Germans in Korea
Germans in Korea have a long history, though they have never formed a very large population. A small number of Germans lived in Korea prior to the 1905 Eulsa Treaty, which deprived Korea of the right to conduct its own foreign relations, and many more private individuals had departed by the time of the 1910 Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty.[1] However, when Hermann Lautensach visited Korea in 1933, there were still a handful living there, including an entire monastery of Benedictine monks near Wonsan, Kangwon.[2] Some Koreans settled in Germany during the 1960s and 1970s have begun returning to South Korea after retirement, bringing German spouses with them; this return migration has resulted in the creation of a "German Village" of roughly 75 households in South Gyeongsang's Namhae County.[3]
