Folks in Wisconsin take their German heritage very seriously. Wisconsin has one of the largest Oktobrefest celebrations outside of Germany, and the amount of breweries in the area can be overwhelming.

You would really get a sense of Wisconsin’s German heritage had the First World War not happened when it did. As Germany was obviously not the most popular place at the time many of the small cities in the area notice that they were losing business because of their name. This forced many cities to change their names to something either native or Anglo.

Not, New Berlin. They realized that their German heritage made them who they were and they kept their name no matter what the consequences. In the short term this may have hurt their city, but today, it is a proud reminder of a city that knows where it came from.

Plus the area has some amazing micro-breweries.

You can find this same determination in the people who live in New Berlin, and this makes it a great community to invest in. So if you are looking to buy or sell a home in New Berlin, have no fear there are many opportunities in this thriving city. Soon you’ll be saying “Ichbien Ein New Berliner!”
