Muslims first came to Germany as part of the diplomatic, military and economic relations between Germany and the Ottoman Empire in the 18th century.[7] Twenty Muslim soldiers served under Frederick William I of Prussia, at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1745, Frederick II of Prussia established a unit of Muslims in the Prussian army called the "Muslim Riders" and consisting mainly of Bosniaks, Albanians and Tatars. In 1760 a Bosniak corps was established with about 1,000 men.

"Muslim riders" never existed. Bosniak cavalry regiments did. What hapened with them is shortage of Bosniaks, and replacement of them with Poles and Germans.

Did they settle in Germany?

Probably not due to difference in religion. They wouldnt be able to marry, and wouldnt want to convert, thus they went to earn their money and get home
