The small city of Schulenburg is located in the heart of Texas and considered “Halfway to Everywhere,” literally. It is approximately 100 miles east of San Antonio, 100 miles west of Houston, 60 miles southeast of Austin and 60 miles north of Victoria, 240 miles from Dallas and 300 miles from Brownsville. For a small community, Schulenburg has a treasure trove of things to do and see.
Plan to stay a few days to experience everything Schulenburg has to offer. If you have an appetite for some ethnic food, you can have sausage, sauerkraut, schnitzel, bierocks, kolaches, or klobasnikys. And on the weekend Schulenburg really rocks. There are several entertainment venues that provide food and live music. Be sure to pack your dancing boots! Our local wineries, near-by breweries and country stores have just about any kind of refreshment for both the young and the young-at-heart.
While you are visiting us please take the opportunity to delve into our unique local history by visiting the Schulenburg Historical Museum. It chronicles the town’s rise from a train stop to the bustling community it is today. On December 31, 2023 our community celebrated her 150th Birthday. We had a wonderful Sesquicentennial Celebration in downtown Schulenburg with music and dancing, a lighted Christmas Parade and even Santa joined in the festivities! Another museum to visit is the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum that offers interactive and static exhibits. Of course, you don’t want to miss playing with the remote aircraft at Stanzel’s. And don’t miss the Texas Polka Music Museum where you learn about the music the immigrants brought to the area in the 1800s.
An important question to ask is “Have You Painted Yet?” Schulenburg is “The Official Home of the Painted Churches,” a name given to us by the Texas State Legislature in 2005. The five churches that sit in tiny hamlets in the countryside around Schulenburg were built in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s by immigrants. The parishioners wanted to emulate the beautiful cathedrals of their home countries. As a result, the churches are resplendent with stenciling, gold leaf, tromp l’oeil, and stained glass. When you step through their doors you feel as if you have crossed the ocean to the shores of Europe. The Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce offers guided tours of these beauties so that you can learn about the history, the art, and the symbolism in each of them.
Welcome to Schulenburg. Here at the Greater Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce office, we would be glad to be of service to you.
Schulenburg, Texas is called a “railroad town,” “halfway to everywhere,” the “musician town,” “home of the painted churches,” “gateway to the rolling hills” and many others. It was founded when the Galveston, Houston and San Antonio Railway reached here in 1873. At that time, the many people in the communities of Lyons and High Hill moved to the new railroad town of Schulenburg.
SCHULENBURG WAS NAMED AFTER LOUIS SCHULENBURG, WHO DONATED THE LAND FOR THE CITY.
Schulenburg was named after Louis Schulenburg, who donated the land for the city. The community was granted a post office in 1874 and incorporated in 1875. Before the town of Schulenburg was born, English, German, Czech and other European citizens settled this area, bringing with them their religion beliefs, tools and way of life.
Another land donor, John Christian Baumgarten Sr., was one of the original “Forty-eighters” from Germany. Baumgarten built a cottonseed-crushing plant in the community and also operated a lumberyard, planing mill, sash and door factory, and cotton gin. In 1883, he opened the Schulenburg Oil Mill, which manufactured Baumgarten Process Allison Flour from cottonseed.
In 1884, the community had 1,000 inhabitants, two churches, a bank, schools, thirteen general stores, and four saloons. Schulenburg had electric lights by 1896, and in 1900, the community had 1,149 inhabitants. By 1914, it had Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, and Methodist churches and the G. E. Ruhmann plant, which manufactured steel furnaces and wire goods.
The population of the town rose to 1,246 in 1920, 1,640 in 1930, and 1,970 in 1940. In 1945 Schulenburg had 112 businesses, including two manufacturing companies, three cotton gins, a machine shop, and the Stanzel Company—a model airplane factory. Today you can learn more about the Stanzel Company at the Stanzel Museum in Schulenburg.
The population of the town continued to increase in the postwar period, reaching 2,207 in 1960, 2,347 in 1980, and 2,455 in 1990. The population was 2,699 in 2000 and 2,945 in 2015.
Schulenburg has a rich musical heritage, especially polka music, and has had several orchestras. You can learn more at the Texas Polka Music Museum.

The Schulenburg Historical Museum was established by John and Karen Wolters. John is the greatgrandson of Robert A. Wolters who started a mercantile business in Schulenburg and became one of its more prominent citizens. The building housing the current museum exhibits was the old Wolters Mercantile built in the early 1900s. The museum has been housed in this building since 1988 at the largesse of the Wolters family, but in December 2014 the Wolters estate gift-deeded the current building, and the building next door, to the museum.

GARRETT PETTIT RECALLS THE PAST AND OFFERS GLIMPSES INTO THE FUTURE
BY NATALIE STALEY
Sengelmann Hall in downtown Schulenburg is hard to miss due to its impressive size and architecture. Built in 1894, this historical dance hall has been restored to its original glory and today is a destination for both foodies and music lovers alike.
This local hotspot honors its Texas/ German heritage, as well as offering Garrett Pettit a way to continue his family legacy.
“I graduated from Schulenburg High School in 1980,” said Garrett of Momma’s at Sengelmann. “My mother and I opened Momma’s Pizza Kitchen when I was 13-years-old in a building down the street. I am 62-years-old now so I’ve been doing this for almost 50 years.”
And although Garrett didn’t stick around Schulenburg, his hometown did manage to call him back eventually.
“I was living in Austin and working at a Mexican food place,” added Garrett. “A friend of mine called and said, ‘Hey, there’s this place opening called Sengelmann Hall. Do you want to come and work?’ I helped him get things up and running and then went back to Austin. I permanently moved back to Schulenburg in 2011. I gave Momma’s Pizza a facelift and took over the business. Then the owner of Sengelmann Hall called me and said, ‘Hey, this is hard. I don’t want to do this anymore. Do you have any desire to do it?’ I said, ‘Yeah, what the heck. I’ll come in and see if I can find some help and we’ll see how it is. And that was 2012. And here I am.”
Garrett has continued to honor his family legacy through the tried-andtrue menu at Momma’s, while also adding some favorite dishes from his childhood.
“Mother and I started with pizzas,” continued Garrett. “The kitchen was literally as big as this rug, you know. When we moved to the Von Minden Hotel building, we started having a weekly buffet, along with fried fish, chicken fried steak, chicken fried chicken and stuff like that. A lot of the recipes that I brought with me were my mother’s and my grandmother’s. Soon we started adding stuff that I liked.
Above, imagine a fun night of music with this incredible period style backdrop on the Sengelmann Hall stage in the main dining room.
“My grandmother was an avid fisherwoman. We would go down to the coast, fish all day and later she cooked shrimp, fish, crab and deliciousness,” he reminisced. “So I brought her recipes over.”
In addition to the food, Momma’s at Sengelmann is known far and wide as a lively music venue.
“Most Wednesday nights we don’t have a cover charge,” said Garrett. “On Wednesday night we have local artists or people that are on the way up from Nashville and places like that. On occasion, we’ll have a bigger name band with a cover charge. Those are fun nights. They’ll eat, drink and everybody has a good time.”
Whether they come for good food and drinks, live music or both, Garrett is happy to be a part of the long history of this venue. “We’re still here and we’re still trucking along. It makes for a great story … a wonderful story.”

Walking into Tenth Frame Bowl is an experience that brings you back to the bowling alleys of your youth. The sound of pins crashing, the aroma of grilled burgers and the feeling of slick, hardwood lanes takes you back in time. Nostalgia for the bowling alley he frequented as a boy is what brought Eddie Faith, along with his wife Amy, to purchase the business in 2022.
“We were actually bowling in the Friday night league when we heard that it was for sale,” Eddie began. “I talked to Amy and we bought it.”
And it was Amy’s confidence in her husband’s experience that got her on board.
“He already knew the gist of how to run a bowling alley, how to run the back … all about it,” added Amy. “He has a lot of history here.”
A Schulenburg native, Eddie has fond memories of his time in the lanes.
“I grew up two blocks from here and was probably one of the first ones to come in here and bowl,” Eddie shared. “I remember the kids league and growing up, in the late 80s and early 90s, we had all our friends here. We rode our bikes and came to listen to the jukebox, bowl and play pool. I also worked here when I was 14 or 15. I loved working here. I loved bowling and I was very good at it.”
From top, Trips Publications’ own Natalie Staley plays a game while on assignment at Tenth Frame Bowl; orange you going to come bowl with us? Bowling balls are waiting for you to come give them a roll down the lanes.
After the couple signed off on their new venture, many questioned if there would be updates or renovations to the place.
“We wanted to keep it like it was when it was built in 1985,” Eddie continued. “I didn’t want to change that feeling but we had to repair some things here and there. We also installed TV screens. I would love to get neon lights for the kids and hopefully we can have a kids league. We’ve hosted some teen nights in the summer that were fun. Our main goal is to aim towards kids because there is not much for them to do in Schulenburg. We’re trying to create a fun, safe space for them.”
A big part of the fun also comes in the form of live music either in adjoining Adolf’s Bar or the expansive outdoor patio.
“We do live country music on Saturdays,” said Eddie. “There’s a lot of local talent around here.”
And although the tunes draw a crowd, music-lovers aren’t the only ones walking through the doors.
“Bowling, concessions, a full-bar, video games, pool tables and live music … it’s a nice night out and everybody can have fun,” said Amy. “It feels like everybody knows each other when they come in here on a Friday or Saturday night and that’s a really good feeling. We know we’ve made a really good impact when we recognize a lot of return customers but we also see a lot of new faces all the time.”

We hear the unique Texan Burger “takes the cake,” and has quite the following.
A true one stop shop selection can’t be complete without a bit of shopping as well.
Be it travelers looking to gear up for those venturing into the Texan wilderness, or local hunters or fishermen looking for bait and supplies.

SCHULENBURG STYLE
In the heart of any small town, dreams can often be overshadowed by the hustle of daily life. But Esther Toro has shown that hard work can turn a childhood dream into a literal fashion queen. For the past twelve years, her boutique E&S Fashion Shop has been a community staple and has entranced its customers with a curated collection of elegant and cutting-edge trends. From timeless dresses that never go out of style, to avant-garde pieces that bring forth a new age of clothing, E&S Fashion Shop has become a haven for those seeking not just a wardrobe update but a unique shopping experience.
Amid a child’s imagination and all the places it takes them, Esther found herself around the age of 6, already tempted by her entrepreneur spirit. She would often tell her mother, “I want to work in a store one day,” and would make up various shopping scenarios. Coupled with her creative mind and some help from a toy cash register (gifted from her hard-working mother,) her life’s path would begin to unfold, and continue a path that leads this successful woman to where she is today.
Starting in high school, Esther dedicated herself to a career in retail, working her way up in various roles within all avenues of customer service and other industries. She gained experience, most notably from two decades as a cashier in a local restaurant. Showcasing her work ethic and commitment to her dreams in 2012, an idea sparked in her mind. The long-awaited time finally arrived for Esther to open a store of her own.
Despite holding down her cashier job, Esther tirelessly worked to set up her first boutique in a small property adjacent to her home. Working one job during the day and then managing her store at night quickly grew the business. So much so that the demand was overwhelming, with lines forming at the door even before she officially opened each day. In 2014, she took the plunge and inaugurated her current boutique, E&S Fashion Shop, a cherished homage named for herself and her daughter Selina.
E&S Fashion Shop has become a local gem, offering a diverse range of clothes, jewelry, purses, and the popular Zenana Boutique brand, all at very affordable prices. With the full support of her family both inside and outside the store, there is no end in sight to the growth happening within these walls. But what sets E&S Fashion Shop apart is Esther’s unique approach to stocking her store. Rather than blindly following trends, she relies on her deep understanding of her customers’ preferences. “I go by what my customers want – they tell me what they like,” says Esther. This customer-centric philosophy has attracted new patrons continuously, with people even traveling from the surrounding cities to experience this local charm.
The boutique has become synonymous with surprises and delights, with Esther being known for her captivating window displays. Her efforts were recognized when she won both the best window display award in town in 2022, as well as the highly recognized award for the Best Women’s Clothing Store. Those two achievements set up the year 2024 in a great way! Looking ahead, Esther is excited about expanding several areas of the store, one being the addition of mother-daughter matching outfits, no doubt a blooming trend and an homage to the name itself. “It’s always a surprise in here,” she smiles, embodying the spirit of E&S Fashion Shop. Customers often express their admiration by exclaiming, “That’s my boutique!” a phrase that reflects the strong sense of community and connection Esther has fostered.
Ester continues to engage with her customers through social media, using Facebook to stay connected and reach new audiences. As E&S Fashion Shop thrives, Esther Toro’s story stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, passion, and the fulfillment of childhood dreams.

In the present time of large chain retailers on seemingly every corner, there still exists a hint of retail charm in the town of Schulenburg. Where buying products isn’t just a click of a button, it is trusted by years of research and hands-on experience. One trusted establishment is Audio-Video Plus, owned by husbandand-wife duo, Bruce and Joann Lebeda. Together they have woven a testimony of technology, community, and personal passion into the heart of this city.
Audio-Video Plus is celebrating 40 years in business in 2024. With a history as diverse as the products inside, Bruce embarked on his own entrepreneurial journey in 1984. This
venture known as, “The Record Rack,” transitioned after years of working for a local builder. Within the walls of this store, he introduced record albums, 45s, and cassettes. After years of gaining experience and sharing the space, Bruce took the leap and, in 1997 founded the Audio-Video Plus store we know today.
Despite the evolving landscape of technology, this store embraces change and commitment to its customers. Growth has not been measured in the expansion of its walls. Instead, it can be seen by how it has ushered technology into the community throughout the years. This institution of the latest products has served a time when customers would get limited access to these items. Such as being one of the first retailers of cell phones in the area, to the inception of satellite TVs, upgraded mattresses, and a vast variety of appliances. Serving Schulenburg is a passion for both Bruce and Joann. Together they promise more than pleasant greetings and transactions; they both pledge “to make every customer feel how they would like to be treated.”
Overall, with that in mind, every year products change little by little. They don’t merely stock products; they meticulously choose the best of the best through personal trials, testing many even in their own home before stocking in the store. Regular visits to trade shows and interactions with brand
representatives ensure that every product displayed is proven and reliable. That honesty and trust has been passed to their customers and has kept them loyal for years.
Physical products, however, are just part of the equation. The Audio-Video Plus team is dedicated to making sure each person has above and beyond service even at their home. This includes deliveries and installation of products purchased with them. The team is highly skilled and knowledgeable in many areas. Be that television installations, prewiring audio setups, installing those outdoor speakers by the pool ... they will work with your vision and bring it to fruition.
The community remains at the heart of their journey. Bruce and Joann dedicate time to each customer to offer products tailored to everyone and making Audio-Video Plus a onestop-shop for all who enter. This commitment to excellence is evident in the stream of repeat clients who return year after year, finding comfort and camaraderie in their shopping experience. As Bruce says, “The ‘Plus’ in its name means we are not just audio and video products, it goes beyond what is stocked on the shelves; it signifies a commitment to services offered and the confidence our customers share in us.”
Audio-Video Plus is located at 250 Kessler Avenue and online at www.audio-videoplus.com.

Welcome to Schulenburg, halfway to everywhere and with a heart as big as Texas!
On behalf of myself, the city council and the citizens of Schulenburg, I welcome you to our town. I ask that if you’re passing through, either on Highway 77 or IH-10, exit and see what all we have to offer. Our downtown area has some unique shops and stores. We have a couple of museums that display and highlight various aspects of the history of our town. There are also unique stores along Highway 77, like a meat market where you can actually pick your fresh steak out of the showcase. There are some great eating places and some convenience stores that can accommodate all of your needs.
I was born and raised here and have no desire to live anywhere else. I graduated from Schulenburg High School and both of my children have, too. We also have a great private Catholic school that offers PK3 thru 8th grade classes. People always ask why I stayed and never moved away; I love the citizens. They are all willing to help when there is a need and your heart will feel the warmth and compassion that each one has. Schulenburg being home to the Painted Churches shows that. Everyone is so proud of the history that is preserved in these churches and everyone loves to talk about them.
I pray that your stay is enjoyable and that you will want to come visit us again. Be safe on the roads and God bless.

ROUND TOP - THe Round Top Chamber of Commerce is quick to welcome you to stop by for a visit. Think you’re missing out because Round Top is a ways away from the big city? Think again. This small, Texas town is the best of both worlds. They’re home to the Round Top Antiques Show while offering stellar shopping and southern hospitality yearround. Trips Publications recommends you check out the variety of outstanding restaurants while you’re in town. We’re particularly fond of Royers’ fried chicken and famous apple pie, as well as Lulu’s comforting Italian selections.

Spoetzl Brewery tour is an interactive tour that takes you from start to finish on what makes Shiner Beers so special and unique.

WEIMAR - Weimar’s picturesque downtown bustles with businesses, shops, great eateries, antique shops and a tavern where locals play dominoes and German card games. You’ll also want to stop by and see St. Michael Catholic Church, a structure you can’t miss ... just look for the steeple that can be seen before you reach the town itself.
Established as a Mission in 1888, the imposing edifice was constructed of Elgin brick by Italian and Mexican craftsmen directed by contractors L. M. and J. C. Dielmann of San Antonio. The Gothic revival architectural style reflects the central European heritage of the Czechoslovakian and German settlers.
