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”.

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.

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.

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.

Leaves leaves everywhere. 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.

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!

Kindergarten is Back!
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!

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!

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.

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?

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.

LA Treffen 2015
Trachten are switched for summer garb at the dance party!
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!

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.
