Marienthal Clubs and Associations
The
highly developed workers’ culture of Marienthal can be observed in the
intensive activities of clubs and associations: theatre groups,
singing-clubs, musical societies, and, of course, sport clubs. Other
associations were, for example, the workers’ co-operative society, the
Consumers’ Association, founded in 1864, and the fire-brigade of the
Marienthal factory, installed in 1876. The Marienthal textile factory
even erected an own dance and theatre building in 1881 (pulled down in
2004) for the workers’ theatre group Dilettante Union »Thalia«, founded
in 1866.
