The "America House Nuremberg" was founded in 1946 by the US military government for the purpose of "re- education ", ie the promotion of democratic ideas in post-war Germany . Like the other " America Houses " in Germany, it also served to spread anti-communist propaganda during the Cold War . In 1962 it was converted into a binational association and renamed "German-American Institute".
