In certain pockets of Southern Brazil, cobbled streets and half-timbered houses appear among the Brazilian countryside. Michael meets the inhabitants of Pomerode, a small town which very much keeps alive the spirit of its 19th century German founders.

The German-Brazilians from Pomerode descend from Germans from Pomerania which is in North Germany. The typical clothes, music and traditions depicted here are from Bavaria, in the South. In the 1970s, a city in Southern Brazil called Blumenau had a huge flood and to gain money for the city, they sent a group of people to Munich's Oktoberfest and copied a lot of the concept to create a Brazilian version in Blumenau. It was a success and other southern cities with a strong German descent started doing the same to celebrate their ancestors and create tourism. That is why almost all German communities in Southern Brazil have adopted Bavarian costumes.
This is almost kind of scary to realize because it means that cities and small towns were already unsustainable back then a hundred years ago. Since "tourism" is such a desperate attempt at making money anyway. It's quite weird to me this concept of "tourism" as exists in our "modern" world.
@@WithJupiterInMind It was not unsustainable at all. The city was originally built near a river. When the city expanded quickly in the mid 20th century (1950s an on) bad public administration didn't properly build water evacuation systems. There was a historic rainy season in 1970 and the river flooded more than it had ever done. They have since took measurements to avoid this happening again.
@@gsahrens The flood was in 83'
Im pretty sure those people were nazis escaping the war
Pomeranians voluntarily copying Bavarian culture shows how disconnected they are from german culture xD

quite wrong. Very few germans immigrated to Brazil at WW2.
Most germans came in the 19th century, because of Princess Leopoldina and her connections in the germanic world and the need for the brazilian empire to populate southern Brazil (and prevent platina invasions)
Just as one example, Gremio was founded by german descendants, in 1903.
...
@Rockin Robin Actually no, Germans, Italians, etc, came at the mid 1800's till late 1800's to Brazil. @rogerpenna is right, very few germans came to Brazil after WW2, most of them gone to Argentina, or USA. Did you know, Mengele, a Na*i "scientist" who made a lot of experiments with jews, died in São Paulo state in 1970? And that Rudel, the most condecorated soldier ever (he has over 2500 bombing missions, and a lot of condecorations) came to Brazil at the end of his life (1980-82)? That's very cool to know, because even that Brazil was not one of the top spots to come after WW2, it was still a great place to go.
As Grêmio was a football club founded by germans, this was the only ethnicity accepted there. Football players that were black or Italian couldn't be part of the team (typical early XX century racism and xenophobia), so in 1909, Internacional was founded in order to welcome all kinds of people. The derby between them is known as "Gre-Nal", and it's seen as one of the most intense rivalries in the South American football.
The first black footballer in Grêmio only came in the 50's (Tesourinha, a former Inter's striker) and until recently, their supporters used to name Inter's rooters as "monkeys".
Thank God times have changed and racism is not being tolerated as it used to be. You barely see racial discrimination in Grêmio's supporters nowadays.
@sem ideia Me deu vontade de conhecer, isso que eu sou gaúcha e nunca vi a cultura germânica assim, eu achei que era uma festa haha
@@takahashi111 The difference is that Mengele & Co. entered Brazil illegally, contrary to the USA where official and scientists Nazis entered that country invited by the the local government to make that country a "superpowel. Never heard about the infamous Operation Papperclip? And the Germanics started arriving in Brazil right after the discovery of this Land. The Germanics were abord of the first squadron that arrirved here." The first Germans to set foot on Brazilian soil were with Pedro Álvares Cabral's squadron in April 1500. They were artillerymen from a Portuguese military unit that accompanied the squadron. German texts are also the first to use the term “Brazil” for the lands where Cabral had landed." That is what the history says. Brazil has history.
@Junker Haimarmene I seriously don't know if you're trying to get attention or what, but the club you mentioned is not german. Grêmio was founded by immigrants (mostly germans) in Brazil. Therefore, it is a brazilian club.
Why accept black people on the team? Because it is a sport and one of the basic principles of sport is inclusion. If a person does not understand that, he/she shouldn't even be watching or commenting about it.
Calling someone ANYTHING in reference to their biological characteristics with the intention to offend them, is JUST RACIST. That's nothing to do with being aggressive, just with the fact that the agressor is a criminal and belong in jail being a black guy's girlfriend, if you know what I mean...
Simple life, happy life, and a fulfilling life.

Thats whats funny about this people. They are very proud of their ancestors, but keep some stupid traditions from the XIX century that no modern german recognize, while they are actually full brazilians, on language and culture. These people eat the famous meat from southern brazil, and watch soap operas and brazilian soccer. But i bet if you ask them they will come out with a racist comment about being superior and not connected to brazil.
@@yurischuelter3303 It doesn't hurt me. I'm a PhD economist. Stupid comments like "duhhh my white region is sooo developed" only shows the intellectual and moral levels of those who say that.

Please write your phone number if possible.
Interesting. Sometimes I think we Brazilians suffer from some kind of collective depression, always searching for our lost identities. Many find it in their ancestors, others find it in their cities/states. And we can pick and choose from a variety of ancestors and places. In a country so diverse, much of it's current and past culture is bound to be lost, but it is fun to remember the past.
Thats true.
That's race mixing for you. No identity or tribe. Sad shit.

leo marcucci Eu sou português e devo dizer que a maior desgraça do Brasil é a mistura de raças que aí ocorreu ao longo do tempo. Os meus antepassados não souberam devidamente colonizar esse local, e misturaram-se com os índios e os negros, gerando a decadência que se vê. Só o sul, onde a população é mais homogénea, é que escapa.
+Seth Keenan Não houve nenhum problema, mesmo eu sendo descendente de portugueses ainda carregando sobrenome, digo que o país é perfeito assim. A miscigenação do Brasil fez com que as pessoas ficasse mais bonitas, ter uma predominância de sré louro dos olhos azuis não é grau de beleza, se você quer dizer que o seu país errou ao ter achado o Brasil isso eu concordo.
Lucas Matheus Não concordo, não acredito que essa mistura de raças seja benéfica. E não, não errou em descobrir o Brasil, mas sim no método de colonização.
+Seth Keenan Antes de a corte portuguesa fugir para o Brasil, era exploração e não colonização, depois que aqui foi um império foi colonização.
Lucas Matheus Sim, contudo, acho que deveriam ter intercalado entre exploração e povoação. Ao invés de irem homens sozinhos, deveriam ter ido famílias inteiras povoar essas terras. É essa a minha visão.

Oktoberfest of Feliz, Oktoberfest of Santa Cruz do Sul, Oktoberfest of Blumenau, Oktoberfest of Igrejinha, it goes on... This video is about Pomeranians, but in my state, many germans came from Hunsrück and Prussia. The dialect is Hunsruckisch.

Since the south of Brazil was quite empty at the time, and prone to invasion by the recently independent Argentina, the Emperor decided to settle southern Brazil with immigrants from Germany (which was not unified in the time), since his wife had knowledge of the culture and connections across the germanic world.
Germanic immigration officially started in Brazil when the first couples from Germany founded what is now São Leopoldo, 30km north of Porto Alegre.
Brazil is not only the flower of America, it is the greatest multi ethnic nation on earth.
this makes us proud, we are a multicultural people, proving to the world that regardless of their ethnic origins we can live in the same place. Long live the land of multiculturalism, Long live the beloved homeland BRAZIL
to my area of southern Brazil, most immigrants were from western Germany. Rhineland-Palatinate. And the dialect spoken by older people or people in smaller towns is the Hünsruckisch.
ps: yup, I live in Novo Hamburgo, but I am of mixed spanish-portuguese-dannish-italian descent.
Read about Hunsruckisch German (Rheinland-Palatinate) and about the Germans from Russia (especially Volga Germans among others). These are the people who settled in Brazil. Check out Wikipedia for info on German settlements in S.A.
@@daylightmoon7285 I was going to ask if there was a way to know from what region the german settlers came from. All german settlers came from the same region? Or were they different waves from different regions? And what is there about the "germans from russia" that differentiates them from the others?
@@WithJupiterInMind I'm also interested about that, but never researched very deeply about it to learn wether there is or not precise information about all the specific places of germany the germans came from and where each settled, but I'm aware there are many people who came from Hunsrück, pomerania and Bavaria, no sure about the rest.. I've learned there are 3 german dialects spoken in Rio Grande do Sul, but since all german communities are isolated from each other this number must have increased even more.. there's so much to learn about that and I wish in the future I could make a college issue about that or even a RUclips video

These people are not NAZI descendants. German immigrants of the late XIX century built these settlements. There are today more than ten millions of german-brazilians in the country. Some nazis fled to south brazil and argentina after WW2, but they did not founded any city.
Exactly, Nazi Germans went to Argentina and Chile after the war, Brazil received Germans at the time of the unification of germany in 1861, my family migrated to Rio de Janerio to colonize the region what would later be called Petrópolis.
They "founded" Bariloche, but that's is in Argentina.
My family originated in Holy Roman Empire and immigrated in 1928, when my great grandfather (a swiss) came to Belo Horizonte. We still have a lot of his stuffs and his parent's stuff.

We see them as normal ppl and we just expect from them peace and friendship. Unfortunately some comments in here show the ignorance based on nazi arguments. Throughout Brazil we have groups of immigrants from everywhere and they're free to practice their culture, like the japanese, chinese, other europeans, other latin americans and so on.
I live in brazil, in Sao paulo, in south east brazil. Here the ethnicity of most peoples are Spanish, portuguese, italians, japanese and jewish, as well as black and indian. Now in south brazil, there are a lot of germans and german descendants, major cities in southern brazil are kind of german. Its pretty cool
Its Indigenous, not indian
i 'm from Minas Gerais and im from German and Dutch decent...we're not a nazi experiment why people say that.
Because the German regions Pomerania, East Prussia, Silesia and Eastern Brandenburg were ethnically cleansed and the Polish who took the homes and farms of the Germans like to portray them all as Nazis. In order to justify the ethnic cleansing of 14 million Germans and the subsequent murder of over 2 million German civilians Polish try to distort history.
It is due to the well known fact that over 10,000+ high ranking Nazi Officers fled to South America, guys like
Josef Mengele and Adolf Eichmann...
Literally some of the most despicable humans to exist on this earth. You can easily look up the horrible things that they did, Paul Shäfer, Colonia Dignidad in Chile being one example.
I cannot recommend looking up what they did, it's atrocious and will not make you feel any better for knowing...Take my word for it or Just read a little about it all, then you will know and understand why? Some people are deserving of the hatred they receive, you are obviously not a Nazi experiment. But if you reside in those communities that were founded, you may share that heritage. Some people say the (now) descendants of what (past) Nazis were trying to create would something more evil and horrific each generation. I do not believe that myself, the world is small enough now to change such things from happening.
+Ben Rose Before World War II, a third of Poland's population was composed of ethnic minorities. After the war, however, Poland's minorities were mostly gone, due to the 1945 revision of borders, and the Holocaust. Under the National Repatriation Office, millions of Poles were forced to leave their homes in the eastern Kresy region and settle in the western former German territories. At the same time approximately 5 million remaining Germans (about 8 million had already fled or had been expelled and about 1 million had been killed in 1944-46) were similarly expelled from those territories into the Allied occupation zones. Ukrainian and Belarusian minorities found themselves now mostly within the borders of the Soviet Union; those who opposed this new policy (like the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in the Bieszczady Mountains region) were suppressed by the end of 1947 in the Operation Vistula. After the war, most Germans were expelled from Poland and the annexed east German territories, while many Ukrainians, Rusyns and Belarusians lived in territories incorporated into the USSR.
LilMizzKiwi1 because a lot of Nazis fled to South America
The Germans are failed Aryans. They started and lost two world wars. That is why the US military will never leave Germany. They will buck up again.

I live 60 miles away from Pomerode... In southern Brazil, especially in the state of Santa Catarina, German Culture is very strong. My girlfriend's grandparents have come from Germany and she is more German than most germans in Germany nowadays as she doesn't follow the sharria neither wear face hiding clothes. Here, the cultures of the 19th century immigrants are still cultivated. It's the same for Italians, Basque, Polish, Ukrainians and so on.
What are you talking about??? Sharria in Germany?? Is she Muslim? Arab??
And here I thought Rambo was coming back for his very last mission.
info for those who are interested in history: when Brazil became independent of Portugal, Brazil became an Empire. The Portuguese prince, Dom Pedro I, son of the Portuguese King John VI, became Brazilian Emperor.
Since he was from an european noble house, he got married to the austrian archduchess, Maria Leopoldine von Österreich, daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Francis II.

Pomeranian they say? Looks to me like they just googled "german stereotypes"
Indeed. Pomeranians, northeastern Germans with a bavarian/austrian culture.
This is strange if not a bit funny or ridiculous.
Most German imigrants came from southwestern Germany.
@@rudolfkraffzick642Yeah… but they do speak plattdeutsch. Oktoberfest is a way of many little cities that have more than 90% of german heritage to do some money. I think in some way they’re slightly better than germany cus no muslim bs. Unfortunately some Germans prefer Paraguay nowadays
There`s a German community in the middle of Jamaica too.
Gentleman is one of my favorite Reggae music singers. He is German.
I am a German, proudly born and raised. And that there... is pretty damn Deutsch!
Totally agreed! Unfortunately, people think that the only place that received immigrants was the Southern Brazil. The immigrants are still coming! Specially because of the economical crisis in Europe and the possibility to travel somewhere else more easily. We're product of immigrants all over Brazil, mixed or not, we are. The funny thing is that commonly the indians are treated as strange people but they were here just before all the immigrants arrival.
Geraldo Magno this is really interesting to see a country like Brazil hosts many different migrants! Even Indians?!!
Indians are people from the Indian subcontinent. You mean Brazilian natives. It's just less potential for confusion. Keep in mind, it's not your fault. It's the language. Columbus made the mistake of thinking America was India, and that has somehow lead to this strange linguistic virus that keeps being repeated.
@Jormangandur83 I hear you. True - good points. :)
@Jormangandur83 thing is in brasil we call "indios" those who are natives and "indianos" those that come from india. When people say in english "indians" it will cause confusion to brazilians
Pomerode, descendentes de pomeranos, mais na prática a cultura pomerana foi substituida por trajes da Bavaria, e costume daquela região.
I’m from São Paulo brazil, but on my moms side I’m Italian, and on my dads I’m Greek.
São Paulo is the real mashup. But you really love Japanese, Arabs and Armenians.
If you delve deeper into this you know why they are there and who their grandparents would have been.
I clicked on this thinking it was sylvester stalone, but now I get to learn about one of my favorite topics. Win some lose some

Yes, but all of Pomerania (with the exception of Pomerelia which is sometimes considered part of Pomerania) was part of Prussia/Germany before WWII and was totally German-speaking with Germans being expelled from the currently Polish part in 1945. So I wouldn't really be surprised if ancestors of those Brazilian Pomeranians had come from the Polish part.
Hello! Sure that the Pommeranians came also from the part that is now Poland! Those Pommeranians speak their Pommeranian language and the german language(wich is very different from each othet). For example many came from the province called today Koezalin, on the Baltic sea.
Today Germany don't consider these people as Germans or descendents! Neither Poland! This is very sad!
I want to go to this part of brazil.
The Pomerans do not mix with anyone except themselves, only in a northern state where their culture is lost a little, but they do not mix with other peoples and if possible only with other Germans. If you are German you can marry a woman. Their culture.
@@jeancarloslopes6425 Me and my dad are of German blood.
@@jersey2450 Only German? I think not.
@@jeancarloslopes6425 I didn't say only german :l
@@jersey2450 My English is bad. I meant that you are not just German blood.
so many questions that could've been asked, so many experiences that could've been explored! and it was all just dancing lol
Brazil is an multicultural country. 🇧🇷 fun place
I love Brazil, from America 🇧🇷❤🇺🇸
*only the south
@@sergiogonzales330 no
I wouldn't be surprised if those young dancers are all sons and nephews of the motorcycle guy. Pomeranians have huge families (I have 14 cousins). There's always big feasts.
My great-grandmother came from Germany and has 95 years ...
my family is in Brazil since 1925
This settles it. Germany is done for. There are less germans than turks/refugees now.
I will move to brazil than and I think it will be quite fun :)
rampking1 I am honestly very scared
***** do you even live in germany?
Please consider that turks are in most cases NOT nice people here in germany. Sure, the older ones are. The ones who came here the first were worried they might not be accepted here in our society so they worked very hard. But the 3rd-4th or even 5th generation do not care about being accepted. They already are "german" citizens.
You need to understand, that German kids are a minority in Germany nowadays. Yes, you heard right. 10 years ago, when I was in the elementary school in Germany there were about 50% foreigners and 50% Germans. They always took our milk and threatened to bring their families and beat us up. They had knives and took out money, even at the age of 9. I am lucky enough to go to a gymnasium. The best education you can get for free in Germany. here are 80% german and we do not have any trouble with the foreigners and crime. But just look at the hauptschulen in Germany. look up "rütli schule", a school full on immigrants and there is always crime. kids even died because they were German. Last year at Halloween me and one of my polish friends were fucking threatened with knives and thrown with fire works at because we were "German".
The lower your education level, the more immigrants you will find, and don't argue about that. That is a fact, look it up or even better. See it for yourself.
So if you dare to compare me with a nazi, (which is absolute bullshit. But well, what is there to expect from a lower educated person, who seems to not know how to argue any better than just flat out call me names) then you should at least VISIT GERMANY, and live with the constant threat of being stabbed because of your race in YOUR OWN COUNTRY. Or better forget that. I do not want any more turks like in my country.
And just so you know it. The current german population under the age of 5 in germany makes up only ~25% of the ethnic groups in germany. Look it up for yourself.
I might join you in Brasil if Germany goes Muslim and the USA goes socialist.
rampking1 that would be nice.
I don't know how things will end up in germany, but I would really like to keep it german.
If however, there is no other way than to flee to brasil, I would really like to build a new german society there.
+Quote The biggest and longest lasting problem in Brasil is that it has no leader, only a bunch of central-left and far left political groups. Many voted left as a path to rid the country of rampant corruption, and under President Lula and his hand-picked successor Dilma Rousseff it looked like Brasil was on it's way to greatness.However, that whole dream has gone up in a puff of smoke, now Brasil has strangled itself with Socialism as well as the usual corruption, a two headed monster.You know it is bad when I saw an anti-government demonstration in Rio de Janeiro where there were many signs asking for the military to step in a launch a coup, and then have new general elections later ( like what happened in Egypt)It will be an interesting summer in Germany this year, Merkel is still inviting in more refugees
I myself live in a city called Novo Hamburgo, with 250 thousand people, and only old people still speak any german.
In São Paulo, we could say its italians who assimilated the rest haha. While in NY the Rockefellers dominated, who dominated São Paulo in the beginning of the 20th century were the immigrant family MATARAZZOS. And the first skyscraper in the city was the MARTINELLI building.
Where is the rest of it?
Looks wonderful.
I am brazilian and my grandfather came from Bavaria, Brazil is a melting pot
THIS IS THE BRAZIL WE NEED
Damn I wanna go to Brazil and hang out with the Germans
Go hang out with them in Germany.
@@Ed17908problem is that they have to deal with PC and migrants
The Brazilian government gave them a free invite and a bunch of free stuff to bring them here as a part their immigration package. The Brasilian Govt didn’t like the fact that Brasil was so black. Brasil isn’t a racial democracy but more like a mixed mut. No insult intended. This helped mix the Brasilian population. To lighten her up a bit and to give her some ligitamacy. This is other reason that Santa Catarina is the most prosperous and safest state in Brasil. It’s almost another country unto its self. You can be sure that some Nazis are sprinkled in the population
It's true. There is an ocurrence of neonazi groups in SC
If they're Pomeranian, why are their outfits Bavarian?
Because their original culture was surpressed during WW1 and WW2 (Brazil was a part of the allies in both), so when restrictions on German culture ended, most people had lost their cultural connection to their homeland and adopted a more "stereotypical" German culture. Same thing happened to Italians and Japanese immigrants to Brazil
You can find pomeranian culture in this two specific cities: Canguçu - RS, and Santa Maria de Jetibá - ES. People of Pomerode are more germans than pomeranians
@@h-p2908 Many of us, pomeranian descendants, do not consider ourselves germans.
When immigrants came to South America, Pomerania was still Pomerania, not part of Germany. And the pomeranian language of Brazil is different from the pomeranian dialect of Germany because of this
Because they want to look or act german but they have no idea 😂😂
The most pomeranian city in Brazil is located in Espírito Santo State, called Santa Maria de Jetibá, has amost 30 thousand people. Is not Pomerode
It's funny because no one in Pommerania would wear a Bavarian lederhosen
That's a tourism construction in the South of Brazil, they use the cultural aspects from another places of Germany like the October Fest to be more attractive for the tourists
1:59 bro has some suspect pins
I made a mistake. I meant players who did had indirect Irish roots and English. Don't forget, many immigrants also changed their last names because of difficulty of pronounciation. Gremio for sure is founded by mainly by Germans, but also by the british (the symbol in their flag says it all). Other famous examples of teams that are founded by brits in Brazil are Fluminense and Corinthians (mainly scottish). Yes I'm a researcher that needs to do more homeowork.
*BRAZIL IS VERY GOOD, BEAUTIFUL 😎😎😎🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷*
I think Dwight popped out of this place straight to the office in Scranton.
love this video
I am Brazilian descendant of Vènetos(alpine region of italy) i live in the State of Santa Catarina which Pomerode belongs, The video shows some guys wearing a hat with a edelweiss thas ridiculous, this flower grows in the alps not in the plains of pomerania. The people dresses as Bavarians, Catholic Germans from south not protestants from north
Yeah, that's also why they are funnier.
I know right! Since when are the Pomeranians Bavarians?
@@joaov.m.oliveira9903 Totally, Southern German is way better than the North. The same goes for the USA and Brazil, except Italy, the North is in another level.
It's a bit weird, yes, but northern Germany is so bleak. Bavaria is colourful.
Notice how clean and good it is.
and for people who think that they are the descendants of the nazis that fled after the WW2, *you're wrong* most of the ethnic germans in south america moved before WW2, some of them even already did it in 19th century, just like most ethnic germans in the US and the volga germans in russia who are also not descendants of the nazis because russian tsarina Catherine The Great/Yekaterina II was actually ethnic german and she told them to move in to russia to get some land and live
yeah but even though they aren't nazi descendants they still seem like good European people
