About German Village Ohio
German Village, located just south of downtown Columbus, began its transformation in the 1960s when a preservation effort began to restore the 2-mile-long wedge of brick alleys and 19th-century cottages. Today it is one of the country’s largest privately funded historic districts. Diverse businesses thrive among the historic homes, beautiful parks and gardens, and cars squeeze past each other on narrow brick streets. preservation effort begun in the 1960s to restore the 2-mile-long wedge of brick alleys and 19th-century cottages.
