New Braunfels: Guadalupe River, Schlitterbahn, and German Heritage
New Braunfels occupies Comal and Guadalupe counties along the Guadalupe River, halfway between San Antonio and Austin, with approximately 104,000 residents. The city was founded in 1845 by German settlers led by Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, part of the Adelsverein colonization effort that brought several thousand Germans to Central Texas in the 1840s. The city's name, architecture, and surviving cultural traditions reflect that German foundation.
The Guadalupe River and the smaller Comal River flow through the city, and the surrounding Hill Country topography produces clear, cool water that draws tubing and floating traffic throughout the summer months. Schlitterbahn, the original park founded in 1979 on the banks of the Comal, remains the city's most prominent tourist attraction and one of the largest waterparks in the country.
Gruene, a historic community incorporated into New Braunfels, preserves much of its late-19th-century German-Texan character. Gruene Hall, opened in 1878, is the oldest continuously operating dance hall in Texas and has hosted performances by George Strait, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, and many others over its history.
The New Braunfels Smokehouse, the Sophienburg Museum and Archives, and the Comal County Courthouse on the main plaza form additional reference points for the city's heritage. Wurstfest, a German sausage festival held each November, has run since 1961.
