The beginning of Goethe-Institut Surabaya
 Opening

The Goethe-Institut Surabaya began in the 1960s when the renowned gamelan music expert Dr. Rudolf Gramich and other teachers offered German courses in Surabaya. The great success of these courses caught the attention of the Goethe-Institut, which opened an office in Surabaya in 1964.

Due to political turbulence, the management was brought back to Germany, but the institute remained. Not long after, the Goethe-Institut's language courses became so popular that in 1966 about a thousand people came to the institute to sign up for a course. The situation only settled down when the police came to disperse the crowd.

They danced classical, modern, and jazz ballet works. Initially, only one performance was planned in Jakarta, but due to high demand, another was added. Performances took place twice on the night of Monday, 27 and Wednesday, 29 November 1967 in the H.I. Bali Room.
