  • Protected Landmark Designation Report
    CITY OF HOUSTON Archaeological & Historical Commission _ __ Planning and Development Department PROTECTED LANDMARK DESIGNATION REPORT LANDMARK NAME: The Hirzel-von Haxhausen House AGENDA ITEM: C OWNERS: FW Heritage, LLC HPO FILE NO: 16PL127 APPLICANT: FW Heritage, LLC DATE ACCEPTED: 3/24/2016 LOCATION: 2120 Sabine Street – First Ward HAHC HEARING: 4/21/2016 SITE INFORMATION: Tracts 11B and 12, Block 23, Beauchamp Springs, City of Houston, Harris County, Texas. The site includes a one-story Queen Anne style wood-frame house with a wrap-around porch. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Protected Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The Hirzel-von Haxhausen House at 2120 Sabine Street in the First Ward was designed and built in 1883 for Carl and Anna Hirzel. The First Ward is one of the four original wards created by the city of Houston in 1840. The house is a classic example of the Queen Anne residential style. The Hirzels resided at the home for 22 years until they sold the property to August and Minna von Haxthausen. August von Haxthausen (1874-1931) ran the Texas Deutsche Zeitung (TDZ), the city’s German-language newspaper. He also served as a Texas state representative from 1909-1917. In addition, he was the youngest elected Grand President of the Sons of Hermann, O.D.H.S., the largest fraternal insurance benefit society headquartered in Texas. In recent years, rampant construction of townhouses in First Ward has drastically reduced the inventory of historic houses in the neighborhood. Nevertheless, First Ward still has a small number of late- nineteenth and early-twentieth century homes, such as the Hirzel-von Haxhausen House, representing some of the oldest structures in Houston.

    Calendar No. 931 106TH CONGRESS REPORT "! 2d Session SENATE 106±482 HERMANN MONUMENT AND HERMANN HEIGHTS PARK OCTOBER 3 (legislative day, SEPTEMBER 22), 2000.ÐOrdered to be printed Mr. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, submitted the following REPORT [To accompany H. Con. Res. 89] The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was referred the concurrent resolution (H. Con. Res. 89) recognizing the Hermann Monument and Hermann Heights Park in New Ulm, Minnesota, as a national symbol of the contributions of Americans of German heritage, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment and recommends that the concurrent resolution do pass. PURPOSE OF THE MEASURE The purpose of H. Con. Res. 89 is to recognize the Hermann Monument and Hermann Heights Park in New Ulm, Minnesota, as a national symbol of the contributions of Americans of German her- itage. BACKGROUND AND NEED The Hermann Monument was erected in 1889 as a tribute to German immigrants to the United States. It honors Hermann the Cheruscan, who forged the creation of a united Germany by defeat- ing three Roman Legions who had occupied the area now known as Germany. Hermann remains a symbol of German history, cul- ture, dedication, and perseverance. The Hermann Monument, located in New Ulm, Minnesota, stands 102 feet tall and is the second largest copper statue in the United States, behind only the Statue of Liberty. The monument is in need of renovation and the citizens of New Ulm are raising the $1.75 million needed for its restoration and for construction of an interpretive center at its base.

For many of the intervening years, Kae and Heinz Velmeden were instrumental in guiding my association with the club. For a "non-singer," the performances of the Sängerbund at a Sängertag have always been a particularly moving experience for me. I first actually heard the club, not in Houston itself, but in San Antonio in the '70s. Another memorable performance was
