I think you must be thinking of New Braunfels down near
San Antonio.

NEW BREMEN, TEXAS. New Bremen, on Farm Road 626 five miles southwest of Karnes City in Karnes County, was a farming community settled around 1900 by people largely of German descent.
It had two different schools, in which prior to World War I some of the instruction was in German. Nearby Germania Hall provided a place for dances and other social functions.

During the 1940s New Bremen had two schools, a business, and a number of scattered dwellings. Only a cemetery and the shell of its last school remained in 1990.

A cemetery and shell, how appropriate.
I have an OLD friend who lives near there and we DID visit it. I can't remember, she MIGHT have had a distant relative buried there. Since there were many Germans there, it would PROBABLY be her husband's distant relatives.

Ah me, the memory.
Of course, I COULD call her on the phone right this minute and ASK her. She would know.

But that would be WAY too easy, wouldn't it? :o)
