German Village is a historic neighborhood in Columbus, Ohio, just south of the city's downtown. It was settled in the early-to-mid-19th century by a large number of German immigrants, who at one time comprised as much as a third of the city's entire population. It became a city historic district in 1960 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, becoming the list's largest privately funded preservation district. Its boundaries increased in 1980, and in 2007, it was designated a Preserve America Community by the federal government. Today it is one of the world's premier historic restorations.
