"The association has grown from its modest beginnings into a strong and vibrant community," the association's president, Ljiljana Vidović, told Hina.
Through folklore, dance, song, language and customs, it passes Croatian culture on to new generations.
Around 500,000 Croats live in Germany, 32,000 of whom are in the north, making it the country with the largest Croatian diaspora in Europe.
"It is especially important for us to involve children, so that they learn to appreciate their roots and develop a love for tradition," explains Vidović, who teaches folklore to children.
At the celebration of the association's 27th anniversary in the city of Bremen, there were 140 adults and 50 children.
During the celebration, those gathered paid tribute to the victims of Vukovar.
