About Us
The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung has a long and distinguished history of being the first German newspaper in Texas.
 
The Herald, the community’s English language paper, and the Zeitung, the German paper, merged in 1957. Collectively, they have served New Braunfels and Comal County since 1852.
 
THE ZEITUNG
Planning of the Neu-Braunfelser Zeitung began in 1851. In 1852, a mass meeting of interested New Braunfels residents elected Ferdinand Lindheimer as the newspaper’s first editor from a list of three candidates. The money for payment of the equipment was subscribed publicly, and each subscriber received a certificate of partnership.
 
The first Zeitung issue was dated Nov. 12, 1852. By 1853, Lindheimer, a botanist who had no training in the newspaper business, became the sole owner.
