In New Braunfels Ist Das Leben Schön! Today we celebrate Founders Day!
On Good Friday (March 21, 1845), Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels, Germany, along with a group of emigrant wagons forded the Guadalupe river marking the founding of New Braunfels.
Just as in 1845, today, we celebrate Founders Day as a local holiday. Please note most City offices and facilities are closed.
