Ever wondered where New Braunfels came from and why its called City of a Prince? At the Sophienburg Museum, youll find an authentic reproduction of the ship, complete with actual lugguage, that brought Prince Solms and his crew over from Germany. Take a stroll down a reproduction of New Braunfels first downtown and youll see why New Braunfels was the fourth largest city in Texas by 1850.
My forefather was Anton Pieper, one of Prince Solm's Troop of 20 Men who helped found New Braunfels and a Citizen of the Republic of Texas. I love the Sophienburg!!
