American Consulate Open Day

In honor of the 50th Birthday of the American Consulate building, Consul General Eric Nelson invited all American citizens in Bavaria and their families to an Open House on the lawn of the American Consulate General. AAUPW was represented there, among other services and organizations such as Social Security, the IRS, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service, Voter Registration and the Ausländeramt. Consulate staff grilled hamburgers and hotdogs for sale along with other American treats to raise funds for community projects. The curator of the Sep Ruf exhibition at the Pinakothek der Moderne spoke about the Consulate building and its famous architect. There was also an exhibit covering fifty years of Bavarian-American relations and a video of the celebrations of the new American Embassy in Berlin.
