After touring Baumholder’s old city hall, Pfc. Katarus Moore, president of Better Opportunities for Single Service Members, said it was a perfect way to get to know more about Baumholder’s history.
Assistant City Mayor Michael Röhrig welcomed approximately 16 American and nu
merous German guests in front of the old city hall before explaining to them Baumholder’s history.
Historical pictures and documents, domestic and farming equipment and tools, and a model depicting Baumholder in the year 1760 are just a few of the displays in the museum and in the historical room, located in the old city hall.
Röhrig was assisted by Nicole Bier, Göttschied Elementary School principal and member of the Baumholder partnership committee.
“The idea for this special tour was born at the German-American Stammtisch,” said Bier, who attends the social gathering every Wednesday at the Hotel Zum Stern on a regular basis.
Three of the Soldiers who participated in the tour arrived in Baumholder just one day before. Moore, who encouraged them to join the tour said, “I wanted to bring my comrades to this German-American event. There is no better way to get to know our hosts here at Baumholder and to learn about the city.”
