Kolping History
In the last two months, a mountain of
information has been supplied by Bill & Phyllis
Lunnemann, Christa & John Olding, Hank Gerbus,
Mary & Ted Tegenkamp, Doris & Werner Wilke,
Jane Fitzpatrick, Gene Bertke, Ron Von Den
Benken, Cathy Weissmann, Paul Boehm, Jim &
Joyce Brown, Liz Ruether, Carol Kalkhoff, Dottie &
Carl Nissen, Joan Rehling, Trey & Cindy Seibel, Larry
Fehrenbach, Clara & George Ostendorf, Charlie &
Helen Zix, Ferd & Walburga Kappen, Joe & Doris
Ahrnsen,
Otger Kappen, Harry & Dianne
Schwietering, Nancy Ellensohn, Bev Meyer, Gerry
Kreutzjans, Ben & Regina Albers and Nancy Finke.
These people are known by most at Kolping, except
for Jane Fitzpatrick, who is the granddaughter of Ed
Lamping, a member from 1925 to 1999, as well as
the Schützenkönig in 1929. Ed carved the eagle for
Schützenfest for most of Kolping’s ninety year
history. It is a stroke of good luck for today’s
members that he also saved so many things and
that Jane has done an excellent job of preserving
the physical memories of her grandpa.
The King’s Court information is nearly complete for
the last fifty plus years. Still needed are court
pictures for Willi & Christine Gerdes, as well as all
court pictures from 1959 and before. It may not
have been the general rule to even take court
pictures before 1960, though we did find one from
1955.
Pictures of the King and Queen from King’s Ball
invitations are still needed for Frank and Vera
Rosenacker (1964), and August Breuwer and Betty
Lindner (1960), as well as any from 1959 and
before. Like court pictures, these may not have
even existed before 1962. A nice snapshot of the
king and queen would be a good substitute.
We have the names of all who were on the King’s
Courts back to 1972 and also for 1965 and 1962.
Does anyone have the name lists for the other
years?
www.Kolpingcincinnati.com
We have a picture of every president of Kolping
except for Fred Kuhn (1972), and Jack Bloemer
(1986). Can anyone help with these two? They can
be cropped out of a group shot, if necessary.
Now for the hard part - personal stories and
memories - When did you join Kolping and why?
How many generations of your family have been
involved in the Society? What are your earliest
memories of Kolping? What are some of your
favorite memories? How has being a member of
the Kolping Society changed your life and/or made
it better?
These questions and others were asked of
members back in 1991. Three of the members
from the 1920’s and 1930’s answered before the
project ended unfinished. Now, twenty-three
years later, so many memories have been lost.
Let’s not go down that road again! There is a
reason we celebrate longevity of membership in
the Kolping Society. Memories are important and
need to be preserved. Now is the time to do that.
We have a form, full of questions that we will
gladly mail to you upon your request. Hank Gerbus
and Otger Kappen have already beaten everyone to
the punch with this. Please join them in this
worthwhile endeavor.
Translation help needed – We have some
articles that appeared in the Kolping Banner in the
early 1930’s, as well as some other articles that
need to be translated to English. Anybody willing
and able to help? It’s too big of a job for Manfred
Schnetzer and Joe & Doris Ahrnsen alone!
We need some “old timers” who have e-mail
addresses, so we can pass along some pictures
with the many faces that need to be identified.
Thanks so much to all who have stepped forward
with assistance and contributions of information.
The positive response has been overwhelming.
Our contact information is below.
