It depicts a fictional village and the common landscapes found in the farming regions of southern Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
The suspended section met three days later on November 16 to discuss its future and it decided to form the Banater Maennerchor.
August Beuchse was unanimously elected musical director and the first rehearsal was set for November 23, 1910 in Fred Schnabel's "saloon" at Germantown Avenue and Oxford Street.
Banater very quickly became the rendezvous for German Hungarians of Philadelphia, and the site at Eighth and Columbia remained their "home" until 1923.
In 1911 a school-section was created to teach the children the German language, mathematics, basic sciences, and mechanical drawing for the boys, and sewing and embroidery for the girls.
During the early Thirties, having little extra spending money, many people sought entertainment at home, and consequently attendance at social clubs dropped sharply.
In 1932 the club provided several days food and shelter in the clubhouse for a few hundred “hunger marchers" who were passing through Philadelphia on their journey to Washington, D.C. At a directors meeting on October 2, 1938, it was reported that membership had dwindled.
A motion was carried unanimously that all chartered German-Hungarian clubs in the area be contacted to discuss a general merger.
At a special general membership meeting on October 24, 1939, it was also decided that Banater Maennerchor would accept the name United German Hungarians of Philadelphia and Vicinity, which has remained since that time.
During the early 1940s, while many of the young men fought in World War II, only the junior section of the sports club was active.
In May 1946 the German-Hungarian Business Men's Association merged with the United German Hungarians of Philadelphia and Vicinity and the club acquired its current property.
Many of the relatives of club members, mostly women, elderly, and children, still living in Banat, were starved and beaten to death in the years after the war (1944–1948).
In 1961, the property at 2nd and Norris streets was sold and the organization moved to Neshaminy Falls in Oakford, where it resides today.
The original soccer team, which played only exhibition games during its first season, consisted of Mayersfeld, Ehing, Striefter, Halper, Kaitor, John Hof, Schnieider, Sadler, Koeller, Schuster and Gehweiler.
The team entered the Football Association of Eastern Pennsylvania and District and in the fall of 1923, they joined the Allied League Third Division.
In 1954, Werner Fricker joined the club, playing for fifteen years in addition to filling several administrative positions.
The league attracted several top Philadelphia teams despite the refusal of the United States Football Federation to recognize it.
Renovations were completed in 1989, adding more seating, a new roof at the grandstand, as well as a scoreboard, fencing, lighting and irrigation systems.
In 2010, the club hosted the 2010 Landestreffen der Donauschwaben USA und Kanada, and the parade was held on the field.
Every year the kirchweih group march in unison, led by the geld herr who along with his partner, carry the "Rosmarein Strauss".
Guests at this Fahnenweihe included clubs from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Washington D.C., Ontario and Quebec.
The Landestreffen Der Donauschwaben USA Und Kanada 2010, an annual national celebration dedicated to preserving the cultural heritage of the Danube Swabian Peoples, was held in 2010.
On June 27, 1965, the German Hungarians won the US National Amateur Cup with a resounding victory over St. Ambrose of St. Louis 6–0 in Oakford.
The Game attracted an enthusiastic overflow crowd of spectators,[16] and the final result touched off a celebration which rocked the area.
Although the Mound City boys were totally outclassed, and the issue was never in doubt after the first few minutes, the “Saints” refused to give up and they played hard and clean soccer, right down to the wire.
The amazingly clean play on the part of both teams made it a comparatively easy assignment for referee Buck Davidson, of Washington, D.C., and linesman, Al Heery and Bill Rose of Philadelphia.
Kereczmann then introduced dignitaries: Bob Goulker, St. Louis University soccer coach and Second Vice President of the USSFA; Gene Edwards, Chairman of the USSFA Amateur Cup Competition; Frank Marcus, Wisconsin Cup Commissioner; Helmut Schurer, chairman, E.P.
; Bob White, President Soccer old-timers Association; Charlie Colombo, Coach of the Saint Ambrose Team, who played center half for the United States World Cup Team which upset England 1:0 in 1950; and Frank Kirsch, President United German Hungarians of Philadelphia.
After the formalities and the national anthem, the game was quickly put on ice by Heinz Guckert, who scored in less than 20 seconds.
In 1988, the club was accepted as a member of the Gauverband Nordamerika, Inc. an organization which preserves and perpetuates Bavarian and Tyrolean folk dancing, tracht, customs and culture.
