- To mark the launch of the new DW Books channel on RUclips, Meet the Germans presenter Rachel Stewart decided to have a rummage around some German bookshelves. What sort of books do Germans love to read? How come books are so expensive here? And why are the titles often upside-down?
Rachel moved from the UK to Germany in 2016. As a relative newcomer she casts a fresh eye over German clichés and shares her experiences of settling into German life. Every two weeks she explores a new topic - from beer to nudity to complicated grammar.

“Das war Schiller.“ „der andere.“ „dann Goethe“ AHAHHAA
but cinderrella only got that name from disney. originally she´s called "aschenputtel".
Rachel is hilarious. And a great presenter of dry facts. Love this series.
As a german i must say i love libraries and bookshops more than anything else, though im sure many people from all around the world feel the same and im not sure how unique or strong this feeling is in germany
Actually, the Grimm-Brothers made german folklore less gory and more suitable for children.
Can we please talk About the weird Habit of english books to write author and title on EVERY SINGLE PAGE in the book.
It's so sad that no one thinks of Walter Moers when talking about German authors... his works are absolutely brilliant and ingenious
Ich arbeite in einer Bücherei und kann bestätigen das Krimis mit Abstand am meisten geliehen werden. Dicht darauf gefolgt kommen die Kinderbücher, was mich persönlich sehr freut. Grundsätzlich kann ich natürlich nur für meinen Standort sprechen aber es lies sich in den letzten Jahren eher ein Anstieg der Leihen in der "Schöne Literatur"( Romane,Thriller etc..) verzeichnen nur geht die Nachfrage nach Sachliteratur stark zurück. Informationen besorgt man sich eben im Internet^^ Das wird in allen möglichen Statistiken immer gern vergessen.
They didn't put a gory twist to our fairytales! If anything they censored the much more gruesome tales from oral tradition.
Literally got goosebumps when she started reading in inkheart. I have read it 1000 times in german!
Can't imagine how someone don't read.
Because I don't think a thumbs-up would be enough: Rachel is wonderful. Her presence at the camera has somehow an impact at me I can't rather explain.
Inkheart is mentioned
Please if you want to cover German books, cover "der Struwwel Peter" it's a (brutal) children book with tales.
I’ve been binge watching this series! Its so fun and informative 😂
Another brilliantly informative and original piece charmingly presented by Rachel Stewart!
Toll gemacht! Unterhaltsam, interessant und professionell! Danke!
Once i searched a english version of a book i just red for a friend of mine.
the brother grimm did m´very mch NOT put a "dark-twist" on anything and that stuff wasn't really eruopean-folklore. If anything the brother grim watered down a lot of their stories to make them more suitable to children since their original version of the books meant for adults didn't really sell well. And the stories they wrote re in fact from all over europe and for a lot of them different versions of them exist in different places, but they were just stories that people tod each other by mouth, nothing wildly known. The versions of the stories and fairytales that are wildly known today are the ones the brother grim wrote down. A lot of them stemming from regional places being made "popular" or known just by them.
