Uruguayans in Germany are people born in Uruguay who live in Germany, or German-born people of Uruguayan descent.
Overview[edit]
Generally speaking, Uruguayans went to Germany as part of a wave of emigration due to economic or political reasons. Many of them got established in Germany for decades.[1]
In the GDR[edit]
During the civic-military dictatorship in Uruguay, the German Democratic Republic received several exiled Uruguayan communists.[2] Maybe the most prominent of them was Marina Arismendi (a future Senator and Minister in the 2000s), who spent there many years as a Spanish-language teacher.[3]
Institutions[edit]
Uruguayans have their own institutions in Germany, such as the Deutsch-Uruguayische Gesellschaft e.V.[4]
