Open House

The German Free School is open for tours every Thursday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, or by appointment. Our main docent, Helga von Schweinitz, will lead you on a guided tour and share her extensive knowledge of the building’s history and the lifestyles of the early German immigrants to Texas. Groups tours can be arranged by special request. Email the GTHS office to arrange a group tour.

Stammtisch

Join us every Thursday at the German Free School, from noon to 1:00 pm, for our weekly Stammtisch. German speakers of all levels come together for an hour of conversation and camaraderie. Bring along a brown bag lunch if you like and practice your German speaking skills. Beginners are welcome. It’s a very friendly group, so there’s no need to be embarrassed about your pronunciation or grammar. Please join us!

The German Free School is located at 507 E. 10th St. in Austin, Texas.
