KULTURGRUPPE
Group History:
The Kulturgruppe (DKG) began in 1981 as a group of people that were too old for some groups and too young for others. They wanted to create a group where people age 21 and older could dance together as a group and pursue other cultural goals. The DKG was founded in order to perpetuate the culture and customs of the Donauschcwaben German-American Cultural Center through events, dances and active participation at Cultural Center events.
