The American House was established in Cincinnati after WWI to welcome immigrants to the area. The author of the article, Herman Ahaus, was a German immigrant who came to Cincinnati in the 1920s. His article provides insight into the life and time of a recently arrived German immigrant.) I came to America because America is the land of opportunities. I had heard and read that every young man and woman who has a good will and ambition to work can make a living, but he can also save some of his earning and thus have a certain degree of independence and also insure himself against poverty in old age. I therefore decided to make a change and try my fortune in this world-famous land of liberty. I have not been disappointed in my expectations. Prussian Army Pipe Here in America every man has the same opportunities to make a Recently, the German Heritage Museum received a 19th century success and everyone can get an education without distinction of pipe that was donated by Sandra Winston who is from Cincinnati race or religion. Education is not only for the favored few like in but now lives in El Paso, Texas.

Thanks to Sandra Winston for this recent Germany is suffering terribly from its effects. It is almost impos- donation sible to earn a livelihood there. Under present conditions I could have worked for ten years and never gotten any further in life. I felt that my fortune was across the ocean. Upon my arrival in Cincinnati, I received a wonderful reception from my relatives, especially my cousins showed me every mark of kindness and affection and helped me in every possible way to get started here. I like to go to school at the American House, and I greatly appreciate the kind welcome extended to every foreigner. I have an excellent teacher who is very kind and considerate; she makes the lessons so easy and interesting that I feel I shall learn a great deal there. Everything in school is so pleasant and I enjoy especially the little social gatherings arranged by the American House every month.

An entirely new restaurant in the old Wertheim’s Location www.munichcincinnati.org Das Deutsche Haus – Athenaeum, 100 Years Forward On Thursday, 22 February 2018, the Indiana German Heritage Society (IGHS) unveiled a half-size replica plaque bearing the original name of the Athenaeum:Das Deutsche Haus, the German House. The public ceremony took place at 5:30 PM at the west entrance of the Athenaeum at 401 East Michigan Street, featuring music performed by the Indianapolis Maennerchor. This was followed by a public reception in the Damenverein Room. The program concluded with a dinner in the Willkie Room at the Athenaeum. The dinner recreated the menu of the 22 February 1918 dinner meeting at which the name “Das Deutsche Haus” was replaced by the “Athenaeum.” After dinner speakers were Dr. Giles Hoyt and William L. Selm, emceed by Heinz Roesch, president of IGHS. An honored guest was a representative of the Federal Republic of Germany from its Chicago Consulate.. The plaque unveiling ceremony commemorated the original German name of the landmark building on the centenary of the name change on George Washington’s Birthday during the First World War. The original German name, emblazoned on a tablet above the west entrance, was a casualty of war. The owners of the building bowed to the demands of the Marion Council for Defense and The Indianapolis Star that Das Deutsche Haus should have an “American name.” Other German buildings, clubs, and churches capitulated as well. The United States declared war on the German Empire on 6 April 1917. A culture war was unleashed on the home front against German-Americans with the goal to exterminate the German language and culture in the U.S. German was the second language of the country, state, and city. The war unleashed what writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr. described as a “hatred of all things German.” The Athenaeum was designed by Bernard Vonnegut of Vonnegut & Bohn Architects in the German Renaissance Revival style. It originally was the home of the Socialer Turnverein, one of the nation’s oldest (1851) gymnastic societies. It also housed the Musikverein, Deutscher Klub, German- American Civil War Veterans Club, Damenverein, and other liberal German societies. It was designed and built with a gymnasium, theater, auditorium, meeting rooms, bowling alleys, library, restaurant/tavern, and a Biergarten. It was a popular convention center, music venue, and public meeting place. The Turners offered gymnastic classes and other activities for men, women, and children. Architect Bernard Vonnegut was the grandfather of the writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr. From 1907 to 1970 the building also hosted a college—the Normal College of the North American Gymnastic Union. This college, founded by Ger- man gymnasts in 1866, continues today as the Indiana University School of Physical Education of IUPUI. Now in its 152nd year, it is the nation’s oldest school of physical education. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark, the National Park Service’s highest honor, in 2016.The Athenaeum is owned and oper- ated, since 1991, by the Athenaeum Foundation, Inc., a not -for-profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of the building. The Foundation suc- ceeded the original owner, the Socialer Turnverein Stock Association. The building today houses the YMCA at the Athenaeum, Young Actors Theater, Indy Metro Church, Athenaeum Turners, Indianapolis Maennerchor, Indiana German Heritage Society, Max Kade German-American Center of IUPUI, Indianapolis Baroque, Coat Check Coffee, the Rathskeller, and others. The Indiana German Heritage Society is a statewide, not-for-profit organization, founded in 1984 for the purpose of the discovery, study, under- standing, sharing, preservation, and celebration of Indiana’s rich, deep, and diverse German heritage.

  • The Musical Legacy of Theodore Thomas by Joseph E
    Cincinnati's successful wooing of Theodore Thomas in 1878 was acclaimed as a cultural triumph. This majestic pose strikingly resembles the statue of the Maestro in the Music Hall foyer. The Musical Legacy of Theodore Thomas by Joseph E. Holliday hen, in 1878, the officers of the newly-organized College of Music of WCincinnati secured Theodore Thomas of New York City as the school's first musical director, it was regarded as a cultural triumph. As the Albany (N. Y.) Journal said, "Cincinnati danced hornpipes over the capture of Theo- dore Thomas."1 The local newspapers proudly printed the congratulations from the press of other cities on the acquisition of this prize musical person- ality.2 As for Thomas's own reaction, he was weary of the continual tours and travel which he found necessary to keep his orchestra personnel employed, and he looked forward to "settling down."3 He also welcomed the financial security insured by an annual salary of $10,000. Thomas was highly enthusi- astic about the challenge and opportunities in Cincinnati: "its good geograph- ical location" for a music college, its considerable professional talent for a symphony orchestra, and "the first-rate summer garden business for the sum- mer employment of musicians."4 Thomas later wrote that "music had been a large part of the daily life of the Cincinnati people, and the city at that time ranked second only to New York, Boston, or Philadelphia in musical achieve- ment."5 When Thomas assumed direction of the college he was no stranger to the city. He had started his western orchestral tours in 1869, blazing a trail so frequently traversed that in music history it has been called "the Thomas Highway." Cincinnati was an important stop on this highway.
