An excessive enthusiasm for or obsession with German culture, language, or things German.
From Germanic/German + mania (from Greek mania, meaning 'madness' or 'excessive enthusiasm'). This term describes irrational devotion to German culture.
Like 'Anglomania' (obsession with English things), 'germanomania' shows how languages export cultural fads—in the 18th century, everything German became fashionable in Russia and France!
