Bartolomé Flores
Bartolomé Flores (1511 – November 11, 1585) is believed to have been the first German to arrive in Chile. He came with the expedition of Pedro de Valdivia at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of Chile. Biography Bartholomew, known in Chile as ''Bartolomé Flores'', was born 1506 or 1511 in the Franconian town of Nuremberg. His parents were John and Agatha. His Spanish family name ''Flores'' is a translation of his unknown original name in German. Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna (1877) named him hypothetically ''Blumen'', which is a translation of his Spanish name into German, but does not exist as a surname in German. In his ''Diccionario Biográfico Colonial de Chile'' (1906) José Toribio Medina named him ''Blumenthal'', a modern German-Jewish name, without mentioning his source. In Nuremberg at that time there were families named ''Blum'', ''Blümel'' or ''Blümlein''. Bartholomew came about 1528 to America and stayed first in La Española, Santo Domingo and Nicaragua, from whe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Germans
Germans (, ) are the natives or inhabitants of Germany, or sometimes more broadly any people who are of German descent or native speakers of the German language. The Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany, constitution of Germany, implemented in 1949 following the end of World War II, defines a German as a German nationality law, German citizen. During the 19th and much of the 20th century, discussions on German identity were dominated by concepts of a common language, culture, descent, and history.. "German identity developed through a long historical process that led, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, to the definition of the German nation as both a community of descent (Volksgemeinschaft) and shared culture and experience. Today, the German language is the primary though not exclusive criterion of German identity." Today, the German language is widely seen as the primary, though not exclusive, criterion of German identity. Estimates on the total number of Germ ...

Cacique
A cacique, sometimes spelled as cazique (; ; feminine form: ), was a tribal chieftain of the Taíno people, who were the Indigenous inhabitants of the Bahamas, the Greater Antilles, and the northern Lesser Antilles at the time of European contact with those places. The term is a Spanish transliteration of the Taíno word . Cacique was initially translated as "king" or "prince" for the Spanish. In the colonial era, the conquistadors and the administrators who followed them used the word generically to refer to any leader of practically any indigenous group they encountered in the Western Hemisphere. In Hispanic and Lusophone countries, the term has also come to mean a political boss, similar to a ''caudillo,'' exercising power in a system of caciquism. Spanish colonial-era caciques The Taíno word descends from the Taíno word , which means "to keep house". In 1555 the word first entered the English language, defined as "prince". In Taíno culture, the rank was heredita ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

German-Chilean
German Chileans (; ) are Chileans descended from German immigrants, about 30,000 of whom arrived in Chile between 1846 and 1914. Most of these were from traditionally Catholic Bavaria, Baden and the Rhineland, and also from Bohemia in the present-day Czech Republic. A smaller number of Lutherans immigrated to Chile following the failed revolutions of 1848. From the middle of the 19th century to the present, they have played a significant role in the economic, political and cultural development of the Chilean nation. The 19th-century immigrants settled chiefly in Chile's Araucanía, Los Ríos and Los Lagos regions in the so-called ''Zona Sur'' of Chile, including the Chilean lake district. History Germans in the Spanish Empire The first German to feature in the history of what is now Chile is Bartolomé Blumenthal (Spanish ''alias'' Bartolomé Flores) during the 16th century who accompanied Pedro de Valdivia.
