WELCOME WILLKOMMEN
The
Goethe-Institut invites you to take a virtual tour of many of the sites
in Washington's New Old Downtown that are related to German-American history
here in the Nation's Capital. This Virtual Heritage Trail began as a contribution
to the United States' and Germany's celebrations of the millennial year
2000.
Today,
we are located in the heart of the 7th Street Cultural Corridor.
But
in the 19th and early 20th centuries, this was also Washington's principal
business and shopping district. Washington's German community had an
enormous impact and presence here.
You
are invited to stroll around the neighborhood, discover history behind
the façades, and enjoy the evolving mixture of peoples, places, and
styles that make the 7th Street Corridor the exciting place it is today.
Find
out about German-American life in the 7th Street Neighborhood
See
and hear virtual art works in the Virtual
Gallery of Washington's Goethe-Institut
Keep
up to date with the progress of the Adolf
Cluss Exhibition Project and other
joint programs with Washington's new City
Museum at Mount Vernon Square
Let
us know what you think!
With
the addition of virtual tours of German-American sites in
Chicago,
IL and San
Francisco and the Bay Area, Everywhere You Look has crossed
the country. We thank you for your comments and hope you will continue
to provide feedback and ideas.
