Curious about ethnicity
Freerk says:
Dinklage (pronounced "dink-lah-ge"), which means "cleared place of the thing" (the political and juridical assembly in old Germanic societies), is a small town in North-West Germany (Lower Saxony/Oldenburg). Peter Dinklage is a descendant of the old noble family von Dincklage that ruled over that small part of Germany from 1231 to 1827.
