German Argentines (German: Deutschargentinier, Spanish: germano-argentinos) are Argentines of German ancestry as well as German citizens living in Argentina.
They are descendants of Germans who immigrated to Argentina from Germany and most notably from other places in Europe such as the Volga region and the Banat. Since Germany as a political entity was founded in 1871, the German language and culture have been more important than the country of origin, as the basis of the Argentine-German identity.
Some German Argentines originally settled in Brazil, then later immigrated to Argentina. Today, German Argentines make up the fifth-largest ethnic group in Argentina, with over two million citizens of Volga German descent alone.[7]
German Argentines have founded German schools such as the Hölters Schule and German-language newspapers such as the Argentinisches Tageblatt ("Argentine Daily").[8] German descendants even make up the majority of the population in several localities in the interior of the country.
