FROM HISTORIC SETTLEMENT TO THEME TOWNS: EXAMPLES OF “LITTLE GERMANIES” IN AMERICA A Thesis in German by Dirk Lehmann © 2007 Dirk Lehmann Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 The thesis of Dirk Lehmann was reviewed and approved* by the following: Francis G. Gentry Emeritus Professor of German Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee A. Gregg Roeber Professor of Early Modern History and Religious Studies B. Richard Page Associate Professor of German and Linguistics William Pencak Professor of American History Daniel L. Purdy Associate Professor of German Adrian J. Wanner Professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT Among America’s most successful cultural and heritage tourism destinations are towns with a distinct and identifiable German character or theme. These “Little Germanies” are popular tourist destinations because of their historic and architectural ambiance and the natural beauty of their location. They are “German in every particular,” just as their visitors demand it. A multitude of special events and celebrations add to their popularity and success. Although they have in common their cultural theme and character, they are all very different in regards to their location, history and purpose of their founding, efforts in historic preservation, community profiles, tourism programs, and in many other respects. These “Little Germanies” can be divided into three different categories: “Historic Settlement,” “Theme Town” and “Historic Settlement turned Theme Town.” In their efforts to market themselves as a viable destination to tourists seeking a German cultural experience, America’s “Little Germanies” employ differing approaches and unique characteristics in order to sell a similar product.

Stock#: 68455 Map Maker: Duden Date: 1834 Place: Bonn, Germany Color: Uncolored Condition: VG+ Size: 11.5 x 9.5 inches Map Size Price: $ 1,800.00 Description: The Beginning of German Immigration to Missouri. Second and best edition. Gottfried Duden was among the first German immigrants to Missouri, having traveled there in 1824. He established a farm in the Missouri River valley between St. Louis and Hermann, Missouri. In 1827, Duden returned to Germany and finding it overpopulated, he wrote a book promoting immigration, which was first published in 1829. Duden's work gives glowing reviews of the lower Missouri River valley. His book compares it to the Rhineland of Germany, a comparison that would result in the area eventually being termed the Missouri Rhineland. Duden's work met with a receptive audience in Germany and sparked a wave of immigration to the area. Throughout the 1830s, thousands read Duden's book and still more made the voyage to Missouri. By 1840, more than 38,000 Germans had settled in the lower Missouri River valley. German immigrants to Missouri were often called "followers of Duden." Duden never returned to Missouri as he had originally planned.
