Английская Википедия:Architecture of Fredericksburg, Texas

On October 14, 1970, the Fredericksburg Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in Texas.
Sunday Houses
The Sunday Houses are unique to the German immigrant culture of the Texas Hill Country.[1] In reverse of the old European tradition of living in town while working the rural farms, the early Fredericksburg German settlers made their main homes on the acreage they worked. On their town lots, they erected Sunday Houses for overnight stays on their weekly travels into town for supplies and church attendance. Older generations would use the houses as a retirement house, as the younger generations inherited the acreage and the work.[2] These houses were often made of limestone rock coated with whitewash inside and out. Depending on the individual family's need, these relatively small houses were designed for limited stays, with one or two ground floor rooms and an upper loft for sleeping. Standard design was a fireplace and a porch. Often there was an outside staircase leading to the loft.[3][4] Many of these homes in Fredericksburg have been restored, with some of them being used as Bed and Breakfast retreats.[5][6]

The Vereins Kirche, or Peoples Church, was designed by Friedrich Schubbert (aka Friedrich Armand Strubberg)[8] and became the first public building in Fredericksburg in 1847. It served as a nondenominational church, school, town hall, and fort. Locals refer to it as the Kaffeemühle (The Coffee Mill) Church for its shape.[9] Pupils learned their lessons in their own German language, and their parents paid $1 per quarter in tuition for each child.[10] The first teacher in the Vereins-Kirche in 1847 was Professor Johann (John) Leyendecker, who emigrated from Rhineland-Palatinate with his wife and five children.[11] They sailed on the ship Riga, which left Antwerp on November 7, 1845, and arrived in Galveston on February 1, 1846.[12][13] Leyendecker also provided his home for Catholic services. Leyendecker was succeeded as the Vereins Kirche teacher in 1848 by Jacob Brodbeck. The building models a style known as Carolingian architecture, similar to the Aachen Cathedral. Each side of the octagon was Шаблон:Convert wide by Шаблон:Convert high, with each side having a roof Шаблон:Convert high, topped by a Шаблон:Convert high octagonal cupola. A rooster weather vane that sat on top was destroyed by lightning and replaced by a cross. In 1896 (or 1897) the original building was torn down.
