Banater Hall Ballroom
The structure was built in 1925 by Oliver Chamberlain at a cost of $175,000. The Hall was run by a German Organization - Banater Hallen Gesslschaft - and was a center for the local German population. The inauguration of the "Banater Hall" - home of the Banater Singing Society in Cleveland - took place on July 4, 1926. During The Depression of the 1930's, the Banater Hall Co., went bankrupt due to financial losses and membership reducations. In 1939, significant revisions of the Society's statutes concerning membership, benefits and obligations led to a "New Banater Hall" which became the first home of the Society of Donauschwaben in Cleveland after WWII.  (information provided by Lonny's Ballrooms)

  The hall was run by a German organization, Banater Hallen Gesslschaft and German weekly Heimatspost Die has its offices in the building.

  Nominated for National Register of Historical Places.  This structure, built in 1925 at the cost of $175,000 was a center for the German population.

Provenance/Processing

The papers of the Erster Deutsch-Ungarischer Unterstutzungs Verein (EDUUV), or the Banater Benefit Society, were deposited in the Immigration History Research Center in May 1966.  They were a gift of Matthias Bohr, a long-time officer of the Banater Benefit Society, and were secured through the efforts of Professor Timothy Smith, then a member of the University of Minnesota Immigrant Archives Committee.  The collection consists of 17 legal size folders, incorporating the minutes, financial reports and records of the EDUUV / Banater Benefit Society and Banater Athletic Club as well as various printed publications commemorating the history and achievements of these and other German-American organizations in Ohio and Pennsylvania.  The collection was processed in 1975-1976 by Paul Kelley and Kermit B. Westerberg.  

Biographical Sketch

The EDUUV was a mutual aid society established by seven young men in Cleveland, Ohio, on May 15, 1911.  The membership consisted primarily of Roman Catholic German Americans who had emigrated from the eastern part of the Banat, in what is now Yugoslavia and Romania.  They were descendants of Swabians who settled in the Banat in the 16th and 17th centuries and who began emigrating to the United States in the late 1800's.  As a mutual aid society, the organizations provided sick benefits of $7 a week, for which members paid $.50 a month, and death benefits or insurance payments of (originally) $200 for which eligible members (over 40 years of age) paid $1 a month.  The latter benefits, called the Sterbe Casse, were intended to cover minimal burial expenses incurred by families of deceased members of the Society.  These represented rather substantial benefits at the time, as the daily income of a typical worker did not exceed $1.50.  Although the Society was originally intended to serve a male membership, women were admitted in 1912 and received the same privileges and obligations as men.  Between 1911 and 1961 the Society reportedly paid its members $54,289 in sick benefits and $56,000 in death benefits.

Other German-speaking immigrants who settled in the Cleveland, Ohio, area belonged primarily to a second mutual aid society, the Greater Beneficial Union of Pittsburgh.  Although some of the Banater emigrants also joined this Union, the vast majority maintained exclusive membership in the EDUUV.  Over the years between 1911 and the mid 1920's the "Banaters" also formed a number of educational and recreational organizations, which, although administratively separate, went under the Banater name.  One example is the Banater Athletic Club, founded on September 1, 1921, whose minutes from 1922-1930 comprise a part of this collection.  Other Banater organizations included women's societies, men's and women's choirs, youth groups, and the like.

Characteristic of the Society's history up to the early 1930's was the expansion of its membership and total financial assets.  Contacts were also made with other German-American organizations in Ohio and throughout the American Midwest regarding the exchange of members and the formation of umbrella organizations.  The Depression of the 1930's, however, left its mark on the Society in terms of financial losses, the bankruptcy of the Banater Hall Co., and membership reductions, all of which led, in 1939, to a significant revision of the Society's statutes concerning membership, benefits and obligations.  The twenty-year period between 1940 and 1960 (the latter marking the last entry in the final volume of Society minutes in the collection) is one of internal consolidation among the various Banater organizations, where the planning and financing of a new Society hall, the adoption of measures for European relief in the wake of World War II, and the quest for new membership assume significance for the ongoing life of the Society.

The Erster Deutsch-Ungarischer Unterstutzungs Verein celebrated its fortieth anniversary in 1951: the program issued on this occasion (see Folder 16) carries an advertisement to the effect that the "Banater Klub" (Deutsch-Ungarisches Heim) of Cleveland is the official home of eight organizations.  These are: The Erster Deutsch-Ungarischer Unterstutzungs Verein; the Banater Damen-Chor; the Banater Maenner-Chor; the Banater Civic League; the Banater Frauen Club; the Banater Sewing Circle; and the Greater Beneficial Union, Districts 258 and 70.

On October 1, 1953, the official name of the organization became the Banater Benefit Society, thereby conforming to the names of the other Banater clubs and associations.

Pre-eminent among the Society's officers over the years since its founding is Matthias Bohr, the donor of the collection, who served both as President and Secretary for long periods of time and.also filled the position of Secretary of the Banater Athletic Club.
