WELCOME

Sunday Houses a B&B catalyst or a relatively tiny town, Fredericksburg has lots of lodging options. This town of about 11,000 boasts 917 bed and breakfast establishments, along with 1,178 hotel rooms (and 775 RV spaces).

The B&Bs have a particularly interesting history. Local historian Voy Althaus sent some information our way.

In Fredericksburg’s early days, some who lived in the country owned small houses in town where they would stay during their weekend shopping excursions and church visits on Sunday.

(These were the days before cars.)

Voy’s relatives lived a little too far out — about 25 miles — to keep a Sunday house. That trip required two full days.

Those who had Sunday houses could afford to own two homes and, even with the storied German work ethic, could afford not to work on Saturday. Voy said these folks also could be active in the town’s social life and church leadership. “Most people would have wanted to be

in town by noon Saturday so they could spend their afternoon shopping and visiting with friends on Main Street,�

Voy said. “On Sunday, they would go to church and then most likely have a meal with their friends. They would leave town in time to get home before dark.�

(This was still Indian territory in those

days, not all of whom were hospitable.) “Most of the time, they would travel in a wagon to make room for their large families and the many supplies that they would haul home,� he said.

Sunday houses ranged from single one-room structures (there’s a great example of one on the Pioneer Museum grounds) to larger rock homes. Many of those have been refurbished into either residences or charming B&Bs. We hope you enjoy our GoFredericksburg Visitors Guide and your time in our town. We hope you feel the Gemßtlichkeit, or warmth, friendliness and good cheer. Those little Sunday houses, now mostly B&Bs, add a little of that warmth.

Prost und willkommen!

EVENTS

Joining in German song Fredericksburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Arion Maennerchor will host the 2016 Texanischer Gebirgs Saengerfest.

The concert will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 1:30 p.m. at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holy Family Center.

There are seven choirs from San Antonio, New Braunfels and Fredericksburg, consisting of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and mixed choirs. Each year, a different choir hosts the event, allowing different communities to come and enjoy diverse music.

Mark Hierholzer, director of Fredericksburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two German choirs, the Arion Maennerchor and the Hermann Sons Mixed Choir, is excited to host the event as it gives him the chance to put his own personal touch on the concert. The choirs are given a song picked out by the director and on the day of the concert, the

seven choirs combine to sing that song collectively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I not only get to pick the venue with a room with good acoustics but I get to pick out the music I like,â&#x20AC;? said Hierholzer.

Hierholzer enjoys the concert as it is a chance to embrace the rich German heritage of Texas and Fredericksburg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The music the choirs sing is wonderful,â&#x20AC;? said Hierholzer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s D ÂżOOHG VHQVH RI WUDGLWLRQ LWÂśV DXthentic German.â&#x20AC;?

The concert is much different as it includes a march of the choirs into the venue with banners exhibiting how long they have been a part of the concert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a heightened experience instead of just a concert,â&#x20AC;? said Hierholzer.

Concessions may be bought near the rink, such as hot chocolate, pizza, and candy. Seating is available for those who would rather watch people skate rather than brave the slippery ice themselves.

Christmas Parade They are carousel-like structures made of wood with Christmas motifs depicted on several levels. The pyramid’s rotation is traditionally caused by spinning propellers at the top of the structure which are powered by rising heat from candles.

However, the large-scale outdoor pyramids now featured during the holidays in many German towns, rely on electricity for their powered rotation.

Also featured on the square will be Eisbahn, the outdoor ice skating rink operated by Heritage School. The cost to enjoy the rink is $10, which includes ice skate rental.

Once the sky darkens the community will be treated to Fredericksburg’s traditional lighted night-time Christmas parade.

The parade is free to watch from any block, but those wanting to get a front-row look at the spectacle may purchase $16 tickets for reserved bleacher seating.

Tickets may be purchased for those seats in advance from the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce at 997-5000 or by visiting www.lightthenightchristmasparade.com.

Every entry in the parade will be decorated with lights. @GoFred1

The parade will run from the front of the square down to the intersection of South Washington Street and back up the street so the parade is passing itself in both directions at some points.

The annual parade creates a festive atmosphere for holiday revelers, which is added to by the fact that all of Fredericksburg’s historic district buildings are completely outlined in white lights.

The Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce will host the AfterGlow portion of the parade at Fredericksburg’s Marktplatz.

AfterGlow, which is free to the public and open from 3-10 p.m. December 2, will include diverse foods, local wines, holiday shopping and family entertainment under the glow RI WKH PDJQL¿FHQW &KULVWPDV OLJKWV RI 0DUNWSODW] Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for free photographs in their sleigh from 8-10 p.m.

ribbons, trophies, rewarding bids paid at the auctions and scholarships.

For months prior to the stock show season, Gillespie County 4-Hers and Fredericksburg and Harper FFA members are busy working with their animals.

They are assisted by advisors, teachers and adult volunteers as they ready for local shows and competitions around the state.

Gem and mineral show’s deals are ‘hard’ to beat Rockhounds enjoy puns just like everyone else. For them, getting caught between a rock and a hard place is a good thing.

And, of course, due to the scarcity of some rocks, they never take things for “granite.”

Jokes aside, they take the study of gems and minerals seriously.

This year, the Fredericksburg Rockhounds Club will host the 48th Annual Hill Country Gem and Mineral Show at Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park’s Pioneer Pavilion from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 22, 2017.

Minerals, fossils, geodes, stone carvings and an extensive array of jewelry will be available from more than 35 vendors from throughout the Southwest. The club will have experts available who can identify any particular treasure.

This year, as a new feature, they will have club members who will demonstrate gemstone faceting, rock cutting and polishing.

Admission and parking are free, and they will have free hourly door prizes, an hourly silent auction, and prize drawing tickets for sale for valuable mineral specimens and jewelry made by club members.

Food service will be provided by Buzzie’s Barbecue.

The show offers inexpensive items for sale, as well as rare pieces worth thousands of dollars. Founded in 1968, Fredericksburg Rockhounds is an organization devoted to the study and enjoyment of gems, minerals and fossils.

More information on the Fredericksburg Rockhounds’ is available at fredericksburgrockhounds.org.

When the society purchased the Kammlah property in 1955, four generations of Kammlahs had lived in the house.

Between 1870 and 1924, the Kammlahs operated a general store in the front rooms.

The house is the oldest building in Fredericksburg open to the public. Each historic structure at the museum complex tells part of the story of this communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past.

The Arhelger Bathhouse, originally built as a bathhouse behind the Arhelger Barber Shop, is staged to look as it would have in the early 20th century as a Main Street stop for traveling men to get a haircut and bath.

The White Oak School recalls the days of the one-roomed country school, common before Texas consolidated its schools into larger districts after World War II. Three additional homes offer a comparison between different types of structures found in 19th century Fredericksburg.

The Walton Smith Log Cabin, built around 1880, is a typical log-stone-mortar house.

The Fassel-Roeder House, begun in the 1870s, served as a butcher shop before a kitchen, living room and front porch were added.

Furnished with household items typical of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Fassel-Roeder House illustrates domestic life during that period.

The Weber Sunday House is typical of small wooden structures built by German families who lived too far from town for one-day trips. These little houses served as places to eat and rest when families came to town for church, shopping or funerals.

Geocache treasure hunts abound in town, county Of the more than 2.9 million of these items that exist worldwide, more than 20 hide in plain sight in Fredericksburg.

Many geocaches, except for the ones too small, also have gifts and other trinkets in them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s customary, if taking one, for the searcher to replace it with something they brought.

Some geocachers will look for geocaches while they travel, while some may see geocaches in a particular place and focus their travel plans on that area. There are even more beyond city limits, along with Stonewall, Harper and at the country schools.

Geocaches are worldwide, including in countries like China, Iran and Cuba.

Sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hidden at the bottom of fences, sometimes inside trees. Other times, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the last place a person would suspect. Some are in cemeteries.

ATTRACTIONS

Going batty Abandoned railroad tunnel now features bat emergence shows through October Millions of bats can be seen within a half hour of Fredericksburg, at Old Tunnel State Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16.1 acre temporary home.

For six months out of the year, three million-plus bats make their home inside the 920-foot landmark railroad tunnel at Old Tunnel State Park.

The tunnel was originally built in 1913 and used by the Fredericksburg and Northern Railroad until its abandonment in 1941.

Brazilian Free-tailed Bats, as well as an estimated 3,000 cave myotis bats funnel out of a now-defunct railroad tunnel between May and October.

Old Tunnel State Park, located at 10619 Old San Antonio Road (around 11 miles south of Fredericksburg), is open

sunrise to sunset, 365 days a year.

During the summer and early fall months, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department hosts daily sessions to educate visitors about the bats.

Then, at dusk, viewing sessions are held where spectators can watch as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;black tornadoâ&#x20AC;? forms before their eyes as thousands of bats leave behind their roosts inside the abandoned railroad tunnel, swirling out en masse on their QLJKWO\ IRUDJLQJ Ă&#x20AC;LJKWV To better see the bats on their nightly runs, the park offers an upper viewing deck and a lower observation level which is closer to the bat tunnel and walking trail.

upper-level viewing area.

In addition, the upper viewing deck contains glass-plated biological displays aimed at educating the public on the life cycle of the bats and their importance to the ecological system.

Park guides conduct an educational program in the lower observation area closer to the tunnel about 30 minutes to an hour prior to the estimated bat emergence times on Thursday through Sunday evenings.

Cost for that program, as well as admission to the lower

trail and lower viewing seats, is $5 per person.

Due to the sensitive nature of the park, no camping, pets or smoking is allowed.

Since the program start depends upon the emergence times (which vary with sunset times), Old Tunnel State Park maintains an informational phone line to distribute updated information.

Information on estimated “show” times is available at 1-866-9782287.

More information is also available on the Internet on the park’s TPWD web page at: http://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/old-tunnel.

Picnic tables are available at the park, along with a half-mile birdwatching trail.

Visible from long distances due to its size and shape, Enchanted Rock stretches up 1,825 feet in elevation and reaches out to grab the interest of thousands of hikers, campers and other outdoor lovers who take the time to visit the 1643-acre park near the Gillespie/ Llano county line each year.

The park also is one of the best area places to see the stars at night shine big and bright. It was one of two state parks in Texas to be designated an International Dark Sky Park.

The designation means that Enchanted Rockâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lighting sources now comply with the International Dark Sky Association requirements, which not only saves energy for the park, but assures that visitors from the city experience a night sky uninterrupted by bright lights.

It also helps the area promote low-impact ecotourism in one of the Hill Countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major tourist destinations.

The LBJ Ranch is a mile east of Stonewall on the north side of the Pedernales River. It is a companion attraction to the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site, which is located along the riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern banks.

The other district in Johnson City, in Blanco County, is made up of the LBJ Boyhood Home and the Johnson Settlement.

Among the annual fall and winter events at the LBJ Ranch are Christmas at the Boyhood Home, 1920s Style on Nov. 26 and the Christmas event: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Timeless Christmas in Johnson Cityâ&#x20AC;?; 1920s Christmas at the Boyhood Home and 1860â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas at the Johnson Settlement.

HISTORY

Lightning further illuminates the large cross atop Cross Mountain as it keeps watch over Fredericksburg. The cross is lit from dark to dawn every evening. — StandardRadio Post file photo

Cross Mountain keeps watch over the city A recognized historic landmark in this part of the Texas Hill Country even before Fredericksburg was founded in 1846, Cross Mountain is named for the crosses that have topped its summit for more than 160 years.

Rising to an elevation of 1,951 feet above sea level, Cross Mountain is located on North Milam Street alongside Ranch Road 965. A sign at the entrance makes the entryway easier to spot.

After volunteer work done by The Friends of the Fredericksburg Nature Center, visitors can now walk up the hill on a stairway path to reach the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of Fredericksburg and surrounding area.

There are also two trails that circle the mountain, one at the base and the other half way up the mountain, where visitors can look at the different plant life and wildlife in the area.

No vehicles are allowed up the hill but parking is available at the foot of the mountain.

History The history of Cross Mountain reaches @GoFred1

far back.

When the early settlers arrived here in 1846, they found the remnants of a wooden cross that had been erected there most probably by the Spanish missionaries who had by then established missions in San Antonio, San Saba and other areas of Texas.

For the Indians, too, it was a landmark as it lay on the Pinta Trail, one of the oldest Indian trails in the state.

From the Pinta Trail crossing on the Pedernales River, the trail divided, with this branch following the Upper Crabapple Road in the direction of Bear Mountain and then on to Enchanted Rock and beyond.

Cross Mountain gained its name when an early-day German settler, John Christian Durst, found the old cross of heavy timbers at its summit that was presumably erected by the Spanish missionaries. He named it “Kreuzberg” (Cross Mountain), a name that has never changed.

In the summer of 1848, Father George Menzel, a Bohemian priest, erected a more substantial cross as a symbol of

redemption and civilization.

During the Diamond Jubilee of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1921, a more permanent cross was placed on top of the hill. It was constructed of concrete, reinforced steel and sheet metal. It was vandalized over the years, but was rebuilt by St. Mary’s in 1940. :KHQ UXUDO HOHFWUL¿FDWLRQ FDPH WR WKH area in 1946, the cross was illuminated.

It burns bright each evening from dark to dawn.

The park was purchased by Dr. J. Hardin Perry in the 1900s to keep it from being developed. It then ended up in the ownership of the Gillespie County Historical Society.

In 1999, the City of Fredericksburg obtained ownership of the historic landmark.

The park is now maintained by the City of Fredericksburg Parks and Recreation Department. $Q RI¿FLDO 7H[DV +LVWRULFDO &RPPLVsion marker was dedicated in observance of Founders Day on May 7, 1977, and the Nature Trail was dedicated during the 1978 Founders Day activities at the site. facebook.com/gofred1

EVENTS

Any time a good time for walk on six routes Whatever the season, any time is a good time for a walk through the Texas Hill Country.

Volkssporting (People’s Sports) in America started in Fredericksburg in June of 1976 and recently celebrated its 40th anniversary here.

The local walking club — Volkssportverein Friedrichsburg (VVF) — has established six self-paced, year-round routes for walkers to enjoy.

All six walks have been developed between 5K (3.1 miles) and 10K (6.2 miles) distances.

In addition to the four routes inside the city limits, the club has also established routes at the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park and Historic Site in Stonewall

and at the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area.

These walks are sanctioned by the American Volkssport Association as Year-Round Walks.

Check-in for all of the in-town walks is at the Windcrest Inn and Suites, 908 South Adams Street. The two rural walks both have starting points inside the park visitor centers.

At each location, participants should ask the personnel for the Walk Box, from which they can obtain maps of the walks as well as other items needed if walking for credit. The start of the walk itself may involve a drive to a different location.

It should be noted that the walks can only be done during

HISTORY

Look to the street signs for a message When the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planners picked names for the streets on the main thoroughfare, they left a special message to visitors and residents alike, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;welcomeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;come backâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Many of the city byways have large signs showing the name of the street and an illustration of the Vereins Kirche, a symbol of Fredericksburg that stands in the center of the city on Marktplatz.

The Vereins Kirche through the years has become a commonly-recognized landmark of Fredericksburg and placing a sketch of the venerable structure on the street signs was a part of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;dressing upâ&#x20AC;? for the 125th anniversary of the founding of Fredericksburg in 1971.

Among the more German names of streets is Ufer, which runs parallel to Main Street and three blocks south.

Ufer, in English, means stream bank, and undoubtedly was so named because

it runs along the southern bank of BarRQÂśV &UHHN WKH PDLQ VWUHDP WKDW Ă&#x20AC;RZV through the city.

Originally, the street that runs along the north side of the creek was probably called Bach Strasse, but was translated to Creek Street when all of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VWUHHWV ZHUH ÂżUVW RIÂżFLDOO\ QDPHG DQG marked after the city was incorporated in 1933.

It was several years later that the Fredericksburg Lions Club took on the project of giving all the streets names and purchased and installed street signs.

It was then that it was decided to name the streets running north and south across Main to spell out words.

Starting at Courthouse Square, all of the streets crossing Main to the east ZHUH QDPHG VR WKDW WKHLU ÂżUVW OHWWHUV would spell out â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Welcomeâ&#x20AC;?.

These streets are Adams, Llano, Lincoln, Washington, Elk, Lee, Columbus,

Olive, Mesquite and Eagle.

Traveling west from the Courthouse Square, the streets spell out â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Backâ&#x20AC;?. These street names are Crockett, Orange, Milam, Edison, Bowie, Acorn, Cherry and Kay. Many of the streets found throughout the city are named in honor of trees -- Mesquite, Cherry, Cottonwood, Hackberry, Liveoak, Mulberry, Apple, Orange, Plum, Pear, Pecan, Poplar, Spruce, Sycamore and Walnut.

Naturally, there is a street named Peach, in honor of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most SRSXODU DQG SUROLÂżF IUXLW There is an Elk Street and a Deerwood Street, but no deer street.

There are several named for famous native son Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, including Nimitz Street, Nimitz Drive, Nimitz Circle and Nimitz Parkway.

But, there are no Johnson streets or Meusebach streets. There is a Bunny See SIGNSâ&#x2013;ś 164

Crafted by Fredericksburg blacksmith Roy Bellows and erected in 1991 by the Pedernales Creative Arts Alliance, a local arts organization, the Maibaum is reminiscent of Bavaria where villages erected the poles for spring festivals and later used them to display symbols of the villagesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; histories, commerce, or other matters of interest regarding the village.

@GoFred1

In Fredericksburg, the Maibaum, tells Fredericksburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history since its 1846 founding with the use of images placed on different branches, or tiers.

The bottom symbols portray the March 2, 1847, peace negotiations between Comanche Indian tribes and the German pioneers. A group of settlers, led by John O. Meusebach, traveled north, deep into Indian territory and met with 15-20 Comanche chiefs. The agreement they reached allowed the Fredericksburg colonists to develop their settlement in peace.

The cowboy and dancers on the second level portray the settlers working and celebrating.

The third level represents the grapes and peaches, which have contributed so abundantly to the local economy.

The next level shows the importance of hunting deer, turkey and other wild game in the development of the colony

as well as its importance in the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s present day economy.

Also playing a major role in Fredericksburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past and present are cattle, VKHHS DQG JRDWV WKDW ÂżQG SOHQWLIXO JUD]ing in the area.

The ship and oxcart on the next level portray the transportation of the pioneers in arriving at this colony. Most came by ship from Germany to Indianola, a port on Matagorda Bay, and then by oxcart overland to Fredericksburg.

The settlers established a unique community in Fredericksburg as symbolized by the Sunday houses, which dot the city, and the historic Nimitz Hotel that today serves as the key element of the Admiral Nimitz Museum.

Two of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recognized features are represented in the UHSOLFD RI WKH 9HUHLQV .LUFKH WKH ÂżUVW church, and the cross atop Cross MounSee MAIBAUMâ&#x2013;ś 158

FACTOIDS

FUN FACTS about the ’Burg Like any other Texas town, Fredericksburg has a culture and history that make it unique.

Its location in the Hill Country, along with its German heritage, make it a popular tourist destination.

Visitors and local residents alike might not be aware of some of the facts about Fredericksburg:

▶ The Pedernales River is the prinFLSDO VWUHDP WKDW ÀRZV WKURXJK *LOOHVSLH County. It rises in the northwest portion of the county just beyond Harper, and ÀRZV LQ D VRXWKHDVWHUO\ GLUHFWLRQ LQWR Lake Travis of the Highland Lakes Chain.

The river is spring fed, is 106 miles in length and has a drainage area of 1,300 square miles. The river gained prominence during the administration of President Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, whose home on the Pedernales became the Texas White House. ▶ Some of the timbers in Fredericksburg’s oldest homes came from the saw mill of the Mormon colony, Zodiac, located on the banks of the Pedernales River in the Rocky Hill community. It was established in 1847 by about 40 families with Elder Lyman Wight as their leader. A ÀRRG ZDVKHG DZD\ PRVW RI WKHLU EXLOGLQJV and around 1853, they abandoned their settlement. ▶ The parents of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th President of the United States of America, Sam Ealy Johnson and Rebekah Baines, were married in the Gillespie County Courthouse on Aug. 20, 1907. This building is now Pioneer Memorial Library.

▶ Visitors marvel at the width of Fredericksburg’s Main Street. The settlers provided for the wide main thoroughfare

so that a team of oxen, pulling a wagon, could make a U-turn. ▶ The average summer temperature in Gillespie County is 78° Fahrenheit, while the average winter temperature is 50° Fahrenheit. The average rainfall in Gillespie County is 29.95 inches. ▶ There are abundant deposits of gypsum and granite, also serpentine, talc, soapstone and limestone. ▶ Two U.S. Highways, 290 and 87, plus Texas Highway 16 enter and exit Fredericksburg. ▶ The Fredericksburg Publishing Company, Inc., publishers of the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post for many years published a German language newspaper, the Fredericksburg Wochenblatt that was discontinued in January of 1946. ▶ Fredericksburg is the county seat of Gillespie County. It was named for Capt.

Richard Addison Gillespie, sometimes referred to as Robert Gillespie, who was a Texas Ranger and a hero of the Mexican War. He was a native of Kentucky, who died in the battle of Monterrey, Mexico, on Sept. 22, 1846. Gillespie County was created on Feb. 23, 1848, and was formally organized June 5, 1848. Prior to that it, was a part of Bexar County, of which San Antonio is the county seat.

Maibaum

tain. These symbolize the devotion of the early settlers to the Christian faith.

The 12 tree branches at the top of the Maibaum are modeled after the burr oak, a species that is notable for its stately height and durable, useful wood. The trunk and branches are wrought iron and the leaves are copper with a natural patina.

(At left) The history of Fredericksburg, since its founding in 1846, plays out on the branches of the Maibaum, located on Marktplatz.

Bravery, Honesty, Cooperation. Those are just some of the positive traits shown by early settlers to Fredericksburg. Together, they carved out an existence rich in culture and quality of life, while building the foundation for a town that continues to flourish more than a century and a half later.

Clean streets, pride in property, and respect for neighbors are a part of what makes Fredericksburg one of America’s favorite small towns.

And working together is still an attribute that pervades the city’s spirit.
