Around a century before he wrote "Germania" in 9 AD German armies led by our esteemed ancestor Arminius destroyed three Roman Legions in Saxony at Teutoberger Wald, a feat that would be equivalent to obliterating (not just defeating) three US field armies equipped with bleeding edge weaponry (infantry, armor, aviation) in less than a week today ...quite an accomplishment for 'savages', eh?

The Roman Army was the most advanced and capable military organization of it's day ...Germans handed Rome itz greatest defeat, at the height of its power and the battle was a turning point in world history ...it was the beginning of Northern European ascendancy on our little planet. Since that day, much of humanity's history has been written by us. 
The Germans didn't build with stone ...you're a fucking idiot.  |
Those second hand sources, where also taken from Romans who witnessed the Various Tribes of Britons, Germans, Celts, etc all over Europe, and they all wrote their encounters down, People found living Naked living in huts and swamps to people living in cities and in mountain fortresses all over Europe, where ever the Romans went.
Obviously if you think there is something wrong with History at saying Germans didn't build stone, take it up with a Archaeologist, until then it remains a historical fact, that they did not build with stone when the romans found them. They also didn't have a written language, most of Europe had no script at all, except the runestone, and that is also found to have roots from old Latin.
We can go back and forth with this, go look up the oldest known book in Germany.
The oldest forms of writing are found in Western Asia, like Syria , Bulgaria, and Italy.
