Hedwigs Hill is an unincorporated farming and ranching community, established in 1853, just off U.S. Highway 87, located 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Art in southern Mason County, Texas, United States. It was settled by the overflow of German settlers from nearby Fredericksburg, among them Christopher Voges and Louis Martin. Martin's mother and daughter were both named Hedwig, and the town is believed to have been named for them.
