Cultural heritage is a huge part of your identity. For a german individual who has had german ancestry going back 500 years that is a big part of their identity. Americans/Canadians have a hard time understanding this, because their identity is new and largely married to multi culturalism. 

Germany wasn't even unified in 1871, not 500 years ago.

Doesn't matter when it became an official unified nation. They obviously have strong ties to Austria, Hungary etc due to some shared history, but there is still a much longer history of Germany identity that spans far further back than 1871. I would know, I'm half Austrian.
