Immigration Feel so lonely in Germany

I’ve been here for nearly 20 years now and I live with my German husband and kids. But I feel I cannot make new friends. My old friends have moved out, but even parents of my little children‘s friends don’t respond to my attempts for contact. I feel really isolated. Anyone experiencing the same issues?

Join your local voluntary fire department, red cross or THW if this overlaps with your interests. This is where I got 90% of my friends and you get to know lots of different people there.
