The New Ulm Turner Hall or simply Turner Hall (German: Turnhalle) is an 1873 two-story gymnasium, rathskeller, and social club created by German-American Turners who helped settle New Ulm, Minnesota in the mid-nineteenth century. The building is a symbol of the city's founding, its German-American heritage, and a once-common German immigrant organization. According to the New Ulm Chamber of Commerce, the Turner Hall is the oldest bar and gymnasium in Minnesota still in operation.
