Let's say: there existed people in the region, which is now called 
'Germany'.

These people were not called 'Germans', because no country bearing this 
name existed at the time of Luther.

Luther was born in Eisleben and that city belonged to one of these tiny 
states.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eisleben

Whether nor not you call these people 'Germans' is up to you.

'Germanic' would have been better (which would include Danish, Dutch and 
British).

But ethnicity of these people is a difficult topic, because the modern 
'Germans' are actually a crude mixture of all kinds of people, which 
marched with their troops through the area of current Germany in ancient 
times.
