About this product
Product Information
German immigrants began arriving to Milwaukee in the 1830s. By 1859, over one-third of the city was German. They opened schools and churches, started businesses, ran for office, and introduced professional German theater, art, and music to the city. Milwaukee soon became known throughout the United States and even abroad as the German Athens of North America. There is a reason Milwaukee is known as the city of beer and brats, why it is here that the biggest Germanfest in the country takes place, and why still today the German language can be seen and heard throughout the city. As the well-known German newspaper the Frankfurter Allgemeine stated in 2008, Deutscher als Milwaukee ist nirgendwo in Amerika (There is nowhere in America more German than in Milwaukee)."

Title: Purchase German Milwaukee (Images of America) Author: John L. Hoh, Jr. Publisher: bookideas.com Date: 7/23/2011 Arcadia Publishing has issued a plethora of books relating to local heritages. Wander on Arcadia's web site and you are greeted with a map. Click on any area and the web site brings up the Arcadia offerings related to that particular area. Some series deal with the local sports legends. Some deal with the historical or geological features of the local area. This book is part of Arcadia's "Images of America" series and details the Germans in Milwaukee. Every city has enclaves of ethnic groups. Milwaukee is no exception. French fur traders, Yankees, Poles, Irish, and others helped shape the new and growing city by Lake Michigan. But by far the Germans made the biggest splash in Milwaukee. The old industries (and ancient headstones in Forest Home) bear German names: Pabst, Schlitz, Blatz, Harnishfeger, Pfister. The German influence is also seen in the brewing industry that "made Milwaukee famous." The work ethic led to an industrial boom where Milwaukee produced huge mining equipment, tractors, large scale gears, and other items not seen produced elsewhere in the world. But beyond work is the leisure Germans brought to Milwaukee. Beer was just the "wetting of the whistle." The Germans brought their love of a fest to Milwaukee and that is carried on in the "City of Festivals" today. Germans were also interested in education and physical fitness. Schools and the Turner Society were formed to give German youth an advantage in the New World. Milwaukee Germans hosted theater, formed musical groups, and did painting. After the Civil War many Germans painted dioramas and cycloramas, most depicting a Civil War scene. This book is an enlightening look at perhaps the ethnic group with the most clout in perhaps the most German of cities in America.
