Why did germanic tribes convert to christianity? were they interested in the religion simply because it stood out from other religions

Germanic tribes and christianity

Explanation:

The process of Christianization in the Germanic tribes was gradual, it began in the second part of the second century and lasted until the ninth. The Romans exercised a strong influence over the pagans and starting from the 6th century missionaries of the Catholic church started the reconversion process among the Germanic tribes. Catholicism was seen as prestigious and it certainly stood out from other religions.
