History
Boerne came into being as an offshoot of the Texas Hill Country Free Thinker Latin Settlements, resulting from the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states. Those who came were Forty-Eighters, intellectual liberal abolitionists who enjoyed conversing in Latin and who believed in utopian ideals that guaranteed basic human rights to all. They reveled in passionate conversations about science, philosophy, literature, and music. The Free Thinkers first settled Castell, Bettina, Leningen, and Schoenburg in Llano County. These experimental communities were supported for one year by the Adelsverein, a group of German nobles. The communities eventually failed due to lack of finances after the Adelsverein funding expired, and also due to conflicts of structure and authority. Many of the pioneers from these communities moved to Sisterdale, Boerne, and Comfort.
