Complexo do Alemão
Complexo do Alemão (, ''German's Complex'') is a neighborhood and a group of favelas in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
==History==
An article published by ''O Globo'' in 2007 revealed the origin of Complexo do Alemão. After World War I, a Pole named Leonard Kaczmarkiewicz bought the land. It was not long before the place became known as Morro do Alemão (German's Hill) due to Kaczmarkiewicz's physical looks (a person of stereotypical European fair complexion is informally called ''alemão'', ''galego'' or ''russo'' in Brazilian Portuguese, while ''gringo'' only apply to non-Portuguese-speaking tourists; these terms can be offensive, jocose or intimate depending on context, but are generally unpolitely neutral).
The rural area began to change its appearance in the late 1920s, when the leather factory Curtume Carioca was founded. It attracted hundreds of workers to the region. When Avenida Brasil was inaugurated in 1946, the region started to progress and soon became the city's main industrial pole. Settlement building began in 1951, when Kaczmarkiewicz divided his land into plots and eventually sold them. The area evolved into the haphazard growth of favelas over several decades; which was parallel to what was occurring in other parts of Rio during the same time period.〔
