He named it after his hometown, Solms-Braunfels in Hesse, Germany. The town was originally called Neu-Braunfels and most of its early inhabitants were German immigrants.
With no experience in running a business or in maintaining finances, Prince Solms soon had the finances of the colony in disarray. Prince Carls asked that he been relieved of the responsibility. His place was taken over by Baron Otfried Hans von Meusebach, who took on the name John O. Meusebach to assimilate himself in America. The settlers were however instigated to rebel against him. Nonetheless Meusebach was instrumental in putting the community's finances in order, and to get Neu-Braunsfels and Fredericksburg established.
By 1850, New Braunsfels was already the fourth largest town in Texas, albeit with a population of only 1,723 people. Today the city continues to celebrate its German heritage, holding an annual Wurstfest or "German sausage Festival" every November.
