For U.S. Americans living in Germany 🇩🇪

Your digital guide — Offbase.

Find everything you need to live comfortably "off base": local services, utilities, events, restaurants, and cultural tips — all in one place.

Ever felt like this in Germany?

If you’ve ever felt lost in translation or stuck figuring out how things work — you’re not alone.

Hard to find your way around?

Everything feels new — different rules, routines, and a language that makes even simple tasks confusing.

Struggling with the language?

Most info is only in German. From contracts to doctor visits, small misunderstandings can turn into big headaches.

Everyday life feels different?

Shops closed on Sundays, cash everywhere, recycling rules that need a manual — it takes time to adjust.

Too many systems, not enough clarity?

Insurance, driving, healthcare… Germany has rules for everything — but few clear explanations in English.

Hard to connect with locals?

You want to experience real German life — but it’s not easy to meet people outside the American community.

No single place for answers?

Tips, events, and services are scattered across dozens of websites and Facebook groups. You’re left piecing it all together.

Offbase will be packed with features to make your life in Germany easier. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re building.

Offbase is about making everyday life in Germany easier — clear, local, and human.
