The First Portuguese in a German Town | ARTE.tv Documentary

In Groß-Umstadt, a small town in the Oberwald region of central Germany, a community of Portuguese workers arrived in the 1960s. Legend has it that a young Portuguese man was travelling through the area in 1962 when his motorbike broke down… and he never left, becoming the first Portuguese person to settle there. This documentary looks at the immigrant story between Portugal and Germany.

I live in Canada and honestly the meolodic music of Portugal always gave me a headache every time I heard it on our multicultural music channel. These unfortunate people came to Germany at a time when Portugal was one of the most backward countries in Europe. Today in Portugal has changed much and is now a haven of escape for refugees and a haven for people looking for a refuge from the English speaking world. Real estate prices have gone out of control in its major cities and many Portuguese can't even afford to buy a home in their own country if they are close to the main urban centers. Here in Canada the Portuguese are active in construction work where they have helped the construction boom that has facilitated the migration of millions of Third World migrants. The EU has helped Portugal to become a more livable place but for those that Portuguese that have migrated to Germany the prospects of future unemployment might just facilitate a backward trend much the same as for other European migrants to Germany looking for a better life. The faltering German economy coupled with the the huge number of Third World migrants is not a prosperous future scenario for anyone living in or coming to Germany.

@@cilasantana1771 Sim, de fato! Alguns séculos atrás, os escravos negros africanos emigraram para Portugal, onde acabaram por se tornar 13% da população portuguesa. Estes escravos africanos foram eventualmente e completamente assimilados pela população portuguesa. Estes europeus culturalmente enriquecidos acabaram por imigrar para a Alemanha, onde se tornaram uma parte cultural deste alemão à medida que se tornaram emigrantes estabelecidos. Estes trabalhadores portugueses sem instrução migrariam então para Portugal para construir as casas nas aldeias de onde emigraram. Espero que isso esclareça as coisas o suficiente para você.

As a portuguese guy that has never left the country it makes me sad that we keep glorifying people who move out. For a very long time, Portuguese people have had this mentality where "it's impossible to make it here, if you want to be someone in life you have to move abroad." Because of this, our country is now very old and stagnated. We have completely given up on our potential and our creative genius and have relegated ourselves to a position where we can only make it with foreign investment total outside dependence. Our country is dying and if the brightest minds hadn't left our country would be a much better place.

Isso do virar as costas ao país é muito bonito de se dizer... Não se trata de " if you want to be someone in life.." mas sim: "if you want to be debt-free for the Rest of Your Life!" Culpar as pessoas que tomaram a dificil decisão de deixar o sitio onde cresceram e afastar-se dos seus familiares e amigos porque o SEU país não lhes dá condiçoes para prosperarem sem que sejam refens dos bancos é deveras insensato e denota clara ingnorância relativamente à realidade de muitos emigrantes portugueses.

1. Não precisamos da Australia -até porque não tinhamos população para a povoar. 2.em vez de ficar com Ormuz e Mascate para sempre, podiamos ficar com Socotora, que visitamos quando a população ainda era Cristã. 3. Antes dos Holandeses já o Sri Lanka (a zona costeira) foi colónia. 4. Ficar com as colonia Holandesas da costa do Caribe e principalmente o Suriname, e juntar as Guianas ao Brasil é boa ideia. 5. O Uruguai como província do Brasil é boa ideia 6. Em Africa o Casamança (Senegal) Annobon e Fernando Pó (Guiné Equatorial), a bacía do Congo, e o mapa cor de rosa podiam ter sido portugueses. A ocupação do Congo-Kinshasa por exemplo já tinha sido meio acordada por várias potências Europeias até que Leopoldo lhes prometeu acesso livre num Estado do Congo. A Africa do Sul faz pouco sentido a Costa do Quénia e Tanzania faz mais. 7.Mandar a capital para o Brasil dava geito. E até para o interior do Brasil. A ideia é bem antiga (D. António Prior do Crato, D João IV, Marquês do Pombal). No século XIX haveria tecnologia suficiente para construir Brasilia. E constitucionalmente podiamos ter o Brasil mais directamente governado pelo Imperador-rei com uma carta constitucional e Portugal com uma constituição mais democratica (a de 1822) e claro um acordo dual tipo Austria-Hungria sobre as duas coroas. 8. Em vez anexar a Bolívia era mais natural anexar a Argentina 8. A Terra Nova dava geito (até os Brasileiros gostam de Bacalhau quanto mais nós) 😂 9. Timor precisa da ilha de Flores, que já foi nossa. 10. O desenvolvimento constitucional da Africa Austral Portuguesa poderia ser muito mais suave, principalmente se "bandeirantes e colonos Brasileiros" ajudam a explorar e colonizar o interior.

Notice how every community and society trives with Portuguese migration except Portugal itself. No crime, no graffiti, no social tension, no cultural confrontation. Just people going on with their lives and helping local community. Meanwhile we're here walking backwards quickly thanks to the fall of natality, growing rates of emigration, mass imigration from the 3d world, and a political elite that will soon force the emergence of a new Salazar to set things straight by force once they fall to the groung for good. Again. Politicians have destroyed Portugal and probably ended the nations identity and future. That's the legacy of the 25th April.

society is like a mosaic, but when you use brocken stones in that mosaic besides the brocken stones making it look bad it also compremises the structure of the mosaic

25th April was the best thing that could have happened to this country and was one of the happiest days of my life. Without 25th April this peripheral little country would be much worse because Salazar's regime destroyed the soul of Portugal, transformed our industrious people into frightened, starved, dwarved, sick and iliterate mindless zombies. Portugal backwardness is still a residual effect of an oppressive fascist regime that crushed our soul. Wasted billions by today's account and thousands of our young men died in a frivolous colonial that everybody knew lost already. Thousands of our best people emigrated to flee poverty and conscription. Salazar emptyed this country of our best people.

IP: Sorry I can’t agree with you Portugal has been surpassed by nearly all the East European countries and is now one of the poorest in the EU.

[@docdave1994]

I hate this kind of documentary. Arte tends to love portraying the Portuguese in their forever condescending stereotype of poor, illiterate, backward workers who went staffing German and French factories, and constructions sites in the 70's. Around the same time many poor germans left Germany for better oportunities in the US and elsewhere.

[@frapiment6239]

Germans, Italians, greek, Spanish etc.. the same stories but they just make documentaries about Portuguese immigration. My dislike for sure.

[@ruiferreira9025]

[@alvarobarcala]

So true! I'm from Spain but I have lived both in Germany and in Portugal, and Portuguese people are by far much more educated and cultured than Germans. Not to mention the human quality.

[@mariafilipe1356]

Why do you hate it ? Are you ashame of our history ? I liked this documentary, it reminded me my story. And I'm very proud of this portuguese that had the courage to leave the country to get a better live. If Portugal is a better country today is because we were able to see what was wrong because you can't fix something unless you can see the problem. Be proud of your country but don't pretend it's perfect. Isso não é amor é idolatria. Portugal precisa de amor.

[@frapiment6239]

@@mariafilipe1356 It is not a matter of shame, but it is not reasonable for them to systematically produce these documentaries focusing on Portuguese immigration, uncoupled from the exodus that at the same time devastated all of Europe from Germany to Italy via Greece, Hungary etc... These documentaries systematically focused on Portugal aim to perpetuate an image of a backward and poor Portugal that no longer exists but some insist on not disappearing from the European imagination.

Leia bem o q escreveu e reflita sobre. O facto do documentário ter um tom positivo,não quer dizer q fosse ou seja sempre assim. No início,foi dito q os alemães não conviviam com os portugueses e até o cheiro das comidas os chateava. Vou contar lhe um segredo : os portugueses não têm por hábito reclamar do país q os acolhe. Mesmo qd há dificuldades,falam sobre o assunto entre si e fica por aí. Já os brasileiros(ALGUNS)sâo muito mimizentos. É como se o mundo lhes devesse favores. E como deve calcular,a esses ninguém os quer por perto.

Portugal was very disappointing. It is one of the poorest countries in the EU and it was sad to see the state of the villages while driving around the country. You will only see the real Portugal when you leave behind the big cities(there aren’t many) and touristic areas.

[@frapiment6239]

Portugal is the 28th most prosperous country in the world and have the 39th highest HDI. It's clear you don't know what you're talking about.

[@Blurb111]

@@frapiment6239 what are you talking about? I lived in Europe all my life and know the continent very well. I drove from Madrid to Tavalavera la Reina, and from Badajoz to Lisbon. From Lisbon we went all the way to La Coruña. Never went back to Portugal and again, not much to see there, very poor villages and it was in the summer of 2018. In many places, it was just desert land, Portuguese people started leaving the country many years ago just because the way it is and because it doesn’t offer much opportunities.
