HELP! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!!!
We still have several shifts in our Wurstfest pretzel booth with no volunteers. Please consider volunteering your time with us.

Students who need service hours are wonderful volunteers and always appreciated. NBCS members, family, friends and business teams are also greatly appreciated.

Shifts are only 2-2.5 hours with 15 minute overlaps between shifts. You get a free entry pass to enjoy Wurstfest all day and night when you volunteer. 🥨🇩🇪

Funds from our pretzel sales help keep our historically significant buildings at Old Town and Lindheimer House from falling into decay, which in turn preserves our NBTX German heritage.

Check the comments for some great info on Lindheimer!

NEW BRAUNFELS CHARACTERS, NO. 3. THE MAN WHO GAVE HIS HOUSE TO THE PLANTS.

Ferdinand Lindheimer got land on the Comal from the Adelsverein in 1845 and spent the rest of his life walking Texas looking at weeds.

He mailed what he found to Harvard and to St. Louis, and they started calling him the father of Texas botany. On the side he edited the Neu Braunfelser Zeitung for 20 years.

His first house here was a log cabin. He usually slept outside so the plant collection could have it.

He named a little yellow daisy after himself and wrote a poem calling it his immortal daughter.

Somewhere in your yard right now is a plant he walked a hundred miles for. You're going to mow it Saturday.
