Download the app for free German vocabulary testIn Kontakt is the plain rendering, but German more often uses a verb where English uses this phrase. Sich melden — literally to report oneself — covers I'll be in touch: ich melde mich. It is the single most useful verb in German correspondence and has no tidy English equivalent.
The negative side splits differently too. Out of touch in the sense of having lost contact is den Kontakt verloren; in the sense of being out of touch with reality it is abgehoben or realitätsfern, a wholly separate word.
sich melden to get in touch
The verb German prefers, and the standard closing of a business letter: ich melde mich.
Verbindung connection
In Verbindung bleiben is slightly more formal than in Kontakt bleiben, and also means a phone connection.
abgehoben aloof, out of touch
Literally lifted off the ground. Nothing to do with Kontakt, and the word a German would use about a politician.
