German-Bohemian Heritage Society’s Open House
Saturday, February 11, 2023
10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Presentation at 1:00 pm
History of the German Bohemians Heritage and Culture in the Crownlands
Many Minnesotans have German ancestors from domains of the Austrian Empire, and many have a branch of the family tree from Bohemia, an ancient kingdom whose lands make up Czechia today.
At 1:00 pm, Wade Olsen, GBHS president, will present a free slideshow. Learn what it was like for German Bohemians living in Bohemia before immigrating to new lands. We will cover snapshots of Bohemian history as part of the Austrian Empire and its relationship with Germany today. Peek at their lives and learn about their homes, families, work, spiritual life, customs, and culture.

We will review village life as seen through recent travels in homeland on Heritage Tours showing many photos of what is seen there today and compared to photos and information from former times. Enjoy entertaining stories and unexpected family connections while learning about this scenic, cultural region of Central Europe with its exciting layers of history!
Join us for fun conversation, “Gemutlichkeit.”

Everyone is welcome to do family research.
Enjoy treats and refreshments.
