Indonesian Students Association in Aachen

Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia di Aachen or Indonesian Students Association in Aachen (PPI Aachen) is a non-partisan, scientific, social, and independent organization that serves as a platform for Indonesian students in Aachen, Germany.

PPI Aachen aims to unite, protect, and advocate for its members' interests, enhancing their personal development and optimizing their potential. The organization aspires to contribute positively to both Indonesian and German societies.

 History 
PPI Aachen was founded concurrently with the establishment of PPI Jerman (Vereinigung Indonesischer Studenten e.V). The founding members included Peter Manusama as chairman, Liem Keng Kie as treasurer, and future Indonesian President B.J. Habibie as secretary during his studies at RWTH Aachen University. The first general assembly took place in 1957, where B.J. Habibie was elected as chairman. The organization was created to support and assist Indonesian students in Aachen.

Between 2011 and 2015, PPI Aachen experienced a period of dormancy. During this time, Sasmaya Tilottama served as the caretaker, handling the responsibilities of chairman, secretary, and treasurer to maintain the organization's continuity. On January 18, 2015, PPI Aachen was revitalized during a meeting at Welthaus, with Dimaz Ibrahim elected as the new chairman for the 2015/2016 term.

In 2021, PPI Aachen, in collaboration with PPI Jerman, successfully organized the International Conference of Indonesian Students (ICONIC) after a hiatus due to the pandemic. ICONIC provides a platform for Indonesian students worldwide to submit and present their research findings.

 Membership 
As of 2025, PPI Aachen supports and assists over 400 Indonesian students in Aachen and its vicinity. With the increasing number of students pursuing Ausbildung, Bachelor, Master, and PhD programs, PPI Aachen plays a crucial role in helping Indonesian students adapt and thrive in both academic and social environments in Germany.
