East Germanic tribes


The Germanic tribes referred to as East Germanic constitute a wave of migrants who may have moved from Scandinavia into the area between the Oder and Vistula rivers between 600 - 300 BC. Later they went to the south. The East Germ. tribes, related to the North Germanic tribes, had migrated from Scandinavia into the region E. of the Elbe (Vandals, Burgundians, Goths, Rugians and others).[1]
