Sudeten German Landsmannschaft congress to be held in Brno for the first time

The 2026 meeting of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft will take place in Brno next year, its first-ever session on Czech soil, the organizers said in a press release. The event, representing Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia after World War II and their descendants, is scheduled for 22–25 May and will mark the 76th edition. Sudeten Germans were invited to hold the session in Brno by the Meeting Brno festival. Its director Petr Kalousek said that the invitation symbolized mutual understanding and a reckoning with a complex, often painful past.
