This is a list of notable German Americans. German Americans (Deutschamerikaner) are citizens of the United States of German ancestry and form the largest ancestry group in the United States, accounting for 17% of US population.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=United States Census Bureau ); In 2009, 50.7 million claimed German ancestry. The 2000 census gives 15.2% or 42.8 million. The 1990 census had 23.3% or 57.9 million.〕 The first significant numbers arrived in the 1680s in New York and Pennsylvania. Some eight million German immigrants have entered the United States since that point. Immigration continued in substantial numbers during the 19th century; the largest number of arrivals came 1840–1900, when Germans formed the largest group of immigrants coming to the US, outnumbering even the Irish and English. Some arrived seeking religious or political freedom, others for economic opportunities greater than those in Europe, and others simply for the chance to start afresh in the New World. California and Pennsylvania have the largest populations of German origin, with over six million German Americans residing in the two states alone.〔(German-American Heritage Foundation )〕 Over 50 million people in the United States identify German as their ancestry.〔() "US Census Bureau, German ancestry – German: 50,764,352"〕 Americans of German descent live in nearly every American county, from the East Coast, where the first German settlers arrived in the 17th century, to the West Coast and in all the states in between. German Americans and those Germans who settled in the US have been influential in almost every field, from science, to architecture, to entertainment to commercial industry. To be included in this list, the person must have a Wikipedia article showing they are German American or must have references showing they are German American and are notable. ==Art and literature== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of German Americans」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
