When contractors complete ground-up construction this fall on the Deutsches Haus overlooking Bayou St. John in New Orleans, it will mark the end of a long homeward journey for the German cultural organization.
The original Deutsches Haus on South Galvez Street in the Mid-City neighborhood was torn down in 2011 to make way for the VA/University Medical Complex. The organization has taken up temporary residence in suburban Metairie since then.
