Germanic
'germanisch' and 'keltisch' both describe ancient peoples, languages, and cultures in Europe. However, they do not belong to the same group. 'germanisch' refers to the Germanic peoples or to Germanic languages such as German, English, or Dutch. 'keltisch' refers to the Celts, their culture, and their languages. The words can be confused because both often appear in historical texts about Europe. The simple guide is: German is Germanic, not Celtic; 'keltisch' fits, for example, certain ancient cultures and languages in Western Europe.
