German Angolans are the descendants ofGerman settlers in the nation ofAngola.
German immigrants toPortuguese Angola started to appear in the mid-19th century. They took part in the founding and initial growth of the coastal city ofMoçâmedes in the 1850s.
More German immigrants came to Angola in the 20th century, with about 1,400 immigrating between 1915 and 1930. After Angolan independence and the subsequentcivil war that occurred, most German Angolans left the county for Europe (both Germany &Portugal, depending on their choice), though some families remain, mainly in the town ofCalulo, as well as the capital,Luanda.[1] Other German Angolans left for Namibia, which was a German territory and where the remaining colonial German population lives and Portuguese and black Angolan refugees also left for, & others along with Portuguese settlers and black Angolans left for Portuguese-speaking country of Brazil, where there is a visible presence of German population & culture and where the largest German population outside Germany lives.
Until 1975, there was a German-language school inBenguela called the Deutsche Schule Benguela.[2]
In 2023, a group of eight Low GermanMennonite families settled in Angola from a colony in Mexico, near the town ofMalanje, becoming the first such settlement on the African continent.[3]
