Naegelin's Bakery

Naegelin's Bakery, a New Braunfels institution for 142 years, was founded by Edouard Naegelin, Sr. who came to town in 1868 with a sack of flour and less than a dollar cash in his pocket.

His first bakery in New Braunfels was in the Goldebagen building located at the site of the present City Hall. In 1870 he moved to the present title, on South Seguin Avenue, and bought the property in 1874.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward Naegelin and their two children lived in the apartment above the bakery. Mrs. Naegelin's lively conversation was as much an attraction as her products. She knew by heart the wants of her regular customers.

In the early days, bread was delivered as soon as it was ready, hot from the oven, in a delivery wagon that went up one street and down another ringing a loud metal ball. Bread for the regular patrons was left on the customer's porches usually in a container provided by them for that purpose. Sometimes a hungry pet discovered the bread before the family did and this necessitated a trip to the bakery at the customer's expense.
