A town with baseball in its blood
Like many small Minnesota towns, New Germany has a strong baseball history. Amateur “town ball” has drawn neighbours to the ballpark on summer evenings for generations, and the New Germany Dutchmen are the city’s home team today. Players come from New Germany and the surrounding communities to wear the Dutchmen uniform.
The Dutchmen compete in the Crow River Valley League, one of the state’s long-running amateur leagues, with a schedule of weeknight and weekend games from spring into the state tournament season in late summer.
The ball park by the water tower
Home games are played at the New Germany ball park, located right beside the city’s landmark water tower. You can’t miss it. The park is also home to the annual Fire Department Ball Tournament the first weekend in August, with proceeds benefiting the New Germany Fire Department Relief Association.
