Nueva Germania, German settlement district in San Pedro Department, Paraguay
Nueva Germania extends across fertile lands at 132 meters elevation, surrounded by agricultural fields and connected through Route 11 to Asunción.
The district was established in 1887 by Bernhard Förster and Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche as a German settlement aimed at implementing their societal vision.
The district population speaks a combination of German and Guaraní languages, maintaining elements of both European and Paraguayan traditions through generations.
The tropical climate of Nueva Germania, with temperatures ranging from 10°C to 35°C, supports the cultivation of yerba mate, sugarcane, and cotton.
The district holds connections to Friedrich Nietzsche through his sister Elisabeth, who co-founded the settlement before returning to Europe in 1893.
