Celto-Germans

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Celto-Germans is a term that is not used in specialist science for a people or a “race” that is said to have been a mixture of Germans and Celts and was resident in southern Germany, but also in Alsace , Switzerland and Austria .

The new word creation , which, unlike, for example, the Celtoskyths, is not documented in ancient ethnography , was used especially in the 19th and first half of the 20th century by racists such as Houston Stewart Chamberlain . Today the term is only used by people on the extreme political right and by pseudoscientists who call themselves " chronology critics " .
