Today, I would like to introduce “German Village in Namhae” (Namhae refers to the Southern Sea in Korean) for a summer vacation spot.
It is located in Namhae-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do.
It was built for nurses and miners who went to Germany to earn foreign currency when South Korea was in poor economic condition.
They intended to come back to Korea individually, but they worried about cultural difference.
In this regard, Namhae-gun made a village for Korean Germans to allow them to live together; this is Namhae German Village.
Due to this reason, it has plenty of unusual attractions.
You can experience German culture through exhibition concerning miners and nurses dispatched to Germany in 1960s-1970s, German children’s songs, and German popular songs that they sang in Germany.
If you choose Namhae Germany Village as a summer vacation spot, you would catch two birds with one stone by experiencing German culture and eating food that you can have a taste only in the coastal areas along the Southern Sea.
