150 Years of 'Turnverein' in Davenport, Iowa

Nov. 1-3, 2002 Conference with Workshops in:
German-American Contributions to Physical Education 1852-2002, US-Low
German
"Platt" language, Genealogy, Alternative Energies, Baltic Sea
Cooperation,
Expanding the Turner Project in the 21st Century

The Institute for Low German in America will host a conference
celebrating the German-American contributions to physical education in
the United States for the years 1852-2002 at a meeting at the Radisson
Hotel in Davenport, Iowa, on Nov. 1-3, 2002.

The main focus of the conference will be the Turner Societies, who were
leaders in the effort to make physical education a standard part of
public school curricula in the United States in the late nineteenth
century. Besides their athletic interests the Turners promoted the
development of public parks and playgrounds and supported legislation to
improve conditions for working people. At the height of the Turner
movement in the 1890s there were more than 300 gymnastic societies in
150 cities around the US with over 40,000 members. Turner halls had
served as community centers, providing assembly space for neighborhood
groups, music and theater societies, unions and political groups, and
for new German immigrants to learn American ways but also to speak
German and teach it to their children.

This conference will be of special interest to American and German
historians, genealogists, Platt speakers, and those who would like to
learn more about the fascinating but forgotten heritage of their
German-American forefathers. During this weekend, German genealogists
will be available to US family researchers to read old German script and
find new resources.

A program of workshops, slide shows, lessons, traditional German cooking
instruction, folk dancing, theatre and music performances, and singing
will provide an enjoyable and educational experience. Similar gatherings
have forged great bonds linking the Old World with the New, and had
their beginning with the Low German ("Platt") conference of the
American/Schleswig-Holstein Heritage Society in Iowa in 1995.

City Mayor of Davenport, Charles Brooke, expects over 400 participants
from around the country and Germany: "Besides informative slide show
presentations, workshops with visiting German specialists, Low
German/English choir music, theatre performances, and classes on
granny's favorite recipes, the gathering will also have an Oktoberfest
atmosphere."

In cooperation with: American/Schleswig-Holstein Heritage Society; the
Schuetzen Park Gilde, Davenport; German American Heritage Center;
Society for German American Studies; German American National Congress;
Hausbarn Project, Manning, IA; German Consul General, Chicago; City of
Davenport.
