First of all it was not the Germans. Germany and the Germans did not exist back then. It was the Germanic peoples. Germanic is a linguistic group which includes German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and English. These Germanic peoples were the ancestors of the peoples who speak these modern languages.
The Franks who lived around the mouth of the river Rhine were allowed to settle in Holland south of the river Rhine and in Belgium because they were allies of the Romans and supplied troops and cavalry to the Romans.
The Visigoths asked the Romans to be allowed to settle in the lower Danube area of the Roman Empire because they wanted to escape the Huns who were conquering Eastern Europe. Emperor Valens granted this in 376.
The Ostrogoths settled in Pannonia (eastern Austria and western Hungary) while the Romans lost control of this area to the Huns. After the collapse of the Hun Empire the Romans and the Ostrogoths became allies.
Other smaller Germanic peoples were allowed to settle in smaller areas of the Roman Empire because they needed land and because they could become suppliers of soldiers for the Romans.

What are some external reasons for the fall of rome?
The first problem was the general decline in literacy and stability that began with the Crisis of the Third Century, in about 235 AD, a period of continual civil wars lasting a couple generations. The second problem was that Roman citizens were more an more inclined to allow themselves to be defended by foreigners. The loyalty of the foreign troupes was badly eroded by the fact that they were badly treated. Eventually, even the highest generals were not Roman. Another problem was that the Germanic peoples on the border of the Roman Empire started to migrate into the empire because they were being attacked from farther out. They formed armies which raided until they finally settled down to form kingdoms of their own. The Roman Empire was formally divided in 286, and this division became permanent in 395. The division left each part rather uninterested in the well being of the other. And the East Roman Empire could not help the West, even if it had the will to do so, because of ongoing wars with the Persians. The 5th century saw a series of weak emperors of the West Roman Empire, most of whom were merely puppets of their Germanic generals. There are people who blame Christianity for making people weak. I think the West Roman Empire had reasons enough without that. The East Roman Empire lasted another thousand years, until 1453, when it was destroyed, after many changes in fortune, by the Ottoman Turks, but that is not referred to as the fall of the Roman Empire. There is a link below to an article on the Decline of the Roman Empire.
