The Barthelmes Auditorium
The German Society built its Versammlungssaal (Assembly Hall) in 1888 for lectures, concerts, special events and general meetings of the Society membership. Today, it is a perfect setting for large dinners or parties, corporate events, and wedding receptions. The Hall was named in 1999 for Albert and Hete Barthelmes who made possible the renovation of the Society's elegant 1888 library reading room, as well as the four plaster electric chandeliers that are original to the room. The ballroom has a 13' wet bar near the main entrance with refrigeration units. Rental of the room also includes the use of 23 folding tables and 240 folding chairs, as well as a commercial-grade kitchen and a catering prep room.
