A Message from HinsundKunzt:

Below is a thank you message from Hinsundkunzt neighborhood initiative in Cologne:

Dear supporters in Indianapolis and elsewhere in the USA,

Our friend Hartwig Prüßmann informed you about the current situation after the flooding catastrophe in our area and how to make a donation.

Many of you helped our friends and families with a financial support in order to buy relief supplies for the victims of the flood disaster in Germany.

We would like to thank you very much!

In a few days we will publish some photos of the actions and the delivery of the relief goods on the internet at http://www.hinsundkunzt.de/katastrophe.

Should anyone still want to help, we look forward to every donation that we receive via PayPal to info@hinsundkunzt.de.

100% of all donations will be passed on to those affected.

Many Thanks.

The German American Klub hosted a very pleasant outdoor Mayday celebration on Saturday, May 1, 2021 at the GAK’s very own Edelweiss Restaurant in German Park on Indy’s South Side. This year’s Maibaum theme honored local German-American organizations, including our very own Indianapolis-Cologne Sister City Partnership Committee! The very cordial and welcoming GAK president Travis Jerde presided over the evening’s festivities. The Maibaumaufstellen was accompanied by GAK’s folk dance troupe Die Fledermäuschen, set to the the delightful musical stylings of the versatile DysFUNKtion Brass Band.
