I have German heritage on both sides of my family. It was Waltrip (Waldtripp) on my Dad's side and Utterback (Otterbruch) on my Mother's side. There are a lot of German people in this part of the midwest. I believe both families were from Bavaria.

I actually learned a lot I hadn’t known. Also helped me to understand why my grandma, who’s parents had both emigrated from Germany with their families, and who’s first language was German, always claimed not to know it, and didn’t really talk about being German. She was born right after World War I and was married to a WWII veteran who loved to tease her by saying ich liebe dich, knowing she would be annoyed.

I knew about some of this, but also learned a lot of new things I did not know. Thank you, Feli. And thanks to your German heritage for all that you have contributed to our great country. I wish a very Merry Christmas to you and Ben.

My father's grandfather and grandmother were born and raised in Bussfeld, a tiny town near Giesen in the state of Hesse. He (and she) came to America as a married couple in their early 20s to escape being drafted into the German army under Kaisar Wilhelm in the early 1870s, I was told. He brought his trade with him to America, which was butchering and then selling various cuts of meat (he was a Fleischhauer, after all.)

What is your name? Butzow? That sounds very Slavic tbh but there is a municipality called Butzow way in the East of Germany close to our border to Poland. Might your grandfather have been from Upper Silesia or another very Eastern territory of Germany which perhaps isn’t even part of modern Germany anymore? A lot of the people who lived there were really Germanized Slavs. They were definitely well-integrated into German (or at the time really Prussian) society so I would definitely still consider them fully German but they had become German more recently and their Slavic roots still show to this day in their last names for example. Some of them from very Eastern territories that now belong to Russia and were forced to emigrate back to the now smaller German mainland after the war are still considered “Russlanddeutsche” and culturally distinct to this day. I’m not trying to tell you that your grandpa wasn’t German because Germanized Slavs definitely were German too and a lot of modern Germans have some Slavic ancestry (I’m as German as it gets but I think I might very well have some Slavic ancestry due to the fact that my grandma has roots in those slightly Eastern former territories with lots of Germanized Slavs). But I am wondering, that given your last name (if it is “Butzow”) which to be honest doesn’t sound very Germanic at all, your grandfather has similar roots.

There has been some debate in our family as to whether the town was named for a distant ancestor or a distant ancestor took our name from the town. It's my understanding that this part of the world has had large numbers of various peoples invade or immigrate over the centuries. I suspect my genetics come from all over the place. Thanks again for taking the time to fill me in.

Hallo Feli, as a half German/half American here and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you posting this video and doing the in-depth research and interviews that really bring this vid to life! So many Americans have no idea how German America actually is and that English is Anglisch [from the Anglo in Anglo-Saxons] and just how much Germans have contributed to both the U.S. and the world including the "English" they speak today - Vielen Danke!

The idea of Washington having 20-30k people at it's height at one point is amazing to me. I live in a relatively small city of 25k people in the middle of the US. It's just so little.

This was a really cool video! My grandfather was born in the US in North Dakota but ethnically he was 100% german. The community he grew up in still had a lot of german speakers and he actually grew up speaking both German and English. His family came from South Russia and was part of the Black Sea Germans (Schwarzmeerdeutsche) that immigrated there in the early 1800s. I took four years of German in high school so all I know is Hochdeutsch, but man, I really wish he had lived long enough for me to know what his dialect sounded like and how different it was from Standard German.

Thanks Feli! I am a third generation Washingtonian and while I have learned through relatives a lot of historical information, you have further enlightened me! Places and buildings have always fascinated me. Thank you for gleaning new details and data. I can't wait to further investigate them.

Fascinating educational history tour, Feli! I hope you can cover the German roots of Philadelphia. Years ago, research led me to learn that my Mexican mother had an 48'er Saxon ancestor, Ernst Karl Schaefer, who founded 2 German book publishing firms, first in Leipzig ,1844, and later in Philadelphia, 1848. The Horner library at the German Society of Pennsylvania in Philly preserves many German publishers' books and is a must see place. The younger brother, Moritz Schäfer, continued operations at the former publishing house which evolved into a water milling technical "verlag" which still bears his name to this day, almost 180 years ago. WWII destroyed the Leipzig book house, after which it moved west to Detmold, Lippe, North Rhine-Westphalia.

Twenty years ago my girlfriend and I drove through Nebraska and Missouri looking for people who still spoke German. In Eustis, Nebraska we saw that the city hall and public library still had signs in German. When we were looking at this a local asked what we were seeking, and she took us to the home of a very elderly woman named Ruth Kugel (surely deceased by now) who had lived through the First World War. She told us about the oppression of Germans during that war. Even telephone conversations were interrupted by the telephone operator if German was spoken. After the war, she told us, there was a backlash, and the English-speakers who had done this could not stay in Eustis, which became a German town. It's still full of ethnic Germans but they don't speak German now.

All of my fathers family is of German Descent, and my last name is angolized. My mothers grandma grew up in a German household in North Dakota(Her parents were Black Sea German, and immigrated to the states in 1905/1902 because of what was happening to fellow Germans, they went to the Russian Empire in 1815 from Baden Württemberg). I consider myself German and not apart of the “Old County”(Russian Empire). And my friends exchange student is from Germany. Merry Christmas from a Suburb of Columbus Ohio!

The Walking Liberty motif is still used on the American Eagle silver bullion coin. Another German immigrant, Felix Schlag, designed the Jefferson nickel.

"Fun fact". The first printed Bible in the Western Hemisphere was also in German (Christoph Saur - 1743). English-language Bibles (and not only) were imported from Europe. However, because the Germans were the core of the first printing houses in the USA (they had the know-how and equipment), they decided to print in German (probably imitating the printing of the Gutenberg Bible in 1454). At the time it was an event of historic importance, today it is completely forgotten, although it was an significant part of US history. Greetings to Feli from Australia.

My 6x Great grandfather immigrated from Germany to the US, 9 months later in July he volunteered to fight in the American Revolution, 4 months later he died of sickness from cold after George Washingtons New York campaign. Guy was only here for about a year before he died in Coryells Ferry (New Hope) along the Delaware 1 month before the Army crossed the Delaware there while Washington crossed more east. His son's lived on, one an officer and one enlisted in the Continental Army.
