- A day in Hannover in the Größe Garten led me to think about the question..
HOW IS GERMANY SO GREEN? Any tourist that comes here always seems surprised and in awe of how lovely and lush German Nature is and just how intricate through all the towns and cities it really is.

Es macht stolz, wie Menschen aus der ganzen Welt unser Land sehen und ist beschämend, wie wenig wir selbst es schätzen.
Das empfinde ich genauso. Viele Deutsche motzen nur herum und wissen gar nicht, was sie alles an Deutschland haben. Ich liebe mein Heimatland und könnte mir kein Land vorstellen, wo ich lieber wohnen wollen würde. I´m proud to be german.
@@Elias-kj9rl und Arno Ihr habt beide recht, aber für uns ist es Alltag .
Blödsinn. Ich kenne jede Menge Deutsche, die ihr Land schön finden.
Ich sehe es genauso. Aber ich weiß das Deutschland das schönste und beste Land der Welt ist. (meiner Meinung nach) (No Front an andere Länder, auch sehr viele Andere schöne) ich liebe unsere Kultur. Ich liebe es wie andere Menschen aus anderen Ländern uns sehen,so viele Tolle und Nette Worte❤️. Ich liebe die Menschen, die Bundeswehr. Die Bundeswehr respektiere ich zu 1000% Ich liebe dieses Land und würde alles für es geben!❤️🙏🏻🇩🇪
@bademeister Geht's noch? Es ist doch eher umgekehrt, dass die Linksgerichteten mit den Begriffen "Heimat" und "Vaterland" nichts anfangen können. "Deutschland verrecke", "Deutschland, du mieses Stück Scheiße", "Nie wieder Deutschland" kommt bestimmt nicht von AfD-Anhängern.
Though Germany is one of the most densely populated countries in Europe, you never get a sense of being in an overcrowded place. Could be due to the leafage, but also good city planning.
Unless you head into a cultural and/or tourism hub like Berlin or middle of Frankfurt for example, you always seem to have enough of your own space 😁 love it 🥳🙏🏼👌🏼
That's not city planning, that's just how history has panned out there.
@@PuntingForThePeople Berlin is one of the greenest cities there is though. Just take a look on the map. Large portions of Berlin are covered with forests, lakes, waterways.
Also Berlin there are thousands upon thousands of trees in the streets. Berlin is really really green. In addition to that there are parks every few kilometers, the canals are lined with green walking ways and there is a huge tradition of garden colonies everywhere. It's a tradition kept from after WWII when food supply was short, the government leased small patches of land to the citizens to grow their own veggies. These still exist to this day. I have one across the street right from where I live. So I can step out of the door and enjoy rose gardens :-) Berlin gardeners seem to just love roses!
@@PuntingForThePeople Berlin has *exactly* 625.000 street trees according to Giessdenkiez.de ,that's pretty green.
Isn't Germany even the second most densely populated state World wide (second only to Japan)?
Germans love their trees and their forests. Try to cut down a tree (even in your own garden) and you'll have people banging down your door demanding you to stop. No joke! We feel very strongly about our trees.
well the main people knocking on the door is the police and your neighbours where the tree fell
@@timk8869 no it is a law. your are not allowed to cut a tree without permission even it is in your own garden. it could harm animals around. some people do it anyways and some call the police on them if they care about it.
A neighbor once screeched on and on about how we were so horrible to remove a certain plant ("Schmetterlingsflider") that butterflies like. It was old and barely had any buds left, each year it got less. So what did we do? Remove the old one and plant two new ones. But she kept screeching until we just ignored her. Man was she annoying.
Das kommt von unserem germanischen Erbe wir fühlen uns ohne Bäume nicht sicher 😂😂
@@laoge2370 bullshit, kannst Bäume umhauen in deinem Garten wie du willst, wenn du nicht grad in irgendeiner freakigen alte Leute Gartensparte bist.
Endlich mal jemand im Norden unterwegs und nicht in Bayern.
Is eh viel schöner bei euch da oben. Lg. aus dem Westen
@@RRinaxx geschmacksache ich finde es im süden schöner wegen den bergen. bin kein großer fan von flachland.
Hannover ist jetzt nicht wirklich Norddeutschland…
Europem in general is great because you can touch history.
That's something i also really like about Europe
I live in the oldest city in Germany (trier) and it's truly amazing that you can see what ancient Rome was like in every corner
I live in Germny too and yes it is amazing but they are destroying a lot too like the "Berliner Mauer" or in Duisburg the castle walls and towers.
Anime Zensur Worms dürfte mit dieser Einschätzung nicht einverstanden sein 😉
@@Sebastian-gb3hs I live near Regensburg - which is also quite old. And it's simply astonishing walking down the river Danube, below the cathedral and the bishops residence just to realise, the old blackened walls there are part of the roman castle that was there once. (and you can see even parts of the ancient Limes fortifications everywhere in town)

Yaa
Unser Gebiet :)
I felt home, the day I entered Germany! Its spectacular especially the region around black forest. While traveling, I get to know that germans love to decorate their houses with plantations.
I would totally watch a 10 minute video of unused B-roll footage with that calming music.
I'm with you on that. I mentioned that very thing to Jacob in another setting. We can both look forward to it.
yeah not one of these other videos where the music is too loud or unsuitable
what you can see today is build from us and our ancestors. It is a cultural landscape that has grown and managed over 2000 years. It is our german heritage.
Hopefully as Australia becomes older, we can take a note from that book, but I think we are already too young and too much of a modernised country to have any history to keep intact..
Fun facts about die Große Fontäne "Great Fountain" in Herrenhausen. Having a great fountain was very prestigious back in the days and it was very important for King George I. to have the 'biggest one' of all European monarchs. It was completed around the same time as the Dresdner Frauenkirche at pretty much the same costs and reached a height of 35 meters. Imagine spending that amount of money on a single fountain
I am very much impressed on how you really see and realize the beauty of the little, common, ordinary things around you, the "normal" things like blooming flowers, etc., every time I watch your videos. You do have an eye for the things that we don't see anymore in everyday life. And you are a great filmmaker, too. What a rare and highly gifted talent! Thanks for your videos and for all of these views on the beauty of this planet. And of course, thanks so much for letting us Germans being aware of living in such a beautiful country - many of us seem to forget it too often.
I really realised this when I traveled to New Zealand. Everything felt weirdly like it had no history. Obviously this isn't the case but it's a huge difference to wander between buildings and landscapes that have been around and/or overformed for hundreds of years or to see mostly houses that mostly where built within the last 100 years.
In terms of nature and wilderness yes, there is history, but in terms of “human history” it is something we are lacking, especially in Australia, considering some of the houses still around in Germany are older than my entire country, just leaves me amazed every time..
@@PuntingForThePeople
To be fair: there *is* very old "human history" in NZ and Australia, but the impact of Maori and Aborigines didn't turn out as terraforming as in Europe. But even this might be a misleading take, since we are just so used to *our* signs of history that we don't really notice the differences they caused to the nature. Considering that humans are living in Australia since 50k years it's probably safe to say that they changed it quite a bit before Europeans arrived.
Danke für die schönen Bilder und deine australische Sichtweise auf Deutschland. Als Eingebohrener vergisst man das oft oder übersieht es. 👍🏾😎
Yeah Hannover - my hometown! The große Garten is not the only green place in Hannover at all - beside that we also got the biggest so called city forrest in Europe; its called Eilenriede.
One little tip: "kleines Fest im großen Garten" - this is like a small festival which takes place in the großen Garten in mid summer. There are like a lot of artist, food and in the end a big firework.
Keep on your good work mate! Greetings from Hannover
biggest city forest in Europe? Where did you pick up that Information? Because at 640ha it's little more than 1/10 of the Dresdner Heide, which is only "one of the largest city forests in Germany" (not even THE largest)
very nice video, you have a good eye for the beautiful details, thumbs up!
That's one of the things I like so much about Jacob's work.
Deine Videos sind so wunderschön, deshalb empfehle ich sie weiter!
Come too Kassel we have the Bergpark ( Weltkulturerbe) . Herkules and the Löwenburg.
i love kassel :)
The Wasserspiele im Bergpark (water show) is fantastic!
I´ve been there and I loved that place!
Hessen is awfully lovely anyhows!
Danke für den Kommentar, sonst hätte ich den Bergpark empfohlen. Aber nicht nur der Bergpark sowie die Löwenburg sind super schön, auch die Karlsaue hat was 😊 👍
Ich liebe meine Heimat 🥰 KASSEL!!!!
Thank you for the well-made poetic pictures.
Hey Jacob! I'm new to your channel and wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your video very much. German is very green and very beautiful indeed. You have done a fantastic job capturing this lovely garten in your video. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
My son has always had a fascination for all things German. His enthusiasm led us to take out first trip from the USA to Germany in 2015. Since that trip we have made 2 more trips and with any luck will make another in 2021. It is safe to say that we have all become fascinated with this country. My personal goal would be to some day have the opportunity to stay for longer than a couple weeks... maybe a few months... so you can imagine how envious I am of those of you have been given the chance to live there on an even more permanent basis.
… so nice, so lovley to see an Australien giving respect and owner to german culture. So Beautiful.. thanks
I am glad that you like it here. In fact...
- Germany has been green as long as I can remember. In dry summers farmers would water their fields; drought compensation for crops was unheard of. When water started to cost something they stopped watering in summer... and for a while everything was swell. Later compensation would become more interesting than actually saving crops.
- The air is far cleaner nowadays than it was 30 years ago, fewer factories and cleaner energy (and by cleaner energy I mean better air filtered oil and gas - because 30 years ago coal and wood was still used en masse out here in suburbia). But go ask a millennial activist about it and they will talk one to death about their fears of pollution.
- That said, it also used to be virtually litter-free as well when I was still a kid. That was even before recycling became a thing: Nothing to do with plastics, we had those too and plenty of. The reason is far, far more simple: We just didn't throw our garbage onto the ground like people nowadays. Trash went into the bin, organic waste onto the farmers dung heap. And littering was considered un-German if there is a word for it. I am not sure if folks nowadays consider that borderline racist - but it is true and it worked. Germany was clean and has been clean because we care! And the sombre picture that millennial activists are drawing about the past, the present and the future has - luckily enough - nothing at all to do with reality. Enjoy the green!
Thank YOU, Jacob ~ I'm loving your videos !!! Always SO interesting, keep 'em coming !!!
Moin ihr beiden, sehr schönes Video mit passender, ruhiger Musik.
Schöne Pfingsten euch
Huhu 😀
Euch auch schöne Pfingsten.
Ja, das Video ist sehr schön.
Ich war mal als Kind da, aber da war das Wetter nicht so schön.
Und jetzt hellt doch jede Biene und Blüte den Alltag auf 🍀🐝🌻
@Margret Blaswich
Huhu, hab's grad erst durch Zufall gesehen, dass du geantwortet hast. im Moment klappt's bei YT irgendwie nicht wirklich mit den Push-Benachrichtigungen.
Pfingsten ist gestern wortwörtlich in Wasser gefallen.
Warmwassertherme im Keller durchgerostet! Mussten mid. 40 Eimer Wasser raufschleppen! Kann die Wörter 'Eimer' und 'Kellertreppe' nicht mehr hören! Hab einen solchen Muskelkater in den Rückenmuskeln, dass ich kaum voll durchatmen kann..
Zum Glück kam unser Heizungsmann gleich, hat die Therme vom Rohrsystem genommen, sodaß wir wenigstens Kaltwasser haben.
Tja, eigentlich wollten wir den Termin für die längst überfällige, neue Heizung selbst bestimmen! XD Nun haben wir, wenn die Bank mitspielt, am next Wochenende eine kompl. neue Heizungsanlage.
Drück uns mal die Daumen!
Schönen Restfeiertag dir und den Deinen
LG Ben
I was studying in the University close to the Herrenhäuser Garten. It was always nice to sit there or walk through it and relax. Thank you for making the video.
Beautiful gardens, older structures, and nature. You do a great job of filming nature, wildlife and scenery.
honor the past is our way to show respect to every good and bad happening. because we're not only learning from doing new things. we mostly learn from our part. it teaches us so so many things on seeing the world. like every century has its own kind of art or style, his own part you feel ashamed for. but to not repeat those mistakes again it is very important to honor the past.
our way to honow the nature is our way to stay grounded. we are an industrial country with lots of inventions through the time, but we keep reminding that all of this has its origin in nature and what nature is giving and showing us.
thank you so much for enjoying my home so much. I love germany for the green areas with their random colorful pointings made of flowers in there.
This is so beautiful and brightened up my day. Thank you so much for sharing
I really like your words about nature! 🌳
Well, you did not have aristocracy. These are the old royal gardens that are now open to the public. Awesome photography!
Now i found your new day job, become a gold statue :) thanks for the shoutout :)
we germans are very proud of our green landscpae and try to preserve itm if you have the chance to visit sansoucci in potsdam then you will have another great experience
Naja die meisten Deutschen sind irgendwie gar nicht stolz und schätzen sowas auch kaum Wert. Echt schade
@@SirChokk formulieren wir es anders:Jeder der nen bissle Grips besitzt und drei hirnzellen mehr als ne Kuh hat weiß es zu schätzen. Ich freu mich immer wenn ich durch die Stadt laufe und die ganzen schönen Grünflächen sehe
@@SirChokk Das liegt daran weil man dann schon als "Rechter" gilt.
Wow cool, Hannover, das ist ja gleich um die Ecke bei mir 😂
I live in the southeast of Bavaria, and we have forests, partly privately owned, partly state-owned, but there's a simple rule: You can hike every forest as long as you don't do any damage. That means, do NOT use your mountain bike, do NOT make an illegal camp fire, and take your trash with you back home. I'm not sure about sh'tting behind trees, because animals do it, and, you and me baby we ain't nothing but mammals, you know the tune.
This spring even, when I walked a forest, I heard something from the underbrush, and there was a red fox walking alongside with me, and disappeared within two minutes.
I wish I'd be better at identifying birds by their songs, but I think I'd rather learn Italian.
that reminds me: People always talk about hiding *behind* a tree - but do you know how to find out where the back side of a tree is, as opposed to its front? It is where there is toilet paper lying on the ground...
@@peterkoller3761 After sh**** behind a tree and having cleaned yourself it is the least you can do to get a garbage bag and take the used paper with you. Shame on those who do not.
Have you been to Schwerin... there castle is soooo beautiful... visit it, its a must in the north :)
From Schwerin eastward to Neubrandenburg, through the Lakes of Mecklenburg. Or, in the evening, the other way around.
Thanks, Jacob, for showing everyone, including us Germans, how to look for the beauty in everyday occurences all around Germany.
I fear we Germans don't appreciate everything that surrounds us enough.
Great video again, nice detail and landscape shots as always. Keep 'em coming.
Most cities have a Grosser Garten that had been the capital of a kingdom or contained a reporesentative "Schloss".
Nice to see someone from the neibourhood of Hildesheim make a nice vlog. I used to live there, live now in Rotterdam (and can totally confirm about cultural awareness what you said in the "where germany has changed me" video.
Very nice channel.
Beautiful. Huge garden. Very nice.
:32 - bringing the background into focus
1:40 bringing the fountain into focus, and following that up with a rank of other fountains
1:57 - this little gem nestled between shots of wider vistas; I wonder if anyone else would have shown this
2:07 - Mariann waving regally to her subjects
3:21 - beauty in the motion of green pond scum next to the solid stonework
5:21 - the bee at work
5:46 - the thorns, the thorns; look at the contrast of color between them and the stalk they're on; the red rose is just a fillip of bright color next to them, try desperately to distract...but failing
5:41 and 5:52 - linking the red rose seen from two angles
7:08 - the water cascade bringing the stonework to life
7:12 - not the flower itself, but the contrast between it and the buds of its sisters
8:03 - small, lonely pebbles being amassed as our eyes follow the vista to the sky
8:06 - the simple branch, before you refocus
9:08 - the close up rush of the water; the passing of time
9:28 - thanks for what I am guessing is a close up of the detail of the scene shown at 7:08
B roll is the not proper term for what you manage to do in those little scenes.
Agreed; Jacob's talent for camera-work is screaming obvious !
I just cant't get my head around his choice of shoes on that day with respect for things of visual formality and beauty....!?
@@palomino73 Jacob wore shoes? I never noticed.
@@mojojim6458 PUMA Badeschlappen (bathing-slides) - the next closest thing to going barefoot to such a place...
The _Herrenhäuser Gärten_ (the "äu" is pronounced something like "oy" as in "joy" - you asked for it! 😉 ) is but one part of a giant green band which is a major part of Hannover: the garden itself, together with the _Berggarten_ , continues into the _Georgengarten_ , which again meanders into the _Eilenriede_ , which is close to the _Maschsee_ and the _Ricklinger Seen_ . There are not many large cities with that much green as Hannover in Germany.
Another fun fact: there are three large baroque gardens in Europe, Herrenhäuser Gärten is one of them. The other two are Versailles near Paris and Sanssouci in Potsdam near Berlin.
Aaachtung... - Lern-Gefahr !!!
What about Schönbrunn near Wien/Vienna?
I was going to reply something along those lines - but you beat me to it. More authentic and exotic nature in the Berggarten, yet more native local nature in the Eilenriede forest and surrounding natural areas that include many native Central and Northen European orchid species.
@@oldnordy2665 Actually, my wife is one of the gardeners who take care of all the orchids - for more than 30 years now. This is the largest orchid collection in Europe, btw.
Jacob, you did a great job here!😊
Beautiful pictures that fit well to the music and perfect timing. Really enjoyed this one!
Greetings to Marianne - the curly hair looks lovely.
M m-m-m LOL I finally caught up with you.
@@mojojim6458 😄
In the Town Essen we got the "GRUGA" 100thousends of beautiful flowers, green, water, a Tram!
If you come to Essen, spend time in it and see with big eyes this wonderful park!
Ja, wir haben es wirklich schön. Nehmen es aber zu oft als gegeben hin. Danke für den Anstoß es nochmal neu anzusehen. Und Ihr, in Deine Videos hinein gemalt, macht es noch mal so schön :)
There are two reasons why German cities are so green. 1. It once was divided into many small countries and their royals and nobles wanted to have representative gardens. These were private property outside the cities! Only during the past 150-200 years they were swallowed by growing cities and became accessible for the public. Großer Garten is one of them.
2. Germany's population numbers stagnated from medieval times until 19th century, so the infrastructure was medieval as well. It started to grow rapidly in the 19th century and so did the cities. This was the time of the German new humanism and city planers took it's values into account. They didn't just "build it where it fits", they included public parks nearby, wide streets with trees and allotments that you now find surrounded by the cities.
As well as that, nearly 90% of Hannover was destroyed in World War II and when it was rebuilt they obviously had the opportunity to completely redesign it with a lot of green in mind
No man. Germans used a lot of wood (medieval style living btw). Trees and forests nearly became extinct. So in the 18th or 17th century they passed a law to protect forests and trees and to promote sustainable wood usage. Since they knew the importance of forests and parks they tried to include it into their cities as well.
Fun Fact: After WW2 West Berlin was sustained for quite some time by "airsupport" (Luftbrücke)(planes delivered food and clothes and so on) and one of those planes transported a bunch of trees or tree seeds. Can you imagine? People were starving and they delivered trees! And many of those trees delivered by plane you can see today in Tiergarten if I am not mistaken.
Next time you can Go to „Eilenriede“ in Hannover. It‘s another green Place and it‘s different, behause it‘s like a forest. You will love ist too.
Thank you for spreading some love for the beautiful nature! I always am happy to see others appreciating it too.
Great vlog, Jacob! 😀
I lived in Kassel. Not the greatest town but it have a amazing Naturpark. How nice it is I realized when I visited London and saw the parks there.
Good job, well done. I like your style. Pls continue.
Both names are correct "Herrenhäuser Gärten"/Herrenhausen Gardens are all gardens together. You were in one of these 4, actually 5, gardens. The "Großer Garten" is the garden you were in. Opposite, on the other side of the street and the castle is the "Berggarten", the botanical garden of Hanover, with one of the royal family's mausoleums. Then there is the "Georgengarten" with the magnificent avenue in english style, and at the end of it, at the university / Welfenschloss there is also the Welfengarten. This was actually in two parts. The eastern part was called "Welfengarten" and the western part was called "Prinzengarten".
i am living really close to this garten, but wasn't there a very very long time. I should go for a visit this summer. If you want to see some very rare nature, look for "Süntelbuchen" for example the "Süntelbuchenallee" in "Bad Nenndorf" :) Whish you a good time in germany
Ein wunderschönes Video, vielen Dank dafür. Es ist bezeichnend, wie unberührt von vielen Dingen die Natur heutzutage in ihrer Schönheit weitergeht, ohne sich groß um uns Menschen zu kümmern ..... btw Woher stammt die tolle Musik? LG!
If you have the chance to come again to Hannover, then try to get a limited ticket for the "Kleines Fest im Großen Garten". Its a amazing festival. Just difficult to get a ticket...
Love your videos. It brings me part of my homeland. I love it so much. Keep them coming.
When I was 5 to 7 years old we lived in Hannover for two years because of my father working there for IBM and I remember Herrenhäuser Gärten! Thank you for the images how it looks today! Greetings from the south of germany!
I am glad you enjoyed it so much!
You should check out the Berggarten. It is in the opposite side of the street from the großer garten. (next to sea life)
It is more natural and they have a big big variety of flowers and everything. And also your entry ticket from the großer Garten is valid for the Berggarten up 3 years.
I have been about it now through the lovely comment section and I’ll be sure next time I go to have a look! Maybe even a trip to Sea Life 😁🤩👌🏼
sehr schönes video!!!!😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
0:24 Jeez.. at least put some socks on if you wear sandals. You're in germany.
:-DDD
😅
Since you were in the herrenhäuser gärten, you could have crossed the street and have a look behind the property of "sea life" You could have seen the "schrebergärten", a somewhat big area where people from within Hannover, who don't have access to a garden of their own can take care of a piece of land to grow mostly decorative flowers and have a beautiful place to relax, or even grow their own food.
And greetings right from the corner you were recording 0/
This footage with the music is very relaxing tho 🙇♂️
I didn't realize that's the same garden from my schooltrip bach when we had such things.
I liked your videos, because I love Germany 😍🇩🇪😊
Yes Germany is sooo green, it's one of the best things about the country. Thanks for this video!
You love nature? Trees? Many german cities have lots of trees in their streets. In Hannover, go to the "Altenbeekener Damm". Berlin is also almost famous for lots of trees. You could probably make a whole video about beautiful tiny forests in very 'normal' german city streets.
Mein Gott, wie schön es dort ist. 👍🏻🤩
dude you gotta check out the Berggarten just accross the road behind Sea Life. It's totally different, more like an english garden small lakes and hidden paths and stuff. Sadly the greenhouses with the cacti and the tropical plants are closed at the moment but it's still very much worth it!
... and it has the largest orchid collection of all Europe!
Hello Jacob , its the first time i saw one of your videos and it is beautyfull . The Composing of the visual parts with the musik and your little commentaries between is realy relaxing.
If you wanna see an other relativly big garden with a castle closeby you should look for "das Blühende Barock" in Ludwigsburg Baden Würthemberg (close to Stuttgart). There are 2 flowergardens , to be exactly and a Fairytale Garden ( der Märchengarten) where you can find lots of attractions of the "Gebrüder Grimm" Fairytales.
Thanks for the kind words and the recommendations! Next time I head to BW I’ll be sure to keep them in mind and try check it out! 😁👌🏼🙏🏼
thank you for reminding me how beautiful our country is! The Herrenhausener Garden you showed us here is just one of a million places we have like this. thank you for the "outside-perspective", it's helpful to get grounded. I live very close to the river Rhine (Rhein) and everytime I go there it gives me peace of mind. That's a "German-thing": go to nature and be still.
Spectacular!!
Love the Hannover Vlogs
Thanks man 🙏🏼 luckily it’s isn’t too far so I can always head in to feed my hunger for more Hannover shots 😅😁
Wunderschön!
I remember reading a post where a american person said how crazy it is that a building from the 1800 is considered really old in the us and in Europe its like "huh? Only 1800?"
Its really common to see buildings that are at least 200 years old. A lot of times they find a new purpose and get protected by law (Denkmalschutz). My friend lives in a house that was build around 1890 and they are not allowed to change stuff cause its under protection. Even the house of my granny is considered young tho its from 1910 or so. Oh and i shouldn't forget about market places in Germany that have buildings from like 15th century or so (depending on city history bc they may not be originals but reconstruction cause the original was destroyed). And my city still has the city wall with the houses build inside (i think 1 or 2 are still originals) that where build around the foundation of it in 1248
Danke Schoen, Jacob ... VIELEN DANK FUER DIESER VLOG!!!! I was having a really SHITTY day until I sat down & watched your VLOG!!!! It brought back so many wonderful memories of a country that I dearly love!! It seems that if it is old here in the USA, & any money can be made, then what is there is just "old, & in the way of progress!!! Germany preserves it's heritage, & in the process makes itself a more wonderful place to live!!! THANK YOU, ONCE AGAIN!!! Ih, & by the way ... I don't think anybody needs to correct your German pronunciation any more!!!
Nice camera-work
Spring is my second favourite time of the year. But it's really nice to see, how beautiful Germany is...or can be.
Well done
If you are able to come to Hannover again, you may want to check out the smaller "Berggarten" across the street from the "Großer Garten". The "Großer Garten" is very orderly and structured, based on English gardens (I believe it was one of the British kings who built it, back when the royal families of Hannover and Britain were joined via personal union). The "Berggarten" has more flowers and twisting paths, as well as a conservatory and a mausoleum.
Hannover actually has another park, the "Eilenriede". Or rather, we call it a "city forest". It has hiking, bicycling and horse riding paths.
Hannover in particular is a very green city with lots of modern mixed with trees. There are countless green areas around the city center and there is even the Stadtwald Eilenriede, which is a wood spanning 640 ha right in the middle of the city. It gets as close as a few hundred meters close to the central station of Hannover.
Thank you for making this video! I really enjoyed the nice and peaceful images of the Großer Garten. :D
Oh and you got the names right. The Herrenhäuser Gärten (genitive form of "Herrenhausen", which is the district of Hannover, plus plural form of "Garten", which simply means garden, I know our forms of cases and plural forms are messed up...) consists of the Großen Garten, the Berggarten, the Georgengarten and the Welfengarten. Sadly, you need to pay a fee to enter the Großen Garten and Berggarten, but you can enter Georgengarten and Welfengarten for free. Those two are just open urban parks.
We weren't always this good about it, honestly.
Even just a hundred years ago, most of our hills were barren and deforested, especially in the surrounding areas of towns and cities - people have gone to great lengths to restore our forests since those times, and we keep to a very strict standard these days to make sure that nature keeps thriving, so we can thrive with it.
These gardens are beautiful, but they are as distant from nature as New Yorks Time Square is. These gardens are meticulously planned and maintained in order to look like this. They fullfill the need for beauty and act as a green lung for the cities and a hub to relax and reflect, but to experience nature you need to visit the forrests of germany. There you will find the wildness that these parks are lacking. I'm glad we have both. Cheers from Berlin :)
What a great video! I had to look up Herrenhausen afterward to check out the history of the palace. Thanks for this!
Very nice like aleays👍 Watch your vlog every time 😎
WELCOME...to GERMANY/DEUTSCHLAND ! Greets/Grüße.
Love it
Yes, this was a wonderful walk. I've seen the Herrenhäuser Gärten one year ago. But there are gardens in Australia too. I remember the kings park in Perth. Very pretty. Btw. I love Perth.
Nice video! As some already commented: you haven‘t seen half of it. The other parts oh Herrenhäuser Gärten are the Küchengarten (botanical garden with a record exhibition of orchids and cactea as well as hedges of 300 year old rhododendrons) and the Georgengarten (English style garden). In the east of Hannover is the city forest Eilenriede with Annapark, Lönspark and Tiergarten inside it.
Btw: those golden statues are the stage background for the 300 year old garden theatre. In july/august there are plays donenin the summer evenings, eg Shakespeares summer night dream.
Awesome Park. I love it. Schade mr. Cantwell.
Amazing seeing your view on this. As a German living in one of the bigger cities, it feels like the Green and the countryside is getting less and less every year.
Beautiful place - and btw: Frankfurt has a skyline AND is one of Germany's greenest cities 😉
central park is also nice in new york
Hi, first of all, nice video. Because you are so interestet into Germany's "Green" Citys I have the feeling to give you some reasons about it. One reason for our green citys is a high nature protection. For example it is not allowed to cut down trees in the time of 01.03. - 30.09. due to nesting birds (there might be some exeptions). In case of rare animal species it is not allowed at all. Also cutting down trees is not quite simple and has specific rules called "Baumschutzsatzung". These are different in every disrtict but in general very similar. For example trees with a circumference more than 60-80cm (depends on the sort) are not allowed to cut down even on privat properties. Exeption might be a sick tree or a potential hazard by the tree. If you want to cut down a tree you have to make a request at your local community center. If you don't do so and cut down a tree you could be fined up to 100.000€. In most of the times after cutting down a tree, you have to plant a new one immediate area. This is called "Eingriff-Ausgelichs-Regelungen. So you see, there are many rules and regulatory obstacles which make it harder to cut down trees even on your own properties.
Ohh i was there last year its really beautiful there
Wow. So much of beautiful imagery. Actually, I’ve never been to Hannover, but your video truely gave me some ideas. Thx for that. I bet you guys had a wonderful day, good for you. I myself am located in Cologne. Not really known for picturebook sceneries, due to the vast devastation during WWII. And still there are so many green and also historic pockets I was able to enjoy the past weeks. Just yesterday and last week. Totally like a short vacation. If you ever feel like coming over, it’s my pleasure to supply you with info. If you think about Hamburg, it may blow your mind as well, depending on your interests. The total opposite of the Bavarian image about Germany. And sheer beauty. I promise 😊
Hannover has the rather unfortunate reputation of being boring and ugly. I cannot comment on the boring part, since I have never spent more than a few hours there, but the reputation for being ugly is undeserved in my opinion.
As someone who has lived in Hannover for more than 8 years now, I can confirm that I do not find the city boring. It probably depends on your priorities but as a student, Hannover was always a great city to live in. Apart from all the nice locations where you can have a relaxed barbecue in summers, there are so many theatres, restaurants, cafes, bars... Linden and the Nordstadt are more hipster with many vegan resturants and more alternative culture, the university and the Herrenhäuser Gärten are really pretty and the city is easy to manoeuvre with public transportation. I have nor regretted my decision to move here :)
No puppies? shame on you 😉
As a Hannover guy I like to offer some POI's.
1. Berggarten check out "Süntel Buchen" There is a witch story behind it from the middle age.
2. "Linden-Nord" + "Linden-Mitte" the alternative district of Hannover.
3. Also very interesting is a sightseeing tour about "Fritz Haarmann" The serial killer of Hannover like Jack the Ripper in London.
check it out on Google 😀
Thanks for the nice sunny video of the Herrenhauser Garten.
(Marianne has the right curls to be the Princess of Herrenhausen)
Ein Meisterwerk
Very nice Video, appreciate it. If you like gardens and parks, come visit Dortmund and the Westfalenpark. It is very nice there.
I need a 10min walk from my home to the Garden lol. Sadly the Garden is kinda empty since the Corona stuff. Otherwise there would be alot of Firework events and other stuff if the weather is great.
Ist unser Land nicht das Geilste der Welt? Wie man Dinge entdeckt, die man selber gar nicht mehr bemerkt, durch die Augen eines Fremden bringt mich immer wieder zum Staunen. Ich wünschte jeder könnte hierher kommen und es selbst erleben.
Isn't our country the best in the world? It amazes me everytime to experience things I think of as common through die eyes of a foreigner. I wish everyone could come here and see for themselves.
Hannover? Das ist garnicht weit von mir=) Grüße aus Wolfsburg=)
Wolfsburg ist auch ein schöne Stadt! 😁👋🏼
Ich fahr einmal jährlich durch Deutschland zu meiner Familie, durch Wolfsburg und Hannover, aber ich nehme mir nur in Wofsburg etwas Zeit da die gegenüber vom Bahnhof einen tollen Laden haben mit einer Wand aus jellybeans. Ich liebe die Dinger XD ich finde es auch besser in Wolfsburg einen Zug zu verpassen, es ist so schön grün am Bahnhof und alles sieht so ordentlich aus mit den großen Plätzen, den Fußgängerbrücken. :)
Did you ever visit Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel? It is so beautiful and you can take great pictures there.
What a beautiful video!! Great job editing! Another great garden is the English Garden in Munich. It is quite large designed by an English designer in the 1700's. While Germany is not a huge country its not small either, it is twice the size of the area of the New England states. Its fully forested area is the size of New York State.
Greetings from Hannover :)
OMG YOU ARE IN HANNOVER.
Love from Hannover lul ❤️❤️
