The Vereins Kirche. A Landmark and Symbol

After an extensive renovation in 2019 and reinstallation of exhibits, the Vereins Kirche features the history of the building in a permanent exhibit that begins with the German immigrants’ trip to Texas in the 1840s through the present.

In January 1934, the GCHS was formed with one major goal in mind, to rebuild the Vereins Kirche. Since then, the GCHS has continued to preserve the history and culture of Fredericksburg and Gillespie County through exhibits and educational programs and outreach.
