NEW ULM, Minn. (KEYC) — An iconic building once the social hub for live music and dancing, now in its deteriorating condition, is being considered for demolition. But the memories made inside will live on.
In 1947, George Neuwirth opened the ballroom, the “it” place for concerts, parties and weddings, fueling New Ulm’s vibrant live music scene.
“Really it was an amusement center, it was more than just a bar. Originally it had a bar and it had a bowling alley. I happened to have bowled in that bowling alley years and years ago back in the 60s,” said Kathleen Bakcer, executive director at the Brown County Historical Society.
