New Braunsfels definitely has a German heritage with Wurstfest every year -- great food! Used to go buy the German Advent calandars at Oma's in New Braunsfels. A lot of that part of Texas is German. Boerne where I lived was also German with a Bergesfest for Father's Day weekend along with Fredricksburg and their Octoberfest. Smaller towns all around the San Antonio area north to Austin have a German background.

A lot of that part of Texas is German. And Czech and Polish. That's one of the reasons Texas is different than the South. The white population of the South was overwhelmingly British, Scottish, and Scots-Irish. Texas has has substantial German and Eastern Euorpean immigration ever since the 1830s.

Some friends once took me to a great German restaurant in San Antonio; wish I could remember the name.
