SVV Original Enzian

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Club Member Reinhard Schneider. Reinhard, known to many as Schnitzel, passed away on May 11th, 2021 after a long cancer battle. Schnitzel, was a devoted Ehrenmitglied and club member for over 50 years. He Plattlered and danced for many years and watched his children develop his same passion for the club. Please keep the Schneider Family in your continued thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Heinz Buck. Heinz was a good friend of S.V.V. Original Enzian, major supporter of the Bavarian Clubs and culture on Long Island, and advocate of the German American Community at large. Heinz, was a pivotal member of the German American Community by holding various Officers roles including President of the German American Committee of Greater New York, Director of GACGNY, Grand Marshal of the Steuben Parade (2017) and President of the P...lattduetsche Volksfest Vereen, just to name a few. He was also a long-standing member of the Board of Directors at the Plattduetsche Home Society as well as many other local German organizations. Hopefully, our 'youthful' membership within Original Enzian and the German American Community can follow in his footsteps to keep alive the "letzte Deutsche Insel" on Long Island. Ruhe in Frieden Heinz!

Wishing the Moms of Original Enzian a very Happy Mother’s Day! We appreciate all you do for our club and our families. Have a beautiful and relaxing day!

Original Enzian is deeply saddened by the passing of Adam Barthalt on April 24th, 2021. Adam was a long time friend and supporter of Original Enzian as well as the German American Community. Original Enzian and its membership have a long history with Adam. As a bandleader, Adam played at many of our events, members weddings and special occasions. Many of our dancers have fond memories of performing on the infamous Cruises and to this day many of the Dance Jobs we perform a...t are because of the relationship we had with Adam. Adam was honored with an Ehren Urkunde from Original Enzian in recognition of his long time friendship and support. The Barthalt family is in our thoughts and prayers. Ruhe in Frieden.
