Save The Eagle at Zion!

The magnificent eagle, sculpted by world-renowned artist Hans Schüler, is in danger. Schüler known as Baltimore’s monument maker created the American Eagle with the German Eagle at its heart to grace the entrance of the Parish House in 1913. It is said to represent the immigrant’s loyalty to their new home with the love of the homeland in their heart. Unfortunately, over the years water has not drained properly and has pooled on the balcony and migrated through the masonry and into the eagle. The entire structure now suffers from mortar loss, pollution build up and erosion.
Now in consultation with restoration professionals we are working to repair the balcony to ensure proper drainage, clean and restore this symbol of German-American unity. To that end we have secured a grant for $15,000, half of the dollars needed, to complete the necessary repairs. It is now up to us to find the matching funds to go forward. If you are interested in supporting this effort or have ideas about other avenues of fund raising or grants, please contact the office. Of course your financial support of this restoration is also welcome.
