Celebrating trans-Atlantic Friendship in
Philadelphia, New York and Chicago

German - American Steuben Parade

There are only three German-American communities that annually celebrate the contributions of Freiherr Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben  - New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

It was Benjamin Franklin of Philadelphia who recommended von Steuben's services to General Washington during the American Revolutionary War. At Valley Forge, outside of Philadelphia, von Steuben trained the Revolutionary Army using the Manual of Arms he developed, which closely resembles the current drill manual used by the United States Army. It's been argued that without von Steuben's services, the United States of America would likely not have gained their independence.
