Biography/History of
Germania Hall
(This material summarized from http://www.troygermaniahall.com/index.html,accessed
4/20/16)
Germania Hall, also known as the Troy German Hall Association, originated in 1890
following a Saengerfest or Singers’ Festival held at Appollo Hall as part of the Troy
Centennial Year Celebration in 1889. Seventeen of the 21 German societies in Troy at
that time joined to purchase and renovate the Armory building as a cultural center and
venue for musical and social events. The member groups included “Men's and Ladies'
singing societies, gymnast groups, folk dance groups, sick benefit funds, German
language groups, and social groups.”
(http://www.troygermaniahall.com/InnerSocieties.html, accessed 4/20/2016)
The Troy Mannerchor (Men’s) Singing Society founded in 1872 and the Troy
Mannerchor Damen Verein (Women’s) Singing Society (founded in 1906) were active
members of Germania Hall. Both societies held annual concerts with similar groups in
Albany, Schenectady and Gloversville. They also participated in the New York State
Saengerbund Singing Competitions.
In 1952, the Armory and neighboring buildings were demolished as part of a government
low income, subsidized housing project and replaced by a new building in Lansingbergh
in 1954. Germania Hall was put up for sale 2014 and closed its doors.
