Description
Scandinavian Germans consist of ethnic German who are native or who migrated to the Scandinavian Union. Scandinavian Germans natively live mostly in the German-majority constituent Duchy of Holstein, where two-thirds of them live, as well as the german majority Dominion of Pomerania, the Southern counties of the Kingdom of Denmark, belonging to the historical Duchy of Schleswig and descendant of Middle-Age german settlers in the current Kingdom of Estonia-Livonia. Significant communities exist all across the union, particularly in the Øresund Metropolitan Area, Stockholm and to a smaller extent, the Scandinavian oversea territories.

While many Scandinavians speak german, as it is often taught in school, German Scandinavian often take pride in both their origins and country. Holsteiner writers such as Thomas Mann, Theodor Storm or Margarete Böhme helped to make German an equal to the Norwegian Language or Finnish inside the Union - Not quite comparable to Danish or Swedish however, and are well known in all the German Speaking countries and communities of Europe and the World.

Regional language policies help german to thrive, and there is almost no assimilation by the larger Scandinavian population, mainly thanks to the teaching of german in schools all across the Union, and the economic importance of the German countries. Germans usually learn Danish or Swedish at an early age in schools, although many people in the hinterland of Holstein and Pomerania cannot speak other languages, as it doesn't reduce their opportunities if they lives close to other german countries such as Hamburg, Hannover or Prussia.

Holstein is home to many industries as well as the Kiel Canal. World leading companies such as the shipbuilder Schweffel & Howaldt or the aircraft manufacturer Voss-werke trace their origins and keep their heaquarter in the region, which is at the intersection of the North-Western Germanic connurbation and the Scandinavian Strait Industrial Region, home to over 10 million people and one of the leading urban area in the world for its innovation and dynamism.

Pomerania has some of the most popular sea resort of the Union and the Baltic coast and welcomes over a million Scandinavian, Prussian, German and Polish tourists each summer. The carribean territories of St-Thomas and St-John have nearly 15% of german population thanks to their attractiveness for tourism.
