Everything you need to know about the newsletter and weekly giveaway.
The Newsletter
miKind is a free weekly newsletter for English-speaking parents living in Germany.
Each issue covers one practical topic — from Elterngeld applications and Kita waitlists to
finding English-speaking paediatricians and local community events. We cut through the German
bureaucracy so you don't have to.
Once a week, every week. We don't spam. Each email is focused and practical — we respect your inbox.
Yes, completely free. We're supported by occasional partner mentions and affiliate links,
which are always clearly marked. We only recommend products and services we'd use ourselves.
Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it and you're removed instantly.
No questions asked, no dark patterns.
The newsletter covers Germany-wide topics (benefits, healthcare, bureaucracy) that apply everywhere.
We also include city-specific content for Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and Hamburg — and expanding.
When you register, tell us your city so we can personalise what's relevant to you.
The Weekly Giveaway
Every Thursday we randomly select one winner from all active subscribers on our list.
Everyone who has registered and not unsubscribed is automatically entered — no extra steps needed.
The winner is notified by email and announced on our Instagram.
Each week the prize is a curated baby kit — typically worth €30–80 — sourced from small
German baby brands. The specific prize changes each week and is announced in the Thursday email.
Nope. Register once and you're entered in every draw automatically, for as long as you're subscribed.
You don't need to re-enter each week.
We'll email you directly using the address you registered with. You'll need to confirm your
delivery address within 48 hours. If we don't hear back, we'll redraw a new winner.
Privacy & GDPR
We take data seriously. Your email and registration details are stored in Brevo (our email platform),
hosted in the EU. We never sell or share your data with third parties outside of what's needed to
send the newsletter. Read our full Privacy Policy.
Yes. Email us at hello@mikind.de
and we'll delete all your data within 30 days, as required by GDPR. Unsubscribing removes you
from the mailing list but your data may remain in our system until you request full deletion.
