The German Empire was the largest faction ever existed on pxls.space (around 4.600 Members are still on the Discord-server, even though it stopped basicaly every work). The whole faction started after an user presented pxls.space to the german imageboard pr0gramm.com as one of the successor of /r/place. Since the french faction seemed to be the biggest faction at that moment and since the users of pr0gramm called themself "frankophobic" some people decided to help the Kekistan-flag as the first step. After France destroyed Kekistan the germans decided for a community-project in the style of the german Empire (1871-1918/19).

the french attack on the Kekistan flag was the trigger for the beginning of the german empire on pxls

German-french war

The faction started with the black-white-red flag of the imperial Germany at the right side of the map. the flag grew fast until it reached the french faction. A war broke out where the germans started to change the blue in the french flag into imperial black. Together with Ukraine the last french resistance was destroyed and they started to creat smaller art-pieces on the flag. Later they allowed the their new allies to paint Ukrainian art on a small part of their flag.

Partition of poland

Together with Finland the polish flag in the bottom-left corner was divided between the two factions.

Canvas 2

Together with the Ukrains and Finland it was decided to form an official alliance: The New Pixel Axis. And before the next canvas even started they claimed the whole bottom-space of the canvas started imminently to work after c2 started.

The main territory of the new Pixel Axis

However, many artists did not know about these plans and tried to build their works in this area, which inevitably led to their destruction. Even within the Axis, this led to discussions about whether some of the works of art should be allowed to survive. 

In the end, these voices could not prevail and the template was completed according to plan, which culminated in the destruction of countless works of art.

Several alliances of different factions were formed to fight against the destruction. But these forces were ultimately too weak.

Bot Attacks

During the canvas the axis was often the target of bot attacks. Especially the "conquered" Eifel Tower was often tried to be pixelated with a portrait of Napoleon. However, bans and the defense of the axis prevented this
