Hermann had an established tradition of viticulture established by immigrants from the Rhineland region of Germany. However during the Prohibition period, these vineyards were shut down and was not revived until the 1960s.

The city of Hermann was established in the 1830s by the German Settlement Society of Philadelphia (Deutsche Ansiedlungs-Gesellschaft zu Pennsylvania) with idealistic utopian goals that supported the traditional German culture. It was named in honor of Hermann der Cherusker, a Germanic leader who defeated the Romans in AD 9. (This provided the city an excuse to celebrate the 2000th anniversary of Hermann's victory in 2009).

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
