Most Germans left their country via the city of Bremerhaven. Today Bremerhaven has a museum of emigration (see link below for information in English).
I think the sea route took them to New York where they arrived on Ellis Island.

Good speed for your project :)

Heavy German immigration to the United States occurred between 1848 and World War I, during which time nearly six million Germans immigrated to the U.S. The great cities of Chicago, Detroit, and New York were favored destinations. By 1900, the cities of Cleveland, Milwaukee, Hoboken and Cincinnati were all over 40% German. Dubuque and Davenport Iowa had even larger proportions. The Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in Cincinnati was one of the largest German-American cultural centers. In many other cities, such as Fort Wayne, Indiana, Richmond, Virginia, German Americans were at least 30% of the population. About half went to cities, the other half went to farms in the Midwest; by the 20th century they were the predominant rural element in much of the Midwest.
