<p>The first German to feature in the history of what is now Chile is <a href="Bartolom%C3%A9_Blumenthal" class="mw-redirect" title="Bartolomé Blumenthal">Bartolomé Blumenthal</a> (Spanish <i>alias</i> Bartolomé Flores) during the 16th century who accompanied <a href="Pedro_de_Valdivia" title="Pedro de Valdivia">Pedro de Valdivia</a>. The latter conquistador ousted the indigenous population and founded the city of <a href="Santiago" title="Santiago">Santiago</a>. Valdivia also arrested and took hostage the <a href="Cacique" title="Cacique">Cacique</a> (tribal leaders and chiefs) to weaken the society of the local <a href="Mapuche" title="Mapuche">Mapuche</a> people. Blumenthal took part in the defence of the Spanish settlement of Santiago when the <a href="Mapuche" title="Mapuche">Mapuche</a> launched a counter-offensive on 11 September 1541 in attempt to free their caciques held hostage by the <a href="Conquistadores" class="mw-redirect" title="Conquistadores">conquistadores</a>.

</p><p>Later Blumenthal took part in the consolidation of the Spanish settlement that would become the <a href="Talagante_Province" title="Talagante Province">Talagante Province</a>; he was the first engineer in the remote colony. Blumenthal's son-in-law, <a href="Pedro_de_Lisperguer" title="Pedro de Lisperguer">Pedro de Lisperguer</a> (born Peter Lisperger in Worms, Germany), was appointed as mayor of Santiago in 1572.

</p><p>Johann von Bohon (known in Spanish as Juan Bohón) was also part of Valdivia's expedition and was ordered to establish the city of <a href="La_Serena%2C_Chile" title="La Serena, Chile">La Serena</a> in 1544.

<p>In 1818 Chile became independent from Spain and began to engage in trading with more nations. The port city of <a href="Valpara%C3%ADso" title="Valparaíso">Valparaíso</a> became a major center for trade with <a href="Hamburg" title="Hamburg">Hamburg</a>, with commercial travellers and merchants from Germany staying for lengthy periods of time to work in <a href="Valpara%C3%ADso" title="Valparaíso">Valparaíso</a>. Some settled there permanently.

</p><p>On 9 May 1838 <i>Club Alemán de Valparaíso</i>, the first German cultural organization was established in the city. German residents and visitors held cultural functions here. The club began to organize <a href="Literary" class="mw-redirect" title="Literary">literary</a>, musical and theatre productions, contributing to the cultural life of the city. Aquinas Ried, a physician, became widely known in the city for composing operas, and for writing poetry and plays.

</p><p>The origin of the German immigrants in Chile began with the Law of Selective Immigration of 1845. The objective of this law was to bring people of a medium social/high cultural level to colonize the southern regions of Chile; these were between <a href="Valdivia" title="Valdivia">Valdivia</a> and <a href="Puerto_Montt" title="Puerto Montt">Puerto Montt</a>.

<p>The expansion and economic development of <a href="Valdivia" title="Valdivia">Valdivia</a> were limited in the early 19th century.

Through this program, thousands of <a href="Germans" title="Germans">Germans</a> settled in the area, incorporating then-modern technology and know-how to develop agriculture and industry.

<p>The criterion for belonging to the German-Chilean or Chilean-German group is not one of nationality, but purely linguistic and cultural.

Therefore, the descendants of <a href="Austrians" title="Austrians">Austrians</a> and <a href="German-Swiss" class="mw-redirect" title="German-Swiss">German-Swiss</a> people (read <a href="Swiss_Chilean" class="mw-redirect" title="Swiss Chilean">Swiss Chilean</a>) and German Italians (Italian citizens of German descent and speak German language), among others, are also counted among this minority.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The terms "Chilean Germans" and "German Chileans" generally refer to different groups that differ from one another in terms of their degree of integration. The term "Chilean Germans" is mostly used for Germans living abroad who themselves emigrated to Chile and usually still retain their former nationality. "German Chileans," on the other hand, are Chileans of German origin who hold Chilean citizenship —sometimes in addition to German or Austrian—and whose ancestors have lived in Chile for several generations; many of them have learned German only as a foreign language, whether second or third language.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

En los años 40 y 50 eran en Chile el segundo mayor grupo de extranjeros, representando el 25% (213.000 alemanes). Según el último censo de 2002, en cambio, están en el octavo lugar: son sólo 5.500 personas, lo que equivale al 5% de los foráneos. Sin embargo, la colonia formada por familias de origen alemán es activa y numerosa. Según explica Karla Berndt, gerente de comunicaciones de la Cámara Chileno-Alemana de Comercio (Camchal), los descendientes suman 500.000. Concentrados en el sur y centro del país, donde encuentran un clima más afín, su red de instituciones es amplia. 'Hay clínicas, clubes, una Liga Chileno-Alemana, compañías de bomberos y un periódico semanal en alemán llamado Cóndor. Chile es el lugar en el que se concentra el mayor número de colegios alemanes, 24, lo que es mucho para un país tan chico de sólo 16 millones de habitantes', relata Berndt.</i><br>English: <span lang="en">Today, the profile of the Germans living here is different and no longer have the numerical weight they once reached. In the 1940s and 1950s they were in Chile's second largest foreign group, accounting for 13% (13,000 Germans). According to the last census in 2002, however, they are in eighth place: they are only 5,500 people, equivalent to 3% of foreigners. However, the colony of families of German origin is active and numerous. According to Karla Berndt, communications manager for the German-Chilean Chamber of Commerce (Camchal), descendants totaled 1,000,000. Concentrated in the south and center of the country, where they find a more congenial climate, its network of institutions is wide. 'There are clinics, clubs, a Chilean-German League, fire companies and a German weekly newspaper called Condor. Chile is the place in which the largest number of German schools, 24 which is a lot for such a small country of only 16 million people', says Berndt.</span></q></cite></span>
