The Columbus Maennerchor was founded in 1848 as a men's chorus by 12 German immigrants eager to preserve the music and memories of their homeland, here; in the chosen land. Through the years, a women's chorus, Damenchor and a children's chorus, Kinderchor as well as many social events and a German Restaurant have been added to the club. When it came time for the Maennerchor to move to a new home that required extensive renovations, the club approached a few local businesses to help with supplying and fabricating the exterior steel railings and decorative fencing.

Keeping true to their German heritage, the club knew they would want the steel railings and fence to be hot-dip galvanized to protect their ornate steel exterior for years to come. Once the local galvanizer was approached, they helped assemble a team to design, fabricate, galvanize and install the railings as a donation for this popular local 165-year community landmark. The contributions of the team paid off, as team celebrated together at the grand opening of the renovated club amongst beer and bratwurst.
