Brazilian and Portuguese connections to explore in Bonn

Bonn’s connection with Petrópolis gives Portuguese learners a specific Brazilian city to investigate. The Förderverein Bonn-Petrópolis profile describes a citizens’ partnership, personal exchanges and support for community projects in Petrópolis, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Its work includes education and health initiatives. For optional reading practice, choose one project and write a short Portuguese explanation of who it supports and what it does; this gives words such as parceria and comunidade a concrete setting.

Portugal has its own community history here. A November 2020 local-history interview, on printed pages 15-16, traces Lusitania to a football club founded in central Bonn in 1969 and its move to Holtorf three years later, where its activities broadened to culture and family life. The city’s current association listing places Associação Lusitânia de Bonn at Löwenburgstraße 75. Reading that history offers a way to explore how sport, friendship and cultural activities helped a Portuguese community build a meeting place in Bonn; ask the association about its present programme before visiting.

For a physical and musical encounter with Brazilian culture, Afro Ritmo Bonn advertises adult and children’s capoeira groups in Dottendorf and welcomes people without previous experience. Its account of the workshop and batizado held on 10-12 July 2026 describes capoeira, music and shared rodas. As optional listening practice, note unfamiliar words from a group’s public material and check their meaning before using them in conversation.

Bonn also has a place in the history of organised German-Brazilian exchange: the Deutsch-Brasilianische Gesellschaft was founded here on 7 December 1960. Its publication TÓPICOS offers a PDF archive from 1995 onwards and partly bilingual issues. Choose an article with Portuguese text and summarise its subject in your own words; the archive lets you compare how a cultural or social question was discussed at different times.

For contemporary language, DW Brasil’s description of its newsroom places its team in Bonn and Berlin and explains that it produces Brazilian and international reporting, rather than simply translating the German website. Its Portuguese articles and audiovisual material provide another optional study routine: read or watch a short item, identify its central claim, and explain which details support it.

The University of Bonn’s BASA-Museum opens a different line of enquiry. Its collection description identifies twentieth-century ethnographic holdings from South American lowlands, including Brazil, and discusses research into how objects were acquired. This is an opportunity to investigate Indigenous histories and collecting practices alongside Portuguese-language study. The museum’s visitor information lists free entry at Oxfordstraße 15; check its opening notices and current displays when planning a visit.
