TURNER SOCIETY CELEBRATES IT'S GOLDEN JUBILEE
The Pioneer among the German Societies of Minnesota
was Fifty Years Old Last Sunday,
November 11th
THE EVENT CELEBRATED IN BETTING AND
ELABORATE STYLE

Sunday marked the end Of fifty
years of existence of the Turner socie-
ty of this city and the event was fit
tingly observed by the members of the
society in a three-days, celebration
that has had all the characteristics
incident to the organization, in fact it
has been something that would have
been next to impossible in any other
city in the state. The anniversary not
only marks the fifty years since the
organization of the society in this city
but in the state, as it was here that the
Turner's first set up their standard
through the instrumentality it of thir-
teen of the original settlers of this city.
j The celebration commenced on Fri
day though there was little to attract
attention until late in the evening
when the members of the society held
reception and banquet which was de-
signed to be exclusively for the mem
bers of the local organization and a
few of the members of other societies
invited for the occasion.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-11-14

pleasure to all of the members and to
the committee which has had the mat
ter in charge.
Saturday the day was spent largely
in the entertainment of those who had
come from abroad and were spending
the day in the city. A committee ap-
pointed for that purpose met all of the
trains and received those who were
expected, and they were given good
time until evening when the theatre was
crowded by the members of the society
and others of the city to witness the
presentation of the German play by
members of the dramatic section of the
Turnverein called 'Der Barenfihrer
The play was presented in very
able manner and won the appreciation
of the large audience, various parts of
it being warmly applauded and elicit
ing flattering compliments. Those who
took part in it acquitted themselves
with credit and it is said by those who
are capable of passing criticism on the
play that it was the best that the local

The place was dedicated on Jan. 26,
1901. People came from all over the
state and a banquet was served. AS
the building stands today it has cost
the society little more than $780,
1t contains a theater with a seating
capacity of 800 and a stage accommo-
dating as large troupes as ordinarily
play in any of the cities of the state.
1t has a gymnasium in the basement
large dining room and kitchen, sever
al card rooms, a lecture hall and a.
small hall that is used by the militia
company as an armory, and saloon.
A beautiful park belonging to the So
ciety adjoins the hall and in the rear
is pavilion where open air concerts,
and entertainments are provided.
The character of the Turnverein is
essentially German, but in it are found
many different nationalities. The SUI
perintendent of the Sunday school is
a Scotchman and does not understand
the German language.
The story of the origin of Turner
societies is unique and lies at the
foundation of the German empire.

and campers, who built fires about it
until, in 1866, itpassed away in smoke.
The first hall or meeting place was
frame structure built in 1853 on the
site of the present building. TWAS con-
structed Of lumber sawed on the banks
OF the river by a mill operated by the
colony and was the first building for
the holding of dances and public par
ties III the town. It stood until 1862,
when it was destroyed by the Indians.
Although work was plenty in those
days and the people had enough to eat
and wear, yet the scarcity Of money
was remarkable circumstance. Every
body who owed anyone gave orders
on someone else in payment. A man
did not expect any cash for his labor;
it was an order on store, saloon or
hotel. In the building of Turner hall
only a few dollars changed hands.
The sawmills and carpenters took their
little slips of paper and got what they
needed in trade. All the money ex-
pended in its construction was for the

There was time in the history of the
German people when they were phys
ically weak and unable to cope with
foreign invaders. At the time Napo-
leon invaded Prussia and dominated
the country the Germans were power
less to resist the oppression and
Friedrich l.. jain conceived the idea
of physical culturei as means of
developing his countrymen into a.
stronger and more enduring race.
His efforts were rewarded and grad
ually his system was embraced until
the whole empire had adopted it after
a fashion. In 1911 at Berlin the first
gymnasium was esta blished and event.
ually systematic training and exercise
were made compulsory part of the
instruction of the youth of the land.
s4The result manifested itself in the,
character of the later generations of
the German race, who have demon
strated that they are physically and
mentally capable of coping with anv
of the powers of the world.
The membership of the New Ulnl So
ciety is something over one hundred.
At one time it was the dominating in
fuence of the city, debating it's gov
eminent and electing whomsoever it
pleased. Nor was its power confined
to the city, for New Ulm for years con-
trolled the county elections.

place, they were imbued with the same
purpose-freedom from the tyranny of
the city and the encroachments of So
ciety upon their liberal ideas and So

of the city were in that sense socialists
from these two cities.
Among the first arrivals in 1856 was
Adolph Setter, who built log cabin
a little west of the present site of what
is now New Ulm and established a
primitive country store, having for his
customers many of the Indians from
what was known as the lower agency.
Here it was, on Nov. II, 1856, that the
New Ulm Turnverein had it's birth.
The Setter building was about 12x14
feet in size and barely high enough for
a tall man to stand erect in.

patches from all parts of the country,
and renditions of the Turner Hall Or

structive program. A dance followed,
which lasted until the small hours of
the morning.

The New Ulm society is the oldest
turner society in the state. 1t has a
certain standing in the societies of the
national organization that is unique
and forceful. There are in the list of
national officers three men who were
at one time members of this society.

and this item was small one of its
actual cost.
. Out of the thirteen original members
the officers chosen were, president, G.
Koehne; vice-president, Aug. Schell;
rec. secretary, E. Gerstenhauer; corr.
secretary, William Pfaender; instruc-
tor, William Hummel, treasurer, H.
Haub. OF these officers there are liv-
ing today, Gerstenhauer in Winona,
Koehne in indianapolis, Haub in St.
Paul, Hummel in Spokane. Besides
these there are only two others of the
original charter members alive, J. c..
Toberer and Ernst Brandt of this CITY.
After the Indians had destroyed the
hall and about two hundred other
buildings, there was period of three
years when the society was without a
home. Most of the men of the city
were in the army in the south and bust
ness was at a standstill, but upon their
return at the close of the war, prepara-
tions were made for the rebuilding of
the hall. On July 4, 1865. the corner
stone of a brick building was laid and

The members were called together in
the hall and listened to reading of
the names of all who belonged to the
organization and then they adjourned
to the dining room where they were
served with an excellent meal that had
been provided by the ladies of the So
ciety. The room was very prettily de-
corated the decorations including a
variety of cut and potted flowers and
flags and bunting.
During the progress of the meal the
orchestra played number of selec-
tions, and at the conclusion VIM. E.
Koch acting as POSTMASTER introduced
a number of speakers. Mrs. Henry
Engel on behalf of the ladies, society
at the conclusion of her address pre-
sented to the president of the Turn
verein purse of $500. Mr.. Stein
hauser thanked her and the ladies for
their timely and thoughtful enterprise
in few well-chosen remarks.
Among those called upon to make
remarks were Ernst Brandt and j. G..
Toberer, the two charter members of
the society living in this city, the

talent has ever produced.
The real celebration and that which
marks the day and the time of the Or
ganization of the society was Sunday
and on that day there was an excur-
sion from the Twin cities that brought
in crowd of some $50 people, many of
whom stayed over until Monday
morning, attending the anniversary
exercises in the evening and the dance
later on.
The celebration on Sunday was a
public affair and we'll BETTING the i'm
portance of the occasion. The festal
GRAFTON was delivered by Capt. Albert
Steinhauser, president Of the society.
He dwealt at length upon the purpose
and aim of the Turner societies in
general and upon the trials the local
society was forced to pass through un-
der the stress OF circumstances until it
now, upon it's tiftieth birthday ami
versary, can pass its days in peace in
a magnificent new hall, dedicated to
the purposes of the society and to the
advancement of the community in
general.

the following winter the block was
dedicated.
In 1872 what was known as the east
wing was added to the structure and
this, as well as the main part of the
building, was used for long time as a
school. The society continued to grow
until it became too large for its new
home and began to look about for
larger quarters.
It was decided in 1899 to build and
plans were asked for and finally adop-
ted calling for structure 60x1l2 feet
with gymnasium 4Ox6O feet. The cor
nerstone was laid on Sept9, 1900, amid
imposing ceremonies. Colonel Will
liam Pfaender, the founder of the So
ciety, delivered the German address
and A. J. Alvin the address in English.

On Sunday afternoon, either at Sci
ter's or at Fred Behnke's, also pub
lie resort, the settlers would come to-
gether and the topics of the day would
be debated
Old settlers distinctly remember the
large cottonwood tree which stood high
above its fellows, welcoming the
breezes of summer among its leaves
and barring its unprotected limbs to the
blasts of the winter. It was under the
branches of this tree on a beautiful
November day that tables and seats
were arranged in the open air and thir-
teen young men organized the Turner
society.
The tree was eight feet in diameter
and, surviving the Indian raid, finally
yielded to the raVages of bee hunters

practically the only place of general
entertainment in the city. The Bohe-.
milan character of the people who re-
sort there of an evening, the freedom
that. is tolerated, the provision for
amusement and the courtesy of the bar
to those who like to drink, combined
to make the place one of great attrac-
ton.
The charter members of the society
were William Pfaender, Charles Koch
ne, Adolph Setter, George Guetlich,
Henry Knieff, Henry Haub, Eugene
Gerstenhauer, William Hummel, Ernst
Brandt, J. G. Toberer, George Fem,
August Sehell, Xavier Stoffer and
William Peterman. Only seven of
these are living. Pfaender, so long
the society's president, died in the.
past year. He was state treasurer
four years and was the last of the Lin
coin presidential electors from this
state. He won distinction on the bat
tlefeld of Shiloh.
