Ehrengarde
And don't forget as the Benedictine Monk Bede wrote (freely circumscribed):
"The English Folk are the descendants of the following Germanic Tribes an kin: The Angles (area of modern Schleswig-Holstein) who migrated their whole nation to Britain, hence its archaic name Ængla land; the Saxons, originating from Lower Saxony (in modern German: Niedersachsen) and the Low Countries (Netherlands); and finally the Jutes, possibly from the Jutland peninsula (in modern Danish: Jylland)."
There is a lot archaic german old english and even some still in modern (britisch) englisch.
Everywhere migrants are bringing their language with them. Some other more recent german examples (in this case mostly american english) are:
rucksack, kindergarten, angst, zeitgeit, blitz, alpenglow, gemütlichkeit, gestalt, gesundheit, realpolitik, etc.
