Courtesy of Beethoven Maennerchor Archives Towards the end of the Republic of Texas and in the early days of statehood, German settlers began arriving at the Ports of Galveston and Indianola. They were coming to Texas largely because of promises made to them for a better political and economic life by the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, the Adelsverein. The Adelsverein was an organization formed in 1842 by German noblemen who wanted to create prosperous new settlements in what is now central Texas.1 The first group of German settlers to arrive under the auspices of the Adelsverein was led by Prince Carl of Solms- Braunfels. On March 21, 1845, the Adelsverein established its first community in central Texas and named it “New Braunfels” in honor of the Prince’s estate Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2003 1 Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 3 [2003], Iss. 2, Art. 4 Celebrating “Das Deutsche Lied” in Texas in “Das Deutsche Lied” Celebrating Painting of Germania Gesangverein Neu Braunfels,Texas, courtesy of RABA Studio and Beethoven Maennerchor Archives The first year in the new homeland was tenuous.

This virtual oasis in an arid landscape became a stopping place for Spanish expeditions that explored the area in the 17th and early 18th centuries. It was here that Governor Domingo Terán de los Ríos, accompanied by soldiers and priests, camped under cottonwood, oak, and mulberry trees in June 1691. Because it was the feast of Saint Anthony de Padua, they named the place San Antonio.1 In April 1709 an expedition led by Captain Pedro de Aguirre, including Franciscan missionaries Fray Isidro Félix de Espinosa and Fray Antonio Buenventura Olivares, visited here on the way to East Texas to determine the possibility of establishing new missions there. On April 13 Espinosa, the expedition’s diarist, wrote about a lush valley with a plentiful spring. “We named it Agua de San Pedro.” Nearby was a large Indian settlement and a dense growth of pecan, cottonwood, cedar elm, and mulberry trees. Espinosa recorded, “The river, which is formed by this spring, could supply not only a village, but a city, which could easily be founded here.”2 When Captain Domingo Ramón visited the area in 1716, he also recommended that a settlement be established here, and within two years Viceroy Marqués de Valero directed Governor Don Martín de Alarcón to found a town on the river.
