Eye and hair colour distribution among 1272 Germans + general comment
Continuing my surveys, I present you my results for Germany. Here you get regional division (north/centre/south) and, of course, the German total. Northern Germany consists of Bremen, Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt and North Rhine-Westphalia. Hesse, Thuringia and Saxony make the centre of the country, while Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saarland are the southern parts. I read about each region’s population here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._by_population
This led to the sample for each sex consisting of 304 Northern Germans, 100 inhabitants of the central areas and 232 from the south. A total of 1272 people were included. People with Sub-Saharan African descent were not counted (as well as such born in Germany but of completely foreign descent). On the other hand, a small minority have ancestry from other areas such as Poland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, etc.
Clarifying my criterion once again for those who may not have read my previous threads and for the newly registered:
I've always had a pretty clear criterion of blondism (even when I didn't know anything about anthropology) which actually matches the Fischer-Saller scale. What I consider blond includes the nuances listed on it. Yellowish colour of one or another form is my idea of blondism (even wikipedia agrees with me):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond
If a person has light hair lacking these tones I call that light brown, not blond.
Orange and similar reddish blond shades affect both blondism and rufosity rate.
Here is the scale I used. Colours A to O are what I count as blond.
The numbers V and VI reflect reddish blond hair and affect both blondism and rufosity values. Deeper orange shades I also include as reddish blond.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fische...93Saller_scale
Other hair colours in my view:
- light brown
- medium brown (including medium ash brown nuances)
- dark brown (again including some dark ash brown forms)
- black
- reddish brown
- pure red
To estimate the eye colours distribution I use the Martin-Schultz scale. Green eyes with brown spots when green dominates I count as light. Evenly mixed green-brown shades and such where brown dominates I consider hazel and don't count as light.
The Martin-Schultz scale includes:
1-2 : blue iris (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a : light blue iris - 2b : darker blue iris)
3 : blue-gray iris
4 : gray iris (4a, 4b)
5 : blue-gray iris with yellow/brown spots
6 : gray-green iris with yellow/brown spots
7 : green iris
8 : green iris with yellow/brown spots
9-10-11 : light-brown and hazel iris
12-13 : medium brown iris
14-15-16 : dark-brown and black iris
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin...3Schultz_scale
Colours 1-8 I consider light. 9 is where non-light eyes begin for me.
The Martin-Schultz scale:
Female sample consists of models, actresses, volleyballers and tennis players, while made one is made up by singers, footballers, tennis players, a small amount of other sportsmen and 10 businessmen.

Out of nations I have dedicated a study to so far (and this is my general impression also) Germans stand, and on many levels actually, between Dutch and Hungarians. The light eyes total of 70,76% Germans in my survey displayed is higher than the 64,98% of Hungarians but lower than the Dutch total of 84,57%. With a blondism result of 25,08% Germany stands above the 21,67% of Hungary but below the 27,66% of The Netherlands. Regarding the claims of once famous forum troll Bloody whom I see post the same few English musicians on various sites on the net even nowadays, German people may be blonder than the English but still the latter display a higher light eyes occurrence and lower tanning ability – something which is almost universally accepted. English blondism level I noted in my survey of the state was 21,97%, with 80,99% of people having light-coloured eyes. Germany has visibly more people with skin types II and III than England does (I have noticed that German tourists in my city tan better than English and Welsh ones, too).
When it comes to German phenotype the claim of Hans Günther rating Germans as more phenotypically Dalofaelid than Swedes (including those from Dalarna) is something I have always disagreed with and my surveys totally confirmed this opinion of mine. In pure form it must be 2,5-3 times more common among Swedes (the Dutch being also about twice more prone to belonging to the Dalsrasse than Germans are) and in mixed form it is also more common among them. The Cro-Magnon qualities of Germans, while not to be ignored, are overrated by everyone who thinks they are on par in this regard with Western and Central Scandinavian natives who are among the most balanced Aurignacid/Cromagnid blends in Europe. Another myth I see is Germans being overwhelmingly Alpine. While not rare as both predominant type and secondary influence in a phenotypical mix, there are more German people of predominantly Nordid type than of Alpine one and even though I’m not a math professor, I’m prone to bet on it. The Nordids of Germany more often display Corded qualities in my view but Hallstatt is not unusual either. Of course, when compared to Swedes, Norwegians or Dutch people, Germans are less often predominantly Nordic in phenotype but it’s still one of the major types in the state. Nordic Aurignacids seem more common than Upper Paleolithic survivors in pretty much every part of Northern Germany but in the northeast this is particularly evident. I still give North Rhine-Westphalia the credit of being Northern Germany’s most Cro-Magnon region. Another common blend in the state is that of Nordic and Dinaric factors which in most cases result in Norid phenomenon but Keltoid and other indefinite Nordo-Dinaric forms are also present. The provinces of Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria show a relatively good frequency of Norid + Faelid phenotypical combination. As a whole the southern provinces are more Cro-Magnon and less purely Nordid. Among women you can see blondism increase the more northwards one goes, while rufosity shows exactly the opposite phenomenon. Men from Northern Germany are also blonder. In terms of light eyes frequency there isn’t a dramatic difference at all. Hair texture is mainly straight followed by wavy. Naturally curly hair seems more common among men than among women. 2 men with no foreign (I checked) background display Armenoid qualities, one is a Turanid (and no, it’s not the partly Turkish guy who looks like a Dinaro-CM mix) and 2 more represent a Nordid-Uralid combo – these were the most exotic males in my survey. Among ladies I saw some very rare East Med types (again with no foreign ancestry).
Below you see my relative estimations of predominant (this doesn’t mean pure; I’m not gonna anthrotard you like McCulloch did) types and the approximate frequency at which they were displayed by representatives of each gender. In several cases I have merged the percentages of various blends, as this ain’t strict math.
Men:
- Predominantly Nordid (sometimes with a minor CM factor involved) – about 15%
- Balanced Nordocromagnids of both Trønder (with more Corded and Phalian/Brunn traits) or the so-called Anglo-Saxon variety (with a higher stress on Hallstatt and Borreby features) – about 15%
- Predominantly Alpine – about 10%
- Alpinised types (the other element being usually Dinaric, Nordic or Cro-Magnon, especially Borreby) – about 10%
- Nordo-Dinaric forms (mostly Norid but not only, as I already specified; here there is often a Dalofaelid influence) – about 10%
- Mainly Dalofaelid – about 10%
- Mainly Borreby – about 5%
- Mainly Brunn – about 3%
- Predominantly Paleo Atlantid – about 7% (seems somewhat more common than Borreby)
- Predominant Dinarids/Taurids (often with Mediterranean admixture) – about 5%
- Predominance of atypically Eastern (both in the sense of more common in Eastern Europe or West Asia) types such as Baltid, Balto-Nordid, Nordid/Uralid mix, Balto-CM, East Cromagnid, Armenoid and Turanid – about 2%
- Predominantly Mediterranean (mainly Atlantic but Pontic, East and Gracile forms are also present) and Nordo-Mediterranean (Atlantid, North Pontid, etc.) forms – about 8%
Women:
- Predominantly Nordid (sometimes with a minor CM factor involved) – about 15%
- Balanced Nordocromagnids of both Trønder (with more Corded and Phalian/Brunn traits) or the so-called Anglo-Saxon variety (with a higher stress on Hallstatt and Borreby features) – about 15%
- Predominantly Alpine – about 7% (slightly less common here in my view)
- Alpinised types (the other element being usually Dinaric, Nordic or Cro-Magnon, especially Borreby) – about 8% (again a slightly lower frequency, from what I saw)
- Nordo-Dinaric forms (mostly Norid but not only, as I already specified; here there is often a Dalofaelid influence) – about 12% (a little more common)
- Mainly Dalofaelid – about 13% (again a little more frequent as predominant type)
- Mainly Borreby – about 5%
- Mainly Brunn – about 3%
- Predominantly Paleo Atlantid – about 7%
- Predominant Dinarids/Taurids (often with Mediterranean admixture) – about 3% (less frequent than among males)
- Predominance of atypically Eastern (mainly balticized) types – about 2%
- Predominantly Mediterranean (mainly Atlantic but Pontic, East and Gracile forms are also present) and Nordo-Mediterranean (Atlantid, North Pontid, etc.) forms – about 10% (somewhat more common than among their male counterparts)

- Southern Germans:
1. Austrians – 1,04
2. Northern Germans/Hungarians – 1,08 (a tie)
3. French – 1,12
4. Czechs – 1,16
5. Swiss – 1,17
6. Bulgarians – 1,19
7. Latvians – 1,20
