Hedwig Village: A Tight-Knit Community with a Rich History 

Hedwig Village, one of the Memorial Villages, has a unique story rooted in the settlement of German immigrants in the 19th century. Named after Hedwig Jankowski Schroeder, who arrived in 1906 and made her home in the area, the Village carries a legacy of strong community ties. Incorporated in 1954 to avoid annexation by Houston, Hedwig Village has maintained its distinct identity, embracing its “country-like atmosphere” while adapting to growth and change.

On Point Custom Homes recognizes the special character of Hedwig Village, where residents value their close-knit community and local governance. The Village boasts its own police department, formed in 1977, and participates in the Village Fire Department, serving all of the Memorial Villages. The Spring Branch-Memorial Library, with its roots in a small classroom at St. Francis Episcopal Church, now serves as a valuable resource for the community. Hedwig Village’s commitment to preserving its history is evident in the historical markers that tell the story of early settlers like the Schroeders.
