The Peit(h)mann Family Association organises regular family reunions as well as informal family get-togethers. The reunions always take place on the third Saturday in September, and all members of the Association will be invited to attend. For our American relatives, who are not members of our Family Association, it is possible to attend these reunions. The German Peit(h)manns will always be delighted to see you there and to take you around in their area. So let us know in case you can make it to one of our reunions.
The regular general meetings of the Family Associations will be held on the same day as the reunions. The reunions always take place in locations where Peitmanns or Peithmanns used to live in the past on whom we have interesting information. These forbears will become alive in a speech given on them. If they have left physical traces in the location we will visit these traces such as buildings, paintings, inscriptions, etc. Living history!
In addition to these regular reunions we get together informally about every three years for more than just one day. These informal get-togethers are organised with the help of relatives who live there. Usually we meet in places that are interesting from a tourist point of view. In the past we gathered in Wustrow on the Baltic Sea coast, in Weimar where not only Goethe and Schiller lived, in Wittenberg which is famous for Martin Luther, and last time we visited Munich and the area around it. During these get-togethers even the most distantly related cousins get a chance to learn more about each other than just their names in the family tree tables.
The next family reunion, planned to take place in Münster on Sept. 19, 2020, had to be cancelled due to Covid-19. We will convene another reunion as soon as the pandemic situation allows it.
The reports on these reunions and get-togethers together with many photos are to be found in the password protected sector. Please contact the Peit(h)mann Family Association if you want to access that sector.
