Texas Avenue in Schnitzelburg




Morgan Street in Schnitzelburg




The area was first plotted in 1866 by D.H. Meriwether and known as Meriwether's Enlargement, but actual construction didn't begin until 1891 when a streetcar line extended to the intersection of Goss and Texas Avenues. The first residents in Schnitzelburg were immigrants who arrived there from Germany: "Schnitzel" refers to a food dish, popular with Austrians and Germans.



Culture[edit]


Schnitzelburg is famous for a street ball game called "Dainty," where a flat, bat-like stick is used to strike another stick on the ground, making it airborne, which is then hit like a baseball as far as possible. Every last Monday in July the World Dainty Championship is held in the neighborhood, at the corner of Goss Avenue and Hoertz Avenue, site of Hauck's Handy Store. The Dainty is a fund raiser for the Little Sisters of the Poor, and it brings the community together for some great fun. Contestants must be 45 and older to play the Dainty.[1]
