German History Tour of MPLS & Lunch at Gluek's Bar and Restaurant

In downtown Minneapolis, meet your Tour Guide for an insightful look at the history of the German migration to Minnesota.They influenced cultural organizations, businesses, politics, and the Catholic and Lutheran churches in the metro area. Many came from hard times voluntarily and others came involuntarily to do “hard time” as prisoners of war. Visit the Germanic-American Institute and the Assumption Church. Germans were the largest ancestry group in Minnesota according to the 2000 census. They are also the largest single immigrant group in Minnesota history. Learn about things like the Christmas Tree tradition, we all treasure, Breweries, Minnesota 13, Grasshoppers, and amazing Bakeries. After the tour, stop for a German-style lunch at Gluek’s Restaurant. Menu choice includes:

1.) Schweineschnitzle Spaetzle. Premium center-cut pork loin tenderized and encrusted with seasoned marble rye breadcrumbs. Fried and topped with a classic German-style cream sauce & fresh scallions served over buttered spaetzle with Fresh Bread, Beverage

2.) Walleye Fish n’ Chips Hand-dipped wild caught Walleye in our Gluek Pilsener beer batter & served over a mound of French fries. Coleslaw and dill-caper tartar sauce on the side, Bread, Beverage

After lunch the bus will stop at Aki’s Bread Haus, a traditional German bakery so you can purchase delicious baked goods to have at home.
