Not that recently, it's been used italiced and capitalised for a century, only recently it's been properly absorbed by losing those decorations. In contrast, the French absorb foreign words almost instantly, see the verb "liker" (to like on Facebook) for example.

Interesting, when I was a boy, my mother (who was a German Teacher), always used it as an example of one of these great German words without a direct translation. Back then it didn’t seem to be used in popular culture, now I seem to hear it on a weekly basis!
I definitely saw it in the English music paper, the New Musical Express, in the late `70s (very Punk at the time), I remember having to look it up ...
