About Us

Welcome to the Rotary Club of Bonn International – where the world comes together in the heart of Bonn!

We are the only Rotary Club in the city dedicated to the international community, offering a welcoming home for globally minded individuals and expatriates. If you’re a foreign Rotarian visiting Bonn, our doors are open to you! With a vibrant mix of diverse experiences and cultures, we bring people together in a spirit of camaraderie and shared purpose, connecting you locally while opening doors to the prestigious global Rotarian network.

 

Our club is a thriving community of 48 members, including business leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, climate leaders, artists, musicians, doctors, lawyers, policy makers, researchers, journalists and more. We proudly represent 16 different nationalities, from Germany, Kenya, India, and Barbados to Egypt, Uganda, Iraq, and beyond. This rich cultural diversity is at the heart of who we are, making our club an exciting and dynamic place to belong.

 

With an average age of 52, we’re one of the younger, more energetic Rotary Clubs in District 1810. But what truly sets us apart is our passion for making a difference. Whether it’s fighting climate change, working towards a polio-free world, or promoting peace, our members are committed to tackling the most pressing challenges of today—both locally and globally.

 

As an open, non-political, and non-sectarian organization, we welcome all people with international experience, no matter their race, religion, gender, or political views. Our meetings, held in English, are inclusive, engaging, and packed with opportunities to learn, grow, and connect with like-minded individuals.

 

Join us every Monday at 7:00 PM at the Gustav-Stresemann-Institut in Bonn for a 7:30 PM start. Rotarians from near and far, along with guests recommended by Rotarians, are warmly invited to attend. And it doesn’t stop there! We also host frequent social events and outings, taking full advantage of all that Bonn and the surrounding areas have to offer.

 

The Rotary Club of Bonn International is a place where exciting ideas meet meaningful action. Our meeting topics span health, youth exchange, environmental initiatives, conflict resolution, culture, and much more—always with a global perspective.

 

We can’t wait to welcome you and share in the energy and enthusiasm that defines our club! Together, we’re making a lasting impact on communities around the world.

An unforgettable day of culture and community

History and joie de vivre

The excursion began with a visit to the former government bunker, a fascinating testimony to Germany's post-war history.
The excursion began with a visit to the former government bunker, a fascinating testimony to Germany's post-war history.
Built at the beginning of the Cold War, this underground facility was designed as a shelter for important members of the government, the Federal President, the Constitutional Court and more than 2,000 employees. Fortunately, this facility never had to serve its intended purpose.   During our tour, it became clear just how limited the facilities were at the time: With supplies for just 30 days, the anxious question of what a return to a potentially nuclear-contaminated Germany would have meant would have arisen once they had been used up. A thought-provoking realization that brought home to us the drama of that time.   After ...

Relive Lithuania: Stories from RCBI’s Trip September 2025
Show the description

Last September, five of our club members traveled to Lithuania — and
returned with unforgettable memories of culture, history, food, music,
and inspiring meetings with local Rotary clubs.

Join us to relive these experiences together! Travel not only connects
us with new places, it also strengthens our bonds as an international
club of many cultures and backgrounds.

In the spirit of this year’s motto, “United for Good,” let’s celebrate
fellowship — and perhaps make short trips like this a new club tradition.

Uzbekistan – A Cradle of Culture for more than 2000 Years.
Show the description

For many centuries the country provided and profited from the important Silk Roads crisscrossing the country which varied over time in size and shape. At times parts of China, India, Turkey and many more territories belonged to the ruling dynasties. One Emperor, Timur, and his descendants gathered artists and scientists from the conquered lands and thus initiated an unprecedented increase in knowledge some two hundred years before Galileo hat to recant his findings.

This double landlocked country offers an awesome journey to a bloody yet fascinating history and at the same time to a post-soviet country in search of its independent future.

Jutta Aring, RC Bonn-Rheinbach and Eva Renfordt, RC Bonn International will share their insights and invite to a joint trip of members and partners of all Rotary Clubs in the Bonn area to this awesome country in October 2026.
