Where Moroccans in Berlin get free advice, meet people, find work, practise German and support their children.

In Berlin, 2,742 Moroccan nationals were registered on 30 June 2026 (Amt für Statistik Berlin-Brandenburg, table 10). The official statistics do not list Morocco separately for people with a migration background or by district, so there is no reliable number for naturalised people or for the districts. The community is small, so expect few Morocco-specific groups; most help below is open to everyone and works in Arabic, French or English. Links checked on 5 November 2026; check opening hours before you go.
