Having the style, characteristics, or qualities of Germanic peoples or culture; characteristic of German style or fashion.
From Germanic or German plus -esque suffix (in the manner of, resembling). Created following the pattern of words like 'arabesque' and 'grotesque' to describe a stylistic manner.
While uncommon today, 'germanesque' appears in 19th-century architectural and design writing to describe Germanic-influenced styles — today we'd say 'Germanic' or 'Gothic Revival,' but victorian critics loved the -esque ending.
