German Presbyterian church built by Omaha pastor Schwarz
Rev Julius Schwarz leads a effort to raise funds and gather materials for Omaha's first German Presbyterian church. Starting with 60 members and $5,000, he uses scavenged stone, brick, iron, and streetcar parts to construct a 44 by 72 foot basement church with 300-seat auditorium and adjoining parsonage. He funds wages, gathers donations nationwide, and plans a new home for his German-speaking congregation while teaching German at the University of Omaha.
