About the event

"German Community Life and Traditions in Wisconsin": In-Person Badger Talk in Germantown, WI
Join us on October 14, 2025 at 6:00 PM CDT at the Germantown Community Library. This talk is a part of their Library Talk Series-A continuation of occasional talks featuring speakers from UW Badger Talks discussing a variety of subjects. Registration is not required. With any questions, contact the library at 262-253-7760.

German immigrants kept many of their traditions while also being part of the state’s multi-lingual and multi-ethnic society. This presentation will look at their organizations and clubs; music, theater, and tavern culture; newspapers and magazines; as well as events today that have a German angle, such as Christmas markets and Oktober fests, but represent a unique Wisconsin regional culture.

Presenter Antje Petty is the Associate Director and Outreach Manager of the Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies. Her research focuses on the history of emigration from German-speaking Europe in the context of global migration and the experiences of German-speakers who settled in North America and their descendants. Antje shares the resources of the Max Kade Institute through public lectures, workshops, exhibits, and other programs. She has presented to community organizations, schools, libraries, historical societies, and other audiences.
