Approximately 35% of Germans have blue eyes, and this eye color becomes more common as one moves northwards and the opposite happens as one moves southwards. Nevertheless, another 30% have green or gray eyes. So altogether 65% of German have light eyes!
Scientists believe that it is possible to trace all blue-eyed people back to a common ancestor, who likely had a genetic mutation that reduced the amount of melanin in the iris. Most people with blue eyes are of European descent.

Germany is almost exclusively blonde with the coastline along the Baltics somewhat darker-haired. Iceland is a very blonde nation, and so is Norway. There is a blonde section of northern Italy that is closer to Germany and the Slavic states.
Overall, we noticed that blond hair dominated in Germany and the Netherlands, while the red hair trait reached its most frequent occurrence in Iceland and Great Britain (Fig. 2).
Almost half of the German population has blue eyes, and many also have blonde hair and pale skin. Many German people also tend to have square jaws: a.k.a., jaws that are about as wide as the rest of the skull. German people also tend to have quite high, prominent cheekbones – and overall, quite angular features.
Your children inherit their eye colors from you and your partner. It's a combination of mom and dad's eye colors – generally, the color is determined by this mix and whether the genes are dominant or recessive. Every child carries two copies of every gene – one comes from mom, and the other comes from dad.
We found that green is the most popular lens colour, with brown coming in a close second, despite it being one of the most common eye colours. Although blue and hazel are seen as the most attractive eye colours for men and women they are surprisingly the least popular.
"In Australians of European ancestry, the percentage of eye colours are 45 percent blue-grey, 30 percent green-hazel and 25 percent brown. If you're considering non-European ancestry it is the almost completely brown eye colour."
Blue eyes are predominant in northern and eastern Europe, particularly around the Baltic Sea. Blue eyes are also found in southern Europe, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa and West Asia.
Blue eyes are a fascinating and unique trait that can be found in many different parts of the world. Approximately 8% of the global population has blue eyes, with higher concentrations in certain countries such as Lithuania (95%), Finland and Estonia (89%) or the United States (16.6%).
Germany's central and southern regions have forested hills and mountains cut through by the Danube, Main, and Rhine river valleys. In the north, the landscape flattens out to a wide plain that stretches to the North Sea. Between these extremes, Germany is a country of incredible variety.
German people tend to be thrifty, be sensible, and respect one another's privacy, and they typically respect the structure and laws of society to an above-average degree. There is no place that this sense of 'order' is more apparent than in German business culture.
The German ethnic group is distinct to the nation of Germany, but is part of a larger ethno-linguistic Germanic family. The German people can trace their ethnic heritage and language to early Germanic tribes along the Danube River and North German Plains, which were infused with Slavic, Roman, and Celtic influences.
Search for details on death certificates, church records, military documents, and wills. Look at immigration and travel records created by other immigrating family members, which may include the details you're seeking.
