Deutsches Haus

90 Thousand – 90 Days – 90 Years

Celebrating our 90th year!

The 90-Thousand-in-90-Days-to honor-90 Years campaign made its goal of $90,000! The campaign is to support the transition and move into our New Haus at 1700 Moss Street along Bayou St. John. Our campaign ended on September 9, 2018.

We appreciate EVERY contribution, support, and best wish, we’ve received.

As one of the oldest and largest cultural organizations in the city, we are proud of our mission to celebrate and foster the rich culture, musical heritage, language and history of the Germanic people. Construction of our new Deutsches Haus on Bayou St John is down to mostly interior work with completion anticipated in November of this year in time to celebrate our 90th anniversary in our new home.

Trivia night on Friday July 27 was the last event at the Metairie location. Events will start up at Moss Street with Oktoberfest on October 5. Regular events like Trivia and movies will resume after that.
