The presence of German speaking populations in Central and Eastern Europe is rooted in centuries of history, that of the independent German states (particularly Prussia), and later German Empire but also Austria-Hungary, Poland, and other multi-ethnic countries. In the German language, the German populations in that part of Europe are commonly referred to as Volksdeutsche. The number of ethnic Germans in Central and Eastern Europe dropped dramatically as the result of the German exodus from Eastern Europe. However, there are still a substantial number of ethnic Germans in the countries that are now Germany and Austria's neighbors to the east Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Slovenia. In addition, there are or have been significant populations in such areas as Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia. It is not known specifically when Ashkenazi Jews became participants within this phenomenon, but it stands to reason that similar societies spawned eastwards, would induce them alongside their Pagan or Christian compatriots for economic reasons, if not also others.
