Incorporated in 1928, the Deutsches Haus was formed as a benevolent and social organization that evolved from the Deutsche Gesellschaft von New Orleans, a group that provided support for the numerous German immigrants in the New Orleans area.
The Deutsches Haus has grown into an organization with a mission to celebrate and foster the rich culture, musical heritage, language and history of the German people. It also has one of the largest private archives of German memorabilia in the country, which contain records from various German consulates, local German newspapers, genealogical records and more.
On the last weekend of September and every weekend during October, visitors can enjoy a piece of Germany in the heart of New Orleans at the Deutsches Haus in the Rivertown section of Kenner.
