Fredericksburg, truly a travelers paradise because Texas offers visitors a rich mixture of history, art, food, shopping and German culture, along with the beauty of the Lone Star State’s Hill Country. Let’s explore this beautiful place.
Hauptstrasse
Main Street, or Hauptstrasse as the Germans call it, features about 10 blocks of shops, restaurants, museums, antiques, bookstores, art galleries, bakeries, beer gardens, city hall, the volunteer fire department, the town maypole, the 156-year-old Zion Lutheran Church and even a winery. It’s a great walk up one side of the street and back the opposite side. Numerous sidewalk benches provide resting spots along the way. It is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The Magic Mile
The central shopping district, referred to as "The Magic Mile", is separated from the West Main Street shopping district by Marktplatz. "The Magic Mile" begins just east of the Admiral Nimitz Museum and continues west to Marktplatz. For the kids, there's a playscape, a storytelling Maibaum, a waterwheel and extensive, well-manicured lawns for running and playing.
Visit the Vereins Kirche
Along the way, tourists can visit the octagon-shaped Vereins Kirche (German for community church) Museum in the Marktplatz. It was built in 1935 as a replacement for an 1847 community church. The Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post Newspaper says the Vereins Kirche served as a church, fort, storehouse, meeting hall, library and office before becoming one of the city’s local history museums. It is believed to be the most photographed building in the city.
