Fun-fact: I saw ALL those places in real-life! I traveld and visited it and even more in the last 40 years! Some amazing spots of Germany are missing!

Hi, just for imagination: Germany is about half the size of Texas and fits in USoA 28 times. About one third is forrest, one third is agriculture and farming. The last third is where 83 M (one quarter of the US population!) people live and work. So all you`ve seen and much much more (e.g. 25000! castles and ruins, 14000 gas stations lol, 400 zoos) is built in that space. It's like a miniature world in comparison. There`s a newer, better version of the video. Thank you for this nice reaction, keep up the good work!
About Freudenberg, search for images of "Freudenberg Alter Flecken", this old center of the town looks unreal. The few seconds in this video have shown only a part, but it only works as a whole - more than 80 half-timbered houses, all in black and white, almost all with the same orientation!
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by.
2:44 Wow? This is the government building of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. 3:52 This is Arminius or Herrmann the Cheruscan. He is considered the "founder" of the German nation because he defeated the Romans in 9 AD and Germania thus did not become part of the Roman Empire.
At 3:58 it is the Hermannsdenkmal (engl: Herman monument). Herman and the Cheruscans had beaten the Romans some two thousand years ago in this area near Detmold.
Proud to be German, over 2000 years of history and responsible for the biggest / most inventions in the world. 3:51 In Germany, the figure of Hermann the Cherusci, based on Arminius as a historical person, became a national mythical and symbolic figure from the second half of the 18th century and part of the German founding myth. Most of Disney's stories have German origins and the English language is based on German (Germanic). The world owes us more than it wants to be true. Preserving traditions, Germany is more than an annoying memory.
@@TallisKeeton Exactly, he led his own tribe the Cherusci, together with the Bructeri, Chatti, Chauci, Angrivarii, Marsi and maybe others (who knows exactly ?) into battle against the 17th, 18th and 19th Roman legions....the rest is history. Greetings, my family is partly from Namslau/Namysłów, went off to Berlin in the 1850s.....
@@theoderich1168 Hi :) Namysłów is 30 km from my town Olesnica - Oels. :) But my family come here from Krakaw just after II WW, and also from Lviv due to resettlements of Polish people from east to west when the territories of Lviv went into CCCP.
@@feifei9697 the feeling is mutual :) I always try to differentiate between culture and similarities and common interests between nations - esp neighbouring - and big politics esp. global - which usualy divide us so much. Its sad. :( In recent years I have opinon that its not nations as themselves who want to fight but big interests and ideologies were developed by global powers who want to divide us.
At 2:15 it is the so called Siegessäule (engl: victory column) in Berlin. It is a national monument since 1873. People in Berlin call it "Golden Else".
Your questions, here are the answers: 2:14 Siegessäule = Victory Column 3:50 Hermannsdenkmal, this is where the Romans were crushed when they tried to conquer Germany 5:10 Mainz, this is where the first Bible in the world was printed and the mRNA corona vaccine was developed, which is sold worldwide as the Pfizer vaccine (German patent). 5:46 Dresden, Florence on the Elbe River (Florence is a beautiful city in Italy) 6:14 ...most of all castles and palaces in Europe are in Germany 6:37 this is Munich 6:50 Munich City Hall 7:10 Kyffhäuser Monument, Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, Emperor Wilhelm monument 7:34 Elbe Philharmonic Hall Hamburg 7:47 Otto von Bismarck monument. He created the 1st German Reich, the first German Empire 9:16 Wadden Sea '/ mud flat 10:07 Aachen - you didn't ask, but was the seat of Charlemagne 10:48 there are more than 25,000 castles, some are castle ruins that you can still visit. 10:55 Bonn was the capital of West Germany and is the birthplace of Beethoven and HARIBO gummy bears :-) 12:25 Ludwigsburg Residential Palace, one of the largest baroque palace complexes in Germany 12:35 Wartburg, this is where Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin into German, from where it was later translated into English, but the USA didn't exist then. 12:58 Eltz Castle, one of the three most outstanding castles you must see (1. Neu Schwanstein Castle, 2. Hohenzollern Castle and 3. Eltz Castle), with the Moritzburg or the Castle in Schwerin and many many other castles in Germany also being enchanting.
Bismarck did not create the 1st German Reich, the first German Empire. This was the second one, not the first one. In short: 1st German Reich/Empire = Holy Roman Empire 962 - 1806 2nd German Reich/Empire = Bismarcks Empire 1871 - 1918 (WW1) 3rd German Reich/Empire = The Dark Empire with the angry moustache guy in charge 1933 - 1945 (WW2) Also France claims to have more castles and palaces (40.000 - 45.000) than Germany. Saying "most of all castles and palaces in Europe are in Germany" is quite an exaggeration, even without taking France in consideration. But yes, Germany has a lot of them and definitely many really beautiful ones.
It was probably mentioned before but the fact that the cathedral in Cologne took 632 years to be built still blows my mind...talking about the buildings being "thousands of years old"...not just that but almost took them 1000 years to build one!
The houses with the red roofs are the medieval city center that have been restored so faithfully and are also inhabited. But most cities are of course much larger than the old city core. I have now watched several reaction videos most it is not even clear what all this is and how old these buildings are partly.
3:50 you see the Hermanns Denkmal - The German Statue of Liberty ! The Hermann Monument commemorates the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD and was completed in 1875 by Ernst von Bandel. The statue is older than the American Statue of Liberty. With a figure height of 26.57 metres and a total height of 53.56 metres, it is the tallest statue in Germany. In the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, the Germanic tribes defeated the Roman legions who were trying to conquer Germania.
14:00 I'm in Augsburg, founded in 15 B.C. The oldest social housing project in the world, the "Fuggerei", celebrates its 500th anniversary this year! Warm regards!
@@nettcologne9186 The Fuggers (and a few other families in Augsburg) got insanely rich in the Renaissance era (16th century), when Jacob Fugger borrowed money to the Emperor in exchange for long-term copper and silver mining rights in Tyrol and Hungary. Later they bribed the prince-electors of the Holy Roman Empire to favor their candidate for the the Emperor. Jacob Fugger was one of the richest men in history. They founded a bank that still exists after 500 years and is located in his palace in Augsburg. His descendants still live there, too. Another rich family in Augsburg, the Welser family, owned even the whole country of Venezuela in South America for several decades! The Medici were a rich family in Florence, Italy, that is in a way comparable with the Fuggers, but they had political power as well, unlike the Fuggers. But for a deeper look into these matters I suggest you read the Wikipedia articles about them.
@@nettcologne9186 Here it is: The Fuggerei is the world's oldest public housing complex still in use. It is a walled enclave within the city of Augsburg, Bavaria. It takes its name from the Fugger family and was founded in 1516 by Jakob Fugger the Younger (known as "Jakob Fugger the Rich") as a place where the needy citizens of Augsburg could be housed. By 1523, 52 houses had been built, and in the coming years the area expanded with various streets, small squares and a church. The gates were locked at night, so the Fuggerei was, in its own right, very similar to a small independent medieval town. It is still inhabited today, affording it the status of being the oldest public housing project in the world. The rent was and still is one Rhenish gulden per year (equivalent to 0.88 euros), as well as to make three daily prayers for the current owners of the Fuggerei - the Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, and the Nicene Creed - and to work a part-time job in the community.[1] The conditions to live there remain the same as they were 500 years ago: one must have lived at least two years in Augsburg, be of the Catholic faith and have become indigent without debt. The five gates are still locked every day at 10 PM. Housing units in the area consist of 45 to 65 square metre (500-700 square foot) apartments, but because each unit has its own street entrance it simulates living in a house. There is no shared accommodation; each family has its own apartment, which includes a kitchen, a parlour, a bedroom and a tiny spare room, altogether totalling about 60 square metres. Ground-floor apartments all have a small garden and garden shed, while upper-floor apartments have an attic. All apartments have modern conveniences such as television and running water. One ground-floor apartment is uninhabited, serving as a museum open to the public. The doorbells have elaborate shapes, each being unique, dating back to before the installation of streetlights when residents could identify their door by feeling the handle in the dark.[2] The Fugger family initially established their wealth in weaving and merchandising. Jakob the Rich expanded their interests into silver mining and trading with Venice. Additionally he was a financier and counted the Vatican as a notable client. The family became financial backers of the Habsburg family, and he financed the successful election of Charles V as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1519.[2] The Fuggerei was first built between 1514 and 1523 under the supervision of the architect Thomas Krebs, and in 1582, Hans Holl added St. Mark's Church to the settlement. Expanded further in 1880 and 1938, the Fuggerei today comprises 67 houses with 147 apartments, a well and an administrative building. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's great-grandfather, the mason Franz Mozart, lived in the Fuggerei between 1681 and 1694 and is commemorated today by a stone plaque. The Fuggerei was heavily damaged by the bombings of Augsburg during World War II but has been rebuilt in its original style. The Fuggerei is supported by a charitable trust established in 1520 which Jakob Fugger funded with an initial deposit of 10,000 guilders.[2] According to the Wall Street Journal, the trust has been carefully managed with most of its income coming from forestry holdings, which the Fugger family favoured since the 17th century after losing money on higher yielding investments. The annual return on the trust has ranged from an after-inflation rate of 0.5% to 2%. The Fugger family foundation is currently headed by Maria-Elisabeth Gräfin Thun-Fugger, née Gräfin Fugger von Kirchberg, who lives at Kirchberg Castle. Other member of the foundations's board are Alexander Graf Fugger-Babenhausen and Maria-Theresia Gräfin Fugger-Glött. All three still existing branches of the Fugger family are thus represented.[3] The trust is administered by Wolf-Dietrich Graf von Hundt.[2] As of 2020, the fee for a tour into the Fuggerei is 6.50 euro, over seven times the annual rent.[4] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuggerei
Here's a little fun fact for you because you said the buildings are thousands of years old: Just in order to build the dome in cologne (Kölner Dom (famous church)) it took 632 years!!! Just to build it! Imagine that! Also you definitely have to check out Bavaria, it's definitely the most beautiful state in Germany as far as nature goes! You got, the most famous castles, the huge mountains in the alps, insane lakes. And also Munich which is not just home of the Oktoberfest which attracts millions of people every year but also its home of one of the 3 best and most successful football (soccer) clubs in the world, FC Bayern Munich. Also the rest of Germany got a lot to offer but Bavaria stands out with its nature.
Others already pointed out the places, that you've asked for. But as a general hint for this video: if there is no caption for specific scenes in this video, that means, that the scene is still from the general area of the last caption, that you saw. For example: the captions say "München" (which is Munich in English), and then other scenes follow without showing you a new caption, than these scenes are still places in Munich as well.
If I were watching this video alongside you, I would gladly help out with the German grammar as German is my 2nd language, and point out city names like München = Munich or Köln = Cologne.
You have to realise, that the american history is less than 300years old, but europes is more than 3000(!) years old! (Not talking about American Natives)
Lol When i first saw that vid i was gonna comment that they scammed us and didnt put Karlsruhe in at all, but then they put it as the literal last city they showed 🙃 Fantstic city 🥰
When will you say " Deutschland " ????? LOLOL instead of GERMANY . Take a Rhein River cruse and you can see castles on both sides and so so pretty. Makes you wonder how they got all the material up that steep hill/ mountain !
😂😂😂 do you know, where Germany is on this earth? Yes, third street to Russia right side 😂😂😂 The Amis themself have a tiny knowledge about there own country, but looking to us.
Well... Let me this put in the right place for you. If you wanna visit, every day a other castle in Germany, than you need for this nearly 55 years. Isn't that not enough? But we still countin'...
You are wrong. It is. Frankfurt has many, many spots and places beside the skyline wich are awesome great and lovely. I’ve lived in Frankfurt 20 years and it takes a while to know all these spots.
How pathetic, the only excitement came with Frankfurt because that is the only German city that has a skyline like American cities. For all other beauties one has no eye. Well, it's clear, America first, isn't it?

Here's a little fun fact for you because you said the buildings are thousands of years old: Just in order to build the dome in cologne (Kölner Dom (famous church)) it took 632 years!!! Just to build it! Imagine that! Also you definitely have to check out Bavaria, it's definitely the most beautiful state in Germany as far as nature goes! You got, the most famous castles, the huge mountains in the alps, insane lakes. And also Munich which is not just home of the Oktoberfest which attracts millions of people every year but also its home of one of the 3 best and most successful football (soccer) clubs in the world, FC Bayern Munich. Also the rest of Germany got a lot to offer but Bavaria stands out with its nature.

That is the victory column in Berlin, my buddy!
Greetings from Frankfurt 😃
Let´s not forget the Walhalla near Regensburg with an phenomenal view over the danube plain ^^
Others already pointed out the places, that you've asked for. But as a general hint for this video: if there is no caption for specific scenes in this video, that means, that the scene is still from the general area of the last caption, that you saw. For example: the captions say "München" (which is Munich in English), and then other scenes follow without showing you a new caption, than these scenes are still places in Munich as well.
Castels older than America 😊
Germany has around 25,000 castles, palaces and fortresses..almost every 15-25 miles there is one...

If I were watching this video alongside you, I would gladly help out with the German grammar as German is my 2nd language, and point out city names like München = Munich or Köln = Cologne.
5:56 that was all Dresden.
Minute 3:30 Lübeck, baby! The Queen of the hanseatic League and the beuty of the Baltic! Okay, ther is more beuty here: Rostock, and so on...

Pro tipp when it comes to pronounciation of German words: the Germans value all their vowels (well, mostly that is.)
Come to ludwigshafen! 😍

When i first saw that vid i was gonna comment that they scammed us and didnt put Karlsruhe in at all, but then they put it as the literal last city they showed 🙃
Fantstic city 🥰
The city of Karlsruhe, founded by Karl Wilhelm with its 32 fan rays, also served as a template for the US capital Washington D.C.
Oh, this is what Jordan Peterson was meant by "stagering beauty of Europe" :)
Most of what you saw in this video was completely destroyed at the end of World War 2 and has been rebuilt over the decades.
Sadly 99% of my home city Kiel was bombed by the Allies
When will you say " Deutschland " ????? LOLOL instead of GERMANY . Take a Rhein River cruse and you can see castles on both sides and so so pretty. Makes you wonder how they got all the material up that steep hill/ mountain !
I am a German
😂😂😂 do you know, where Germany is on this earth? Yes, third street to Russia right side 😂😂😂
The Amis themself have a tiny knowledge about there own country, but looking to us.

Well... Let me this put in the right place for you. If you wanna visit, every day a other castle in Germany, than you need for this nearly 55 years. Isn't that not enough? But we still countin'...

Frankfurt isn't that impressive, besides the skyline.
You are wrong. It is. Frankfurt has many, many spots and places beside the skyline wich are awesome great and lovely.
I’ve lived in Frankfurt 20 years and it takes a while to know all these spots.
How pathetic, the only excitement came with Frankfurt because that is the only German city that has a skyline like American cities.
For all other beauties one has no eye.
Well, it's clear, America first, isn't it?
Für euch ist das Märchenland, ihr Amis! Muahahahaaaahahahaaaa
