Some basic background; lots of addresses. Federal Republic of Germany is abbreviated as FRG.
The German Consulates are very helpful in getting information about anything concerning Germany (travel, politics, laws ...) They're very thorough and supply lots of information in response to requests. Among other things:
For background and general information on Germany the German Embassies will send anyone a complimentary copy of the booklet Facts about Germany.
There is a list of all embassies/consulates in the US. You get it from the Department of State. Its title is Foreign Consular Offices in the United States and it contains addresses, names of the staff and phone numbers. You might find the booklet in most public libraries.

The various Goethe Institutes ( English page) are funded by the German government to provide an opportunity for people outside Germany to become acquainted with German culture and learn German. They offer:
of which readers of soc.culture.german report that they are intense but really make you learn.
that are open to all, including getting material via interlibrary loan or fax. The services used to be free, but some locations seem to charge for them. The Goethe Institut in Manchester, England, for example, introduced an annual fee of GBP 10 in September 1999.
My favorite still is Vee have vays to make you laugh - German humor.
This page contains a list of all Gothe institutes world-wide, including websites, mailing addresses and everything else you need to get in touch with your friendly neighborhood Goethe Institut.
