St. Paulus Kirche, Cincinnati
St. Paulus Kirche is a former German Evangelical Protestant church located at the corner of 15th and Race Streets in the Over-the-Rhine historic district of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is one block from the headquarters of 3CDC which are located in Saengerhalle. Built in 1850, it is the oldest surviving Protestant church in the city and the second oldest church in Cincinnati. History St. Paul's was formed in 1845 as a breakaway from another German Protestant church, St. John's. Immigrants from northern Germany, who spoke Low German, felt marginalized by those from southern Germany, who spoke Swabian. The brick Greek Revival building opened in 1850, sporting a drugstore on the corner to help pay the mortgage. In 1950, the congregation merged with St. Peter's and moved to Westwood to form St. Peter and Paul United Church of Christ. The property was then used by a succession of other congregations until title reverted to the city. The building was vacant after 1993. The church steadi ...

Greek Revival Architecture
The Greek Revival was an architectural movement which began in the middle of the 18th century but which particularly flourished in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, predominantly in northern Europe and the United States and Canada, but also in Greece itself following independence in 1832. It revived many aspects of the forms and styles of ancient Greek architecture, in particular the Greek temple, with varying degrees of thoroughness and consistency. A product of Hellenism, it may be looked upon as the last phase in the development of Neoclassical architecture, which had for long mainly drawn from Roman architecture. The term was first used by Charles Robert Cockerell in a lecture he gave as Professor of Architecture to the Royal Academy of Arts, London in 1842. With a newfound access to Greece and Turkey, or initially to the books produced by the few who had visited the sites, archaeologist-architects of the period studied the Doric and Ionic orders. Despite its univ ...

Westwood, Cincinnati
Westwood is an urban-suburban neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is located north of Price Hill, west of Fairmount, and southwest of Mount Airy. Demographics Westwood is Cincinnati's largest neighborhood. The population was 36,064 as of the 2020 Census. History Westwood was incorporated as a village on 14 September 1868. It was annexed by the City of Cincinnati on 8 May 1896. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Westwood's rural environment attracted many wealthy individuals, such as Procter & Gamble co-founder James Gamble. The neighborhood declined economically following World War II as poorer individuals moved into Westwood and many wealthy whites moved to Cincinnati's outer suburbs. On December 15, 2021, the Cincinnati City Council approved a proposal to create a "designated outdoor refreshment area" (DORA), an area in which outdoor possession of open alcohol containers is legal, in Westwood. If implemented, the Westwood DORA will be the city's second such ar ...

Swabian German
Swabian (german: Schwäbisch ) is one of the dialect groups of Alemannic German that belong to the High German dialect continuum. It is mainly spoken in Swabia, which is located in central and southeastern Baden-Württemberg (including its capital Stuttgart and the Swabian Jura region) and the southwest of Bavaria ( Bavarian Swabia). Furthermore, Swabian German dialects are spoken by Caucasus Germans in Transcaucasia. The dialects of the Danube Swabian population of Hungary, the former Yugoslavia and Romania are only nominally Swabian and can be traced back not only to Swabian but also to Franconian, Bavarian and Hessian dialects, with locally varying degrees of influence of the initial dialects. Description Swabian can be difficult to understand for speakers of Standard German due to its pronunciation and partly differing grammar and vocabulary. For example, the Standard German term for "strawberry jam" is ''Erdbeermarmelade'' whereas in Swabian it is called ''Bräschdlin ...
