Saturday, April 9, 2022
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 the Czech Republic 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 experiences in homeland on Heritage Tours showing many photos of what is seen there today and compared to photos and information from former times. Enjoy learning about this scenic, cultural region of Central Europe with its exciting history!
Join us for fun conversation, “Gemutlichkeit.”
Perhaps learn something about your ancestors.
Do some family research.
Enjoy treats and refreshments.
