Content: German-Americans also introduced physical education and pushed for the construction of gymnasiums. Perhaps most important of all, German immigrants were on the front lines fighting for universal education, something that hadn't been suggested before in the United States. 4 Foods
Many common American foods were brought to the United States by German immigrants. The hamburger and the frankfurter, more commonly known as the hotdog, are named after the Hamburg America Line, a German shipping company, and Frankfurt, a large city in Germany, respectively. The origin of barbecue, a popular cooking technique, is linked to German-Americans in Texas. While the names of these dishes and cooking techniques have been Americanized, many other German cuisines, such as sauerbraten, a type of pork roast, and sauerkraut, have retained their German identities and are popular dishes in American dining.
