About German American Associations in Maryland

The Deutschamerikanischer Bürgerverein von Maryland, Inc. (German-American Citizens Association of Maryland) is an “umbrella” association consisting of eleven German-American organizations within the State of Maryland. The “Bürgerverein” represents the German ethnic community and is the spokesman of it and its members on a city, state and national level.

The “Bürgerverein” serves as a coordinating and facilitating body for its membership and the community as a whole by providing a forum for matters of concern and the “airing” of any grievances or disputes at its regularly scheduled monthly meetings. A community “Calendar of Events” is maintained by the “Bürgerverein” to prevent date and activity conflicts among its member organizations.

The “Bürgerverein” plans and promotes all major cultural and educational activities and exchanges with the primary objective of maintaining and enhancing German customs, traditions and culture within its own community as well as maintaining good relations with the German Embassy and groups abroad and at home.

Our purpose is to strive for a closer union of German clubs, organizations and citizens of German descent in the promotion of German culture, language, gymnastics and soccer through cultural, educational, social and charitable endeavors.
