| Abstract | Julius Berndt, born in Kloster Heinrich-Au near Breslau, Silesia, came to America in 1852 at age 20. In Chicago he became associated with the Chicago Landverein and the successor German Land Association. The Association established a German colony which became New Ulm, Minnesota. Berndt settled in New Ulm in 1857 and was a founder of the lodge of the "Orden der Hermanns Soehnen" or Order of Hermann's Sons. He drew up the plans for the New Ulm Turner Hall as well as the monument to Hermann, inspired by Ernst von Bandel's "Hermannsdenkmal" in Detmold, Germany. |
