Originally established in the 1800s by German-speaking settlers, German Village today is 233 acres of living history; a unique "outdoor museum" where the old meets the new in a revitalized community. More than 1,600 buildings have been renewed since 1960. The Village is one of the premier historic restorations in the world and the largest privately funded historic district on the National Register of Historic Places. People of all ages, backgrounds, incomes, and lifestyles today call German Village home. Though it is no longer any more German than any other part of Columbus, German Village is much like its 19th century counterpart -- a thriving community filled with hard-working, neighborly people, proud of the past and planning to preserve it for generations to come.
