A special time in Fredericksburg ew things are as pretty as fall in Fredericksburg.

Those fortunate enough to call Fredericksburg home understand why so many visitors — about 1.5 million per year at last count — are attracted to this place.

all starts with its history and heritage. Stories of early German settlers who actively sought out local Native Americans to make a peace treaty show the determination and uniqueness of the character of this town’s founders. They also brought their work ethic to scratch out a living in this rough scrabble country and generations afterward slowly made investments in the town’s Main Street. Today’s attractions also highlight historical, innovative and natural pulls: 7KH 1DWLRQDO 0XVHXP RI WKH 3DFL¿F War inspires awe and reverence, and Enchanted Rock is singular in its mystic allure.

ies, and all bring their own take to this nectar of the gods. Also, what small town boasts 15 galleries displaying world-class artists? Lastly, everyone needs to experience Oktoberfest in a town with German roots. Fredericksburg’s ranks among the top “Oktoberfests� in the nation and visitors can enjoy lots of good Bier und Wurst as well as Frauleins in their Dirndls. Willkommen! We know you’ll agree that this is a special place. And like our fall trees, we look forward to your splashy return in the spring.

Farmer’s Market readies for fall season Fredericksburg Farmer’s Market’s summer season is over, but the fall season will begin. This year’s fall farmer’s market begins on Thursday, Oct. 1 and concludes on Thursday, Nov. 19 (the week prior to Thanksgiving). The fall market will be at Pioneer Museum on West Main Street. Whether meat or vegetables, customers won’t lack for items to sample or buy. They’ll once again have local, grass-fed beef, along with pasture-raised chickens that produce organic eggs, said Thomas Newman, Fredericksburg Farmer’s Market president. There’s also a local bounty of fall vegetables and fruits, including beets, beans, peas, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, herbs, butternut squash and much more. Patrons can enjoy the locally-baked bread and wood-oven pizza. There will also be locally-roasted coffee and other prepared foods. The farmer’s market also collaborates with Hill Country Memorial Hospital to serve healthy foods, such as soups. Besides meats and vegetables, wine lovers will be able to buy wine from local wineries — either by the glass or by the bottle. And, in the Chef’s Corner, people can sample food made with ingredients from the local markets. The event also includes an eclectic mix of music, to include local bands and singer/songwriters. For those who want to get an early idea of what to expect before each farmer’s market, there’s an electronic newsletter that goes out the Tuesday or Wednesday before the market. Sign-up sheets

St. Joseph’s Halle Craft Shows offer rare, unique gifts

Jewelry, fleece jackets, stained glass, felted scarves and jeweled Christmas trees are among the many items catching shoppers’ eyes at the St. Joseph’s Halle Craft Show. — Standard-Radio Post File Photo

Holiday shoppers looking to give truly unique gifts with a personal touch need look no further than St. Joseph’s Halle, where two arts and crafts shows are slated this fall and winter. Artists and craftsmen from Fredericksburg and the surrounding Hill Country area gather twice annually to show off their creative wares and this year’s Saturday shows are scheduled for Oct. 3 and Dec. 12 in the historic building, located a block off Fredericksburg’s Main Street at 212 West San Antonio Street. There will be no admission charge to get in to either show and hours for both will be from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Expected to be available for browsing and purchase again this year are: mosaic stained glass, spoon handle bracelets, necklaces, Santa pendants, vintage broken china pendants, hand-painted signs, gourd birdhouses, hand-crafted dolls and hand-knitted sweaters, painted and decoupaged furniture, handmade scarves and jackets, crocheted hats, carved granite pieces, outdoor furniture and lots of “shabby chic” home décor items. In addition, a selection of baked goods and treats will be available at the show in December.

Eisbahn returns for the holidays Surprising to some “Winter Texans� who travel to the Lone Star State to escape the frigid temperatures of the North, the heart of downtown Fredericksburg transforms each holiday season into a winter wonderland — complete with outdoor ice skating rink.

With opening day set the day after Thanksgiving, on Friday, Nov. 27, hours for Eisbahn will be 4-8 p.m. on Mondays through Thursdays, 4-10 p.m. on Fridays, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturdays and 1-8 p.m. on Sundays. During Christmas break for local schools, from Dec. 21-Jan. 4, Eisbahn will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and from 1-8 p.m. on

December concert will feature Canto Choir Celebrating the season, the Canto Chamber Choir will perform its annual Christmas concert at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 14, at the Hill Country Evangelical Free Church. Tickets are $25 per person, and all proceeds will go to the Good Samaritan Center. Tickets may be purchased at the Hill Country Evangelical Free Church, the Good Samaritan Center or at the door.

Those requirements are why they don’t meet regularly all year long to rehearse. About a month before a concert they will get together and have practices during those two to three weeks. The choir consists of an estimated 50 members, with 25-35 members performing per concert, depending on their

Wildseed Farms Where color is always in season Visitors to Gillespie County coming from the east get a colorful show year-round when they pass Wildseed Farms. The flower-filled business, located on U.S. 290 East at 100 Legacy Drive, is home to the largest family-owned wildflower farm in the United States. More than 200 acres at its headquarters are filled with color year-round as blooms beautify the roadside attraction. And the company has more than 1,000 acres of cultivated fields around the state. Its founder and president is John R. Thomas, who has won local, state and national recognition for his contributions to land conservation and beautification. The store specializes in seeds for native plants that make the Hill Country pop with color throughout the year. Wildseed Farms will hold its Monarch Celebration from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 10. Visitors can tag and track their own Monarch butterfly, which will be released into the wild to work its magic at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. Farm offerings More than 350,000 people a year stop by the center. Visitors can explore walking trails, watch the farm staff work and take photos. In Pick Your Own fields, visitors can create bouquets. Among the areas at Wildseed to visit are Blossom’s Boutique, Lantana’s Nursery, Brewbonnet Biergarten and the Meadows. Plant and flower lovers can order seeds of individual species, regional mixes, varieties of cosmos, zinnias and sunflowers, along with native grasses and culinary herbs. There are also garden products and specialty foods. Their catalog features over 90 varieties of wildflowers, grasses, herbs and exotic garden variety seeds. Wildseed Farms has been planting and harvesting wildflower crops for more than three decades in various parts of the Texas terrain, including the fields at Fredericksburg. Open to the public daily, Wildseed Farms offers a lot more than the flowers these days, and invites the public to come on by and stay a while. The farm offers a complimentary seed catalog to each visitor. Also a resource guide, the publication offers helpful planting tips and how-to’s. Outside the store can be found one of the Hill Country’s largest selections of live plants and colorful imported pottery. Many of the native plants are featured in Wildseed Farms’ own landscape. Staff members are available to make suggestions and help the shoppers create their own version. Wine tasting is available on weekends, and often a live band will be on the Plaza stage on Saturday afternoons.

Texas Rangers build a home Sam Houston famously said, “Give me a few Texas Rangers, and I will get it done.â€? In Fredericksburg, more than a few Rangers are halfway through a huge project that will pay homage to these Lone Star State’s lawmen and provide another local attraction. Phase 1 of the Texas Rangers Heritage Center is complete. The project on the town’s eastern edge was about 14 years in the planning. In September 2013, then-Gov. Rick Perry and other dignitaries attended a ground-breaking ceremony on the land between Fort Martin Scott and the Hill Country University Center. The Former Texas Rangers Foundation is the organization heading up the project. Phase 1 has a spacious open-air pavilion, which can seat 400 to 600 and will eventually have an DPSKLWKHDWHU ZLWK D ÂżUH SLW The site now also includes a campanile (bell tower) and a Ring of Honor, a 30-foot simulation of a Ranger badge which will memorialize Rangers who lost their lives in the line of duty. The Rangers Foundation has begun fundraising for Phase 2, which will feature a museum building. There, visitors will learn about well-known Rangers and episodes in Ranger history. Museum planers promise an immersive experience, which will include interactive exhibits, a theater, galleries associated with the character traits of the Texas Rangers, and episodes

A ROCKIN’ ATTRACTION

Hikers ascend to the top of the dome on New Year’s Day at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. — Standard-Radio Post photo

One of Texas’ favorite state parks is minutes away For hikers, nature lovers and stargazers alike, Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is truly an enchanted place. Visible from long distances due to its size and shape, Enchanted Rock stretches up 1,825 feet in elevation and reaches out to grab the interest of thousands of hikers, campers and other outdoor lovers who take the time to visit the 640-acre park near the Gillespie/Llano county line each year. The park also is one of the best area places to see the stars at night shine big and bright. It was one of two parks in Texas to be designated an International Dark Sky Park. The designation means that Enchanted Rock’s lighting sources now comply with the International Dark Sky Alliance requirements, which not only saves energy for the park, but assures that visitors from the city experience a night sky uninterrupted by bright lights. It also helps the area promote low-impact ecotourism in one of the Hill Country’s major tourist destinations.

Cross Mountain lights night sky

Under the glow of night, Cross Mountain watches over Fredericksburg. The cross is lit from 6 p.m. to midnight every evening. — Standard-Radio Post file photo @GoFred1

Named for the crosses that have topped its summit for more than 160 years, Cross Mountain was a recognized historic landmark in this part of the Texas Hill Country even before Fredericksburg was founded in 1846. Rising to an elevation of 1,951 feet above sea level, the cross has been viewable from a distance which has made Cross Mountain Park a recognized historic landmark. Cross Mountain is located on North Milam Street alongside Ranch Road 965. A new sign was recently installed at the entrance, making the site easier to spot. After recent volunteer work done by The Friends of the Fredericksburg Nature Center, visitors can now walk up the hill safely on a stairway path to reach the top of the mountain for a panoramic view of Fredericksburg and surrounding area. There are also two trails that circle the mountain, one at the base and the other half way up the mountain. History The history of Cross Mountain reaches far back. When the early settlers arrived here in 1846, they found the remnants of a wooden cross that had been erected there most probably by the Spanish missionaries who had by then established missions in San Antonio, San Saba and other areas of Texas. For the Indians, too, it was a landmark as it lay on the Pinta Trail, one of the oldest Indian trails in the state. Cross Mountain gained its name when an early-day German settler, John Christian Durst, found the old cross of heavy timbers at its summit that was presumably erected by the Spanish missionaries. He named it “Kreuzbergâ€? (Cross Mountain), a name that has never changed. In the summer of 1848, Father George Menzel, a Bohemian priest, erected a more substantial cross as a symbol of redemption and civilization. During the Diamond Jubilee of St. Mary’s Catholic Church in 1921, a more permanent cross was placed on top of the hill. It was vandalized over the years, but was rebuilt by St. Mary’s in 1940. :KHQ UXUDO HOHFWULÂżFDWLRQ FDPH WR WKH DUHD LQ the cross was illuminated. It burns bright each evening from 6 p.m.-midnight. The park was purchased by Dr. J. Hardin Perry in the 1900s to keep it from being developed.

For many years, local citizens had the vision and dream of building a replica. By the end of 1933, one of the bright spots to emerge out of the Great Depression was the culmination of this dream. The Gillespie County Historical Society was formed to raise funds for building this memorial to the pioneers and local funds were matched with federal funds. In 1935, when the building had been completed and the grounds landscaped, a celebration was held to dedicate the structure. It was used as a museum to display memorabilia and collectibles of pioneer days. A part of the building was later set aside for use as a library. When the GCHS acquired the Kammlah property (located at Pioneer Museum Complex), the museum exhibits were moved there and the entire space was devoted to Pioneer Memorial Library.

In the 1990s, Marktplatz underwent a remodeling and renovation. One key part of the project was to make restrooms handicap accessible. Also in place are display cases with lighting to better show some of the society’s exhibits. A depiction of the peace treaty with the Comanches, painted by Lucy Meusebach Marschall in the 1920s hangs in the Vereins Kirche.

Signs say all are W-E-L-C-O-M-E When the town’s planners picked names for the streets on the main thoroughfare, they encoded into the names of consecutive streets a ‘welcome’ and a ‘goodbye’. Most of the city byways have large signs showing the name of the street and an illustration of the Vereins Kirche, a symbol of Fredericksburg that stands in the center of the city on Marktplatz. The Vereins Kirche through the years has become a commonly-recognized landmark of Fredericksburg and placing a sketch of the venerable structure on the street signs was a part of the city’s “dressing up” for the 125th anniversary of the founding of Fredericksburg in 1971. Among the more German names of streets is Ufer, which runs parallel to Main Street

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? The “native tongue” of German which was brought to the Texas Hill Country by the German settlers in the mid-1800s, can still be heard around town from the locals and even some visitors. 9LVLWRUV ZLOO DOVR ¿QG WKDW VRPH RI the clerks who work at local business establishments can speak the language ÀXHQWO\ There are two community choirs that sing in German and many celebrations such as Oktoberfest that carry on traditions from Germany. Also, more German can be heard at a Schuetzenfest (shooting festival) or Saengerfest (singing festival), than any other language. Some churches occasionally have German hymn fests as well as entire services conducted in German. Another example can be found at Fredericksburg High School where the motto is: Billie Pride Über Alles, which means “Billie Pride Over Everything.” For many years, Fredericksburg had a German language newspaper, the Fredericksburg Wochenblatt (weekly sheet).

German 101 … Fredericksburg Style Some Fredericksburg German expressions and phrases to help both visitors and local residents get around include the following: Guten Tag (goo ten tahk) ... Hello! Good day. Since the Germans in Fredericksburg came from all over Germany, the equivalent Bavarian greeting “Gruess Gott” is seldom heard in Fredericksburg, since few Bavarians left Germany. Danke (dahn-kah) ... Thanks! Aufwiedersehen (Auf-wee-der-sayn): See you again. Goodbye. Hauptstrasse (Haupt-strah-suh): Main Street. Vereins Kirche (Fer-reins-kier-kuh): Verein means the organization that founded Fredericksburg; kirche: church. The Vereins Kirche is located at Marktplatz (Markt-Plah-tz) and was the multi-purpose octagonal building used as a school, for meetings and by churches before they built their own. The building is now a museum and archives of the Gillespie County Historical Society. Wo ist ... (Vo isst)?: Where is .... a good

German restaurant?: ein gutes deutsches Restaurant ... for fish: Fisch; steak: Steak; apple strudel: Apfelstrudel; Wiener Schnitzel: pan fried thin pork steak; with mushrooms and gravy: Jaeger Schnitzel; German pancakes (like crepes): Deutsche Pfann Kuchen; Sausage: Wurst; Bread: Brot; Dark Bread: Dunkel Brot; Wine: Wein (vine). Hungarian Goulasch: beef tips and sauce. What is your name? Wie heissen Sie? (vee hi-sen see) My name is John Schmidt: Ich heise Johann Schmidt. Where do you live? Wo wohnen Sie? I live in Fredericksburg: Ich wohne in Friedrichsburg. The following businesses in the downtown area have one or more employees who can speak basic German: Gillespie County Courthouse, Texas Tech University at Fredericksburg, Dooley’s, Pioneer Museum (uptown: oberstadt) and Vereins Kirche (downtown: unterstadt on the Marktplatz); Kowert Realty; Der Kleider Schrank; Der Lindenbaum German Restaurant; Der Alte Fritz Antiques and Segner’s Jewelers.

Maibaum outlines history On each of its 12 branches, the history of Fredericksburg unfolds on the community’s Maibaum, or Maypole, located downtown on Marktplatz. The Maibaum employs a unique story-telling PHWKRG E\ GHSLFWLQJ YLJQHWWHV RI VLJQL¿FDQW SDUWV of Fredericksburg’s past history — all from its spot near the largest pavilion on Marktplatz. Crafted by Fredericksburg blacksmith Roy Bellows and erected in 1991 by the Peder-nales Creative Arts Alliance, a local arts organization, the Maibaum is reminiscent of Bavaria where villages erected the poles for spring festivals and later used them to display symbols of the villages’ histo-ries, commerce, or other matters of interest regarding the village. In Fredericksburg, the Maibaum, in itself, tells Freder-icksburg’s history since its 1846 founding with the use of images placed on different branches, or tiers. The bottom symbols portray the March 2, 1847, peace negoti-ations between Comanche In-dian tribes and the German pioneers. A group of settlers, led by John O. Meusebach, traveled north, deep into Indian territory and met with 15-20 Comanche chiefs. The agreement they reached allowed the Fredericksburg colonists to develop their settlement in peace. The cowboy and dancers on the second level portray the settlers working and celebrating. The third level represents the grapes and peaches, which have contributed so abundantly to the local economy. The next level shows the importance of hunting deer, turkey and other wild game in the de-velopment of the colony as well as its importance in the area’s present day economy. Also playing a major role in Fredericksburg’s past and present are cattle, sheep and goats that ¿QG SOHQWLIXO JUD]LQJ LQ WKH DUHD The ship and oxcart on the next level portray the transportation of the pioneers in arriving at this colony. Most came by ship from Germany to Indianola, a port on Matagorda Bay, and then by oxcart overland to Fredericksburg. The settlers established a unique community in Freder-icksburg as symbolized by the Sunday houses, which dot the city, and the historic Nimitz Ho-tel that today serves as the key element of the Admiral Nimitz Museum. @GoFred1

Artist traveled to Fredericksburg 150 years ago Early pioneers Herman Lungkwitz and Richard Petri settled in the Texas Hill Country more than 150 years ago, and just like hundreds of other immigrants, they were determined to make a make a ‘go’ of it. What made them different was the artistic record they left of the world in which they lived. Their sketches and paintings became prized as rare interpretations of an era whose works of art are few and far between today. Lungkwitz Now museum treasures, their artwork provides a vivid reminder of what life was like “back thenâ€?, particularly here in Gillespie County. Petri and Lungwitz had become friends at the Royal Academy of Art in Dresden, Germany, and Lungkwitz later married Petri’s sister, Elisabet. These three were joined in their move to America by Friederike Lungkwitz, Herman’s aged mother; his sister Therese, and Petri’s sister, Marie. The group left Germany late in the summer of 1850, landed in Hoboken, NJ, and moved to Wheeling in what was then Virginia. Richard Petri’s health was poor, so they decided to come to Texas, sailing down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans where Adolph Lungkwitz, Herman’s younger brother, joined them. They traveled to Indianola and then to New Braunfels, before moving to the Fredericksburg area in late-spring or earlysummer of 1852. They bought 320 acres of land on the PedernaOHV 5LYHU DERXW ÂżYH PLOHV VRXWKZHVW RI )UHGHULFNVEXUJ RQ ZKDW LV now known as the “Old Kerrville Roadâ€? and proceeded to build their homes and farm the land. These two artists, however, also devoted much of their time to painting the Texas landscape as they saw it, leaving for today many prized pictures of scenes, buildings, frontier life, even Indians, which are found in private collections and museums.

Two books have been published about them. 7KH ÂżUVW RQH FRS\ULJKWHG E\ WKH Texas Memorial Museum in 1978, was written by William W. Newcomb Jr., who was director of that museum from 1957 to 1978, and who, at the time of its publication, was a professor of anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin. It is entitled German Artist on the Texas Frontier: Friedrich Richard Petri. The other one, Herman Lungkwitz; Romantic Landscapist on the Texas Petri Frontier, copyrighted in 1983 by The University of Texas Institute of Texan Cultures, was written by James Patrick McGuire, then the director of program management at the institute. In addition to telling the complete stories of these two famous DUWLVWV WKH\ LQFOXGH SDJHV ÂżOOHG ZLWK SLFWXUHV RI WKHLU SDLQWLQJV Tangible evidence of their presence on their local farm are the graves of Richard Petri, the painter, who died in 1857 when he drowned in the Pedernales while trying to get relief from a high fever. Buried next to him is Friederike Lungkwitz. Each grave is marked with a rounded red granite boulder with a square surface in the center bearing these inscriptions: “Richard Petri 18241857â€? and “Friederike Lungkwitz - geb. Hecht 1781-1855â€?. At the foot of the graves are small rounded rocks with the initials “RPâ€? and “FLâ€?. Changes took place with the approach of and during the Civil War times. Marie Petri married Jacob Kuechler, a graduate of the University of Giessen who had been trained in civil engineering and became county surveyor for Gillespie County. They lived on this farm near the main house. Kuechler was one of those who chose to be “true to the Unionâ€? during the Civil War and, though wounded, made it to Mexico where he stayed until after the war ended. He returned to Texas ZKHUH KH EHFDPH &RPPLVVLRQHU RI WKH *HQHUDO /DQG 2IÂżFH

153 Lungkwitz had become discouraged with trying to make a living by selling his paintings, so he decided to go to Virginia to study photography. His wife and children stayed here on the farm, but when he returned, they leased it and moved to San Antonio. The Lungkwitz family sold their farm to Jacob and Ludwig Usener on Jan. 11, 1869, and this place was home to Usener family members, some of who are buried alongside of Petri and Friederike Lungkwitz. The property is now privately owned.

TIMELINE: 1824: Richard Petri born in Germany. 1850: Hermann Lungkwitz and Petri leave Germany for America with Petri’s sister (who married Lungkwitz) and Lungkwitz’ mother, and land in New Jersey. 1851: After a move to Wheeling, VA, the foursome sails down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans and are joined by Lungkwitz’ younger brother. They travel to Indianola and New Braunfels. 1852: The group arrives in Fredericksburg in early summer. 1857: Petri drowns in the Pedernales River and the elder Mrs. Lungkwitz dies. s/XQJNZLW] VWXGLHV SKRWRJUDSK\ LQ 9LUJLQLD Family leases farm and moves to San Antonio on his return. 1869: Lungkwitz family sells farm to Jacob and Ludwig Usener.

Fredericksburg before Main Street bustled About the time Waylon and Willie were making Luckenbach, Texas a household name, a young photographer from Dallas was spending summers interviewing families with deep roots in Gillespie County. The author, Philip O’Bryan Montgomery III, worked for the Fredericksburg Standard as an intern and began work on a project that would, decades later, result in a special book chronicling local GermanTexans, “Our Way of Life.� Published by Shearer Publishing of Fredericksburg, the book shows wisdom and insight that belied the young author. The book features black-and-white duotone photographs and interviews of 28 local families. All the names of the families helped shape the community into what it is today: Basse, Dietz, Frantzen, Hartmann, Itz, Jenschke, Jung, Kirchner, Moellering, Petmecky, Schandua, Schmidt and Schuch, among others. Montgomery wrote in the preface: “This book began as an object of my growing up, or so it seemed, in Fredericksburg. Our parents, Ruth Ann and Philip Mont-

OUR WAY OF LIFE is available at shearerpub.com, several local stores, or on Amazon.com.

Portrait photo of Edwin Moellering shows him working in his shop. – From the book “Our Way of Life� by Shearer Publishing gomery, saw Fredericksburg as a place where Carter, Will, Harold and I could experience the country and learn from a community of strong, moral hard-working people — mostly third- and fourth-gener-

They were right. “In Fredericksburg and the surrounding countryside, we learned to be naturalists, WR KXQW DQG ÂżVK DQG PRVW LPSRUWDQWO\ to appreciate the people who made up the town itself. I was drawn to the beauty of Gillespie County and intrigued by its people.â€? Montgomery went on to become a successful commercial real estate developer in Dallas. When he found out he was ill with cancer, he made it his goal to see the book get published. Philip Montgomery died in 2013, but was able to see galley proofs of the book before his death. His book captured a moment in time, before Main Street hustled and bustled so. It was a quieter time, and Âł2XU :D\ RI /LIH´ LV D YLYLG UHĂ€HFWLRQ RI LW

Bravery. Honesty. Cooperation. Those are just some of the positive traits shown by early settlers to Fredericksburg. Together, they carved out an existence rich in culture and quality of life, while building the foundation for a town that continues to flourish more than a century and a half later. Clean streets, pride in property, and respect for neighbors are a part of what makes Fredericksburg one of America’s favorite small towns. And working together is still an attribute that pervades the city’s spirit.
