Up until the tenth century, the Germans were a loose knit group of tribes. Over time they began to form nations. Eventually the people who lived in these nations began to call themselves Germans. The real unification of the Germans took place when Luther published the German Bible in 1534 but this was a unity through language rather than culture. The country of Germany was established in its present form when Otto Von Bismarck led the move to unification in 1871.
Short answer: They were tribes of people who shared the same culture.
