20 January 2020 - 50th Anniversary
Last Membership Meeting

The GAMC celebrated its 50th anniversary in a final Membership Meeting. It was founded in 1970 by Germans, Americans and members of the area's Military Communities. The purpose was bringing together Germans, Americans and English speaking people of other nations to promote and foster greater appreciation of both nations traditions, customs, history and Culture. For 25 years the GAMC accomplished this very successfully.
After the drawdown of the Nuernberg Military Community the remaining members continued the activities up to today. As the number of members dropped continuously over the last two decades the membership decided that the GAMC's "Mission was completed". The meeting on 20 January 2020 was attended by 26 members, 24 of them voted for closing the club. The Lord Mayor of Fuerth, Dr. Thomas Jung, thanked the club for its 50 years of successful activities. (Photo: Gutbier)

Devided into two groups we then took a tour of the impressive power plant to take a close look at everything. It was a very informative event.

19 October 2013
This year´s wine tour was attended by 30 members and friends. The weather was more than perfect for the purpose and met all criteria of Golden October. The first stop was at the Abtswind Herb Museum. The owner Horst Kaulfuss gave us a thrilling tour and an introduction to the secrets of the world of herbs and teas. 
At Hallburg Palace near Volkach we had our afternoon coffee break outdoors in the sun surrounded by the picturesque scenery of a franconian wine valley. The tour culminated in a wine tasting session at the Mösslein winery not far away in the village of Zeilitzheim. Reiner Mösslein, head of this small franconian family winery, entertained us with his wine selection and demonstrated creativity and diversity by presenting e.g. fresh cuvee wine designed for the Young Generation or his “Franconian Single Malt Whisky”. 
After a most enjoyable tour we returned full of new and unexpected impressions of the franconian wine region and all of us were very grateful to the Friemelt family who made the arrangements for the trip.

To 27 members and family the Dürer Exhibition proved that it is worth it´s international attention. They had a fascinating tour, given by Frau Dr. Reiss of the Germanisches National Museum. She explained with competence and great engagement background and subtleties of the „early Dürer“-masterpieces. After the tour we gathered at the nearby restaurant „Zum Gulden Stern“, the oldest Bratwurst-place in Nürnberg. So its historic interior was the suitable note on which to end this fine event. Our Board member Eva Flasche had the idea and did the arrangements. Thank you, Eva!
