The Vereins Kirche served all denominations as a church, school, and community hall in early Fredericksburg. It was built in the summer of 1847 after the Comanche peace treaty made by John O. Meusebach, Commissioner of the German Emigration Company, and stood on Main Street between Courthouse and Market Square. It was razed after the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival of the first settlers in 1896. A replica was constructed in 1934-35 and was first used as a museum and library. The property belongs to the Gillespie County Historical Society and has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
