Only when I was six years old, for a few months.
I also have a brother who currently works in Germany, in Langenhain, close to Frankfurt a.M.
But in general, our ties to Germany are rather "loose" nowadays - my close family is dispersed mainly in South America (Bolivia and Brazil) (and one sister in Haifa / Israel).
