A Conversation with Michael Fricker

"Recently I took some time to talk with my friend, Michael Fricker, about his favorite topic: the United German Hungarians. It's also a topic that, as a new member, I am always interested to learn more about." -Mike Stirm II

A Newcomer’s Perspective, by Mike Stirm II

I first encountered the United German Hungariansโ€™ Cultural Group two years ago. I was sitting at a table with my family during Maifest at the Cannstatter. The group took the stage and began to do a partnered folk dance. I was struck by the grace of the dancers, the beauty of the music and the traditional dress. I felt pride for my German-Hungarian descent rise in meโ€”and a desire to be part of what I was witnessing.
