The land that would become Germania was originally the site of a ranch built in 1897. A train station would be built a decade later in 1905. Service was operated by the
General San Martín Railway and service ran to the town of
Chacabuco. The town was founded on August 15, 1905. Germania was primarily settled by immigrants from Europe. Rail service to the town ended in the 1970s. The town was surveyed in 1909, and the first school was built in 1911. ==Architecture==
