OUR MISSION

The San Antonio German Club was formed in 1880 by a group of single young men. First known as the Ascension Club, the name was changed in 1890 to the San Antonio German Club following the popularity of a ballroom dance of the era, called “the German.” Since the time of its inception, with the exception of those years interrupted by war, the San Antonio German Club had presented its debutantes during San Antonio’s Social Season.
