Inspiration to form the The Narren of New Ulm
came from a chance encounter with a narren group
from Germany who appeared at New Ulm's Heritagefest in 1988.

The Narren of New Ulm, are often described as
"the relatives everyone has but nobody wants to claim", They are a composite of people who give life and color to communities throughout the world. Their hometown is the village of Ganse-Stadt which is located along the river just below the rolling hills on the edge of the prairie. However, they find that conducting business from the city of New Ulm is more efficient. |
Nonetheless, each character has a story*, which makes them a legal resident of Ganse-Stadt
giving them the privilege to participate in Ganse-Stadt activities.
*To see their stories, go to: Ganse-Stadt City Directory, click on a resident for a story.

Ganse-Stadt activities include (but not limited to) teaching and promoting
the German culture and traditions through stories and music |
Their favorite activity is when they can provide fun and Gemuetlichkeit at festivals and events.
