Submitted by: Rhoda Schmidt, great-great grandaughter of G.F. Grenwelge.

The Leiningen #2 Lutheran Church, on Charles Grenwelge land south of the Llano River,

was built around 1905 or 1906. Records show that Charles Grenwelge, son of George

Friederich and Johanna Grenwelge, deeded the property to the church on 2/21/1907.

Another name for the Leiningen Church is the Zion Lutheran Church. Close to the church

was the cemetery known as the G.F. Grenwelge cemetery. After the church burned, St.

John Lutheran Church was built near Castell in 1925. Only the cemetery remains.
