I lived in Germany, in Bavaria. For an American, it's incredible how much history intertwines with current daily life in Europe. My son's pediatrician's offices were located next to the ancient Landsberg city walls. We listened to strong quartets play in Gothic churches, worked in a Schloss complete with a dungeon last used by the Nazis.
@@angelikashipman3260 Absolutely! I have a firm belief that young people from the US need to travel, perhaps live for a while in other countries. It can, and maybe should, be on the cheap. Experiencing another culture opens ones heart and minds to other's experiences. Although, being first generation Mexican American, I had spent much time in Mexico- living in Germany was revolutionary. The lands, people, art, having a baby, shopping in grocery stores, walking on old cobblestones all gave me a deeper connection with a world outside my own.
Yeah. Every day you pass by something that you hadn't noticed before. It's full of hidden treasures like that. It's definitely worthy of the men's butts discount.
Dude, these documentaries are STELLAR! Im a documentary nerd, big time and these are soo well done and interesting, intelligent and are well written, and acted out we well, with excellent narration!! Thank you
Great show! His position reminds me of when I was the production manager (#2 position) at a big manufacturing facility. My boss, the plant manager, was always gone at conferences or visiting corporate or whatever. My days were spent running around making sure every thing was running; machines, hourly employees, union employees, contractors, production schedules, entertaining visits by customers and vendors... Never a dull moment. Middle management is one of the toughest positions for sure, even back in the 13th century 😅
I spent two weekends camped in the yard between the two towers of Munzenberg Castle as part of a medieval recreation week in the 1970’s. I stood on the battlements one night and looked out across the valley to see the lights of the villages.
This was the best. documentary I've ever seen. It was clear and informative while covering a day in the life kind of explanation as well as a story that was entertaining .
I think the problem is that no one wanted to be the person talking about loving German history immediately after WW2. So, German history fell out of public consciousness.
Hi, can you help me, please? Love this doc, but where does all this take place? In what is now Germany? At the beginning they mention the Roman Empire! What? And "Frederick"? Roman Empire? 1218? Thanks.
What a fascinating and informative documentary! This is one of the very best that I’ve ever seen, and I have watched a great deal of history videos. Bravo!
What a good , good documentary. The first acted documentary I have watched in RUclips, supported by commentaries from live on camera historians , besides there is the narration itself which is very good .
The life of a peasant in these times was beyond brutal. You worked from sunup to sundown and MAYBE if you were lucky you lived to 40 years old before an illness or disease killed you. If you weren't lucky, you either died very young or were killed by raiders who then often also wiped out your entire family and stole everything you worked so hard for. Many families and lineages were completely erased.
So many documentaries about Medieval history are very Anglo-centric, so it's good to finally see one that's set in the Continent! This makes me think of the Codex Manesse!😁
@@commissaryarrick9670 Well the Saxons came from Saxony / over Prussia way I think the Angles came from nearer Jutland - But realatively nearby Fresian is closest to modern English (Which sort of with a bit of mangling logic maybe goes some way to explaing why Dutch is supposed to be the easiest 'foreign' language for an English speaker to learn. [But try finding anywhere with most schools teaching Dutch 🙄]
This is one of the best things i have ever watched! I'm serious. This was excellent! 😊 i literally watched this the other day on our tv. But im not signed in to youtube there. So i had to put in a little extra effort to leave this comment (find phone, find this video, leave comment). It was like watching a little movie with great acting too! Superb! ❤
Interesting/informative/entertaining. Excellent reenactments/drawings/maps. Enabling viewers to better understand what the orator was describing. Making this documentary more authentic and possible. Special thanks to historian guest speakers sharing personal research information/making this documentary more authentic and possible!!!
My ancestors were from Germany and came here in 1738 aboard the ship “The Thistle” arriving in Philadelphia in 1738. They are said to be from Schloss Berg/Burg on the upper Rhine River. We are supposedly from the castle there. We have quite a few family members that do genealogy, including myself. My maiden name is Funderburg which was originally vonderburg meaning “from the castle or from the mountain”. It’s interesting to see this.
This video is so d interesting and very well made! I never knew about the ins, outs, and survival related to castles and life in this period of time, wonderful job 👏
0:23: 🏰 The video is about Ibad Fon Munen, a successful manager and head of the castle guard at Munzenberg Castle in the Vetal region in the year 128. 6:28: 🏰 The castellan played a crucial role in the operations of the castle, managing various duties and tasks, negotiating with the peasantry, and ensuring the castle's protection. 13:03: 💰 The video discusses the feudal system and the financial obligations of peasants to their lords. 21:27: 🔒 Ibah, the head of security, must explain how he can protect the castle and region against the hostile Fung Grans. 28:24: 🏰 Medieval architects had to manufacture everything they needed onsite, including tools and construction materials, and used stable mortar mixtures that have stood the test of time in many medieval castles and ruins. 36:10: 🍽 Medieval event cuisine featured exotic dishes, gilded swans, and changing trends. 42:17: 📜 In the Middle Ages, two families make a binding agreement for the exchange of resources and protection. Recap by Tammy AI
Thanks so much for posting! One of the best presentations for a historical documentaries I’ve ever seen! Which production company made this documentary?? I’d like to watch more of their VDOs!
This is a tier in it's own, They've even got the exerts of the best things the pundants they sat down inside some random castle hallway have said. 10/10
The story was fiction? Well it sure was real for me and enjoyed every minute of this video. All the players were stupendous! I really felt I was there. Thank you!
This is an excellent dramatization of history. It's fictional, sure. But it's entertaining while still being informative. It's a good story with a protagonist you can feel for who has to overcome challenges and you learn a bit about medieval history. It doesn't hurt that the 10th to 13th centuries are my favorite part of European history.
Yes. Feudalism was founded in France in the eighth century and was the whole of Europes sole form of government through to the Early Modern time period.
I love history. Wish I could translate to astral form, travel back to whenever and observe life, times, and language like one of those Christmas carol stories. 😊😊
A persistent myth in medieval Europe claimed that lynx urine solidified into a precious stone with magical properties. This "lynx stone" was believed to have healing powers and the ability to reveal hidden truths. However, this myth also contributed to the perception of the lynx as a strange and somewhat mystical creature.

That was my thought as well, that “managers” have always been needed and their role has been left fundamentally unchanged throughout time.
I spent two weekends camped in the yard between the two towers of Munzenberg Castle as part of a medieval recreation week in the 1970’s. I stood on the battlements one night and looked out across the valley to see the lights of the villages.
I bet that was quite fun!
What a great experience 😁
Sounds fun. Imagine the sentry on duty century's ago, standing where you were.
How amazing that must have been for you! You were able to store up treasured memories to peruse whenever you like and to have great stories to tell.
wow! amazing, how I wish I could experience that too
Wow, what an AMAZING AND EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE. Once in a lifetime, thanks for sharing!!!❤
That was remarkably good, not just an informative history documentary standing by itself itself but tied into a compelling and very satisfying story.
This was the best. documentary I've ever seen. It was clear and informative while covering a day in the life kind of explanation as well as a story that was entertaining .
I'm only 3 mins in and hard agree. I'm so excited to watch and take notes for dnd hahaha
I wish there was a whole mini series on these with different houses for each episode
BEST DOCUMENTARY WATCHED FOR THE PAST 12 MONTH
This is absolutely brilliant! I loge how you’ve brought history to life and given a real life view of daily life, I wish all channels did this
Very interesting narrative. Usually when I think of castles I think of England or France. I hope you post more about German medieval life.
Oh, but Germany had the most varied & colourful “kingdoms” & nobility ….and of course, Frederik the Great…
kind of ironic since germany has more castles than england
I think the problem is that no one wanted to be the person talking about loving German history immediately after WW2. So, German history fell out of public consciousness.
Hi, can you help me, please? Love this doc, but where does all this take place? In what is now Germany? At the beginning they mention the Roman Empire! What? And "Frederick"? Roman Empire? 1218? Thanks.
Really? The Rhine River is the most famous place to go view castles
This is better than most movies these days.
Went on my favorite doc list within five minutes of watching. Great work!
This is an exceptional documentary. Thank you for this.
This documentary is excellent! So much fun to watch!

Love listening to German. Don’t understand more than a word or two but love listening.
This is an incredibly interesting video about day to day feudel Europe
This is awesome. Do you think you can do more of the Middle Ages period? Maybe the Wars of the Roses or the 100 Years War.
Excellent work!😊
Wow what a sensational documentary!

As soon as I saw Paul Lux, I knew I was going to enjoy this

I swear I can watch all forms of medieval tv
great vid
I wish I could follow my father's line back to the 1200s and see who my greatx25 great grandfather was and how he survived.
I want that book they are using with the pop-ups!
….Right??

I want that pop-up book too!😊.
I really enjoyed that! Better than most so called Hollywood epics!
Great story and lesson
Awesome channel
This was an excellent documentary thank you... but I just have to say, that I was WAY too high for these names lol I was cracking up
Very interests. Ll done. Thank you.

This is much more entertaining than watching Hollywood movies, and very educational to boot. Good job to the production team.
what a great video- great story
Bro passed a speech check at the end
Politics of an era never change throughout the centuries.
Sehr interessant! Question: were the German feud system and the Anglo/Norman feudal system variations on the same theme? Great video!
Yes. Feudalism was founded in France in the eighth century and was the whole of Europes sole form of government through to the Early Modern time period.
Excellent!
Great Doc guys!
Where can we get similar videos to this one?
This was quite good, thanks
Excellent description of life in the middle ages. I seen castles in Scotland and Germany I find them fascinating.
Groovy episode.
I have to ask: where is the location for the interview with professor Hirschfelder? Is it a museum?
The usual time from the crowning the king to his death is only four years so it's very impressive accomplishment to further than 4 years
I love history. Wish I could translate to astral form, travel back to whenever and observe life, times, and language like one of those Christmas carol stories. 😊😊
