ABOUT US

The "German Club of Saskatoon” was founded in 1957 by Eugen P. Boensch and a handful of immigrants who were willing to serve as directors of the Concordia Club. Eugen Boensch also became the first president of Concordia and was tireless in the promotion of the german heritage, language, culture and tradition. The members socialized at several venues all over Saskatoon until the present location was purchased. After completely renovating the old “Chicken Inn” by enthusiastic volunteers the Concordia Club opens its own premises in 1968.

The large Hall was build in 1986-1987 under the Presidency of Herb Pexa. A great effort was made to build the addition in the old “Fachwerk” Style of a “Gasthaus” in Germany. At the end of 1987 the old Chicken Inn was gutted and a beautiful “Gasthaus“ Lounge and “Edelweiss“ dining room was build. The lounge sports a large “Kachelofen” (Ceramic Tile Fireplace) and also a “Stammtisch” and a bar to give it character.

In honour of its founding president the hall addition was named “Eugen Boensch Halle”.
