I can definitely recommend it. Though if you come you have to make a bigger trip out of it. São Paulo is definitely the cheapest to fly to for a start and from there you can stipple out your further plans.
That's true.... I'm Brazilian, and my father in law was born in a small town, where everybody speaks German, and he didn't know anything in Portuguese until he was 8 years old, when he went to school for the first time..... My wife's grandma passed away without knowing how to speak Portuguese!
@@no_alias_for_meState of Santa Catarina Cities with descent Italy, Austria, Germany. More developed state with beautiful beaches and trendy coastal cities.. To go there, also take the opportunity to stop by Curitiba, a world model city in sustainability, technology and transport. And Foz do Iguaçu Falls is one of the wonders of the world. Then in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul.
What foreigners don't understand is that Brazil is a mix of several colonies and cultures. We speak Portuguese, but the largest colony of Italians outside of Italy is in Brazil, of Germans outside of Germany is in Brazil, of Japanese outside of Japan is in Brazil, of Turks, Koreans, Africans too. There is even a Ukrainian city with Ukrainian traditions in Brazil. We had the largest immigration of peoples in the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. That's why everyone looks like a Brazilian, we don't have a standard, we are all at the same time.
MEUS PAIS ERAM FILHOS DE ITALIANOS...AMO O BRASIL E AMO A ITALIA...SOMOS DO ESTADO DE SAO PAULO MAS HA MUITOS DESCENDENTES DE ITALIANOS NO SUL DO BRASIL...AQUI TEMOS PESSOAS DE QUASE TODOS PAISES DO MUNDO...""AQUI NÃO TEM APENAS CARNAVAL SAMBA FUTEBOL PRAIA......AQUI OS ESTADOS SAO MUITO DIFERENTES NA CULTURA NA MISTURA DAS RAÇAS""...
Biggest colony sure, but America has millions of people of German descent after several hundred years of immigration. And America has the largest amount of South Koreans outside of South Korea. Same with Swedish, Norwegians, and Danish ancestry. As well as several million people of Italian descent.
@@geneticallymodified7775Kkkk eu não sei como é o Alemão dele, porque não falo em alemão Mas, normalmente, os brasileiros que falam em alemão, falam estranho o português. Eles tem sotaque forte e não conseguem pronunciar algumas letras da forma que elas são pronunciadas. Tipo o "R" e o "ão". Eles crescem falando só alemão em suas casas.
@@Marilu94Ferro the good part of brazil is the part that doesn't involve government. Brazil just have problems because people vote for socialists and put them in the government for hundreds of years.
Me too, I really want to visit Norway some day and learn the language. Though I don’t have any video ideas there at the moment maybe Svalbard and doing some skiing. So I guess for the time being it’ll be learning Swedish to go to Åland 🇦🇽 and then we’ll go from there
I'm a Brazilian girl, living in Flåm, Norway, watching a video of a guy speaking German in my state in Brazil and replying to a Norwegian girl. What a funny world. HAHA
Here am i, siting on my PC in the state of Paraíba (northeast) of Brazil, watching a vídeo of a dutch guy, in a Austrian city, inside Brazil, where people speaks German. Gotta love the internet.
You're in João Pessoa? I'm also from Paraíba, currently living in Russia, working in the Netherlands. Funny how the internet unites us - never thought I'd meet anyone from my homeland on the internet lol
Brazilian guy from the north of Paraná currently living in the West Midlands of England in the United Kingdom watching a Dutch guy speak German with Brazilians descended from Austrian migrants that live in Santa Catarina. Small world.
That's awesome!! I'm a mixture of Japanese with Italian living in the northwest of the state of São Paulo seeing all this, my God that's crazy. I loved the video and especially this comment
@@btfcleitonnot really… my family is from the south and they dont speak it and normally people who know german are from these tiny traditional villages
Im Tyrolean and I'm getting cultural and linguistic whiplash from this video, feels like a fever dream or an alternate reality because it loks quite Tyrolean for the most part but then some details are just off. Thank you very much for sharing!
@@MarkHobbes ....and that ARAUCARIA pinus tree, that is native to Brazil. Produces the biggest pinus seed in the world, called PINHAO, that we love to eat in the June Festivals.
The wife of Pedro I, the portuguese prince who made Brazil independent and became the first emperor of Brazil, was austrian from the Habsburg family, daughter of the Austro-Hungarian emperor, she was also one of the main responsibles for the brazilian independence, encouraging Pedro to move in that direction and working to improve Brazil as an independent nation. That ´ s also the reason for the start of the germanic immigration to Brazil.
@@warribeit was Charity. not philantropy because this 💩fid not existed, this was created by the anglos but not for good reasons, it is not like charity
Then the socialists thought it would be a good idea to transform Brazil in a democracy. Now we have thousands of thieves and criminals with power to do whatever they want.
@@wotanmituns33 Yes. But when Brazil became a Republic the flag was changed a little. The Imperial Shield was removed and the green and yellow as maintained BUT it the meaning of the colors was changed. The Green became the forests instead of the Bragança house. And the yellow became the gold (mineral wealth) instead of the Habsburgs. Ok, the MEANING of the colors changed. But you are right, the REASON for the colors is the original one... thus, the Habsburg.
@@MauroVictorBarrosnot even close dude cuz in brazil people who migrated take their values and culture w them but in the usa 90% just settle for the american way of living & looking... in brazil tou can spot an individual's rootr a mile away, in the usa u can only guess.
@@cavaluhmafiosuh8655 I know both countries. I am a Brazilian living in the US. US is more diverse considering the variety of ethnic groups living here (in the US).
That is why we say "Come to Brazil", people imagina Brazil as Rio, favelas and the Amazon. Like the Pantanal is the world's largest freshwater wetland and one of the most biodiverse places in the planet, Lençois Maranheses the only flooded "desert" in the world, beautiful canions in Serra Catarinense, tons or german/italian/russian/english/african and more cities, more lebanese people than Libanon, the largest concetration of japanese people outside Japan, countless waterfall, great food and also super friendly and mixed people. We are not just samba and futebol.
@@pedrorodalves O Rio é lindo, minha intenção não é desvalorizar ele. Só que é apenas uma cidade em um país continental muito diverso e não reflete a cultura ou a realidade do resto do país porém é só o que é mandado pra fora. (E não falo do estado porquê a maioria dos gringos não saem da cidade.) Ainda é uma imagem linda do Brasil, mas cria um estereótipo que não nos reflete em grande maioria e não aumenta nosso turismo em outros estados.
I understand them. When europeans and americans think about Latin America, they think about a world of violence, drugs and slums exotic and foreign to them, and that's what they want to see. They don't want to see a cheaper knock-off version of Europe, that's why they don't go to Southern Brazil or Argentina.
Brazil has enormous potential for tourism that is not explored, thanks to videos like this one, it is possible to present the jewels that exist in the south of the country, I lived for years in the south of Brazil and it is still one of my favorite places!
@@LewisWirthpra quem conhece o Brasil, não há nada de bizarro. O Brasil tem um pedaço de cada parte do mundo. É o país mais multicultural e étnico do mundo.
Abhängig von der Region, in der Sie sich befinden, wird es eine größere Konzentration von Polen, Ukrainern, Deutschen, Italienern, Portugiesen, Japanern, Syrern, Libanesen, afrikanischen Nachkommen und anderen Nationalitäten geben. Brasilien als Ganzes unterscheidet sich stark von dem, was gezeigt wird, nur Rio de Janeiro, Mulatten und Karneval. Ich komme einfach aufs Land, um es zu verstehen.
And you are very welcome here. Come to Santa Catarina, the safest state in Brazil. Here you have enough attractions for 2 weeks. You can see picturesque cities with Austrian, German, Italian and Portuguese influences such as Treze Tílias, Blumenau, Pomerode, Joinville, Nova Veneza and São Francisco. Santa Catarina hosts the second largest Oktoberfest in the world, in the city of Blumenau. You can also see some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil such as Orto Belo, Florinanópolis, Palhoça and Garopaba. We also have Balneário Camboriú, the Brazilian Dubai, where the tallest skyscrapers in Latin America are located. You can also visit the most beautiful Brazilian road called Serra do Rio do Rastro. Santa Catarina is the coldest state in Brazil, so in the winter you can visit some cities such as Uribici and Bom Jardim da Serra, where you can enjoy regional food based on pine nuts, high-quality meat and trout fish. Land in the capital Florianópolis, rent a car and enjoy your trip. 🥰
You are welcome in Brazil, but please do not go to Rio de Janeiro, Salvador or São Paulo. I recommend the southern states of our country or some safer states in the southeast region.
As a Brazilian Italian from Santa Catarina, Brusque, it warms my heart to see our country being appreciated by people around the world. you are doing a great work my friend.
Eu rachei o bico com isso, a gente não consegue perder os vícios linguísticos. Toda vez os brasileiros soltando um "né?" como se ele fosse entender kkkkk.
omg I always thought it was austrian, so it's originally slovenian and just known here under a different name, fascinating! Volksmusik doesn't seem to be interested in borders :D
O holandês é muito semelhante ao alemão. Mais ao menos a diferença entre o espanhol e português ou no máximo o português e o italiano. Eles aprendemos inglês e alemão/francês na escola. Então, a maioria dos holandeses fala umas 3 línguas por padrão. Daí se tiverem interesse em aprender mais uma ou duas línguas, já são 4 ou 5.
não posso dizer que aprendi muito mais na escola do que uma base moderada de inglês e apenas algum vocabulário de alemão. Eu diria que a maioria dos alunos não tinha muito interesse em alemão e o currículo não era ótimo, só mais tarde comecei a aprender sozinho. com os níveis mais baixos de educação, eles abandonam a terceira língua com mais frequência, mas ainda assim, sendo um país tão pequeno e tão próximo do alemão e do francês, muitos aprendem a falar pelo menos em algum nível decente, mesmo que não os tenham na escola
As an Austrian, this is so cool to see, this place really gives off a kinda of "home" vibe for me, and a sense of familiarity, greetings and love to brazil🇦🇹❤️🇧🇷
Yeah it’s crazy right? I’ve been to Austria 🇦🇹 a few time to go skiing and though some things like the road infrastructure the amount of advertising, electric poles and type of vegetation/climate are a bit out of place it looks surprisingly Austrian 🇦🇹🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I’m glad you enjoyed it I hope you can find some other videos that you like just as much
What a coincidence. At some point someone had to live close to there though. How similar did it look id assume it’s just a caricature inspired by Wildschönau
In the south of Brazil there was a significant colonization by Germanic peoples and, as many communities were isolated, they preserved the language and customs (although in some regions the Hunsrückisch dialect is spoken, and in the city of Pomerode, Pommeranisch). My family came to Brazil just before the First World War, and we all still speak German, although many of the family have already returned to Germany. I hope you're enjoying Brazil. Best regards from São Bento do Sul - Santa Catarina.
Heyyy I’ve been to Sao Bento do Sul! I’m still not sure how I’ll use the footage from there because the weather was horrible when I visited but it was a nice experience there’s many beautiful historic buildings there
@@Nathavolt I think that you are referring to the fact that they were settlers and not exploiters like most of Portuguese colonizers that just exported goods from Brazil while living in Portugal. But it was still a colonization because the Germanics moved to forest regions and built their communities from the ground up. They civilized/colonized the wilderness. It's very different than just migrating to a place that there's already infrastructure. Both settlement colonies and exploration colonies are considered colonies.
I just came here to thank you for showing “the other side “ of Brazil. It’s such a huge and diverse country and people - always - go northeast other than south, which is so beautiful! Thank you!
Brazil is not only about big cities and capitals. The violence is mainly in the big cities. But sometimes (rare) groups of criminals go to the countryside to rob banks and turn some city into hell.
Apart from a few large cities (such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Salvador) the vast majority of Brazil is peaceful and friendly (except for Curitiba, not friendly)
cool seeing this , im from tyrol actually x) heared the stories of this colony in brazil but never saw anything like this.. cheers man , dein deutsch ist sehr gut :)
My grandfather helped build a lot of the older Austrian style houses in Dreizehnlinden, not much of his work is left nowadays tho. He was a carpenter from Osttirol, and was in some of the first groups of Austrians to come to Dreizehnlinden. My mom used to tell me lots of stories from my granddad about how life was like when he just arrived in Dreizehnlinden, like how everyone had to sleep in this huge shed because no one had houses yet, until the carpenters were able to build some. This town is very important for my identity as an Austrian-Brazilian, and for my family history, it makes my very happy to see it and its history being recognized internationally. Thank you for the video
@@shaq_99er He came from the village of Kartitsch in the Lienz region. We still keep in contact with our cousins there, but it's getting harder because our closer relatives are getting older and the younger ones are distancing themselves.
As an Brazillian, I'm very happy seeing people finnaly recognize that Brazil is an place where people can find their culture there, German, Swiss, Austrian, African, Netherlander, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and alot more! In minas gerais we have Monte Verde, nearby São Paulo border, which is an city with Swiss infrastructure, although quite small it doesn't fail to impress. The diversity in culture and ethnicity is crazy, from one state to another is very different, come visit us, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are just a little part of what Brazil truly is!
Thank you I’m glad you liked it. I hope more people outside of Brazil get to find the videos too. It seems like this recent boost has been almost all Brazilians finding this video. I hope this happens more and also for people from Europe, North America Japan and so on
Treze Tilias is a late migration Austrian spot in Brazil. The main group of immigrants came in the 1930s. So it is not hard to find 2nd or 3rd generation deustch speaking people around.
5:30 The “old brazilian flag” is actually my state flag - Ceará, in the northeast region of Brazil. Here’s a fun fact for you: my state went through a period of dutch colonization between 1630-1654 and we still have architectural remains of that time. Even my own last name is “Holanda”! Most of the family has green eyes, something the old heads believe to be due dutch and inidians mixing.
Interesting. Someone did tell me about the flag yeah I looked it up and saw my mistake. Well I’m glad you liked my video I hope you can enjoy some of the other ones as well
No, the Big Head reference come from the Independence War. The Ceará Troops used a Very Common type of Headgear. The enemies called'em "flat Head" cause of this. Another reason, the Local Population of Ceará, have this characteristic of to have a Big Head, "biscuit face". Ceará is a Very mixed place, very hard to see a person who dont have any Native Blood @@Ricco2023
It’s crazy man. Even recently my sister suggested me to visit something on the other side of the country and I’m like “that’s absolutely not going to happen maybe on another trip.
Treze Tilias is an awesome place, beautiful houses without walls, very safe, calm, people are friendly and not even people born in Santa Catarina knows about it, I wonder how someone outside Brazil heard of it.
Chances are he has never heard about it. He might have heard there are places in Brazil where German is spoken. Then he opened Google and typed (where is german spoken in Brazil?).
@RogerRamos1993 actually as response to the both of you. I first got interested in this general topic during the COVID lockdowns. Frustrated with not being able to travel first I was mainly interested in its Japanese heritage cause not being able to go to Japan Brazil was one of the few countries that was open to travel. Sadly for other reasons I couldn’t go at the time but here I could finally more prepared then I’d have otherwise been. But finding out about the Japanese heritage places much less touristy then even this city was I started looking up more places which later became planning out my trip. I still remember looking at pictures on google maps of the miniature town about 4 years ago thinking about doing videos there. And after all that time only some of my ideas have been used by other RUclipsrs and I’d say most of them aren’t up to a standard that I try to set for myself. Or they’re just kind of going for a different audience and atmosphere. These places are also the initial reasons why I’ve been learning Portuguese
I live nearby, in a German city called Blumenau. I never expected youtube to recommend me this video, it's great to see people enjoying our culture.(I know is not really nearby , it just feels like it since Brazil is huge)
Oh I’ve been there too, filmed a lot especially in smaller cities near there. I would say it was still quite a long drive, but do note I’m from a country much smaller than your entire state. So that means a bit of a different perspective
@@LewisWirth Exactly, it is not that close, but I felt it was since Brasil is that big. I live in Germany now, in Bonn, and I take less then 2 hours to get to Netherlands, which support my feeling of Brasil being a giant country.
So cool, I'm from Minas Gerais/BR, love the SC state - and it's very interesting to see it by your perspective. Thanks for showing it like I was there visiting those places. ( Too bad damn YT algorithm don't show up good creators like you, really deserve more subs and views, good luck and keep it up 👍)
Congratulations on the video! I am very happy to see a foreigner showing the beautiful parts of my country, I am descended from Italians, Spanish and Portuguese, I am proud of all of them. Congratulations on the video once again, I love my country!
So cool! I am a brazilian living in austria, so probably this is why this video was recommended to me. I am still learning german (austrian, actually) but could understand everything said. I think it was last week when I was talking with my german teacher about these european colonies in Brazil. It was very nice to see how the languages are mixed and that some people make the same mistakes as myself haha
Hahaha that’s funny to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed the video I hope more people there will find it. And maybe you’ll like some of my other similar videos too.
@@LewisWirth traveling is expensive for us, even inside Brazil. Sure, going to the south of Brazil is not only for rich (like going abroad is), but still only for high-middle class, or middle class people that save quite a lot. I earn an average salary here (4.000 reais monthly) and can barely keep myself with rent and bills, let alone travel. So yeah, our society works different, not that easy to just travel. I remember a professor from England who suggested me to not pirate movies, that i should watch Ari Aster's new movie (beau is afraid) on cinema so then he could produce more good movies. Then i politely told him that in a country where we can barely buy basic stuff, we don't have that moral dilenma about piracy. Leisure should be for all, we are not that developed to a point where downloading a movie for free is frowned upon.
@@PedroRochadaCunha yeah don’t worry about piracy. But I’m certainly fortunate to grow up in the nation where I did grow up. Though I’ve been saving up for about 3 years full time and part time before that. It’s an a lot higher wage then people in for example Brazil make. And if we had complete open borders in Europe I mean like no visa required for any country then the manual labor jobs that i worked for those years living with my parents because couldn't get a house or apartment anyway then id also get a much lower salary then even now. at least in countries like brazil the options for apartments and food and ubers are a bit more adjusted to your lower income because they're also paid a lower income
I have family in Treze Tílias and visit the city often, so it was fun to watch your video! However, I felt it lacked a deeper dive into the local culture. The city isn’t just a collection of beautiful buildings; it breathes Austrian culture through very active cultural clubs that preserve traditions and hold events throughout the year. These clubs are key to understanding the true essence of Treze Tílias and would have greatly enriched the content if they had been explored. Just a tip for a future visit: try connecting with these cultural organizations-they have a lot to share about the city’s history and daily life. Thank you for showing Treze Tílias to more people!
I don't have a clue why this video came up to my timeline but it couldn't be more welcome. I live in Curitiba and I'm planning a road trip on the next summer thru the interior of Santa Catarina and Treze Tilias was one of my main stops. So thank you for this very useful content. My great-great-grandparents from my mom's side immigrated from Austria to Brusque in Brazil and my grandma used to speak a german dialect with her siblings. Me and my sis were fascinated about it and one of my mom's dreams was to travel to Austria to see the Alps one day. She will never make it because of her age and health, but I'll be there next time I fly to Europe. Thank you again.
I'm glad you found it and there's still more videos to come though it'll be a long time for me to edit. I wish you good luck on the trip you're planning this (southern) summer
Man, I can't belive that i found your channel hahaha that's amazing! I'm from Santa Catarina too and I already visited Treze Tílias. The germanics and italian cultures are really strong here in our state. A lot of people speak German, Italian or Polish. Thank you for showing our beauties:)
And thank you for watching, I hope more people can find my videos so I can keep doing this and come back to Brazil to make more videos. But first I must edit the ones that I have already filmed but aren’t ready yet
best ytb recommendation this month! really nice to see a gringo getting to know more about Brazil's extensive immigration background. looking foward to your next videos
I'm brazilian, I remember visiting this town when I was very young and thinking if any germans or austrians would like staying there. Nice to know now that you did!
Remember this: The first Empress of Brazil was an Austrian Habsburg princess daughter of the Emperor of the Austrian-hungarian Empire, and she accomplished two significant things: 1) incorporated the yellow diamond from the Hapsburg flag into Brazil’s flag, and 2) facilitated the immigration of thousands of German-speaking settlers to Brazil starting in 1822.
I learned about then still in the 90's, thank you so much for making this video about our Austrians in Brazil. We have many different diasporas and some are so big that their population are bigger than in their country of origin, like the Lebanese! There's a book written both in German and Portuguese about their immigrants by the way. I got to meet the author in the 90's when I still lived in my native Rio. He was an Austrian who'd married to a Brazilian. I've given the due thumbs-up and subscribed. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎄🎄🎄
Just for the context, Pedro II, the last Brazilian emperor, was the son of a Habsburg princess (the sister of Napoleon’s second wife, if I’m not mistaken). That’s why when they needed to populate that region they brought immigrants from Austria, but also Bavaria and Pomerania.
the first wife was her sister as well, Napoleon like the Habsburg, is said that he even called the brazilian emperor, Pedro I, brother in law which Pedro loved, because he admired Napoleon.
Yeah, the Dutch love Austria and Tirol. Not even when we go to Brazil they leave us alone ;p Just kidding, I love the Netherlands and the Dutch people ♥ Much love from Tirol/Austria
Yeah who's suprised we don't have any of those beautiful mountains. I did manage to do some skiing in Chile an Argentina, great experience editing that is a bit lower on the priority list though
Amazing video bro, I was born in Videira, less than 50km away from Treze Tilias.... thanks for showing my region for the rest of the world... Videira is mostly Italian though, as I am
A tip from a guy that traveled some countries, be more happy and smile more when speaking with brazilians, this will change they behaviour even more positively.
@@ThiagoKlock-l6x kissing ass? This is called being nice to others, you can't speak for an entire country just because you live in the middle of nowhere... And stop trying to seem tough, you're not.
@@ThiagoKlock-l6x Living in Curitiba is not a parameter for anything, and you know that. You can't speak for the entire country, people from Curitiba are too annoying, you are not an example.
Yeah, i went backpacking across europe last year (czechia, austria, hungary, italy, france and uk) and was shocked at how few social people i found. In a whole month, i found like 3-4 non-brazilians that really talked and wanted to hang out. Like what's the point of staying in a hostel if you won't even interact with people, if you don't like talking and making friends?
Thanks man, finding out about this and knowing no one had shown it before made me come here to film it and I hope many more people can find the videos that’s what I made them for. It seems that at this point mainly Brazilians have seen them not that many people outside of Brazil
As if only Brazil had misery. They never say anything about the misery and homeless problem in the United States. They grabbed Brazil when the matter is poverty.
@@andrevmartin7943 They actually do show it a lot in the United States too. I don't really seek it out but still see a lot of English language media. But also a number of RUclips have taken it upon themselves to show these places in their countries like videos on shitty cities in the UK do very well and there's people doing similar stuff in the US. They get hate for it sometimes but I don't think it's all that bad to show those places it's honest reporting and at least it makes it harder for people to deny how shit these places have become. the drugs the crime. I know Brazil is bad in places but in other ways some of the worst cities in the West seem even worse in some instances
WOW this is sooo nice! Thank you Lewis!! I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, but I'm currently living in England and I'm really really happy to see my background on RUclips. My first language is Hunsruck which is a German Dialect, I learned Portuguese when I was five, but only because I was about to start school and couldnt speak Portuguese at all! LOL I hope you are having a good time in Brazil! 🇧🇷
Hahaha very interesting, nice to hear. I've spoken to some people that spoke Hunsruck but they were still better at Portuguese. Thank you for your comment, hope you like some of the other videos too and my up coming one on Pomerode
In the 1950s, I grew up in Sao Paulo (Jardim Europa) and attended the American School. Very European and well educated area. Then later, I went on mission trips to Alagoas adjusting to the local variants of Portuguese. Overall my lasting impression is that Brasil is two countries, north and south. Thank you for showing the southern area and its Germanic culture. With seasonal frosts and apples, it would be very familiar to North Americans seeking an alternative environment to live.
I also went to Dreizehnlinden this year, sad that you weren't able to visit the museum. It used to be the house of the city founder and it talks about the struggles and achievements of the first immigrants in the city. Shows a lot of cool stuff from the XIX and early XX century in both portuguese and german and even talked about a guy who was able to grow the edelweiss in Dreizehnlinden! (tough today the flower is not seen there). Anyways, if someday you come visit the city again, defenitely go visit. Peace from Brazil.
I have twice met people from Treze Tílias (Dreizehnlinden) in Vorarlberg. One, almost twenty years ago. He told me that comes (or came) each summer to work in Austria to earn money for the house he was building back home. I assume the wages were/are much better in Austria. He had an Austrian passport and spoke German with a heavy Brazilian Portuguese accent. The other actually still lives in Vorarlberg or its surroundings, as far as I know. The way I understood it one side of his family was from Vorarlberg, the other from Italy. He was born and raised in Treze Tílias. I would have never guessed he's from Brazil, when I first met him.
Very interesting, the guy that I spoke to in this video also said he worked in Vorarlberg for a number of years and a good portion of the people there are south Tyroleans rather they're Italian is complicated but here's lots of Italians too in the state. And I've spoken to many people about wages also in the financial center Sao Paulo and the wages are far far lower. Even in Chile a country with one of the highest wages of the continent it's still a quarter to half a western European minimum wage or less. But many things in daily life are cheaper unless it's imported or subject to some type of bureaucracy or tax.
@@LewisWirth The second person I mentioned has an Italian last name. So I assume his paternal side has the Italian roots and the maternal in Vorarlberg. Maybe his father's side originates from Trention (I saw a Trentino flag in your video in the restaurant). Quite many people also in today's Austrian Tyrol and Vorarlberg have Italian last names (one of the more famous ones is skier Marc Giradelli), mostly due to roots in Trentino and Northern Italy. Anyways, thank you for the video!
@@transitguy A large part of the white, or at least light-skinned, Brazilian population comes from Italy. It is almost as large as the number of Portuguese. I am Brazilian, mixed race, and I have Italian ancestry too.
That’s crazy because pay in Europe is pretty shit too. For example a manual laborer at say DHL in the US will make at least 30% more every month than someone doing the same work for DHL in Germany, and be taxed less too
What an amazing video! I’m really glad to see how people get impressed by visiting the city I was born and love so much! There’re a lot of things that I could’ve explainned to you about the city (not everithing 😂), but I see that you have discovered a lot by yourself. Anyone who’s looking for an austrian experience in Brasil should come to Treze Tílias. Big hug from all of trezetilienses, and be safe!
Man, that is a beautiful little town... I visited there when I was a child, and later I developed a customer there, so more or less once a year I visit them It is always a nice and great experience, such a beautiful little place
Man, this was an outstanding video, I really enjoyed it! Brazil is such a unique place that sometimes it's even funny. Regarding European ancestry and more specifically Austrian ancestry I have a personal story to share: At school we are usually told that we all have some sort of basic Portuguese, African and native American ancestry and that's that. I always wondered if that was the case with me, since both my last names are of Portuguese origin and are fairly common in both Brazil and Portugal, so I kind of went along with the whole Portuguese-African-Native american ancestry story and didn't think too much about it for a good portion of my life. Now, over the past few years, I've become much more interested in researching my ancestry, since I found out that on my father's birth certificate (who doesn't look Portuguese or African or Native American at all) had his grandparents name registered as well, which were of a very different language from Portuguese and I couldn't figure out where it was from. That led me into starting my research and trying to find as much information as I could. Eventually, I got lucky and I managed to find some records of my great-great-grandfather's history in Brazil. So, in the year 1900, my great-great-grandfather entered Brazil through the Port of Santos. On the passenger's list, his nationality was listed as "Austrian", but back then, that would mean he was from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so he could have been from pretty much anywhere in there, not specifically from the modern region of Austria. After a long period of research I eventually found out that he came from the western part of modern Austria and instead of settling in the south of Brazil, he had intended to work in coffee plantations in the west of São Paulo state. That led him to eventually buy land in Minas Gerais a few years after his arrival in Brazil and settle there, which was where he raised his family, including my great grandfather, who, by some unknown reason didn't pass along his last name to my grandfather and so on. I found out that I had a lot of cousins and great-uncles who actually still live in that region of Minas Gerais and it was such an interesting research for me. I managed to reach out to them and we are still in touch, but that branch of the family still carries the last name, Babos, which is of Hungarian origin, but some of them settled in modern day Austria and some of them, like my great great grandfather, emmigrated to Brazil. I know it was a bit of a long text, but it's so interesting to see new things about my country and a somewhat "shared" ancestry, especially by the eyes of a foreigner. Either way, I absolutely loved your video and wish all the best to you and the Austrian community in Treze Tílias. Um abraço e sucesso ao seu canal!
Thank you very much. Interesting to find out about that kind of stuff. It's really a part of Brazil that not many foreigners know about and I felt like it hadn't been done justice thus I set out to start this channel to document places like these. Not only in Brazil but Brazil is so diverse with so many stories to tell things to show places to visit I ended up filming a lot there and I'm still working on more that I hope will come out soon.
@@pabloagfs opa, tudo bem? Então, eu cheguei a dar uma olhada durante essa minha pesquisa e parece que isso entrou em vigor recentemente, em 2022. Justamente nesse ano eu saí do Brasil, então acabou que eu não tinha feito planos para fazer essa mudança. Eu já pensei em fazer, mas aparentemente tem que comunicar essa alteração a todos os outros órgãos (secretaria de segurança pública, tribunal eleitoral, receita federal, etc.), além de ter que fazer a mudança em bancos, instituições de ensino para constar o novo sobrenome no diploma, ou seja, acaba sendo um esforço muito grande. Eu gostaria muito de fazer essa mudança (apesar de minha esposa e minha mãe não acharem uma boa ideia kkkk), mas ainda não decidi realmente se vou seguir por esse caminho, ainda mais com essa burocracia e por eu não mais residir no Brasil. Mesmo assim, agradeço o seu comentário e recomendação. Abraços!
Hey, Lewis!! You should visit the Italian part of the colonization in southern Brazil. Especially in the southern region of Santa Catarina and in the north of Rio Grande do Sul. An interesting city that preserves a historical center is Nova Veneza. The city is known for its Italian cuisine. You will also find descendants who speak Italian and preserve their culture very well.
Fun fact, I actually already did. But I have such a mountain of editing work and I've been filming some other videos too so I haven't had the time to even start editing that project and yes it includes Nova Veneza and a bunch more. But the same goes for the German towns like Pomerode and a few more. But thank you for the suggestion it's good to hear because this indicates that I wasn't wrong to travel all over Rio grande do sul and parts of Santa Catarina with flooded roads road closures and lots of rain for nothing. Thank you for your comment
12:05 that "big company" is also called "Tirol" and its used all across southern brazil lol, also great video btw, southern brazil truly is beautiful, and although there are of course bad parts (its brazil what do you expect) its definetely much better off than the rest of the country, especially in Santa Catarina
18:07 that door is for moving the pigs. the livestock trucks will back out touching that little concrete ramp so the pigs can be loaded onto the trucks. great video. that little town looks lovely.
16:58 I stayed in that building in front of the cow monument with my parents when we visited treze tílias. It’s a really cozy hostel, the older lady that manages it is super sweet, the price is also very reasonable.
@@LewisWirth it was over 2 years ago so I don’t really remember the price, but it was cheaper than all hotels around the area. The name of the place is “Hospedaria da Cecília Moser” if you put it on google maps you can get her WhatsApp and she would give you prices. It’s not luxurious but it’s very clean and feels very homey. It’s an apartment style hostel so you have a small living room, kitchen and bedroom.
My surnames are “Kruger Prusch”, Kruger being a classic German last name and Prusch being originated from Prussian roots, mixed German and Polish. I currently live in Novo Hamburgo (New Hamburg) in Rio Grande do Sul. I didn’t even know about this city, isn’t it crazy that I needed a dutch to present me this city from Brazil not too far from me? Lol. I don’t speak German unfortunately, maybe I’ll learn some day. There are many other cities that you will want to visit, specially the dutch-inspired (and colonized) ones, I’m sure you will like the experience. Near my town we have “Zaandam” which has some Dutch roots and architecture, in Paraná the teo most famous are Carambei and Holambra. Also, we have lots of German and Italian colonies here down south, Gramado, Canela, Bento Gonçalves are great ones to visit. Subscribed! Gonna check your other videos (maybe you have gone to these already?). Cheers
I've been to Carambei Castro and Holambra and I visited a bunch of the Italian and German ones too. which shows that I've got a lot of editing work to be done
South of Brazil had a strong settlement colonization of europeans around XIX sec. As was a recent part of our history there are still many cultural aspects like buildings, dialects, foods and habits. The further inland you go the more you gonna find these strong influences. Im from Santa Catarina’s offshore, but people from countryside have big proud about their ancestors and culture. Brazil has a mix of cultures around the country, we say there are many Brazils in Brazil
You should check out the southernmost state of Brazil, it possesses even more Italian, Austrian, and German influence! I am from Padova and always feel at home there.
I did visit Rio grande do sul actually and I finished one video that I made there during the floods or well the later stages there off. And the video about Italian culture there is coming up too but first another German one and it’ll take quite some time to edit
it's funny because I'm brazilian and I wasn't aware of this place. maybe I can visit it in the future. I was looking for places to travel here in my country. Thank you for showing me this!
This state Santa Catarina is the safest ever, without any problems I can say that it is safer than most of Europe, I encourage you guys to come with no fear
As an Austrian myself this is really surreal. I have to visit this place! The architecture looks exactly like my hometown!
I can definitely recommend it. Though if you come you have to make a bigger trip out of it. São Paulo is definitely the cheapest to fly to for a start and from there you can stipple out your further plans.
@@LewisWirth Thanks for the tips!
Venha para o Brasil, será bem vindo ! 😊
That's true.... I'm Brazilian, and my father in law was born in a small town, where everybody speaks German, and he didn't know anything in Portuguese until he was 8 years old, when he went to school for the first time..... My wife's grandma passed away without knowing how to speak Portuguese!
@@no_alias_for_meState of Santa Catarina
Cities with descent Italy, Austria, Germany. More developed state with beautiful beaches and trendy coastal cities..
To go there, also take the opportunity to stop by Curitiba, a world model city in sustainability, technology and transport.
And Foz do Iguaçu Falls is one of the wonders of the world.
Then in Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul.
What foreigners don't understand is that Brazil is a mix of several colonies and cultures. We speak Portuguese, but the largest colony of Italians outside of Italy is in Brazil, of Germans outside of Germany is in Brazil, of Japanese outside of Japan is in Brazil, of Turks, Koreans, Africans too. There is even a Ukrainian city with Ukrainian traditions in Brazil. We had the largest immigration of peoples in the world in the 19th and 20th centuries. That's why everyone looks like a Brazilian, we don't have a standard, we are all at the same time.
MEUS PAIS ERAM FILHOS DE ITALIANOS...AMO O BRASIL E AMO A ITALIA...SOMOS DO ESTADO DE SAO PAULO MAS HA MUITOS DESCENDENTES DE ITALIANOS NO SUL DO BRASIL...AQUI TEMOS PESSOAS DE QUASE TODOS PAISES DO MUNDO...""AQUI NÃO TEM APENAS CARNAVAL SAMBA FUTEBOL PRAIA......AQUI OS ESTADOS SAO MUITO DIFERENTES NA CULTURA NA MISTURA DAS RAÇAS""...
chinese also in são paulo, a lot of refugees of all european countries came to brazil during the first and second world war
Biggest colony sure, but America has millions of people of German descent after several hundred years of immigration. And America has the largest amount of South Koreans outside of South Korea. Same with Swedish, Norwegians, and Danish ancestry. As well as several million people of Italian descent.

The wife of Pedro I, the portuguese prince who made Brazil independent and became the first emperor of Brazil, was austrian from the Habsburg family, daughter of the Austro-Hungarian emperor, she was also one of the main responsibles for the brazilian independence, encouraging Pedro to move in that direction and working to improve Brazil as an independent nation. That ´ s also the reason for the start of the germanic immigration to Brazil.
She is also the reason for the yellow color on the brazilian flag, representing the house of Habsburg.
And she was known for her kindness and philanthropic work. A nice very intelligent empress.

Then the socialists thought it would be a good idea to transform Brazil in a democracy. Now we have thousands of thieves and criminals with power to do whatever they want.
@@wotanmituns33 Yes. But when Brazil became a Republic the flag was changed a little. The Imperial Shield was removed and the green and yellow as maintained BUT it the meaning of the colors was changed.
The Green became the forests instead of the Bragança house. And the yellow became the gold (mineral wealth) instead of the Habsburgs.
Ok, the MEANING of the colors changed. But you are right, the REASON for the colors is the original one... thus, the Habsburg.

I understand them. When europeans and americans think about Latin America, they think about a world of violence, drugs and slums exotic and foreign to them, and that's what they want to see.

Abhängig von der Region, in der Sie sich befinden, wird es eine größere Konzentration von Polen, Ukrainern, Deutschen, Italienern, Portugiesen, Japanern, Syrern, Libanesen, afrikanischen Nachkommen und anderen Nationalitäten geben.

And you are very welcome here. Come to Santa Catarina, the safest state in Brazil. Here you have enough attractions for 2 weeks. You can see picturesque cities with Austrian, German, Italian and Portuguese influences such as Treze Tílias, Blumenau, Pomerode, Joinville, Nova Veneza and São Francisco. Santa Catarina hosts the second largest Oktoberfest in the world, in the city of Blumenau. You can also see some of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil such as Orto Belo, Florinanópolis, Palhoça and Garopaba. We also have Balneário Camboriú, the Brazilian Dubai, where the tallest skyscrapers in Latin America are located. You can also visit the most beautiful Brazilian road called Serra do Rio do Rastro. Santa Catarina is the coldest state in Brazil, so in the winter you can visit some cities such as Uribici and Bom Jardim da Serra, where you can enjoy regional food based on pine nuts, high-quality meat and trout fish. Land in the capital Florianópolis, rent a car and enjoy your trip. 🥰

O holandês é muito semelhante ao alemão. Mais ao menos a diferença entre o espanhol e português ou no máximo o português e o italiano. Eles aprendemos inglês e alemão/francês na escola. Então, a maioria dos holandeses fala umas 3 línguas por padrão. Daí se tiverem interesse em aprender mais uma ou duas línguas, já são 4 ou 5.
não posso dizer que aprendi muito mais na escola do que uma base moderada de inglês e apenas algum vocabulário de alemão. Eu diria que a maioria dos alunos não tinha muito interesse em alemão e o currículo não era ótimo, só mais tarde comecei a aprender sozinho. com os níveis mais baixos de educação, eles abandonam a terceira língua com mais frequência, mas ainda assim, sendo um país tão pequeno e tão próximo do alemão e do francês, muitos aprendem a falar pelo menos em algum nível decente, mesmo que não os tenham na escola

In the south of Brazil there was a significant colonization by Germanic peoples and, as many communities were isolated, they preserved the language and customs (although in some regions the Hunsrückisch dialect is spoken, and in the city of Pomerode, Pommeranisch). My family came to Brazil just before the First World War, and we all still speak German, although many of the family have already returned to Germany.

It wasn't colonization, it was immigration, it's quite different.
@@Nathavolt I think that you are referring to the fact that they were settlers and not exploiters like most of Portuguese colonizers that just exported goods from Brazil while living in Portugal. But it was still a colonization because the Germanics moved to forest regions and built their communities from the ground up. They civilized/colonized the wilderness. It's very different than just migrating to a place that there's already infrastructure. Both settlement colonies and exploration colonies are considered colonies.
@@Nathavolt the area was essentially devoid of humans. The immigrants are the ones who really colonized it.

@RogerRamos1993 actually as response to the both of you. I first got interested in this general topic during the COVID lockdowns. Frustrated with not being able to travel first I was mainly interested in its Japanese heritage cause not being able to go to Japan Brazil was one of the few countries that was open to travel. Sadly for other reasons I couldn’t go at the time but here I could finally more prepared then I’d have otherwise been. But finding out about the Japanese heritage places much less touristy then even this city was I started looking up more places which later became planning out my trip. I still remember looking at pictures on google maps of the miniature town about 4 years ago thinking about doing videos there. And after all that time only some of my ideas have been used by other RUclipsrs and I’d say most of them aren’t up to a standard that I try to set for myself. Or they’re just kind of going for a different audience and atmosphere. These places are also the initial reasons why I’ve been learning Portuguese

I live nearby, in a German city called Blumenau. I never expected youtube to recommend me this video, it's great to see people enjoying our culture.(I know is not really nearby , it just feels like it since Brazil is huge)
its not nearby lmao
Oh I’ve been there too, filmed a lot especially in smaller cities near there. I would say it was still quite a long drive, but do note I’m from a country much smaller than your entire state. So that means a bit of a different perspective
Treze Tilias is on the west of Santa Catarina, several hours away from Blumenau
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel I know, but still close in such a big country as Brasil.
@@LewisWirth Exactly, it is not that close, but I felt it was since Brasil is that big. I live in Germany now, in Bonn, and I take less then 2 hours to get to Netherlands, which support my feeling of Brasil being a giant country.
So cool, I'm from Minas Gerais/BR, love the SC state - and it's very interesting to see it by your perspective. Thanks for showing it like I was there visiting those places.
( Too bad damn YT algorithm don't show up good creators like you, really deserve more subs and views, good luck and keep it up 👍)
I’m from São Paulo but live in Italy. My favorite region here is Sud Tyrol. In Brazil the “Germanic” cities of Santa Catarina were also my favorite.
Congratulations on the video! I am very happy to see a foreigner showing the beautiful parts of my country, I am descended from Italians, Spanish and Portuguese, I am proud of all of them. Congratulations on the video once again, I love my country!
Sehr gute. Vielen Dank.
So cool! I am a brazilian living in austria, so probably this is why this video was recommended to me. I am still learning german (austrian, actually) but could understand everything said. I think it was last week when I was talking with my german teacher about these european colonies in Brazil. It was very nice to see how the languages are mixed and that some people make the same mistakes as myself haha
Hahaha that’s funny to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed the video I hope more people there will find it. And maybe you’ll like some of my other similar videos too.
Great video. Really wanna visit this place as well😍 greetings from upper Austria!
Sweet and thank you that’s nice to hear. I hope more people from Austria find this video any maybe others that they might also enjoy
From Brazil but living abroad, thanks for showing this! I have not been to the south of Brazil yet.
It's really a must visit so many great things to see there
@@LewisWirth traveling is expensive for us, even inside Brazil. Sure, going to the south of Brazil is not only for rich (like going abroad is), but still only for high-middle class, or middle class people that save quite a lot. I earn an average salary here (4.000 reais monthly) and can barely keep myself with rent and bills, let alone travel.
So yeah, our society works different, not that easy to just travel.
I remember a professor from England who suggested me to not pirate movies, that i should watch Ari Aster's new movie (beau is afraid) on cinema so then he could produce more good movies. Then i politely told him that in a country where we can barely buy basic stuff, we don't have that moral dilenma about piracy. Leisure should be for all, we are not that developed to a point where downloading a movie for free is frowned upon.
@@PedroRochadaCunha yeah don’t worry about piracy. But I’m certainly fortunate to grow up in the nation where I did grow up. Though I’ve been saving up for about 3 years full time and part time before that. It’s an a lot higher wage then people in for example Brazil make. And if we had complete open borders in Europe I mean like no visa required for any country then the manual labor jobs that i worked for those years living with my parents because couldn't get a house or apartment anyway then id also get a much lower salary then even now. at least in countries like brazil the options for apartments and food and ubers are a bit more adjusted to your lower income because they're also paid a lower income
I have family in Treze Tílias and visit the city often, so it was fun to watch your video! However, I felt it lacked a deeper dive into the local culture. The city isn’t just a collection of beautiful buildings; it breathes Austrian culture through very active cultural clubs that preserve traditions and hold events throughout the year. These clubs are key to understanding the true essence of Treze Tílias and would have greatly enriched the content if they had been explored. Just a tip for a future visit: try connecting with these cultural organizations-they have a lot to share about the city’s history and daily life. Thank you for showing Treze Tílias to more people!
I Love this city. The food is delicious !
It really is! it's funny how much Germanic cuisine I've eaten in Latin America, also considering I haven't even posted half of it yet
I don't have a clue why this video came up to my timeline but it couldn't be more welcome. I live in Curitiba and I'm planning a road trip on the next summer thru the interior of Santa Catarina and Treze Tilias was one of my main stops. So thank you for this very useful content.
My great-great-grandparents from my mom's side immigrated from Austria to Brusque in Brazil and my grandma used to speak a german dialect with her siblings. Me and my sis were fascinated about it and one of my mom's dreams was to travel to Austria to see the Alps one day. She will never make it because of her age and health, but I'll be there next time I fly to Europe.
Thank you again.
I'm glad you found it and there's still more videos to come though it'll be a long time for me to edit.
I wish you good luck on the trip you're planning this (southern) summer
Man, I can't belive that i found your channel hahaha that's amazing! I'm from Santa Catarina too and I already visited Treze Tílias. The germanics and italian cultures are really strong here in our state. A lot of people speak German, Italian or Polish. Thank you for showing our beauties:)
And thank you for watching, I hope more people can find my videos so I can keep doing this and come back to Brazil to make more videos. But first I must edit the ones that I have already filmed but aren’t ready yet
@LewisWirth I'll certainly watch them all hahahha
best ytb recommendation this month! really nice to see a gringo getting to know more about Brazil's extensive immigration background. looking foward to your next videos
My family is from Austria and we live in São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve never heard about this city in all my life!
I’ll have to visit there, for sure!
I gotta be honest i really enjoyed watching this one for no apparent reason!! Keep up the good work! ❤🎉
Thank mate! Will do!
I'm brazilian, I remember visiting this town when I was very young and thinking if any germans or austrians would like staying there. Nice to know now that you did!
Great content!! I wanna visit this city.
Thanks mate, I can really recommend it
Remember this: The first Empress of Brazil was an Austrian Habsburg princess daughter of the Emperor of the Austrian-hungarian Empire, and she accomplished two significant things: 1) incorporated the yellow diamond from the Hapsburg flag into Brazil’s flag, and 2) facilitated the immigration of thousands of German-speaking settlers to Brazil starting in 1822.
I learned about then still in the 90's, thank you so much for making this video about our Austrians in Brazil. We have many different diasporas and some are so big that their population are bigger than in their country of origin, like the Lebanese!
There's a book written both in German and Portuguese about their immigrants by the way. I got to meet the author in the 90's when I still lived in my native Rio. He was an Austrian who'd married to a Brazilian.
I've given the due thumbs-up and subscribed.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 🎄🎄🎄
You also an early Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, thanks for liking and subscribing I hope you enjoyed some of the other videos just as much.
@@LewisWirth I'll certainly check them, I've just learned about your channel but I've already become a fan.🙏
That's great to hear, it means a lot to me to hear that.
Thank you
Just for the context, Pedro II, the last Brazilian emperor, was the son of a Habsburg princess (the sister of Napoleon’s second wife, if I’m not mistaken). That’s why when they needed to populate that region they brought immigrants from Austria, but also Bavaria and Pomerania.
the first wife was her sister as well, Napoleon like the Habsburg, is said that he even called the brazilian emperor, Pedro I, brother in law which Pedro loved, because he admired Napoleon.
Curiously enough the Pomeranian accent still exists in Pomerode-SC, but is lost in Germany istelf
Amazing Video, Lewis! Greetings from Santa Catarina!
Yeah, the Dutch love Austria and Tirol. Not even when we go to Brazil they leave us alone ;p
Just kidding, I love the Netherlands and the Dutch people ♥
Much love from Tirol/Austria
Yeah who's suprised we don't have any of those beautiful mountains. I did manage to do some skiing in Chile an Argentina, great experience editing that is a bit lower on the priority list though
Greetings from Vorarlberg in Austria
Nice I’m glad you found it and seem to have enjoyed it. I hope you can find some of the other videos interesting too
Nice I’m glad you found it and seem to have enjoyed it. I hope you can find some of the other videos interesting too
When you're in São Paulo, i would be glad to show you around the city ,cheers from a brazilian!
thank you for showing my state, have fun!
Amazing video bro, I was born in Videira, less than 50km away from Treze Tilias.... thanks for showing my region for the rest of the world... Videira is mostly Italian though, as I am
This city is very beautiful, I’ve heard great things about it. It’s definitely in my bucket list 🥰
Definitely go visit I’m sure you’ll love it
I live in Treze Tílias since I was born, amazing city, nice video too
This video is awesome. Great job.
6 million of Brazilians are german descendants. Why the surprise?
A tip from a guy that traveled some countries, be more happy and smile more when speaking with brazilians, this will change they behaviour even more positively.
Yeah I don’t think I can do that but I already love how welcoming they are so I’m not so worried.
@@LewisWirth a tip from a southern brazilian. We dont need this kind of kissing @ss here. Be yourself and respectful and everyone will enjoy you!
@@ThiagoKlock-l6x kissing ass? This is called being nice to others, you can't speak for an entire country just because you live in the middle of nowhere... And stop trying to seem tough, you're not.
@@ThiagoKlock-l6x Living in Curitiba is not a parameter for anything, and you know that. You can't speak for the entire country, people from Curitiba are too annoying, you are not an example.
Yeah, i went backpacking across europe last year (czechia, austria, hungary, italy, france and uk) and was shocked at how few social people i found. In a whole month, i found like 3-4 non-brazilians that really talked and wanted to hang out. Like what's the point of staying in a hostel if you won't even interact with people, if you don't like talking and making friends?
It's good to see someone from another country showing this side of Brazil, usually they only show misery.
Thanks man, finding out about this and knowing no one had shown it before made me come here to film it and I hope many more people can find the videos that’s what I made them for. It seems that at this point mainly Brazilians have seen them not that many people outside of Brazil
As if only Brazil had misery. They never say anything about the misery and homeless problem in the United States. They grabbed Brazil when the matter is poverty.
@@andrevmartin7943 They actually do show it a lot in the United States too. I don't really seek it out but still see a lot of English language media. But also a number of RUclips have taken it upon themselves to show these places in their countries like videos on shitty cities in the UK do very well and there's people doing similar stuff in the US. They get hate for it sometimes but I don't think it's all that bad to show those places it's honest reporting and at least it makes it harder for people to deny how shit these places have become. the drugs the crime. I know Brazil is bad in places but in other ways some of the worst cities in the West seem even worse in some instances
O Brasil é a 8 maior economia do mundo amigo.
@@lucas_tmaxMas esse rank leva em consideração o PIB e não o PIB per capita que é o indice mais importante nesse aspecto.
WOW this is sooo nice! Thank you Lewis!! I'm from Rio Grande do Sul, but I'm currently living in England and I'm really really happy to see my background on RUclips. My first language is Hunsruck which is a German Dialect, I learned Portuguese when I was five, but only because I was about to start school and couldnt speak Portuguese at all! LOL I hope you are having a good time in Brazil! 🇧🇷
Hahaha very interesting, nice to hear.
I've spoken to some people that spoke Hunsruck but they were still better at Portuguese.
Thank you for your comment, hope you like some of the other videos too and my up coming one on Pomerode
In the 1950s, I grew up in Sao Paulo (Jardim Europa) and attended the American School. Very European and well educated area. Then later, I went on mission trips to Alagoas adjusting to the local variants of Portuguese.
Overall my lasting impression is that Brasil is two countries, north and south.
Thank you for showing the southern area and its Germanic culture. With seasonal frosts and apples, it would be very familiar to North Americans seeking an alternative environment to live.
I also went to Dreizehnlinden this year, sad that you weren't able to visit the museum. It used to be the house of the city founder and it talks about the struggles and achievements of the first immigrants in the city. Shows a lot of cool stuff from the XIX and early XX century in both portuguese and german and even talked about a guy who was able to grow the edelweiss in Dreizehnlinden! (tough today the flower is not seen there). Anyways, if someday you come visit the city again, defenitely go visit. Peace from Brazil.
Thanks mate those were some nice insights didn't know the founder used to live there. Interesting
I have been to this town more times than I can count, it is really nice. Really wish you had visited Dreizenlinden Hotel. They are the best
I am from Southtirol and this is just nuts great video!!
Glad you enjoyed it! I want to visit South Tirol one day too. It sounds like an amazing place
Very interesting! Have a nice trip
Thank you, I will
Ja da sollte man als Tiroler 🇦🇹 echt mal hin....😊
toll schaut es dort aus....und alles so friedlich ❤❤
absolut, obwohl es etwas abgelegen ist
I have twice met people from Treze Tílias (Dreizehnlinden) in Vorarlberg. One, almost twenty years ago. He told me that comes (or came) each summer to work in Austria to earn money for the house he was building back home. I assume the wages were/are much better in Austria. He had an Austrian passport and spoke German with a heavy Brazilian Portuguese accent. The other actually still lives in Vorarlberg or its surroundings, as far as I know. The way I understood it one side of his family was from Vorarlberg, the other from Italy. He was born and raised in Treze Tílias. I would have never guessed he's from Brazil, when I first met him.
Very interesting, the guy that I spoke to in this video also said he worked in Vorarlberg for a number of years and a good portion of the people there are south Tyroleans rather they're Italian is complicated but here's lots of Italians too in the state.
And I've spoken to many people about wages also in the financial center Sao Paulo and the wages are far far lower.
Even in Chile a country with one of the highest wages of the continent it's still a quarter to half a western European minimum wage or less.
But many things in daily life are cheaper unless it's imported or subject to some type of bureaucracy or tax.
@@LewisWirth The second person I mentioned has an Italian last name. So I assume his paternal side has the Italian roots and the maternal in Vorarlberg. Maybe his father's side originates from Trention (I saw a Trentino flag in your video in the restaurant). Quite many people also in today's Austrian Tyrol and Vorarlberg have Italian last names (one of the more famous ones is skier Marc Giradelli), mostly due to roots in Trentino and Northern Italy. Anyways, thank you for the video!
@@transitguy A large part of the white, or at least light-skinned, Brazilian population comes from Italy. It is almost as large as the number of Portuguese. I am Brazilian, mixed race, and I have Italian ancestry too.
That’s crazy because pay in Europe is pretty shit too. For example a manual laborer at say DHL in the US will make at least 30% more every month than someone doing the same work for DHL in Germany, and be taxed less too
What an amazing video! I’m really glad to see how people get impressed by visiting the city I was born and love so much! There’re a lot of things that I could’ve explainned to you about the city (not everithing 😂), but I see that you have discovered a lot by yourself. Anyone who’s looking for an austrian experience in Brasil should come to Treze Tílias. Big hug from all of trezetilienses, and be safe!
Amazing I'm glad you liked it and hope you found some other videos too that suited your interests.
Man, that is a beautiful little town...
I visited there when I was a child, and later I developed a customer there, so more or less once a year I visit them
It is always a nice and great experience, such a beautiful little place
Man, this was an outstanding video, I really enjoyed it!
Brazil is such a unique place that sometimes it's even funny. Regarding European ancestry and more specifically Austrian ancestry I have a personal story to share:
At school we are usually told that we all have some sort of basic Portuguese, African and native American ancestry and that's that. I always wondered if that was the case with me, since both my last names are of Portuguese origin and are fairly common in both Brazil and Portugal, so I kind of went along with the whole Portuguese-African-Native american ancestry story and didn't think too much about it for a good portion of my life.
Now, over the past few years, I've become much more interested in researching my ancestry, since I found out that on my father's birth certificate (who doesn't look Portuguese or African or Native American at all) had his grandparents name registered as well, which were of a very different language from Portuguese and I couldn't figure out where it was from.
That led me into starting my research and trying to find as much information as I could. Eventually, I got lucky and I managed to find some records of my great-great-grandfather's history in Brazil.
So, in the year 1900, my great-great-grandfather entered Brazil through the Port of Santos. On the passenger's list, his nationality was listed as "Austrian", but back then, that would mean he was from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, so he could have been from pretty much anywhere in there, not specifically from the modern region of Austria.
After a long period of research I eventually found out that he came from the western part of modern Austria and instead of settling in the south of Brazil, he had intended to work in coffee plantations in the west of São Paulo state. That led him to eventually buy land in Minas Gerais a few years after his arrival in Brazil and settle there, which was where he raised his family, including my great grandfather, who, by some unknown reason didn't pass along his last name to my grandfather and so on.
I found out that I had a lot of cousins and great-uncles who actually still live in that region of Minas Gerais and it was such an interesting research for me. I managed to reach out to them and we are still in touch, but that branch of the family still carries the last name, Babos, which is of Hungarian origin, but some of them settled in modern day Austria and some of them, like my great great grandfather, emmigrated to Brazil.
I know it was a bit of a long text, but it's so interesting to see new things about my country and a somewhat "shared" ancestry, especially by the eyes of a foreigner.
Either way, I absolutely loved your video and wish all the best to you and the Austrian community in Treze Tílias.
Um abraço e sucesso ao seu canal!
Thank you very much. Interesting to find out about that kind of stuff.
It's really a part of Brazil that not many foreigners know about and I felt like it hadn't been done justice thus I set out to start this channel to document places like these.
Not only in Brazil but Brazil is so diverse with so many stories to tell things to show places to visit I ended up filming a lot there and I'm still working on more that I hope will come out soon.
@@LewisWirth awesome, man! Keep up the great work.
Cheers! Abraços e sucesso!

Cara, se for do seu interesse, que eu saiba você pode acrescentar sobrenomes de parentes diretos que não foram passados pra você.
@@pabloagfs opa, tudo bem?
Então, eu cheguei a dar uma olhada durante essa minha pesquisa e parece que isso entrou em vigor recentemente, em 2022. Justamente nesse ano eu saí do Brasil, então acabou que eu não tinha feito planos para fazer essa mudança.
Eu já pensei em fazer, mas aparentemente tem que comunicar essa alteração a todos os outros órgãos (secretaria de segurança pública, tribunal eleitoral, receita federal, etc.), além de ter que fazer a mudança em bancos, instituições de ensino para constar o novo sobrenome no diploma, ou seja, acaba sendo um esforço muito grande.
Eu gostaria muito de fazer essa mudança (apesar de minha esposa e minha mãe não acharem uma boa ideia kkkk), mas ainda não decidi realmente se vou seguir por esse caminho, ainda mais com essa burocracia e por eu não mais residir no Brasil.
Mesmo assim, agradeço o seu comentário e recomendação.
Abraços!
At 6:45, the birds aren't Emus, they are Emas (Rhea americana); which are distantly related to Emus, and are native to Brazil
Yeah thanks. Some other people told me the same in their comments. So I looked it up and came to the same conclusion
Hey, Lewis!! You should visit the Italian part of the colonization in southern Brazil. Especially in the southern region of Santa Catarina and in the north of Rio Grande do Sul. An interesting city that preserves a historical center is Nova Veneza. The city is known for its Italian cuisine. You will also find descendants who speak Italian and preserve their culture very well.
Fun fact, I actually already did. But I have such a mountain of editing work and I've been filming some other videos too so I haven't had the time to even start editing that project and yes it includes Nova Veneza and a bunch more. But the same goes for the German towns like Pomerode and a few more. But thank you for the suggestion it's good to hear because this indicates that I wasn't wrong to travel all over Rio grande do sul and parts of Santa Catarina with flooded roads road closures and lots of rain for nothing.
Thank you for your comment
Thank you for your visit and this video, as a Brazilian I am glad you are showing and experiencing the real Brazil.
I used to play at Tirolefest years ago and I fell in love with this city
12:05 that "big company" is also called "Tirol" and its used all across southern brazil lol, also great video btw, southern brazil truly is beautiful, and although there are of course bad parts (its brazil what do you expect) its definetely much better off than the rest of the country, especially in Santa Catarina
Ohhh hahaha I’ve consumed so many more it’s from that company 😂
18:07 that door is for moving the pigs. the livestock trucks will back out touching that little concrete ramp so the pigs can be loaded onto the trucks.
great video. that little town looks lovely.
Thanks for the info, makes sense.
I'm glad you liked my video hope you might like some of the other ones too
16:58 I stayed in that building in front of the cow monument with my parents when we visited treze tílias. It’s a really cozy hostel, the older lady that manages it is super sweet, the price is also very reasonable.
Oh what was the price do you remember? I had a hard time finding a reasonably priced place when I was there
@@LewisWirth it was over 2 years ago so I don’t really remember the price, but it was cheaper than all hotels around the area. The name of the place is “Hospedaria da Cecília Moser” if you put it on google maps you can get her WhatsApp and she would give you prices. It’s not luxurious but it’s very clean and feels very homey. It’s an apartment style hostel so you have a small living room, kitchen and bedroom.
NO WAY! THATS SO COOL!! OBRIGADA POR MOSTRAR ESSE PAIS PARA TODOS DESSE CHAT!🇧🇷🇧🇷🔥🔥

Se puder, vai para Indaial e grava um vídeo com o @indavirus e sua turma. Seria muito divertido.
My surnames are “Kruger Prusch”, Kruger being a classic German last name and Prusch being originated from Prussian roots, mixed German and Polish. I currently live in Novo Hamburgo (New Hamburg) in Rio Grande do Sul.
I didn’t even know about this city, isn’t it crazy that I needed a dutch to present me this city from Brazil not too far from me? Lol.
I don’t speak German unfortunately, maybe I’ll learn some day. There are many other cities that you will want to visit, specially the dutch-inspired (and colonized) ones, I’m sure you will like the experience.
Near my town we have “Zaandam” which has some Dutch roots and architecture, in Paraná the teo most famous are Carambei and Holambra.
Also, we have lots of German and Italian colonies here down south, Gramado, Canela, Bento Gonçalves are great ones to visit.
Subscribed! Gonna check your other videos (maybe you have gone to these already?).
Cheers
I've been to Carambei Castro and Holambra and I visited a bunch of the Italian and German ones too. which shows that I've got a lot of editing work to be done
@@LewisWirthyou are going to find more Dutch inspired architecture in the Northeastern regions of Brazil
@@SovietBear4 Yeah though from what I heard some architecture would be pretty much all there is to find thus I didn't find it worth the great expense
South of Brazil had a strong settlement colonization of europeans around XIX sec. As was a recent part of our history there are still many cultural aspects like buildings, dialects, foods and habits. The further inland you go the more you gonna find these strong influences. Im from Santa Catarina’s offshore, but people from countryside have big proud about their ancestors and culture. Brazil has a mix of cultures around the country, we say there are many Brazils in Brazil
You should check out the southernmost state of Brazil, it possesses even more Italian, Austrian, and German influence!
I am from Padova and always feel at home there.
I did visit Rio grande do sul actually and I finished one video that I made there during the floods or well the later stages there off. And the video about Italian culture there is coming up too but first another German one and it’ll take quite some time to edit
it's funny because I'm brazilian and I wasn't aware of this place. maybe I can visit it in the future. I was looking for places to travel here in my country. Thank you for showing me this!
as pessoas parecem tão simpáticas.
10:58 Alles Klar, Herr Kommissar is a reference to the song Falco - Kommissar. Falco was a legendary Austrian Musician.
Yeah I wasn’t sure how to translate it because it doesn’t quite translate directly into English. Haven’t heard of that song though
This state Santa Catarina is the safest ever, without any problems I can say that it is safer than most of Europe, I encourage you guys to come with no fear
Idk about saver then Europe. Maybe saver then some major cities sure. It is the safest state in the country though I think. Or Togo grande do sul
@ Yeah. Santa Catarina is the safest state (yet).
Very nice for a change! Everybody thinks of Brazil as carnaval and Amazon and we are so much more than that! Thank you!
It really is! Thanks for watching hope you liked some of the other videos too
This is a good argument! Why the south of Brazil is not known ?
You seem like a good guy plus you look nice, Lewis.
I bet you got a lot of attention in Brazil.
Greetings from a Brazilian woman living in Portugal 😉
Have a nice trip in the south, wish you the best!
