 | | Hermann Seele, educator, public official, writer, and cultural leader, son of Jonas and Anna (Runge) Seele, was born in Hildesheim, Hannover, Germany, on April 14, 1823. |
 | | In the fall of 1876 Seele, as attorney, had to give his full attention to the suit of the Veramendi heirs, who sought to gain title to the Comal tract, upon which New Braunfels is built. |
 | | Seele's Sängerhaus (singers' hall), a thirty-by-eighty-foot brick structure built in 1855 beside the Comal River, was a center not only for singers but also for the New Braunfels Dramatic Society, in which Seele participated. |
