German Village is one of Columbus’s most iconic historic neighborhoods, sitting just south of downtown and feeling like a little European pocket tucked into the city. Settled by German immigrants in the 1800s, it’s now a nationally recognized historic district known for its beautifully preserved red brick homes, narrow brick streets, and lush, carefully tended gardens.
At the heart of the neighborhood is Schiller Park, a beloved green space that anchors daily life here, morning dog walks, picnics under mature trees, and community traditions like outdoor theater in the summer. Around the park and along the village streets, you’ll find cozy cafés, bakeries, and locally owned restaurants that keep the area buzzing without ever losing that “stroll-and-linger” vibe.
What makes German Village special is the way it blends old world character with modern city living. The homes have real personality, the sidewalks invite wandering, and the neighborhood pride runs deep, festivals, seasonal events, and a strong preservation culture make it feel both timeless and alive. It’s charming, walkable, and truly one of a kind in Central Ohio.
