DESCRIPTION:

German-American Heritage Month is celebrated annually and coincides with German-American day, as proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and President Barack Obama in 2010.

German-American Heritage Month celebrates the German immigrants who came from Europe and lived on American soil in the first days of colonization and their immense contribution to the American culture.

On October 6, 1683, thirteen families from Krefeld, Germany, arrived in Philadelphia and created Germantown, Pennsylvania. It was the first settlement of Germans in what would become the United States.

Today, nearly a quarter of American citizens can trace their ancestry to Germany. Many modern American traditions also have their roots in Germany, Christmas included.
