Blumenau

Few cities in Santa Catarina have a history as closely tied to German immigration as Blumenau. Founded in 1850 by pharmacist Hermann Blumenau and German settlers, it developed on the banks of the Itajaí-Açu River in southern Brazil. The German-inspired Vila Germânica complex is a focal point for the city’s annual Oktoberfest, launched in 1984 and among Brazil’s largest celebrations of German traditions. Set in the Itajaí Valley, Blumenau is also associated with textile manufacturing and brewing, industries that continue to shape its identity.
