Overview and metadata sections
The Women’s Auxiliary (Auxiliary) was founded as the Frauen-Hilfsverein in May 1900. The founding president, Mrs. Antonie Ehrlich, had long been an active member of the German Society, and she and her friends immersed themselves in the charitable activities of The Society. Several ethnic organizations in the community had Frauenvereine and it was natural that Mrs. Ehrlich and a core of women saw the opportunity to be more effective if they were able to raise, manage and direct their funds independently of direct oversight as partners of the German Society of Pennsylvania (GSP). The GSP building, at that time just over 10 years old, was to be their headquarters. The women met and conducted business meetings and social events there. As such, the members of the Auxiliary considered the GSP building their home and contributed to the operation of the GSP. Spouses of at least some of the members were active on the Board of the GSP. Thus the Auxiliary was an affiliate of the GSP with the exception of the years 2002 through 2005 when the Auxiliary was expelled from the GSP.
Fundamental to the Auxiliary has been charitable work and all activities were organized with the need to raise funds for relief of the needy. In the early part of the 20th century, charity was administered to individuals who applied to various organizations known to provide aid for the sick, elderly or indigent. Members of the Auxiliary assumed responsibility for assuring that those who asked for help were truly in need and, when help was extended, cases were monitored. The population of Philadelphia was clustered closer to what is now center city. It appears that by the 1920s both the state and city government were involved in seeing that needy people were provided some level of assistance. A network of providers worked together to assign the needy to the most effective provider. When World War I ended in Europe, the GSP and the Auxiliary began a program to provide victims of war in the German- speaking lands with some of the basics needed for survival. The Auxiliary continued this effort faithfully for much of the decade of the 1920s. All the while, those in need in the local community were not ignored, and the women continued to raise funds to sustain all these efforts with social events and the Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Bazaar). By the 1930s government-supported charity was ever more involved in the needs of the poor and indigent in the city. The Auxiliary worked in coordination with public agencies and religious charity groups. After World War II, the Auxiliary again responded to needs created by war devastation. As was done after WWI, the effort was again in concert with the work of the American Friends Service Committee. One of the Auxiliary presidents of the early 1950s, Mrs. Marian Linke, actively engaged in war relief not only with the organization before and during her term as president that began in 1951, but she was also an advocate for the victims of war at the US Government level by working to have the weight limit of postal packages raised from 14 to 22 pounds. Americans with relatives and friends in Europe packed food stuffs and clothing at home to mail via parcel post to the suffering, and the increase of 8 pounds per package helped both the sender and receiver. This minor fact may be lost now in the mists of history. The mountain of packages, lovingly packed by individuals and mailed to family and friends, were eagerly awaited and, in some cases, survival itself depended on them. But even as the energies of the ladies of the Auxiliary were directed to aid for central Europe, our government’s welfare efforts slowly displaced the role of the Auxiliary in charity to individuals that by the year 2000 became nonexistent. Whenever an individual in need is brought to the attention of the Auxiliary, this is dutifully considered because the mission of benevolence continues. But individual appeals became difficult to screen properly and by the decade of the 2000s, there were no cases of charity of this kind being supported. Instead the Auxiliary chose to direct its funds to charities that operated in the spirit of providing a hand-up and also to groups that promoted cultural heritage.
The Yearbook of the GSP for 1952 notes the Auxiliary inaugurated a student prize in 1951 to honor Henrietta Keller, at the close of her term as president, and the prize was to be designated for a graduating student in German at the University of PA. During the 1950s the Board of the Auxiliary realized that the mission, defined as charitable, was not full enough. Therefore the corporate charter, as registered with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was modified so that students of the German language could be helped. In the 1950s German, as a foreign language, was taught in all area high schools and universities. It could not be anticipated that by the end of the century German would no longer be taught in most high schools, and some universities would no longer offer it. In the 1950s with the influx of post-war German-speaking immigrants to the US - due in some measure to displacement of ethnic Germans from their homes - there was a healthy vitality in the German American community in the Philadelphia area. The immigrants provided a new generation to the various German clubs and societies, and some arrivals even founded new Vereine and organizations.
After Presidents Antonie Ehrlich and Henrietta Keller’s terms, totaling just over 50 years, the early 1950s saw Marian Linke and Elizabeth Kuhlmey assume short terms. Then Maria Huberti held the office from 1957 until 1978. When she retired and Mrs. Barbara Reiniger presided, she and her Board realized that the membership was aging and if no steps were taken, the organization might end with their generation. Although welfare and scholarships were still the primary mission, the Board, at this time, took on the role of missionaries and invited the younger women they knew to come out and consider joining and, even more importantly, become active in the Auxiliary. Since it was the early 1980s many of these women were busy in the workforce and weekday afternoon meetings and events were not possible for them. At this time, the Board made the decision that meeting and event dates had to change in order to accommodate the schedules of the demographic they sought. It worked and about 10 to 15 women in the 35 to 50 year age group became active members by 1985. That was the year that Renate Genieser, one of this younger cohort, became president giving new energy to the direction of the Auxiliary. Dr. George Beichl was GSP President and with his support the GSP and the Auxiliary affected a vital partnership. The primary fund raiser of the Auxiliary, the Christmas Bazaar, was changed in a way to make it more appealing. This and other lesser opportunities to raise money provided funds for welfare and scholarships. Around the time of the 300th Anniversary Celebration of the first arrivals of Germans in Philadelphia in 1983 – 13 families led by Pastorius who settled in Germantown - the Steuben Parade group sponsored an annual weekend in August at Penn’s Landing to celebrate our German heritage. Many of the German organizations in the area participated. The GSP provided volunteers to assist in setting up a booth for the weekend that the Auxiliary used to showcase the GSP and sell merchandise. It was a lively event that continued to attract visitors until the early 2000s, when it was discontinued partly because of the high cost of insurance (beer tent) and rent.
Renate resigned from the presidency, after 10 years in office, in 1995. Her term was characterized by continued attention to the Auxiliary mission, and she was tireless in attention to detail and the integrity of the organization. Doris MacPherson became president in 1995. A year later in 1996, the Auxiliary was the beneficiary of bequests by members Gunda Hack ($25,000) and Minna Werner ($10,000). Mr. Bernie Freitag succeeded Mr. Beichl as president of the GSP in 1993. The Horner Library initiative to preserve books and also rehabilitate the library space was in its planning stages. Funds had been raised for both projects. The funding for rehabilitation of the library space fell short of need. The GSP also experienced shortfalls in operating expenses. Freitag put pressure on the Auxiliary for money in excess of their annual Auxiliary donations. The Board of the Auxiliary noted that the GSP did not always spend its money effectively, and they were unwilling to contribute money for projects that appeared poorly thought out. The Auxiliary did, however, note that they could make an important contribution to the interior of the GSP building by restoring furnishings and artifacts so many of which were shabby, while the GSP focused on the larger projects. Eventually, this direction was not welcomed by the Board of the GSP and ultimately led to the exile of the Auxiliary in early 2002. Meanwhile, the Auxiliary, now deprived of its home and ability to raise funds, continued with its mission of welfare and scholarship assistance in the period that extended through 2004 when the GSP elected Mr. James Mundy as President. Mundy, in his election platform, promised to bring the Auxiliary back to the GSP.
During the time of exile the Charter of the Auxiliary was revised and new Bylaws were adopted. In 2006 with the Auxiliary now back in its home at the GSP, Christel Tillmann was elected President. Christel has been successful in creating a warm working relationship with the GSP. Members undertake leadership of and staffing for some GSP events. Scholarship and welfare disbursements have increased, and significant funding has been given the GSP to assist with important projects undertaken by the current administration. The Auxiliary has reason to be proud of its contribution to community welfare, scholarships and awards, and the GSP. As of this writing (2013), the Auxiliary continues as a vital organization of self-motivated women.
The Women’s Auxiliary was founded in 1900 to serve as the charitable arm of the German Society of Pennsylvania with particular emphasis on charity for families in distress in the Philadelphia area. German immigrants poured into the city where labor was needed for the expanding industry. Charity in the 19th and early 20th century was provided by individuals, churches and charitable organizations such as the German Society. After the First and Second World Wars the Auxiliary engaged in war relief to German speaking lands directly and in cooperation with Quaker relief agencies. As state and federal government undertook more and more welfare work in the city, the auxiliary charter was changed in the 1950s to provide scholarship aid to students who majored in German language study. The records include annual reports, minute books, treasurer’s reports, fundraising materials, receipts, letters, and miscellaneous items. There has been no consistent approach to record keeping through the period encompassed by the materials. Box 5 that follows the 2000-2009 files contains photographs and ephemera. Most of the photographs are from the period of 1980 on that were donated by several members of the Board for this archive.
The records are grouped chronologicially by decade from Series 1 (1900-1909) to Series 11 (2000-2009); and series 12 comprises photographs and ephemera.
Assembling, filing, and indexing this collection began in 2011 under the leadership of Christel Tillmann, who consulted with GSP Library staff to develop methodology. Archiving supplies were provided by a grant to the GSP Library by the Max Kade Foundation. Librarian, Dr. Violet Lutz and GSP Library Chair, Dr. Maria Sturm provided direction to the effort. Christel Tillmann organized the Archiving Committee and provided office space for the Auxiliary volunteers to work through 110 years of paper records. An invaluable service was done in transcribing the early minutes of the Auxiliary that were hand-written in old German script that cannot be read by those who are untrained. Archiving volunteers were members: Christa Jeschonnek, Katharina Kappils, Doris MacPherson, Gretchen Mulligan, Maria Neitzel, Margot Sawicki, Hannelore Schill, Helen Schutz, Edith Schwab, Doris Simon, Christel Tillmann, Hella Volgenau. Transcribers of the early minutes of the Auxiliary were members: Käthe Marx, Hannelore Schill, Doris Simon, Hedi Zutter.
