Well before that, probably. Lots of German immigrants (including my great grandparents) left in the 1920s because of the horrific economic conditions post-WWI. That, and Chicago has almost always been the Midwest's premier draw for immigrants. Mine only ended up in Cincinnati because of their sponsors.
