Gruene, Ghost town in New Braunfels, United States.
The historic district spans 25 acres along the Guadalupe River, featuring Late Victorian architecture and traditional German Fachwerk construction techniques.
The settlement started as a cotton farming community in the 1840s when Ernst Gruene established the first residence using German building methods.
Gruene Hall, established in 1878, continues to operate as a dance hall and music venue, preserving German-Texan musical traditions.
The district contains multiple restored buildings that now function as shops, restaurants, and a wine tasting room for visitors.
The town recovered from complete abandonment in the 1950s to become a National Register of Historic Places destination by 1975.
