F. C. Weinert Elementary was built in 1950 but it has had several upgrades since then. The school was named for Seguin's "Grand Old Man", Ferdinand Carl Weinert. He was born on July 14, 1853, in New Braunfels, Texas. He lived through slavery and the Civil War. By the time of his death on February 19, 1939, he had served his community in many ways. The city of Seguin built its water system in 1898 and added electric lights and the Starcke Park Dam in 1908 while he served as Justice of the Peace, County Commissioner and County Judge of Guadalupe County. Mr. Weinert also served as a State Legislator, Senator, Secretary of State, first Commissioner of Markets and Warehouses and State Tax Commissioner.
