About Donauschwaben Society of Chicago

The Society of Danube Swabians of Chicago is a German ethnic and charitable, educational, cultural society whose original members are mainly immigrants who came to the United States after WWII. The Society was formed to keep the traditions, culture and German language alive among its members and to foster among its youth a sense of pride in their heritage.

The Society of the Danube Swabians of the USA is principally organized for philanthropic purposes. Being that the founding members of the Society were poor and homeless immigrants, who had been given an opportunity by the United States for a better life; it became the mission of the Society to provide support to seniors citizens of the community, to reduce juvenile delinquency by providing supervised program activities for the youth and children of the community and to reach out into the community with public welfare activities.
