A colony of 120 settlers from Germany arrived here in 1846. Though the group who backed them soon failed, the colony survived despite many hardships. German influence survives to this day in the steep-roofed stone houses. Kammlah House, a restored old home, is now a museum; octagon-shaped Vereins Kirche, the town's first church and meeting hall, has been faithfully reproduced. Many old houses are still in use.
The town is home to the National Museum of the Pacific War, in honor of its most famous native son, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, head of naval operations in the Pacific during World War II. The hotel built by his grandfather in 1847 is part of the museum. Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is a favorite with hikers and climbers. Fredericksburg is also the center of Texas's growing wine industry -- eight vineyards lie nearby.
