Pommerscher Feiertag on Sunday, July 12 in Naugart

is the Verein's annual picnic! Come join us for an afternoon of great entertainment!  A homing pigeon release, picnic lunch, a performance by the Verein's Danz Gruppe, live music, and a hike in the woods highlight our celebration of German heritage! 

Welcome!

Welcome to the website of the Pommerscher Verein Central Wisconsin Corporation (PVCWC), which translates to the Pomeranian Society of Central Wisconsin Inc. 

Thousands of Americans have ancestors from the German province of Pomerania, or Pommern.  Pomeranians may be Wisconsin’s largest ethnic German group. 

The Verein (society) was chartered in 1994, to learn, study, research, share and enjoy Pomerania’s language, customs, food, history, genealogy & music. Our website highlights current and past Verein activities and accomplishments.

Please also consider joining us!  The Verein has meetings and events throughout the year to which you are always welcome, and many residents who live outside central Wisconsin are Verein members in order to receive our quarterly newsletter, Dat Pommersche Blatt.  Click here to bring up a membership form.
