About Plattduetsche Park Restaurant
The Plattduetsche Park Restaurant & Caterers can trace its beginning to the year 1883, when the Plattduetsche Volksfest Vereen of Brooklyn and vicinity was formed. This society of immigrants from the flatlands of northern Germany (which is the meaning of plattduetsche) was created out of necessity for the welfare and support of its members. Membership in the society also provided a place to gather with other people from northern Germany to talk and preserve heritage and traditions handed down from older generations. The society adopted as its motto “Eendracht makt Macht” or “In Unity is Strength” and the symbol of the beehive – although each individual bee is small, together they can accomplish amazing things.
Good motto.......
