Global roots, local streets – Expats shaping the life and energy of Seefeld
Expats in Kreis 8
Sometimes it feels as though District 8 has a magnetic pull — especially when it comes to attracting fascinating people from all over the world. The expats who call our neighborhood home bring with them remarkable backgrounds and inspiring stories. Here, they share what made Seefeld the place where they truly belong. And if you, too, have come from afar and are spending some time here — whether for a brief stay or a new life chapter — we’d love for you to share a glimpse of your own journey with our community.
Yours, The Kreis 8 Team
