| Tartalmi kivonat: | In the first half of the 19th century, German immigrants were numerous among the Europeans who played a role in the settlement of the North American continent. They settled mainly in the more developed east-coast regions, but the south, including Texas, was also a popular destination for them. In 1842, they founded the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas, better known by its shorter name, the Adelsverein, or Nobles’ Society. The organization operated until 1847 and settled nearly 10,000 German immigrants in Texas. Several other societies were formed with similar aims during the period, of which the Adelsverein’s success was perhaps due to its organization. As soon as it was founded, it sent scouts to Texas to prepare for settlement. After the establishment of the first port, Carlshafen, the association established three major colonies in Texas: New Braunfels, Fredericksburg and Castell. The focus of my paper will be on the Association’s first major inland settlement and its founder, Prince Karl Solms Braunfels (1812–1876). Based on primary sources, I will try to describe the founder’s character, his experiences in his new homeland and the challenges of founding New Braunfels. At the same time, I seek to answer the question what this German-speaking community retained of its cultural identity and how its members became citizens of their new homeland. |
