Indianapolis Liederkranz Herzlich Willkommen During the 1800s German immigrants wanted to preserve their culture in their new country. Many of them formed societies based on common interest one of which was singing. For 150 years the Indianapolis Liederkranz has continued to preserve this part of German culture in the Holy Cross area of Indianapolis. The purpose of the Indianapolis Liederkranz is the cultivation and perpetuation of German culture primarily through song and music as well as the cultivation and promotion of other cultural activities for its members and the community at large.
