Located thirty-six miles northeast of Austin, Wuthrich Hill stands at the intersection of CR 417 and CR 419 in Eastern Williamson County. To get there from Taylor, Texas, go east on Hwy 79; north on CR 619; east on CR 412; and north on CR 417. It is named for a Swiss settler, Christian Gottfried Wuthrich, who immigrated to Texas, and in 1888, settled in the locality. In 1894 a group met for the purpose of organizing The Evangelical Lutheran St. James Congregation of Wutherich Hill. On May 31, 1896 the Church was dedicated. In the 1880s immigrants from Bern, Switzerland settled in a nearby community on now CR 414. They named the settlement "New Bern" for their native "Bern". St. Paul's Lutheran Church was organized in 1893 and a large wooden church was erected in 1912. This building was moved to Wuthrich Hill in 1948 when the congregations of St. Paul's Lutheran Church of New Bern and Evangelical Lutheran church St. James of Wuthrich Hill merged. The united congregations named their church Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. This Church is still active today.
