread of Coronavirus, all events and activities will follow the guidelines and recommendations set forth by the city of Hamburg. For all our events and activities, we will be following the provisions outlined in our AWCH Corona Protection Policy, which can be viewed and downloaded here: http://www.awchamburg.org/pdfs/AWCH_Protection_Policy_Dec 2021_updated.pdf.

You can read the current Hamburg guidelines for containing the Coronavirus in detail in German on www.hamburg.de/verordnung/. This page is always updated to show the current regulations. A shorter English version is available under https://www.hamburg.de/faq-english/.  

The current rules (December 2021) in a nutshell:

• 2G in all retail shops and all indoor venues, excepting supermarkets, pharmacies, hairdressers, and any place for medical treatments. There are exceptions for children under 16.
• 2G+ for hospitals, clinics, and all clubs and places where you can dance.
• Limited contact for those unvaccinated: Any meetings at home or in public with an unvaccinated person are limited to your own household and two other people from another household (exceptions for children under 14 or those who can't be vaccinated).

In light of the developing, highly contagious Omicron variant, it is urgently recommended that everyone gets fully vaccinated including boosters as soon as possible.

Vaccinations: To get a vaccination for yourself or a child 12 and over, sign up at your local doctor’s office or place of work, or go to one of the pop-up sites in your own area: https://www.hamburg.de/corona-impfstationen/. Information about vaccination sites for children ages 5-11 will soon be made available.
