German-Texan Heritage Society

Located in the heart of the Red River Cultural District you will find one of Austin’s best kept secrets, an historical building and terraced gardens. The German Free School was built in 1857 and today is Austin’s third oldest building, built with rammed-earth construction which has made it so durable. Today, it is the headquarters for the German-Texan Heritage Society, a nonprofit organization that preserves German culture in Texas through festivals, language classes, genealogical searches, and other services. The German Free School is a City of Austin Landmark and Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
