Historic Church Photography, First Protestant, New Braunfels TX, Built in 1875

Description: I n the spring of 1845 Prince Solms of Braunfels am Lahn, Germany, and his followers landed in Houston, Texas. Solms had purchased land on the San Saba and Llano rivers . Indian raids , however, discouraged settlement near the San Saba, so Solms bought a league of land on the Comal River and took a contingent of German settlers there to begin farming. On October 15, 1845, the Republic of Texas issued a charter to the Solms German Protestant Congregation and in the spring of the following year the settlers of New Braunfels built a log church. They laid a cornerstone March 8, 1846, and held their first services March 22. Palm Sunday, April 5, the church was consecrated. About 1870 the congregation decided to build a larger church. They formed a building committee instead of hiring a contractor, and they commissioned architect Jacob Langkopf. To keep costs down, the committee decided to limit the length of the church to eighty feet, with construction to be done in such a way that the church could be lengthened in the future. They chose native limestone as the building material and laid a cornerstone July 18, 1875. On March 16, 1879, the congregation held their first service in the new church. They dedicated a tower July 14, 1889, at the cost of $2,800 and finished the interior by July, 1893, at the cost of $1,728.39.All my photos are printed using high quality inks and professional-grade premium photo paper to guarantee the photo prints are of the best quality, and you can treasure the photos for years to come. My canvas prints are printed and stretched in Austin, Texas by a team of canvas professionals, and each one comes ready to hang with a classic semi-gloss finish. Both are great for decorating your home or office, and perfect as photo gifts! Please note, display pictures are only for illustration purposes. They were not taken in real display rooms and do not represent the real size of the prints. They are just ideas to help you be aware of what it would look like in your room. Please measure the wall accurately and make sure to choose the right size for you.
