Wrede School is located at 3929 S. State Highway 16, Fredericksburg, Gillespie County, Texas.

The land on which the schoolhouse sits was owned by Friedrich Wilhelm von Wrede Jr (1820–?)

He returned alone to Germany in 1843, but came back to Texas in 1844 as Adelsverein secretary to Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels.

He helped settle New Braunfels, and was one of the group who accompanied John O. Meusebach on the trip to make the 1847 Meusebach–Comanche Treaty.

[4] Friedrich Wilhelm von Wrede Sr. (1786–1845) was the author of Lebensbilder aus den vereinigten Staaten von Nordamerika und Texas (Sketches of life in the United States of North America and Texas) first published in 1844 and later reprinted in English in 1970.

He and New Braunfels botanist Oscar von Claren were scalped and killed by a tribe of Comanche Indians while camping about ten miles from Austin.
