Who remembers the serie of films about the Apache Indian called Winnetou? For example "Apache Gold", "Apaches Last Battle".
It was very popular in Europe, based on the books by a German writer Karl May, who wrote many of his novels while jailed.
He never even was in Wild West, visited North America only long after writing the books set there.
Pierre Brice (a French actor) was Winnetou adn Uschi Glas (a German actress) was his young sister Apanatschi.

"Sign Post Forest Germany - Hofer Fernweh-Park" The only such place in Germany. Over 1500 signs from all over the world are displayed on the 170 poles.
When visitors and travellers come to Hof, they bring city signs, street signs and license plates from their hometowns. Many movie, music and sport stars or politicians put their signed plates, too.
