Brazilians in Germany (Portuguese: Brasileiros na Alemanha) consist mainly of immigrants and expatriates from Brazil as well as their locally born descendants.
[2] The Martius-Staden Institute in Panamby, São Paulo is the first stop for Brazilians researching their German ancestors.
The institute's archive has an extensive index of family names of German origin.
In addition, many of Brazil's LGBT community chose to migrate to Germany due to the country's liberal attitude toward gays and many Brazilian artists consider working in Germany more prestigious than in Brazil.
Small shops have begun to carry Brazilian specialties like manioc flour and guaraná soda.
