| Abstract | The Deutscher Klub (German Club) of Wausau-Merrill, Wisconsin, was founded in 1965 by Manfred Schubach (first president) and eleven others in consultation with the German General Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Chicago and other German clubs in Wisconsin; it was officially dissolved in April 2010. Papers include correspondence written by Manred Schubach, chiefly in German, between 1965 and 1971, to the German General Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Milwaukee Deutsche Zeitung, other German-American clubs in Wisconsin, and commercial firms in Germany and the United States. Topics include the founding of the club, showings of German-language films, planning and advertisements for various German-themed festivals, and the purchasing of clothing, badges, and other items for club members. A letter from 1978, written by Stefanie Geiger in both German and English, invites members of the club to celebrate the Silver Wedding Anniversary of Walter and Elfriede Born. Also included are template flyers for the club's Fasching / Mardi Gras Costume Ball, sample badges for their 1966 Oktoberfest, and a (mutilated) program for the "69. Saengerfest des Wisconsin Saengerbezirkes," 14 and 15 June, 1969, hosted by the Deutscher Klub, Wausau-Merrill. |
