· Forum

BookCrossing.com does have some fora, where BookCrossers (or those who wants to become a BookCrosser) can talk about books, ask questions, chit-chat, etc.

There even exists seperate fora for some or all different languages of this country:

·  german  · 

The German Forum at BookCrossing.com can also reached via the following link: www.bookcrossing.de

· OBCZ - Official BookCrossing Zones

(From the BookCrossing.com FAQs)
Official BookCrossing Zone - a BC member, with the permission of the location manager, sets up a box, shelf, corner, etc. to become a centralized location for exchanging books.

BookCrosser Netstation, has setup a wonderful page named OBCZ Finder, where reported BookCrossingzones can found, not only in Europe, but also in the whole world.

BTW, the OBCZ-Finder has indeed some entries for Germany.

If there exists a support page for this country (mentioned above), you could find other sources of OBCZ, as the OBCZ-finder may not be complete. Not every OBCZ-caretaker even think of reporting them!

· Chat

A BookCrosser-Chat can be found at www.keeptalking.de, channel BookCrossers. You can login as guest (no need of password) and you'll find the BookCrossers-Channel in the tab "chat", especially in the grouped channels "german". (don't worry, speak your language, the channel often is mutlilanguaged... and if needed, we/you can create a temporary language channel *gg*)
