The German Society of Pennsylvania, located in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia, is the oldest German culture organization in the United States. Founded in 1764, to aid German immigrants, including those who arrived as indentured servants, it now promotes the teaching of the German language and culture, sponsors lectures, concerts and films, and awards scholarships.
