Schaeferkoeter Cemetery

Spring Branch, Texas

Schaeferkoeter Cemetery, sometimes spelled Schaefoketer, is a small historic family cemetery located near Spring Branch in Comal County, Texas. The cemetery is associated with early German-Texan settlers who established ranches and farms in the Hill Country during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Like many rural family cemeteries in the Spring Branch area, Schaeferkoeter Cemetery reflects a time when families buried loved ones on their own land, preserving close family ties and honoring generations who lived, worked, and worshiped in the surrounding community. The cemetery serves as a quiet reminder of the pioneering spirit and cultural heritage that shaped western Comal County.

Though modest in size and privately maintained, Schaeferkoeter Cemetery holds historical significance as part of the broader network of family burial grounds that document the settlement patterns, traditions, and legacies of early Hill Country families. Today, it stands as a place of remembrance, reflection, and connection to the region’s deep roots.
