The Rochester Schwaben Verein, Inc., was organized on October 17, 1875. The original purpose of the Verein was to create an association of good fellowship, bringing together all the Schwaben people in the Rochester area to cultivate customs and language of their native land. By 1888, they formally became recognized as an aid and welfare organization because of the concern with the welfare of its members in those early years.

After more than a century since the organization of the Verein, today we still carry on the tradition of the Verein with more than 100 members. We have the affiliation of the Frauen Club, organized in 1936, which supports all endeavors of the Verein.
