The only thing that is shown about Brazil abroad is Rio de Janeiro and the Amazon, so many people have no idea what the country really is like. The reality is surprising.

I recommend another great german town in Brazil... Gramado. Greetings from Argentina

[@tuannamduong9860]

[@johnterry3312]

[@lfsg689]

@@johnterry3312 Yes, they are really german towns. Gramado is a touristic place, very charming, with a bavarian architecture, but it's first settlers and main builders were italians. See that the italian immigrants that came to that region in the 19th century were from northern Italy, that belonged to the Austrian Empire and had great german influence. Here everybody moves and mixes, and also the germans that started to come to the Sinos River valley since 1823 left millions of descendants, and many went to the region known as Serra Gaúcha, the mountains that were first occupied by italians. Gramado is one of many cities in the Serra. This is about the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost brazilian state, where I live. I don't know much about the neighbor state of Santa Catarina and its german cities like Pomerode and Blumenau.

Oh cool, our country is so amazingly diverse and full of surprises. I am from Northern Ceara and we are so different to you guys in terms of culture, climate and history. Whilst you guys are mostly of Portuguese, Italian, Polish and German descent, we are the descendants of the Tabajara, Tremembe, Potiguara, Portuguese and Angolans. There are many indigenous communities up here, and a lot of African influence as well as Dutch because we were once a Dutch colony. Our weather is around 30C all year round and we are a very dry and coastal region, with lots of mangroves and dunes. Anyway, much admiration from a fellow Brazilian!

[@calebe9060]

Maybe it's the most german city in Brazil by number of descendents and the architecture. But I can assure you that are a lot of smaller towns that almost are fully descendents from germans and speaks old german and extincted old germanics languages in Europe.

Blumenau is in the state of Santa Catarina, but the state of Rio Grande do Sul is the most Germanic in Brazil, and has the most developed and independent culture. Santa Catarina has an immense desire to be accepted nationally, its population supports football teams in Rio de Janeiro, and they make an immense effort to publicize their ocktober to attract the attention of the rest of the country, it is literally a German carnival, the ocktoberfest Rio Grande do Sul and Paraná are reserved for their German population, including a more developed cultural and musical wealth.

Zimmermam is a jewish last name right?

[@kapuzinergruft]

Very unlikey, because jewish people for centuries were not allowed handycraft jobs in guildes. Zimmermann means carpenter.

[@ark6382]

Absolutly not. Zimmermann is so German. Like Müller or Fischer. German Jewish Names are more like Goldstein, Rosenberg or Zuckerberg. A lot Stein and Berg at the end of the Surname.

[@SEMPER-HERES]

Have you ever listened about the Zimmermann telegram?

[@carlosdoriaespitia]

Actually many Jewish last names like Rosenberg, Spielberg, Spilman, etc comes from the Yiddish language, which is technically an old variety of German with influence of Slavic languages like Ukrainian and Russian as well as Semitic languages like Hebrew and Aramaic. This Yiddish language dispite that is a Germanic language, is written with the Hebrew alphabet. If you can ask a native or fluent German speaker, he/she will surely understand this Yiddish language. Forgot to mention, this Yiddish language is spoken specially by ethnic Jewish community called Ashkenazi, which used to live mostly in Western Europe and Central Europe like in Poland, they their population was almost vanished in the WWII. Today most of these communities live in New York, Israel and Argentina.

[@Jure-xc4no]

ashkenazi jews have no last names of their own. they have adopted german (spielberg, goldstein, zukerberg...) and slavic (abramowitz, manishewitz, wolowitz... witz is pronounced as vich). original jewish lasn names are ben something (ben hur, ben gurion, ben moshe...)

@@armandoguimaraesoliv O território e o povo alemão tem pelo menos dois mil anos de história entre Romanos, Vikings e Celtas. O Brasil tem menos de 200 anos, cara. A Alemanha era cheia de barracos e cabanas que os vikings construíam com carvalhos e pinheiros. Até hoje tem favelas na Itália, por exemplo. A diferença é que são tão antigas quanto desabitadas; tornaram-se pontos turísticos na Toscana.
