GACO corner: Just moved to Germany? Got any questions?

We’re here to help! The German American Community Office is a free service for everyone in our wonderful KMC that helps with all questions relating to Americans living in Germany.

Feel free to follow us on facebook/gacokaiserslautern to keep posted on current events!

How to get in touch?

Call us at +49 631 363-3010 or email us by info@gaco-kl.de — preferably your private email, not your military email. We are available during these hours: Mon, Tue, Wed and Fri 9 a.m.–1 p.m. and Thu 2–6 p.m.

You want to come see us in person?

No problem! To give us a little head start in preparing for your inquiry we kindly ask you to get an appointment over the phone or by email. We are looking forward to welcoming you in our office in downtown Kaiserslautern!

What does GACO have to offer?

Lots and lots of useful and free advice!

Whether you need assistance to navigate through German bureaucracy, waste separation or traffic issues – the bilingual staff of GACO will help you in every way possible. There is no issue too small or too big for us.

The GACO is also an official cooperation partner of the “Welcome to Rheinland-Pfalz” initiative. The program is sponsored by the Rheinland-Pfalz state government to provide information in English about regional events and services in the participating villages to help you get settled quickly in your local area and enjoy everything fun that is waiting for you out there!

Beside supporting military and civilian members of the Kaiserslautern Military Community, the GACO-team provides information to high-ranking visitors from Ramstein Air Base, the U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, the Kaiserslautern city and county administration as well as Rheinland-Pfalz state government representatives. It serves as an important linking point for the German and U.S. side. This makes the GACO the only facility of its kind world-wide. The staff has developed an extensive network of contacts within the local administration, businesses and associations.

GACO wants you to feel at home in the KMC — let us help you settle in!
