A few hours from Berlin there is Dresden and Leipzig which are also on the channel and worth a visit. Or you can even go East to Poznan in Poland... Thanks for watching!
I greet you, Daniel. Thank you for touring around another city. There are amazing surprises in every city: 29:15 the rest of the Berlin Wall, 34:32 something from shoes : )
You are right - Essen isn't a tourist destination in Germany. I was also surprised about the Berlin Wall pieces and those hanging shoes... The Ruhrgebiet is the most densely populated area with many industrial cities merged together. It's different to the northern / southern big cities like Hamburg and Munich
Die Essener Innenstadt sieht (mittlerweile) echt Trostlos aus. Kein guter Mix zwischen Handel und Gastronomie, wenig Sitzmöglichkeiten sowie Aufenthaltsqualität. Man sieht so gut wie nur noch Standard-Läden, Billigketten und kleine Inhabergeführte Läden. All das wird auch durch die vielen Leerstände sichtbar.
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
it is very gray, full of drug addicts, abandoned parking lots with homeless people. People walking around simply don´t care about themselves and it makes the city look even uglier. Nothing to do/go out on the weekends (at least in the city center) Not many good places to eat. I have been there several times the past two years for work, and it´s only my honest experience so far. I could not live there longer than a month
well, the good thing is that is close to other cities, like Düsseldorf or Cologne. You get a Semester Ticket from the Uni to travel for free. Also, there most be nicer parts outside the city center. I think Rüttenscheid could be an option@@asanmal-f2h
Viele Orte, wie Essen hier, besuche ich nur für dass Video. An dem Tag war ich vorher in Dortmund und danach in Bochum - also 3 Videos an diesem Tag. Dabei verpasse ich sicherlich so manche interessante Straße aber in der Masse habe ich viele Videos - über 160 derzeit aus Deutschland alleine
There is virtually not one street or location in this video that I wouldn´t know, having walked on them myself numerous times. Peculiar experience to see them now, many decades later! How do you pick the cities that you feature on your channel? As you mentioned yourself, Essen isn`t a tourists destination. Also ist a lot different in the southern part, like lake Baldeney. Thats where I actually grew up. We had a student from San Francisco living with us for one year via the AFS (American Field Service). Thats where my interest in the USA originated from. Do you travel all theese cities alone? Or with some company? Anyhow, I appreciate it very much to be able to take a look back at my hometown after all theese years!! Love! Michael
Back in September/October 2020 I traveled around Germany and went to many places I've never been like Essen here. I like traveling alone or also in company yet that extensive Germany trip was solo. Almost every day I was walking and recording videos which I enjoyed. The amount of walks would be tough for a partner 😎. On that day of this video I was in Dortmund, then Essen and finally Bochum. Because of up to 3 places per day it was interesting and also exercise as there wasn't much travel possible in 2020. Within a few weeks I saw more of Germany than ever before and have fond memories of that trip where I visited some 60 places. In 2019 I was traveling mostly around Europe and South East Asia... ( www.poptravel.org/videos/archives/ )I used to travel much slower before 2019 - these fast travels are fun in a different way...
In some cases I know the city from previous visits. Usually though I just start filming after arriving by train and then find my way through with Google Maps. Often when traveling I record multiple cities per day so I usually do a small preparation on my way to each place. That's why sometimes I walk "wrong" streets yet the walks give a good overall picture of each city - especially with the backstreets
Yes, and it also means simply "Food" in German. The name has a different origin though. Here's an article (in German) - maybe Google Translate makes a useful translation? www.derwesten.de/staedte/essen/warum-heisst-die-stadt-essen-eigentlich-essen-mit-leckerem-essen-hat-es-jedenfalls-nichts-zu-tun-id213126567.html
I'm using a DJI Osmo Pocket (1) and a Zoom H1 microphone for the audio on these walking videos. I'm still having a look at the DJI Pocket 2 yet I may wait for another generation with significantly better quality and HDR. I'd rather prefer to upgrade to 4K60 HDR which currently only the iPhone 12 Pro Max provides well enough - though with ugly lens flares and requiring an additional gimbal... Still happy with the Osmo Pocket 1

Nice walking tour, Essen seems mostly modern, slightly grey but have some nice churches and also life on the streets.
It might not be the most beautiful, but Essen is one of the most affordable big cities.
@@B0R0M1R it looks like a boring place to live, though. lol
@@jessedylan6162 Not really, you got Rüttenscheid and other Ruhr cities nearby to do stuff
@@shrgn It matters not because i won't be visiting there anyway. Have a great day/eve

Oh wow I didn't know there was a train station in the mall I never seen it . I seen essen so many time with other travelers
Love your perspective 🙂
Nice walk in Essen! 👍

its horrible, dont go
@thomr9399 what's horrible about it? Just curious

@thomr9399 thx for answer, going there for studying next year, don't have any other option, so even the city is ugly, will live there

Hast du vor dem Video eine Probefahrt zu den Orten gemacht, die du filmen willst?

Did you test drive to the places you want to film before the video?
In some cases I know the city from previous visits. Usually though I just start filming after arriving by train and then find my way through with Google Maps.

It's funny how a City can be named "Eating" 😅
Yes, and it also means simply "Food" in German. The name has a different origin though.

"Mitten in Europa" hätten die das nicht erwähnt hätte man auch auf andere Ideen kommen können 🤪
Is this Osmo Pocket or Osmo Pocket 2?
I'm using a DJI Osmo Pocket (1) and a Zoom H1 microphone for the audio on these walking videos.

Essen is one of the most destroyed cities in Germany, all the old splendors buildings are totally destroyed in WW2

There is a lot of muslims.Germany will be muslim country with there wrong politics.
