Yes, many Germans arrived through Ellis Island. Many of the people we would identify as German would have given specific German states as their home country (e.g. Prussia, Bavaria, etc.) More Germans likely arrived through Castle Clinton in New York, as Ellis Island was not yet in use when huge numbers of Germans arrived in the 1860 - 1890 period.

∙ 12y agoYes they did because they had to be checked for mental illnesses or just illnesses. They had to go through a series of tests and brief questioning. The tests were being able to walk up and down the stairs. The officials checked the immigrant's scalps, hands, face, neck, gait, and their general condition.
