The German Society of Pennsylvania (611 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123) presents this free event about the life of Swiss theologian Ulrich Zwingli, directed by Stefan Haupt. The film will be presented in German with English subtitles. The movie starts in 1519 when the young priest Ulrich Zwingli takes up his new position at the Grossmünster in Zurich. As he uses his sermons to criticize the infallibility, corruption and abusive practices of the Catholic Church and to question the customs of fasting during lent or the celibacy of priests, he becomes the leader of the reformation in Switzerland.
This event will take place in person only. Food and beverages will be served. Register on the website. Proof of vaccination is required. Bring your vaccination card (or a clear photo of it) and a valid ID.

Your Family Name – A Vehicle Through History (German-Amer Heritage/museum)
2:00 pm
Eastern Time Zone (ET) - Online [English]
One of the problems people face today is that the meaning and historical background of names are often unknown. Before you start digging deeper into genealogical research, you need an understanding of the historical development, function, and meaning of German surnames. Each case can present unique challenges depending on family lines and region of origin.
Dirk Weissleder has been active in genealogical research since 1982,and has lectured extensively on German genealogy and the German diaspora. He is the 2nd Vice-President of the International German Genealogy Partnership.
This event, sponsored by the German-American Heritage Museum, will be held via Zoom. A fee is charged. Register: https://gahmusa.org/product/online-genealogy-seminar-your-family-name-a-vehicle-through-history/

How Swiss German is Amish Shwitzer? (Webinar)
12:00 pm
Central Time Zone (CT) - Online [English]
Adams County, Indiana, is home to the Swiss Amish, who do not speak Pennsylvania Dutch but Shwitzer. The language sounds surprisingly familiar to speakers of modern Swiss German dialects – and yet very different. Shwitzer has preserved much of its original Bernese Swiss German vocabulary, but its grammatical structure has changed drastically. Rather than converging toward American English, Shwitzer has taken on elements of Pennsylvania Dutch.
This presentation will examine the fascinating evolution of one of America’s unique minority languages. Guido Seiler is a professor of Germanic Linguistics at the University of Zurich. His research specialization lies at the interface between historical and variationist linguistics and theoretical modeling of grammatical structure and language change. Anja Hasse received her Ph.D. Germanic Linguistics from the University of Zurich and is now a postdoctoral researcher working on the “Amish Shwitzer” project. She is interested in non-standard Germanic varieties, their grammar, and contact among them.
Registration is required. Email Antje Petty of the Max Kade Institute (apetty@wisc.edu) to receive a link, which will be sent on Dec. 8.
