ABOUT
US
History
The Concordia German Club was established in 1883 in a building
located next door to the GPO in George Street and is one of
the oldest clubs in NSW. It has served not only the German Community
over the past 120 years but has been a long-standing institution
in the cultural life of the wider Sydney Community for more
than a century. The club has provided a link for the German
speaking communities to their homeland but equally importantly
has given Sydneysiders an opportunity to experience German hospitality,
cultural activities and traditional German functions. The club
has been multicultural for many years, long before the term
became popular. The atmosphere, the entertainment, the food
and our bar are distinctly German in character. In a word we
offer German "Gemuetlichkeit" for all Sydneysiders
to experience and enjoy.
Recent Developments
After more than 50 years at Stanmore the club recently relocated
to Tempe. The club building is located at Mackey Park in Richardson's
Crescent Tempe, next to Cooks River and directly opposite Tempe
railway station.
We are a fully licensed club and our doors are open every Friday,
Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon. Our Bistro serves traditional
German dishes and is open for Lunch and Dinner on these three
days (see FOOD
& BEVERAGES). Entertainment is provided on most Sunday
afternoons. For details see ENTERTAINMENT.
Our faclities include a club auditoriom with a dance floor and
seting for 250.
Plans for the Future
Our relocation to Tempe is also a process of renewal and rejuvenation.
Being located in an open space surrounded by lawns and trees
and next to a river provides an opportunity to develop new attractions
and activities. These will include the establishment of a restaurant
with river views.
The development plan also includes a terrace adjoining the new
auditorium where families can enjoy a BBQ meal under an umbrella
on weekends. The club will retain its German character in terms
of the entertainment and a German restaurant but will be family
based. Our aim is to have an open door and create a welcoming
atmosphere where families can meet and enjoy a glass of German
beer, small club hospitality and "Gemuetlichkeit"
Full implementation of the building program will take some time,
possibly two years. However the Bistro, our regular functions
and the atmoshere are well established, here and now. We are
a niche club enjoyed by all who have discovered us. We are the
"German Club in the Park".
