About this Neighborhood

German Village is a historic neighborhood just south of downtown Columbus, settled by German immigrants who once made up as much as a third of the city's population. Designated a city historic district in 1960 and added to the National Register in 1974, it grew into one of the country's largest privately funded preservation districts. The brick-lined streets hold 30 restaurants at a 4.6 average, backed by 5,359 Yelp reviews. Foursquare regulars move from American and German kitchens to gift stores, candy stores, and delis, a mix that plays up the old-world charm.
