The German American Heritage Center began publishing a quarterly newsletter, Infoblatt, in October, 1995. What began as a four page newsletter has become a 20 to 28 page publication. The first editor, Kory Darnall, published five newsletters (Vol 1, No 1 to Vol. 2, No.1) and the second editor, Robert Voelcker, published four (Vol. 2, No 2 to Vol. 3, No. 1). Harvey Prinz has served as editor since January, 1998 (beginning with Vol. 3, No. 2).
