About Us
We are the German American Society of New Braunfels Texas
Who we are
The German American Society of New Braunfels
was founded in the late 1970’s by a group of German immigrants and their descendants to uphold the customs and traditions of our
forefathers and the rich culture they brought with them to the New World.
Participation in annual festivals
is of high priority. The Society participates in the Folk Fest at the Heritage Plaza, Wine & Saengerfest in the Town Square, the Wurstfest on the banks of the Comal River, and the Annual Picnic in Landa Park just to name a few. Our annual Maskenball (Costume Ball) is a very well attended affair, as is our Weihnachtsfest
(Christmas Party).
The New Braunfels German American Society
is a non-profit organization registered in the State of Texas. We are proud of being sponsors to many events and cultural offerings. We are
the sponsors of Deutsche Sprachschule, where the German language is taught to children and adults in the New Braunfels area.
The purpose of the society
is to encourage the use of the German language, to identify and preserve the valuable elements in our Texas culture contributed by the Germans in this great State, to encourage German American exchange, and to promote activities within the community that reflect cultural values of German origin.
In addition,
the New Braunfels German American Society is a co-sponsor of the Edelweiss Kinder Chor von New Braunfels. This group of children, ages 5-13, is dedicated to preserving the German Heritage through the singing of traditional songs at various community functions.
The German American Society is an apolitical society,
with a membership open to all persons regardless of race, religion, political affiliation, and national origin. Come visit one of our monthly meetings and programs. We meet the 1st Tuesday of every month at the American Legion Hall Post #179, 410 West Coll St.,
New Braunfels, TX.
