Germany continued
to go to the wrong direction and causes high unemployment rates
and taxes, unpayable social systems for health and retirement
insurance and the eventually membership of an Islamic country in
the European Union, we thought it was almost time for some
changes in our lives. It was a family decision to move to United
States and after getting our Visa, we bought a one-way-ticket

into our new live in March 2005. We
decided that New Braunfels in the beautiful Texas Hill country
should be our new home. Here just in the center of the historic
downtown center, we opened up our new German Restaurant & Bakery
"Friesenhaus" in the old building of former "Krause's Cafe".
In July 2005 Günter's older sons Claas and Jan spent their
holidays with us in New Braunfels and after 14 days they decided
to move here, too. They joined the family business after getting
their visa a few weeks later. Now we are a family of eight,
cause Claas brought his wife Yeymi and their little son Matti
(7) |

With our
authentic German food and our special events, we want to help
New Braunfels keep alive the German heritage of this beautiful
area and attract not only the locals but also visitors from all
over the states and abroad. The name of the restaurant "Friesenhaus"
is in mention of the area Friesland, where Günter was born. It
lays close to the Dutch border at Germanys North Sea shore. |

Germany is a small country - only half the size of Texas, but
the food is as different as the landscape. Many items from
Bavaria are well known around the world such as sausages,
"Pretzel" or a "mass bier" from the Oktoberfest in Munich, but
besides Bavarian dishes, Friesenhaus offer's a wide variety of
fresh cooked food from the Rhine area, Berlin, Thüringen,
Friesland and other parts of Germany. To the specialties belong
Sauerbraten with red cabbage or sauerkraut, Wiener Schnitzel,
pea soup or potato soup. A delightful addition is Friesenhaus's
own bakery for German bread, "Brötchen" (German rolls) cakes and
tarts. You might also enjoy fresh brewed tea selections (black,
oolong, green or herb teas) or coffees from all over the world.
Gelatto ice-cream is also available for to go or as dessert.
Friesenhaus wines and sparkling wines are selected from Germanys
best wine areas. They taste from dry to fruity and the rarities
and dessert wines are also a nice gift idea. Last but not least
is the souvenir shop at Friesenhaus. You find Hofbräu and
Warsteiner beer glasses, tea-specialties, typical
Fishermen-shirts, German magazines and more. For additional
information call Friesenhaus 830-625-1040 or visit our website
info@friesenhausnb.com or - even better - visit us in our
Friesenhaus German Restaurant & Bakery downtown New Braunfels.
Herzlich willkommen
