To preserve and promote German heritage across a spectrum of cultural activities, the American Center for German Culture will assist in the development of property at 976 S. High Street (and adjacent property on Stewart Street) in Columbus, Ohio. This will fulfill the need for a first class facility serving as a German Heritage Haus, along the lines of a design envisioned by Bird Houk Architects, pictured on this page. The vision for the German Heritage Haus includes providing a home for: German cultural events, including concerts, banquets and festivals German language instruction German choir rehearsals A bistro service style restaurant that includes German and Central European Cuisine, operated by an outside restaurant vendor A multi-media library A museum (memorabilia and artifacts) intended to preserve and depict the history and contributions of German immigrants and culture The sponsorship and hosting of activates designed to foster understanding and tolerance, such as lectures, film, travel

Grant applications and donations from individuals and corporations are being sought to enable fulfillment of this dream. Contributions to the American Center for German Culture for the German Heritage Haus may be made by checks, cash or notes.
