Volume 15.3 How to reach us Dear Members, Liebe Mitglieder Hall Rental Season’s Greetings! In a blink of an eye fall has come and gone and the Holiday Season is quickly approaching. Where has the year gone? Our summer and fall festival seasons were successful - thanks to all of you in our club. Even though it is such a busy season, the food & drinks are always great, the dance groups always impress us with their wonderful dancing and the individual groups of our society continue to dazzle us with their talents and hard work– all of these things are the glue that keeps our festivals together. In the mean time our German hall continues with their every day events. There is ongoing maintenance; electrical–lighting has been replaced and updated in both the big and middle hall, tables and chair storage racks have been made/repaired–all to the credit of our talented maintenance group. Hall rentals have exceeded both at the hall and Donau Park, among those duties are contracts and the opening and closing/locking the facilities (many times late at night). Of course the bar doesn’t stock itself and those great German beers, wines and spirits are to the tribute of our faithful and organized “Bar-Meister”. 314.771.8368 germanstlhallrental@gmail.com Newsletter E-mail 314.413.0483 germanstlmail@gmail.com www.germanstl.org Executive Committee President Monika Lorenz Vice-President Treasurer Terry Ficken Terri Gudowicz Green Assistant Treasurer Ian Romvari Some newer events at the hall were received with enthusiasm the past month. The DKV and Vom Fass jointly sponsored a wine & spirits tasting which was held for the first time preceding the Dammenchor’s Liederabend. The middle hall was elegantly decorated; cheese, crackers and fruit added to the menu of fine wines & spirits from the VON FASS store and attendance was very well received. Recording & Correspondence Just last week our fine Mittleretanzgruppe had their 2nd annual Sock Hop with the proceeds going towards the new freezer in the hall. Members at Large Jessica Romvari If you could read between the lines of this article, you could stop and contemplate all of the in-between ‘jobs’ that make all of these different events happen throughout the year. From working on projects, to decorating, to cooking, to teaching dances, to donating money, time and talents–Who advertises? Who entertains? Who organizes? Who supports? It is all of you that make this organization what it is. On the behalf of the executive board members we would like to extend our thanks to the many workers that contribute so much of their time and efforts in upholding the traditions and values of our German Cultural Society.

Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein Report from the Chorus We are happy to report that we had a very successful Liederabend. The general opinion of our guests was that it was a most enjoyable evening, because of the “Empfang” wine tasting (thank you, Moni) and the Deutschmeister Brass Band (thank you, Band), the soloists (thank you, Barbara, Theresa, and the Männerchor Quartet), and the kitchen staff. Our director, Peggy, has worked us hard, and we produced an interesting concert. Thanks also to our singers for the cakes, decorating, and assorted other things. A special mention to Kelley Glatt and her team for handling the baskets. That is a lot of work, and it produced really good results. It was a lot of fun, and we hope to do as well next year. / www.germanstl.org News from the Bastelgruppe, aka known as Arts & Crafts Arts & crafts does not have a set schedule for meetings. Our members have worked out of their homes. We are limiting our services to special orders only. Painters and wood crafters are welcome to join us. For more information please contact me at (314)842-6798 or at ktullmann@aol.com We wish everyone a “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year” Käthe Tullmann We sang at our annual Totengedenksfeier, which gives us time to remember those we have lost. At this time we are practicing for the German service at Peace Lutheran Church and our Weihnachtsfeier. As usual, I would like to invite anyone interested in singing to join us. Further information can be obtained by calling (314) 842-6798, or ktullmann@aol.com The Chor wishes everyone Fröhliche Weihnachten und einen guten Rutsch ins Neue Jahr. Käthe Tullmann The Kinder-Tanzgruppe We start with the youngest Kind(er) at age three to the more “seasoned” Kind(er) at the age of nine. With the Kinder-Tanzgruppe (Children’s dance group), the parents, relatives, friends and volunteers all play a vital role in providing a little German culture and tradition.

They even managed to find their way under my grandson’s knit cap. When I was a little girl it was permissible to burn the leaves. I do miss that smell. We would know autumn had truly arrived when that fragrance wafted across our awareness. The other thing I STILL love to do is walk through the leaves that have collected along the curbs in our neighborhood. I kick them around, making as much noise as possible. That also has a nice fragrance. Yep I’m still a kid at heart. The other great thing about autumn is the colorful display of mums. Anni Ruppe donated 4 yellow mums that we used at the Denkmal and which will be planted either at the hall, Donaupark, or divided up between them. I would love to arrange a colorful array to burst forth in both places. It will require plenty of effort to have it occur. From the Messmers we had the use of 2 ferns as well. Jugendgruppe This past summer the daisies put forth a nice showing but the Rundel [that area around the flag pole] also will need a bit more work and tweaking to get it looking better next year. Bear with me folks, all gardening is a work-in-progress. Youth Group (Ages 13-26) So long until next year. See website/call Ruth for practice schedule.

Volume 15.3 Report from the Deutschmeister Brass Band Reported by Helmut Glatt T he Deutschmeister had a very busy and productive year. We performed at 28 events, eight of which were for the Cultural Society. We became very good friends with many of the folks and nearly all have asked us back for more Schunkeling fun with them next year. Stars of the Morning Show at Fox 2 News’ “Band in a Box.” We spread our Gemütlichkeit across the greater metro area from Jefferson County at our beloved Donau Park to St. Charles, Missouri to Edwardsville, Illinois and as far east as Germantown, Illinois. We hope to expand our reach a bit next year to Peoria and perhaps Chicago! With 25 musicians, we are as strong as ever. And we look as good as ever with our new jackets. Like our vests, they are red, which is a traditional way for Blaskapelle members to distinguish themselves. The jackets bear the Deutschmeister’s crest of a lion holding a stein in one hand and a horn in the other while roaring out, “Zicke Zacke Zicke Zacke Hoi Hoi Hoi!” From every member of the Deutschmeister Brass Band, we wish you a happy and successful new year and hope to see you on the dance floor! Please go to germanband.com to keep up with our schedule. Schön Grüß von Soulard Oktoberfest! PAGE 9 Winter 2015 .

Bimonthly Saturday fun at the Jefferson Avenue location returns with Janine We had a great start into the new German Kindergarten school year! A lot of new faces that we get to share the wonderful German traditions with! So far we have learned about family, colors, numbers and german traditions like “die Schultüte” and how to trick-ortreat in German - “Süßes oder Saures”! We always have a lot of fun playing games and doing arts and crafts and we would love for some more kids to join the fun! PAGE 11 Winter 2015 . Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein / www.germanstl.org at Donau Park “Old” friends gather here. T his year’s Oktoberfests were another great season of music, foods, drink and dancing.

Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein / www.germanstl.org Kirchweih Sunday, August 23, 2015 German Celebration of the Harvest & Church Consecration This year at the Kirchweih, as we have for many years now, we celebrated the consecration of the church back home. The ribboned rosemary stalk was presented by the Jugendgruppe couple, auctioned to the young men, and given to the highest bidder ceremonially. We honor our German roots by dressing in traditional tracht or costume! Thanks to all who put together the event starting with the Catholic mass mostly in German, and of course the dancing, and the hearty meal that followed!

Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein / www.germanstl.org Middle Dance Group has been very busy this year working on both folk dances and sock hop dances. In fact, after the sock hop, we still have our favorite performance at the Millstadt Weihnachtsfest at the St James Parish Center on Dec. 6. And, they have already been invited back to the 2016 Hummel Conference in April. On Sunday, Nov. 15 the Middle Group along with some help from a few Jugend Group dancers put on their 2nd 1950’s sock hop. Their goal for holding the sock hop has been to raise funds for the German Cultural Society. This year they are raising funds for a new freezer for the fest kitchen as our old one died shortly after the St. Charles Oktoberfest. The main reason for the sock hop is to celebrate the dancers who are moving up to the youth group in January. Tyler Ballew, Sophie Smith, Amy Wendl, Olivia Heidbrink and Margaret Schaffer are moving up. PAGE 18 www.germanstl.org / Deutscher Kulturverein We transformed the main hall to a place back in time with cute props like our convertible car, table decorations that looked like ice cream sodas and our snack shop. A fun new addition was the Ruthie’s Diner sign that Lou created, and he had matching shirts made for our two chefs. So many people got into the spirit and showed up in poodle skirts, letterman sweaters, bobby socks and cat glasses. The kids performed the jitterbug, charleston, swing, bob, twist, as well as many other dance moves from the 1950’s era. A sweet addition this year was a group of singers “the Frauleinettes.” Emily and Veronica Vanderpluym, Margaret Schaffer, Morgan Allen and Ella Eder sang hits like Lollipop, My Boyfriends Back and Going to the Chapel. These girls harmonized and entertained the audience with their sweet smiles. The fun continued with our own Buzz Ulrich as DJ for the afternoon. He played all the hits from the 50’s and 60’s. Those bobby socks, poodle skirts and cool kids had a blast till the final hour. You could say they “Rocked Around the Clock.” But, the kids weren’t the only one’s having fun. Everyone had a blast from the past. Don’t miss the fun next year! You never know who might show up....Elvis maybe? PAGE 19 / Winter 2015 . Volume 15.3 Winter 2015 . Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein / www.germanstl.org Landestreffen Der Donauschwaben USA & Canada 2015 Trip Hosted by Los Angeles Donauschwaben This year’s “Labor Day Trip” was not on Labor Day, but in August because of the distance from most of the Donauschwaben clubs in the US and Canada. It is not as well attended by St. Louisans, but some of us who went tried to sneak in a vacation with the trip! OK, here’s how a meeting of the Danube Schwabians of the US and Canada goes: First we arrive in the host city and the Jugend from each city have a gathering, or in this case a Jugendfreundschaftslager (Youth friendship camp) where they learn some of the old ways, cook and visit some local places, and get to know each other. At some point at every Treffen, a “Friendship dance” is practiced by all youth groups, and then performed the next day. THEN, we wake up the next day and enter the grounds of the Treffen, in this case the Phoenix Club, where we get settled before we meet for an Einmarsch (we march “in”) to a large field usually, where we hear from the host leaders, the Donauschwaben group leaders, and many venerated people who are interested in keeping the culture alive! YES, the speeches! We love them, while our children, youth and adult performers stand proudly alert with our city banner. Following that is the Friendship dance. NEXT, there are 2 venues, a tent and a hall, plus grounds where there are scheduled performances for all of the dance groups, and any groups who come from overseas. Those of us who are there to watch, run from tent to hall and back with our beer, and potato pancakes, and Bienenstich kuchen in hand to see our favorite dancers, and Musikanten, and bands and visit with faraway friends, including dance group and band from Hungary! There are often trinkets, and trachten (costumes) to purchase. And often there is a space to display historical pictures and items from our ancestral homes. Continued on page 24 PAGE 20 www.germanstl.org / Deutscher Kulturverein The American dance program from the Jugendgrupppe Europa tour, as well as the traditional dances were performed at the Tag der Donauschwaben.

ALL of this continues for the 2nd day of the Treffen, Sunday. And then ends with a dance party in the tent for everyone, but is particularly enjoyed by our young people. THE last day, Monday, we wake to face reality once again; boarding planes, and checking out of hotels, tipping our hotel staff nicely as we kept them busy all night with our partying. BUT, for those who stayed, this year we were treated by our hosts to a day at the beach and in the cool (64 degreee) waters of the Pacific complete with hotdogs and snacks! THANKS to all who came to LA to represent our German Cultural Society and our St. Louis Donauschwaben! We had a good time seeing all the groups, and having a good vacation!

Volume 15.3 / Deutscher Kulturverein / www.germanstl.org St. Martin’s Day in Germany St. Martin’s Day (Martinstag) on November 11 is a religious observance in Germany that is particularly popular with children. It is dedicated to St. Martin of Tours, who was known as a friend of children and a patron of the poor. It celebrates modesty and altruism - both values associated with the Saint. This holiday originated in France, and then spread to England, Germany, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe. Since the holiday was traditionally followed by a fast that lasted until Christmas, many St. Martin’s Day traditions center on food. Many children build their own lanterns in the run-up to November 11. In the evening on St. Martin’s Day there are lantern processions (Martinsumzüge or Laternenumzüge) in towns and cities all over Germany. They are often led by an actor impersonating the Saint, dressed up as a Roman soldier riding on a horse. At the end of the procession people gather around a large bonfire (Martinsfeuer) to sing songs dedicated to St. Martin, eat pastries, and drink mulled wine (Glühwein). Many Germans celebrate St. Martin’s Day with a festive meal where roasted goose or duck (Martinsgans) is served. Saint Martin of Tours (316 - 297 CE) started out as a Roman soldier, but was later appointed the third Bishop of Tours (France). According to lore, he was a modest and altruistic man. Children are taught the legend of his saving a homeless person from freezing to death by giving him half of his cloak. The tradition to eat a goose (today often replaced by a duck) on St. Martin’s Day is thought to be based on the medieval tax system. November 11 was pay day, and often the tax debt was paid with a goose, so this may be the reason geese play such an important role in legends about the Saint. Another popular story is about a flock of geese who betrayed Martin’s hiding place as he was trying to hide from the people of Tours when they wanted to make him a bishop. St. Martin’s Day is not a public holiday in Germany. Offices, banks, schools, and business are open as usual. Public transport runs on a normal schedule, though the lantern processions may cause minor delays. PAGE 28 www.germanstl.org / Deutscher Kulturverein PAGE 29 / Winter 2015 . Volume 15.3 Winter 2015 .
