Lindheimer House, National Historic Landmark in New Braunfels, United States.
The Lindheimer House features traditional fachwerk construction with timber beams, brick infill, and two separate front doors following German architectural patterns.
Ferdinand Lindheimer, who built this house in 1852, escaped from Germany and later fought in the Texian Army for independence before settling in New Braunfels.
The residence became a center of German-American journalism when Lindheimer established and published Die Neu Braunfels Zeitung newspaper from the building for twenty years.
The New Braunfels Conservation Society maintains this museum at 491 Comal Avenue, offering guided tours that explain German settlement patterns in Texas.
The saltbox structure displays exposed fachwerk on its rear wall while the other three sides received stucco covering, demonstrating the evolution of German building techniques.
