Thousands of Germans have flocked to North Carolina in recent years, aided by investments from Siemens and Daimler.
Across the Atlantic, residents in a little-known State are toasting Steins in German beer halls, enjoying bratwurst and schnitzel in Bavarian restaurants, and working for giants like Siemens and Schott Pharma. They have a surprising share of German immigrants to thank.
But Anders Victor, director of business development at the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina , points out the relationship goes back to the 1700s when German settlers migrated south from Philadelphia and “I moved here thinking I'm going back to paradise , and I stayed because this is paradise, and it's not just paradise, because everything is perfect. I have everything in front of me.”
Hilgenstock’s kids even attended Deutsche Schule Charlotte, the only German language school in the State. A record number of ultra-high-net-worth and high-net-worth individuals in the States are applying for second passports as a safety net against the prospect of civil turmoil due to the U.S. political landscape, with many looking across the Atlantic.the prospect of a Trump second term forced them to look for properties in Spain and Portugal.When Hilgenstock first moved to the U.S. in 2001, he was confident the outcome of an election had little impact on people’s everyday lives.
