When and why was the German Mixer founded?
The first German Mixer took place in July 2003 in Newport Beach. Claudia Fochler (former Knecht) set it up because she missed such an event in the Orange County area. Her ambition was to establish an event for the young and established German community, a forum for private and professional networking. In 2006 when Claudia moved back to Germany, Birgit Trinkwalter continued hosting the monthly mixers. In December 2014, Martina Tewes took over the mixer when Birgit moved out of state.
