Karaganda Regional Society "German Center" Wiedergeburt "("Revival") was registered in 1992.
The German public association is one of the most active in our region. The close interpenetration of cultures of different peoples led to the fact that among the many German national holidays a special place is given to the meeting of Nauryz, the Holiday of Unity of the Peoples of Kazakhstan.
The goal of IVF is to revive the traditions and customs of the German people. The national ensemble of German dance "Volksguelle", dance group "Dancing valley", vocal groups "Musikwelle" and "Volksstimme" of Temirtau are popular. The Volkskwelle Ensemble has repeatedly successfully represented the region at international festivals and competitions in Russia, Germany, and is a participant in republican festivals of friendship.
Over time, the direction of the work of the ethno-cultural association has significantly expanded: the German educational complex, the department of social protection of laborers, the meeting center, the youth club, the consulting and translation department, the guitarists' studio. The educational and information center of the association, acting as a kind of institution for the development of Karaganda Germans in various fields of activity, is recognized as one of the best in the republic.
The society has a club of German youth, as well as its branches in the cities of satellites, such as Saran, Abay, Temirtau, Shakhtinsk.
