Wenn man diese Videos sieht, dann sieht man erstmal in was für einem wunderschönen Land man eigentlich lebt und bekommt ein Stückweit die Augen geöffnet ❤
Kann ich nur Bestätigen. Bin grade dabei meine Urlaube in Deutschland zu Planen ... und habe es auch die letzten Jahre so gemacht weil man erstmal sein eigenes Land kennlern sollte ... so schöne Orte gibt es hier bei uns und alle wollen immer nur an den Strand und raus. Es ist wunderschön bei uns man muss es nur finden wollen.

As a German I am honestly touched by your reaction. Thank you! And do not forget that a huge part of Germany lay in ruins 70 years ago. I am very grateful to all the people who helped to rebuild.
I hope this will never happen again. But current developments show that after the long period of peace, many people seem to have forgotten how great peace is and how terrible war must be. War is not heroic, beautiful or desirable.War is suffering for everyone and the loss of lives and cultural assets.
As an American living in Germany, it's like a paradise. It's not without it's faults, but the scenery and quaint little towns never get old to me. To any Americans of Germanic descent who feel like something is missing in your life, I suggest checking out Germany, reconnect with your roots and remember where you came from. It's incredible.
@@bgbuilds2712 Never been to either Dresden or Leipzig. Must be beautiful. But at the moment, nothing takes me to East Germany. No desire at all for the whole fucking AfD scum.
I was born in Hungary and have been living here in Germany for 12 years. The first sentence I learnt in German was: Order is a must! And that's what you can see everywhere in Germany, on the streets, in the forests, in the meadows, in villages and towns. All European countries have very beautiful places and beautiful architecture, like England, for example, has even more beautiful, older architecture, but none of them are as clean, as tidy and as well maintained as Germany. England, for example, is beautiful, but compared to Germany, it's just dirty, I have to be honest. Yes, if you compare Neukölln with Ludwigsburg, there are of course big differences, but what people tend to forget is that the problem neighbourhoods in Germany look nicer than the "nice" places in some countries. I sometimes forget it too, then I go away somewhere and when I come back home I remember that I shouldn't complain so much if something isn't quite perfect. I'm just a person who loves order, that's why I feel at home in Germany, I love this country. The people are also very friendly and helpful. I will never forget all the support I received 12 years ago when I came to Germany without knowing the language. So many greetings to Olbernhau, although I now live in Baden-Württemberg, I will never forget you. And you really have to visit Germany, no matter which city you choose for yourself, but you have to visit the smaller cities in this area in any case, because they usually look even more beautiful than their larger siblings.
Some of our success has to be contributed to how the USA treated Nazi Germany, as opposed to the winning nations after WW1. Glad we did not repeat history there.
As a swedish woman living in Germany, i will thank you for your wonderful representation of this really beautiful country. The little towns here got their own magic. It's amazing. All the best for you🙂...
As a German, I had tears in my eyes, thank you very much for this great representation of our country. Kind regards and have a wonderful time everyone.
3:53 Cologne Cathedral at night; main parts built 1248 -1528 AD, towers and some connecting parts finished in different campaigns 1823-1880. It is shown again in 7:20. 5:01 Schwerin Palace, the former seat of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The oldest parts are from the 16th century, but the external appearance goes back to the reconstruction in the 19th century in the style of the Loire Valley chateaus. It houses now the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as museums and public gardens. 5:34 / 5:37 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, one of three well-preserved medieval cities along the border between Bavaria and Baden-Wüttemberg. 5:39 Lübeck, once one of the leading cities of the Hanseatic League and role model for many cities along the coasts of the Baltic Sea. 6:30 the famous Holsten Gate in Lübeck. 7:54 A quick glance at Mainz Cathedral 7:58 A longer sequence of rebuilt baroque Dresden at the Elbe river. The baroque palaces and churches were originally built at the time as the Electors and Dukes of Saxony were also elected Kings of Poland. 10:04 The Frauenkirche (or Notre Dame de Dresden) was destroyed by British bombing in WW II. In 1990, after reunification, it was still a heap of rubble, but Dresden citizens had saved many old artworks from it, and then started a campaign to rebuild it. They used stones from the same quarry as the original and also some of still usable stones of the old building (the blacked ones in the facade). 10:15 Limburg Cathedral at river Lahn in Hesse, built in the 12th and 13th century, partly extending, partly replacing older churches from the 9th and early 11th century. 10:28 Now we are in Munich. 10:52 The New Town Hall of Munich (built 1867-1909 in the Neogothic style). The Old Town Hall is also still in use, built 1470-1475, destroyed in WW II, but rebuilt afterwards. 11:12 The Theresienwiese with the statue of Bavaria and the Oktoberfest (which was originally the anniversary of the marriage of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810). 11:15 The Kyffhäuser monument, erected by Prussia after defeating the German Confederation and establishing a new federation called "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) to honor the legendary Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa (1122-1190, Duke of Swabia 1147-1152, King of Germany since 1152, King of Italy and Emperor 1155, 1178 also King of Burgundy). Legend has it that he sleeps in a cave in the Kyffhäuser mountain until Germany needs him; in reality he drowned in a river in Turkey during a crusade; he was buried in Tarsus (heart and inner organs), Antioch (flesh) and Tyre (bones). Since most German soldiers left after his death, the crusade, then led by the French King Philip II and the English King Richard Lionheart, failed in the end. At his way back Richard Lionheart was then imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria, who had led the German and Hungarian armies after the death of the Emperor and whom Richard had insulted. 11:34 starting a Hamburg sequence. 11:44 Hamburg Speicherstadt, the old warehouse district within the port of Hamburg. 12:00 Quick jump to the other end of Germany: Freiburg im Breisgau, the sunniest city of Germany at the foot of the Black Forest. 12:10 And now Frankfurt at river Main. 12:18 the Römer square; most buildings were destroyed in WW II or shortly after, later the old facades were reconstructed.
Danke, so kann ich mir meinen Kommentar sparen 😅 als Ergänzung vielleicht noch: 9:10 The oldest building in Germany that is still in use is around 1000 years old
@@Am-Fear-Liath Hab zwischenzeitlich Städteraten gespielt, Berlin, Köln und Frankfurt ist einfach, Hamburg und Lübeck als Norddeutscher auch, aber ein paar waren schon schwierig. :D
My son has travelled quite a bit around mainland Europe. He's always said that Germany was the one country he'd definitely return to. The landscape and architecture are just breathtakingly beautiful. Here in Wales we have our own stunning landscape with many, many outstanding examples of architecture from all ages. He just said that Germany was something else though.
I'm from Germany, and I visited Wales a couple of years ago. It was so, so beautiful. Stunning landscapes, beautiful old villages, castles, towns, friendly people... I loved it. I hope to return some day, so many places I have not visited yet.
Es gibt so viele zauberhafte Länder auf diesem Planeten und ebenso wunderbare Menschen. Aber hier ist unsere Heimat mit solch beeindruckenden historischen Gebäuden. Die 16 Bundesländer sind unsere Vielfalt nicht nur architektonisch, sondern auch landschaftlich eine Augenweide. Es ist kein Verbrechen, sein eigenes Land zu lieben, es wärmt, es versteht Dich und wir sind alle im Besitz eines erhaltenswerten Schatzes. Heimat ist dort, wo man sich nicht erklären muss.
had the pleasure to visit Germany a couple of times on my bike with friends..two things hit me straight away ..superb lane discipline on their auto bans and later when asking for directions everyone speaks English and some of them better than me, aah, great memory's from a great country
Rammstein tidbit. Did you see the gigantic statue of a warrior wearing a winged helmet and pointing his sword to the sky? You see him briefly at the beginning of "Deutschland" video. He's Arminius, son of a germanic chieftain taken hostage in Rome as a young child. Educated and military trained as a Roman, he came back to Germany as a trusted Roman cavalry officer. Taking advantage of his knowledge of the roman army tactics, he united the feuding germanic tribes and attracted 3 Roman legions in a deadly trap: the Teutoburg forest. Not being used to asymetric warfare, the legions were massacred. Arminius became king of the Germans. This is considered as the birth of Germania, the German nation. At the beginning of Rammstein's Deutschland video, you see a few Roman legionaires, survivors of the Teutoburg Battle.
That's not quite right. The beginning of the Rammstein video does not show the Romans during the Battle of Teutoburg (year 9 AD), but seven years later (Germanicus campaign). Legend has it that Arminius met his brother Flavius, who had lost an eye during the fighting in 16 AD, on the banks of the river Weser. You can see him in the video. Arminius returned to the Cherusci years earlier, while Flavius remained loyal to the Romans. Although the Romans were successful, their losses were huge and they were unable to extend their influence. They decided to leave Germanica Magna - and they never came back. The Deutschland video refers to this story.
Living in the Netherlands myself (a beautiful country as well, with many historic places), I like our neighbour Germany a lot as a holiday destination. I have been there very often (next year in March will be the next time). What's even more impressive: after WW II many of old historic buildings all over Europe were destroyed and a lot of them has been beautifully rebuild, some of them from scratch. And Germany is no exception.
Hahaha :D Im from Germany I always rode through the Graachten in the Netehrlands on a houseboat each and every year of my childhood for vacation :) Love the Netherlands
@@JaapFilius I have lived in the Netherlands for 4 years in the early 80s and the Dutch are still my favourite neighbours. Fantastic people, fantastic country. Love from Germany 🇩🇪❤️🇳🇱
The cathedral in my neighboring town was built in 872, so it is now 1,151 years old. The church in my town is 850 years old. My house is 250 years old. Many of these old buildings were at least partially destroyed and rebuilt during the war. Thank God stones don't burn

Big Ben in London, Statue of Liberty in N.Y., Eiffel Tower in Paris... and in Germany it is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin (symbol of German unity) 3:30
Neuschwanstein is the dream of a bavarian King who wanted a fairy tale castle in the 19th century. Very beautiful but not quit a Symbol for germans as a whole😊
The Brandenburg Gate is a worthy symbol because of its history. It was build as a symbol of liberty. After the French had taken the statue and then has been returned after the defeat of France, it became a symbol of victory. Then Germany was divided and the Gate was a Landmark at the border, so it became a symbol of unity after unification. From the outside it is a rather humble Landmark, but the inner value carries more meaning than any aforementioned symbols. And non of the other symbols managed to travel to another country, that's badass. 😀
Germany has many castles, palaces, etc. This is because Germany emerged from many different entities such as, Counties, Duchies, Principalities, Margraviates, Prince-Bishopricswhere etc. the rulers of each entities had such magnificent buildings constructed to showcase their power.
What many kingdoms? There was the Holy Roman Empire which was an empire and there was more or less just one actual kingdom in it - Bohemia. All the other king titles belonged to the Emperor. The Holy Roman Empire had many territories - especially a lot of knightly estates - with no lord between the owners and the Emperor, that's why some of the later maps look a bit chaotic. But every big empire in Europe had a bunch of small estates, most of them just had some duke or archbishop ruling over them, so we don't show them on maps as their own territories but just as part of the bigger ones.
If you consider that about 85% of all the cities were just ruins after the 2nd World War and everything was rebuilt in the few years very often true to the original... what does that tell you about this country and the people in it? Btw; the construction time for Cologne Cathedral was over 600 years!! On the other hand, it survived several direct bomb hits in the 2nd World War almost undamaged.
85 %? Thats not true. The most damages where in the west, north and north-west the middle, east, south-east and the south where not targeted very much. It shows where the industry where located at this time.
@@arnolsi Ok, I didn't know that Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Kiel, Lübeck, Frankfurt, Freiburg, and all the other cities are in the west.Someone must have slept too much at school!
@@arnolsi The south was bombarded to smithereens because the train lines down to the alps were considered a main target to prevent the Nazis from building their "Alpenfestung". (I'm living about 100km south of Munich and every time some new buildings are under construction they find old not detonated and in some cases still live air raid bombs. Friends of mine were evacuated in Augsburg over Christmas a few years ago because they found a 750kg bomb in the middle of the city and this thing could have levelled the whole city center of Augsburg. Here evacuations are not a rare thing but something we expect to experience every other year.
@@althelas They bombed the big cities and the industry. With 85 % we had no areas left with old cities showing in the video. I live in the south-west and my city was not targeted.
@@arnolsi just because your city was lucky, dies it not mean all of them were lucky. My city was not big back then. It only was unfortunate to be along the train tracks leading to Salzburg and Berchtesgaden.Maybe it would have been lucky if the train tracks would have taken a different route, but we will never know. It happened and we have to live with it.
Yeah Germany is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Your reaction was so awesome. 🙂 Hope you visit us sometimes. ;-) Good Places, Good Food, many attractions. Anyway, we´ll see at Euro 2024. 🙂
The fascinating thing here in Germany (and of course in Europe) is that you can admire buildings from so many time periods. From Roman times (e.g. Porta Nigra in Trier) to modern times! You forget that so often because it's so commonplace!
9:50 the thing is we have to much amazing buildings😂😂 Thats why we dont have one really public one... But i guess the most public one is the "Brandenburger Tor" in berlin or the "Neuschwanstein castle" #Disney castle
Germany is amazingly beautiful! They are some skyscrapers in Frankfurt but every single village there is beautiful. They have thousands of castles. And it is pretty clean. I spend two years there . And have in mind the destructions of WWII and there all was rebuilt.
Dear friend, in medivial times the castles were for the protection of the surrounding people, those paid in food and work for it. Part of the food stuff was put into the cellars of those castles and in emergencies the people fled into those castles and food was already there. Churches and monasteries were the nexus of learning and knowledge. If you can read and write you have a better standing and chances in the community. Also very often hospitals were led by monks and nuns. You can imagine, that people began to live close to those churches and monasteries. The inner parts of those churches were sanctuaries (hence the name) where people fled, when in danger. This is why churches often are at the centers of towns. One city you enjoyed is Dresden, This city was destroyed by firebombs in WW II (Hey we started that darn war). After the reunite of Germany we all helped with money to recreate Dresden to its former glory. Most of us eldly ones are proud of what we achieved, not that we are GERMANS. With the help of the United States we rebuilt our country and nation and will always be thankful for it. Oh I forgot. The palaces were mostly for representations and for the administrative part of every community. You be safe man. Elmar from Germany
3:40 my Hometown Hansestadt Lübeck, die Königin der Hanse. Der Löwe in Vordergrund ist das Symbol des Stadtgründers Heinrich der Löwe und im hintergrund das Holstentor. Rechts die zwei Türme ist die Marienkirche und links der Turm ist die Petrikirche. Man nennt Lübeck auch die Stadt der 7 Türme die man von weiten schon gut sehen kann. Lübecks Altstadtinsel ist Weltkulturerbe.
Yes indeed - Germany is a very special country. Rich by culture, architecture and nature. But it gets even more overwhelming if you widen your prespective a little bit and have a look to Europe. Example? Last year I had a three week mobile home journey through the very northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and this was also absolutely amazing: San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, Porto, Salamanca, Madrid, Saragossa and many many more. And if you compare European area's size with North America - well, nothing more to say. As a German I always say: I'm so gifted to live in an area that rich as Europe. And we are fighting for this area against people who want to retreat into their little shells. If they won, it would be an immeasurable loss.
10:26 - 11:13 is my home town Munich. "Look at this" is the "Neue Rathaus" - new city hall. Fairly new buidling (in comparison to others), they started building it in 1867.
I come from Italy, where apparently everyone dreams to move and/or retire to. I moved to Germany 26 years ago. Never regretted it. Having worked in Frankfurt, I can tell you there are skyscrapers there. The 13 tallest buildings in Germany are located in Frankfurt. In fact, Frankfurt has been nicknamed "Mainhattan" ("Manhattan on the river Main") due to its skyline.
5:45 this is Rothenburg on der Tauber. Beautiful historical tiny town or more village in Northern Bavaria, well known for its middle age looks. Also quite touristy. And as others habe already mentioned, Germany got its ugly sides. 😂 Even my hometown which is quite popular tourist spot as well. But I guess every country in this world got both, a beautiful and ugly sides.
We unfortunately also do have quite a few ugly cities that were completely destroyed during WW2 and then quickly rebuilt with a focus on having shelter/infrastructure and not a focus on beauty. Every year there are still about 5000 undetonated bombs found so it’s not irregular to get evacuated while while they defuse it. Last year they found one under my school’s courtyard where it could have gone off at anytime in the last 78 years, killing all 1200 students and 100 staff…. But except for those bombs, generally there are always many beautiful places in your nearer surroundings so it’s ok even if you live in an ugly city
It‘s honestly kind of startling because in a lot of cities you have almost a very clear line where the charming old town /Altstadt (usually the old city centre) ends and the ugly concrete block architecture of post war times begins 😅 Also, not shown here, but a lot of operational churches here (at least in the north) do not look like that, either you have very tiny old chapels or concrete block 70‘s style churches that look devoid of hope 😂
@@ginster458 true, many of the churches that had to be built when the birth of the baby boomers massively increased the population, are really ugly and unnecessarily minimalist.
Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was built by the son of a German who made his name sound more French for economic reasons? He also designed the Statue of Liberty. Europe has a common history. Today's borders are just a snapshot. We belong together.
moin ut noorddüütschland😊 thanks for your reaction and interesting for my country👍😁 your are everytime welcome in germany👍 allerbest vun de waterkant bremerhaven un hool di wuchtig mien keerl👍
Great reaction and its nice that you like the architecture in Germay. You can find many different styles from many historical periods. You mentioned how well and clean many of the castles and churches looked. The reason for that is quite sad. The original buildings are up to 2200 years old, but almost all of them had to be restaurated not that long ago. Big cities in Germany like Berlin or Dresden were heavily destroyed in air raids - over 90% of the buildings were demaged or completely destroyed. I'm very glad, that after the war the government tried to restore as much of the historical monuments as possible. This is btw the most known German national monument: 2:02 (Brandenburger Tor - it was build in 1788 and after reunification of east and west germany it became the symbol of unification, after it was part of the "Berlin Wall" before)
And imagine, how Germany would look like today If it wasn't bombed away during ww2 ^^ Thinking of my hometown: there we're over 1.500 (yes!!!) half-timbered houses, at this time the City with the most half-timbered houses in whole Germany! Very shortly before the end of the war, over 90% of the city was destroyed by the dropping of phosphorus bombs (which were already banned at the time) and the resulting devastating firestorm. The phosphorus bombs were deliberately used in this city because the whole framework “burned so beautifully” and the fire could spread so quickly and cause the greatest possible destruction. Of the beautiful old half-timbered houses (around 1,000 small and medium-sized and around 500 large ones), exactly 92 remain, which are located in different districts of the city. So the whole character and the beautiful medieval flair of the city is lost forever... 😢😢😢
Germany is beautiful and worth a trip. Hamburg is a great place with its spoke city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Hafencity, the Elbphilharmonie (concert hall), the Miniatur Wunderland.
even for me as a German this Video melt my heart, its just breathtaking...this video make me cry...its just disappointing everyone around the world asociates Germany with the WW2 and every single German regrets the WW2, but Germany is much more than this... Germany is full of History... In Germany we have around 25000 Castles... that means we have more Castles in Germany than McDonalds in the US Antworten
Greetings from Germany. You're welcome to visit us here. I think it's the mixture of old and modern that is interesting, a lot of history, a lot of different landscapes. The people may seem distant at first but if you get to know them better you'll see we're nice people who also love to laugh. Fot your information: it sure isn't spotless everywhere but we keep trying.
The German Statue of Liberty is the Hermannsdenkmal, the statue with the raised sword. The statue represents how the Germanic tribes drove the Romans out of the country in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. Greetings from Germany 😊
7:58 - 10:05 is Dresden, was completly destroyed in WW2. At Frauenkirche they left a piece of rubble from the church tower on the forecourt as a reminder. I've already seen baroque inner cities, but this concentration on the banks of the Elbe is breathtaking. From the train station you first go through the communist-style pedestrian zone and then into the baroque part. The contrast is amazing and beautifully restored.
I'm German and can tell you we have also urgly and/or dirty areas. This are the tourist hot spots not the whole country looks like out of a fairy tale.
Germany has about 22000 castles. so if you would visit one castle each day it would still take you about 60 years to visit them all. the ones in the video are the most preserved and probably touresty ones.
yes, around 25000, but it is also a matter of translation. "castles" may be fortresses, palaces, etc, and also including many well preserved and many that are in ruins. but if you run out of castles, you can start on 25000 catholic churches, 25000 protestant churches, and 2500 others (mosques, synagogues, temples, etc)
15:03 I think every German knows this castle very well, because a very famous Cinderella movie from the 1970s was filmed here. It is shown again and again at Christmas time. For us Germans, "Three Nuts for Cinderella" is simply part of Christmas.
"Germany" and architectural monuments. (The faithful reconstruction and preservation of these "architectural treasures" devours enormous amounts of money and is like a "black hole"). A development over many centuries that actually spread throughout EUROPE. Already 2000 years ago, thanks to the "Roman Empire" (starting from Italy), culture and architecture spread across many European countries and continued to develop in the Middle Ages and later age. For their own protection, many built small principalities and kingdoms, castles, palaces and villages. Through many wars, new "empires" (states) emerged again and again, which demonstrated their power through tremendous architectural art. During the Second World War, a lot of things were destroyed in strategically important regions of Germany. (Most of the "original architecture" can still be found in the then very rural "southern German and northern German regions"). Unfortunately, these days “big cities” look pretty similar all over the world, and this also applies to Germany.
Ive been to Germany, and what i saw of it was beautiful; however, this was back in 1967 on a boat tour up the Rhine. Basically, all we saw were castles (no stops along the way) until we got to Cologne, where we toured a beautiful cathedral and bought some pastries! The next day we left for Holland so my trip through Germany was a little disappointing, but i was 17 so just being there was exciting.
Many thanks for the impressive pictures from Germany. Great reaction! 👍 Please be sure to check out pictures of Cologne Cathedral! 🤩 >> Cologne Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the Gothic style. Its construction was begun in 1248 and not completed until 1880. Some art historians have described the cathedral as a "perfect cathedral" because of its uniform and balanced design. At 157.4 meters, it is the second tallest sacred building in Germany after Ulm Minster and the third tallest in the world. The cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and is one of the most visited sights in Germany.
My friend from US. It looks like you love my country and Rammstein aswell... Here another great German Metal Band. Feuerschwanz Check it out... Have fun. I love the Song Ultima Nocte
Oh thank you so much for the representstion of my home country for 61 years . We need people like you for coming back to our roots ,because many is running now wrong in this old germany.
4:09 - Cologne dome which they started to build on 15. August 1248 - not completed but opened 1880 ! 5:58 - Rothenburg ob der Tauber - too small to be targeted by the US Airfore - hence not destroyed !! 8:00 - 8:45 Dresden - totally destroyed by an air raid on 13/14 th Feb 1945 - fully rebuilt since then !!! 10:10 : Fulda - the old catholic dome 10:13 : Dome of Limburg 11:34 : Hamburg with its new Elbphilamonie ( concert house on an old deep freezer warehouse basement ! ) - next to Miniatur Wunderland !! 14:00 : Aachen with the throne of the first german emperor Karl dem Großen - 14:07 - my hometown Flensburg with its Navy academy - and my famous school on the top of the height ! Most northern town in Germany next to Denmark ! 14:49 - Bonn University from 1818 14:55 : Goslar - the Pfalz ( homet to the travelling emperors during their journeys through Germany by HORSE ! ) 15:04 : Moritzburg near Dresden - Fun castle of August dem Starken !! 15:12 : Binz on the coast of the Baltic Sea 15:24 : Rügen with its chalk coast 16:44 : Ratzeburg with the town on the Island In most of the castles people still live but have to make sure tourists come and pay for visit - a castle is expensive !! ofc there is garbage around - you will find it when you visit Germany !! 20:41 : Passau - the town ot the 3 rivers - 20:59 inside the church ..
The reason everything looks so neat and nice is partly due to building regulations. In Germany it is not allowed to simply use checkerboard roof tiles or green roofs.
The music is from the "1864" movie battle theme.... the war between Danmark and Germany. The location was near the Dybbol mill, next town was Sonderborg. The mill got destroyed 2 times, but the battlefields and the rebuild mill are a national monument today. Danmark lost a lot of his country to Germany in the battle. Sonderborg is only 100 km away from the German border and all towns and villages I drove trough, are pretty and very clean...
The city of Karlsruhe is also called the Fecher city because the streets spread out from the castle 🏰 like a Fecher. However, you don't see any of it today.
First of all - greetings from germany ^^Of course you are warmly invited to visit, explore and discover our country :) glad you liked this little "tour" :D
In the video there is hardly anything to be seen of the national park "Harz" and "Wadden Sea". Amrum is a small island. One of 7 islands in Lower Saxony. Amrum WOW ruclips.net/video/1Ol-v0crwYM/видео.html
If you like model trains then you have to go to Hamburg, they have the largest model railway in the world and is still growing, now one of the most famous cathedrals is the Köln Cathedral over 600 years old, they started building it around 1250 and it was not even finished and they started renovation on it, I have lived in Germany for 42 years and they finished the damage from WW2 just a few years ago, there are so many historical buildings in Germany you need a life time to see them all, you see the Kölner Dom three or four times in this Video, but when you watch old war films you see the cathedral standing there, in every city has a beautiful church or Castle, if you come over make a plan of where you want to go, if you start in Berlin then Lübeck and a short trip to Hamburg, from there south to Köln, if you say maybe 2 to 3 days per city then you get the main stuff covered, so you need around 2 months 😅😂 maybe not but enough cash, shopping is cheaper than the USA, but petrol prices are 2 to 3 times higher, sorry swings and roundabouts. Anyway ENJOY.
I just love the fact that in Germany we can touch history... I live near Trier in southwestern Germany and there are buildings like the Porta Nigra the black gate, build by the roman empire over 1800 years ago...and you can still walk throught it
Ramstein with one M is the largest U.S. air base outside the U.S. and a suburb of my hometown Kaiserslautern. However, I find the band with 2 M to be 🤮
Yes you're right about old Bulidings in Germany, let's take the first Castle for example it's a rather new Buliding it was build in 1869. The Porta Nigra ( Black Gate) was build by Romans in 170 ad.
I lived in Germany for awhile and the only disappointment I have was the 74 Lincoln I shipped over would have needed all the suspension replaced to handle the high speeds and it was probably to big to easily navigate many of the small village roads, sold it at the port. My son was born there as well.
@@arnodobler1096 Yea a 15 year old car from the US and autobahn would not have mixed well with older suspension parts probably. Anyway it was the customs people that would not release it until it had new parts, An older German man bought it and stretched it.
Thank you for liking the pictures of my country so much. Perhaps you really would like to visit us sometime. You could probably tour the whole of Germany without even having to book a hotel room. Just let us know which city you want to visit and I'm sure there will be some fans who will give you a place to stay. For my part, I would be happy to invite you to Nuremberg/Bavaria for a few days, including a visit to all the sights (and Nuremberg and the surrounding area have a lot to offer). Just let me know or keep an eye out for Schreibservice Tischer :-).
At 15:49 you could see the timber frame houses of my home town, (Hann.) Münden. There are several little towns with similar architecture in that area. Always worth a visit!
This timber frame houses here everywhere in Nordhessen. It is normal here in small towns. Sometimes japanese or chinese people work around and make pictures from this small or big houses.
I think Germany is one of the most underrated countries in Europe as a travel destination. Many people know it as an economic power, orderly, correct and clean. The very different landscapes from the flat land by the sea to the big mountains in the Alps, there are many different areas. The fact that Germany was not high on the list of travel destinations in the past probably has to do with its history (both world wars). In the meantime, however, it has become clear that Germany no longer has anything to do with the country that brought so much suffering to the world around 65-75 years ago. Germany is becoming more and more popular as a travel destination.

As a German I am honestly touched by your reaction. Thank you! And do not forget that a huge part of Germany lay in ruins 70 years ago. I am very grateful to all the people who helped to rebuild.
I hope this will never happen again. But current developments show that after the long period of peace, many people seem to have forgotten how great peace is and how terrible war must be. War is not heroic, beautiful or desirable.War is suffering for everyone and the loss of lives and cultural assets.
As an American living in Germany, it's like a paradise. It's not without it's faults, but the scenery and quaint little towns never get old to me. To any Americans of Germanic descent who feel like something is missing in your life, I suggest checking out Germany, reconnect with your roots and remember where you came from. It's incredible.
Thank you

I was born in Hungary and have been living here in Germany for 12 years. The first sentence I learnt in German was: Order is a must! And that's what you can see everywhere in Germany, on the streets, in the forests, in the meadows, in villages and towns. All European countries have very beautiful places and beautiful architecture, like England, for example, has even more beautiful, older architecture, but none of them are as clean, as tidy and as well maintained as Germany. England, for example, is beautiful, but compared to Germany, it's just dirty, I have to be honest. Yes, if you compare Neukölln with Ludwigsburg, there are of course big differences, but what people tend to forget is that the problem neighbourhoods in Germany look nicer than the "nice" places in some countries. I sometimes forget it too, then I go away somewhere and when I come back home I remember that I shouldn't complain so much if something isn't quite perfect. I'm just a person who loves order, that's why I feel at home in Germany, I love this country. The people are also very friendly and helpful. I will never forget all the support I received 12 years ago when I came to Germany without knowing the language. So many greetings to Olbernhau, although I now live in Baden-Württemberg, I will never forget you. And you really have to visit Germany, no matter which city you choose for yourself, but you have to visit the smaller cities in this area in any case, because they usually look even more beautiful than their larger siblings.

3:53 Cologne Cathedral at night; main parts built 1248 -1528 AD, towers and some connecting parts finished in different campaigns 1823-1880. It is shown again in 7:20.
5:01 Schwerin Palace, the former seat of the Dukes of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The oldest parts are from the 16th century, but the external appearance goes back to the reconstruction in the 19th century in the style of the Loire Valley chateaus. It houses now the state parliament of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as well as museums and public gardens.
5:34 / 5:37 Rothenburg ob der Tauber, one of three well-preserved medieval cities along the border between Bavaria and Baden-Wüttemberg.
5:39 Lübeck, once one of the leading cities of the Hanseatic League and role model for many cities along the coasts of the Baltic Sea. 6:30 the famous Holsten Gate in Lübeck.
7:54 A quick glance at Mainz Cathedral
7:58 A longer sequence of rebuilt baroque Dresden at the Elbe river. The baroque palaces and churches were originally built at the time as the Electors and Dukes of Saxony were also elected Kings of Poland. 10:04 The Frauenkirche (or Notre Dame de Dresden) was destroyed by British bombing in WW II. In 1990, after reunification, it was still a heap of rubble, but Dresden citizens had saved many old artworks from it, and then started a campaign to rebuild it. They used stones from the same quarry as the original and also some of still usable stones of the old building (the blacked ones in the facade).
10:15 Limburg Cathedral at river Lahn in Hesse, built in the 12th and 13th century, partly extending, partly replacing older churches from the 9th and early 11th century.
10:28 Now we are in Munich. 10:52 The New Town Hall of Munich (built 1867-1909 in the Neogothic style). The Old Town Hall is also still in use, built 1470-1475, destroyed in WW II, but rebuilt afterwards. 11:12 The Theresienwiese with the statue of Bavaria and the Oktoberfest (which was originally the anniversary of the marriage of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810).
11:15 The Kyffhäuser monument, erected by Prussia after defeating the German Confederation and establishing a new federation called "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) to honor the legendary Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa (1122-1190, Duke of Swabia 1147-1152, King of Germany since 1152, King of Italy and Emperor 1155, 1178 also King of Burgundy). Legend has it that he sleeps in a cave in the Kyffhäuser mountain until Germany needs him; in reality he drowned in a river in Turkey during a crusade; he was buried in Tarsus (heart and inner organs), Antioch (flesh) and Tyre (bones). Since most German soldiers left after his death, the crusade, then led by the French King Philip II and the English King Richard Lionheart, failed in the end. At his way back Richard Lionheart was then imprisoned by Duke Leopold of Austria, who had led the German and Hungarian armies after the death of the Emperor and whom Richard had insulted.
11:34 starting a Hamburg sequence. 11:44 Hamburg Speicherstadt, the old warehouse district within the port of Hamburg.
12:00 Quick jump to the other end of Germany: Freiburg im Breisgau, the sunniest city of Germany at the foot of the Black Forest.
12:10 And now Frankfurt at river Main. 12:18 the Römer square; most buildings were destroyed in WW II or shortly after, later the old facades were reconstructed.
Keine Ahnung, wie lange das Kommentar gebraucht hat, falls das nicht vorbereitet war. Respekt.

My son has travelled quite a bit around mainland Europe. He's always said that Germany was the one country he'd definitely return to. The landscape and architecture are just breathtakingly beautiful. Here in Wales we have our own stunning landscape with many, many outstanding examples of architecture from all ages. He just said that Germany was something else though.
I'm from Germany, and I visited Wales a couple of years ago. It was so, so beautiful. Stunning landscapes, beautiful old villages, castles, towns, friendly people... I loved it. I hope to return some day, so many places I have not visited yet.
I can return the favour, though. I, as a German, visited Wales twice and loved it :D Will definitely return to your beautiful country!

Was beautiful, it`s a shithole today
Rammstein tidbit. Did you see the gigantic statue of a warrior wearing a winged helmet and pointing his sword to the sky? You see him briefly at the beginning of "Deutschland" video.
He's Arminius, son of a germanic chieftain taken hostage in Rome as a young child. Educated and military trained as a Roman, he came back to Germany as a trusted Roman cavalry officer. Taking advantage of his knowledge of the roman army tactics, he united the feuding germanic tribes and attracted 3 Roman legions in a deadly trap: the Teutoburg forest. Not being used to asymetric warfare, the legions were massacred. Arminius became king of the Germans. This is considered as the birth of Germania, the German nation. At the beginning of Rammstein's Deutschland video, you see a few Roman legionaires, survivors of the Teutoburg Battle.
That's not quite right. The beginning of the Rammstein video does not show the Romans during the Battle of Teutoburg (year 9 AD), but seven years later (Germanicus campaign). Legend has it that Arminius met his brother Flavius, who had lost an eye during the fighting in 16 AD, on the banks of the river Weser. You can see him in the video. Arminius returned to the Cherusci years earlier, while Flavius remained loyal to the Romans.
Although the Romans were successful, their losses were huge and they were unable to extend their influence. They decided to leave Germanica Magna - and they never came back. The Deutschland video refers to this story.

Germany have about 25.000 Castles and Palaces....
Big Ben in London, Statue of Liberty in N.Y., Eiffel Tower in Paris...
and in Germany it is the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin (symbol of German unity) 3:30
Neuschwanstein is the dream of a bavarian King who wanted a fairy tale castle in the 19th century. Very beautiful but not quit a Symbol for germans as a whole😊
@DasTeufelswerkNeuschwanstein is boring "inside". Outside beautiful, but inside boring.
Kölner Dom oder Ulmer Münster?
The Brandenburg Gate is a worthy symbol because of its history. It was build as a symbol of liberty. After the French had taken the statue and then has been returned after the defeat of France, it became a symbol of victory. Then Germany was divided and the Gate was a Landmark at the border, so it became a symbol of unity after unification.
From the outside it is a rather humble Landmark, but the inner value carries more meaning than any aforementioned symbols. And non of the other symbols managed to travel to another country, that's badass. 😀

Germany has many castles, palaces, etc. This is because Germany emerged from many different entities such as, Counties, Duchies, Principalities, Margraviates, Prince-Bishopricswhere etc. the rulers of each entities had such magnificent buildings constructed to showcase their power.
What many kingdoms? There was the Holy Roman Empire which was an empire and there was more or less just one actual kingdom in it - Bohemia. All the other king titles belonged to the Emperor. The Holy Roman Empire had many territories - especially a lot of knightly estates - with no lord between the owners and the Emperor, that's why some of the later maps look a bit chaotic. But every big empire in Europe had a bunch of small estates, most of them just had some duke or archbishop ruling over them, so we don't show them on maps as their own territories but just as part of the bigger ones.

If you consider that about 85% of all the cities were just ruins after the 2nd World War and everything was rebuilt in the few years very often true to the original... what does that tell you about this country and the people in it?
Btw; the construction time for Cologne Cathedral was over 600 years!! On the other hand, it survived several direct bomb hits in the 2nd World War almost undamaged.
85 %? Thats not true. The most damages where in the west, north and north-west the middle, east, south-east and the south where not targeted very much. It shows where the industry where located at this time.
@@arnolsi Ok, I didn't know that Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Kiel, Lübeck, Frankfurt, Freiburg, and all the other cities are in the west.Someone must have slept too much at school!
@@arnolsi The south was bombarded to smithereens because the train lines down to the alps were considered a main target to prevent the Nazis from building their "Alpenfestung". (I'm living about 100km south of Munich and every time some new buildings are under construction they find old not detonated and in some cases still live air raid bombs. Friends of mine were evacuated in Augsburg over Christmas a few years ago because they found a 750kg bomb in the middle of the city and this thing could have levelled the whole city center of Augsburg. Here evacuations are not a rare thing but something we expect to experience every other year.
@@althelas They bombed the big cities and the industry. With 85 % we had no areas left with old cities showing in the video.
I live in the south-west and my city was not targeted.
@@arnolsi just because your city was lucky, dies it not mean all of them were lucky. My city was not big back then. It only was unfortunate to be along the train tracks leading to Salzburg and Berchtesgaden.Maybe it would have been lucky if the train tracks would have taken a different route, but we will never know.

But i guess the most public one is the "Brandenburger Tor" in berlin or the "Neuschwanstein castle" #Disney castle
Germany is amazingly beautiful! They are some skyscrapers in Frankfurt but every single village there is beautiful. They have thousands of castles. And it is pretty clean. I spend two years there . And have in mind the destructions of WWII and there all was rebuilt.
You are welcome🇩🇪 🍻🤘
Dear friend, in medivial times the castles were for the protection of the surrounding people, those paid in food and work for it. Part of the food stuff was put into the cellars of those castles and in emergencies the people fled into those castles and food was already there. Churches and monasteries were the nexus of learning and knowledge. If you can read and write you have a better standing and chances in the community. Also very often hospitals were led by monks and nuns. You can imagine, that people began to live close to those churches and monasteries. The inner parts of those churches were sanctuaries (hence the name) where people fled, when in danger. This is why churches often are at the centers of towns.
One city you enjoyed is Dresden, This city was destroyed by firebombs in WW II (Hey we started that darn war). After the reunite of Germany we all helped with money to recreate Dresden to its former glory. Most of us eldly ones are proud of what we achieved, not that we are GERMANS. With the help of the United States we rebuilt our country and nation and will always be thankful for it.
Oh I forgot. The palaces were mostly for representations and for the administrative part of every community.
You be safe man.

Yes indeed - Germany is a very special country. Rich by culture, architecture and nature.
But it gets even more overwhelming if you widen your prespective a little bit and have a look to Europe. Example? Last year I had a three week mobile home journey through the very northern part of the Iberian Peninsula, and this was also absolutely amazing: San Sebastián, Bilbao, Santiago de Compostela, Porto, Salamanca, Madrid, Saragossa and many many more. And if you compare European area's size with North America - well, nothing more to say.
As a German I always say: I'm so gifted to live in an area that rich as Europe. And we are fighting for this area against people who want to retreat into their little shells. If they won, it would be an immeasurable loss.
10:26 - 11:13 is my home town Munich.
"Look at this" is the "Neue Rathaus" - new city hall. Fairly new buidling (in comparison to others), they started building it in 1867.
I come from Italy, where apparently everyone dreams to move and/or retire to.
I moved to Germany 26 years ago.
Never regretted it.
Having worked in Frankfurt, I can tell you there are skyscrapers there.
The 13 tallest buildings in Germany are located in Frankfurt.
In fact, Frankfurt has been nicknamed "Mainhattan" ("Manhattan on the river Main") due to its skyline.
5:45 this is Rothenburg on der Tauber. Beautiful historical tiny town or more village in Northern Bavaria, well known for its middle age looks. Also quite touristy.
And as others habe already mentioned, Germany got its ugly sides. 😂 Even my hometown which is quite popular tourist spot as well.
But I guess every country in this world got both, a beautiful and ugly sides.
We unfortunately also do have quite a few ugly cities that were completely destroyed during WW2 and then quickly rebuilt with a focus on having shelter/infrastructure and not a focus on beauty. Every year there are still about 5000 undetonated bombs found so it’s not irregular to get evacuated while while they defuse it. Last year they found one under my school’s courtyard where it could have gone off at anytime in the last 78 years, killing all 1200 students and 100 staff…. But except for those bombs, generally there are always many beautiful places in your nearer surroundings so it’s ok even if you live in an ugly city
…Sounds like Kiel…😂
It‘s honestly kind of startling because in a lot of cities you have almost a very clear line where the charming old town /Altstadt (usually the old city centre) ends and the ugly concrete block architecture of post war times begins 😅 Also, not shown here, but a lot of operational churches here (at least in the north) do not look like that, either you have very tiny old chapels or concrete block 70‘s style churches that look devoid of hope 😂
@@ginster458 true, many of the churches that had to be built when the birth of the baby boomers massively increased the population, are really ugly and unnecessarily minimalist.
Gießen for example or Leverkusen are very ugly Cities or Frankfurt/Oder or Duisburg.
Did you know that the Eiffel Tower was built by the son of a German who made his name sound more French for economic reasons? He also designed the Statue of Liberty. Europe has a common history. Today's borders are just a snapshot. We belong together.
I feel like they could have put more from the beautiful Island on the seaside of Germany in there. The cliffs, dunes and beautiful sand beaches :D

Many greetings from Germany to all of you. If you don't live here, come and have a vacation with us, you'll be thrilled😎
Great reaction and its nice that you like the architecture in Germay. You can find many different styles from many historical periods.
You mentioned how well and clean many of the castles and churches looked. The reason for that is quite sad. The original buildings are up to 2200 years old, but almost all of them had to be restaurated not that long ago. Big cities in Germany like Berlin or Dresden were heavily destroyed in air raids - over 90% of the buildings were demaged or completely destroyed. I'm very glad, that after the war the government tried to restore as much of the historical monuments as possible.
This is btw the most known German national monument: 2:02 (Brandenburger Tor - it was build in 1788 and after reunification of east and west germany it became the symbol of unification, after it was part of the "Berlin Wall" before)
And imagine, how Germany would look like today If it wasn't bombed away during ww2 ^^ Thinking of my hometown: there we're over 1.500 (yes!!!) half-timbered houses, at this time the City with the most half-timbered houses in whole Germany! Very shortly before the end of the war, over 90% of the city was destroyed by the dropping of phosphorus bombs (which were already banned at the time) and the resulting devastating firestorm. The phosphorus bombs were deliberately used in this city because the whole framework “burned so beautifully” and the fire could spread so quickly and cause the greatest possible destruction. Of the beautiful old half-timbered houses (around 1,000 small and medium-sized and around 500 large ones), exactly 92 remain, which are located in different districts of the city. So the whole character and the beautiful medieval flair of the city is lost forever... 😢😢😢
18:52 we do have scyscrapers in Frankfurt. The City of the Banks
Germany is beautiful and worth a trip. Hamburg is a great place with its spoke city that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Hafencity, the Elbphilharmonie (concert hall), the Miniatur Wunderland.
even for me as a German this Video melt my heart, its just breathtaking...this video make me cry...its just disappointing everyone around the world asociates Germany with the WW2 and every single German regrets the WW2, but Germany is much more than this... Germany is full of History... In Germany we have around 25000 Castles... that means we have more Castles in Germany than McDonalds in the US

The German Statue of Liberty is the Hermannsdenkmal, the statue with the raised sword. The statue represents how the Germanic tribes drove the Romans out of the country in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD. Greetings from Germany 😊
7:58 - 10:05 is Dresden, was completly destroyed in WW2. At Frauenkirche they left a piece of rubble from the church tower on the forecourt as a reminder.
I've already seen baroque inner cities, but this concentration on the banks of the Elbe is breathtaking. From the train station you first go through the communist-style pedestrian zone and then into the baroque part. The contrast is amazing and beautifully restored.
I'm German and can tell you we have also urgly and/or dirty areas. This are the tourist hot spots not the whole country looks like out of a fairy tale.
Nevertheless, Germany is the cleanest country in the world.

"castles" may be fortresses, palaces, etc, and also including many well preserved and many that are in ruins. but if you run out of castles, you can start on 25000 catholic churches, 25000 protestant churches, and 2500 others (mosques, synagogues, temples, etc)
15:03 I think every German knows this castle very well, because a very famous Cinderella movie from the 1970s was filmed here. It is shown again and again at Christmas time. For us Germans, "Three Nuts for Cinderella" is simply part of Christmas.
"Germany" and architectural monuments. (The faithful reconstruction and preservation of these "architectural treasures" devours enormous amounts of money and is like a "black hole"). A development over many centuries that actually spread throughout EUROPE. Already 2000 years ago, thanks to the "Roman Empire" (starting from Italy), culture and architecture spread across many European countries and continued to develop in the Middle Ages and later age. For their own protection, many built small principalities and kingdoms, castles, palaces and villages. Through many wars, new "empires" (states) emerged again and again, which demonstrated their power through tremendous architectural art.
During the Second World War, a lot of things were destroyed in strategically important regions of Germany. (Most of the "original architecture" can still be found in the then very rural "southern German and northern German regions").
Unfortunately, these days “big cities” look pretty similar all over the world, and this also applies to Germany.
Ive been to Germany, and what i saw of it was beautiful; however, this was back in 1967 on a boat tour up the Rhine. Basically, all we saw were castles (no stops along the way) until we got to Cologne, where we toured a beautiful cathedral and bought some pastries! The next day we left for Holland so my trip through Germany was a little disappointing, but i was 17 so just being there was exciting.
Many thanks for the impressive pictures from Germany.
Great reaction! 👍
Please be sure to check out pictures of Cologne Cathedral! 🤩
>> Cologne Cathedral is one of the largest cathedrals in the Gothic style. Its construction was begun in 1248 and not completed until 1880. Some art historians have described the cathedral as a "perfect cathedral" because of its uniform and balanced design. At 157.4 meters, it is the second tallest sacred building in Germany after Ulm Minster and the third tallest in the world.
The cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1996 and is one of the most visited sights in Germany.
My friend from US. It looks like you love my country and Rammstein aswell...

Oh thank you so much for the representstion of my home country for 61 years . We need people like you for coming back to our roots ,because many is running now wrong in this old germany.
As a German, I'm very pleased that you like the pictures so much. But the video is also really great, it gave me goose bumps. 😅
4:09 - Cologne dome which they started to build on 15. August 1248 - not completed but opened 1880 !
5:58 - Rothenburg ob der Tauber - too small to be targeted by the US Airfore - hence not destroyed !!
8:00 - 8:45 Dresden - totally destroyed by an air raid on 13/14 th Feb 1945 - fully rebuilt since then !!!
10:10 : Fulda - the old catholic dome
10:13 : Dome of Limburg
11:34 : Hamburg with its new Elbphilamonie ( concert house on an old deep freezer warehouse basement ! ) - next to Miniatur Wunderland !!
14:00 : Aachen with the throne of the first german emperor Karl dem Großen -
14:07 - my hometown Flensburg with its Navy academy - and my famous school on the top of the height ! Most northern town in Germany next to Denmark !
14:49 - Bonn University from 1818
14:55 : Goslar - the Pfalz ( homet to the travelling emperors during their journeys through Germany by HORSE ! )
15:04 : Moritzburg near Dresden - Fun castle of August dem Starken !!
15:12 : Binz on the coast of the Baltic Sea
15:24 : Rügen with its chalk coast
16:44 : Ratzeburg with the town on the Island
In most of the castles people still live but have to make sure tourists come and pay for visit - a castle is expensive !!
ofc there is garbage around - you will find it when you visit Germany !!
20:41 : Passau - the town ot the 3 rivers - 20:59 inside the church ..
The reason everything looks so neat and nice is partly due to building regulations. In Germany it is not allowed to simply use checkerboard roof tiles or green roofs.
I am glad that you saw this video..many greetings from germany❤
The music is from the "1864" movie battle theme.... the war between Danmark and Germany. The location was near the Dybbol mill, next town was Sonderborg. The mill got destroyed 2 times, but the battlefields and the rebuild mill are a national monument today.
Danmark lost a lot of his country to Germany in the battle.
Sonderborg is only 100 km away from the German border and all towns and villages I drove trough, are pretty and very clean...
The city of Karlsruhe is also called the Fecher city because the streets spread out from the castle 🏰 like a Fecher. However, you don't see any of it today.
My Hometown 🤩
It's time for you to take a vacation in Germany. You can travel around the country and go to a Rammstein concert. 😉😂
First of all - greetings from germany ^^Of course you are warmly invited to visit, explore and discover our country :) glad you liked this little "tour" :D
You should definitely visit Germany at least once, it's feels like walking thru history with all those amazing buildings all around
We visited the Schwerin castle in 2019 is was stunning. Hi from Denmark
I am glad that I was born and will die in this beautiful Germany. And since 1990, East Germany has been added.
In the video there is hardly anything to be seen of the national park "Harz" and "Wadden Sea".
Amrum is a small island. One of 7 islands in Lower Saxony.
Amrum WOW

I'm mad that the Porta Nigra isn't shown :,)
This is my beautiful home country , I love Germany ❤
If you like model trains then you have to go to Hamburg, they have the largest model railway in the world and is still growing, now one of the most famous cathedrals is the Köln Cathedral over 600 years old, they started building it around 1250 and it was not even finished and they started renovation on it, I have lived in Germany for 42 years and they finished the damage from WW2 just a few years ago, there are so many historical buildings in Germany you need a life time to see them all, you see the Kölner Dom three or four times in this Video, but when you watch old war films you see the cathedral standing there, in every city has a beautiful church or Castle, if you come over make a plan of where you want to go, if you start in Berlin then Lübeck and a short trip to Hamburg, from there south to Köln, if you say maybe 2 to 3 days per city then you get the main stuff covered, so you need around 2 months 😅😂 maybe not but enough cash, shopping is cheaper than the USA, but petrol prices are 2 to 3 times higher, sorry swings and roundabouts. Anyway ENJOY.
A patreon already sent me the link hahaha, lets just say - I was stunned.
@ReactionsbyD Miniatur Wunderland holds several Guinness Book Records.Playing music with a train? check😂
I just love the fact that in Germany we can touch history... I live near Trier in southwestern Germany and there are buildings like the Porta Nigra the black gate, build by the roman empire over 1800 years ago...and you can still walk throught it
In my Homeregion you can See relicts even from Celtic and roman era.
The Land of Rammstein ; )
Ramstein with one M is the largest U.S. air base outside the U.S. and a suburb of my hometown Kaiserslautern. However, I find the band with 2 M to be 🤮

Watch the Video “This is Germany” with CC. Then you’ll have Subtitles to Buildings and Places.
I love my country ❤🔥
Yes you're right about old Bulidings in Germany, let's take the first Castle for example it's a rather new Buliding it was build in 1869. The Porta Nigra ( Black Gate) was build by Romans in 170 ad.
To be honest, most of what you see there was destroyed by the allies at the end of ww2 and got reconstructed after.
I lived in Germany for awhile and the only disappointment I have was the 74 Lincoln I shipped over would have needed all the suspension replaced to handle the high speeds and it was probably to big to easily navigate many of the small village roads, sold it at the port. My son was born there as well.
Your son being born at the port. How often does that happen? Probably only once.
@@houghi3826 Actually I meant in Germany, Hamelin to be exact which is way cooler.
Autobahn and a 74 Lincoln 😂
@@arnodobler1096 Yea a 15 year old car from the US and autobahn would not have mixed well with older suspension parts probably. Anyway it was the customs people that would not release it until it had new parts, An older German man bought it and stretched it.
PIKE A COUNTRY IN EUROPE AND IT IS AMAZING. THEY ALL AMAZING. !!!!
I am german and What I should say? We Got a lot of history..... 😊❤
Thank you for liking the pictures of my country so much. Perhaps you really would like to visit us sometime. You could probably tour the whole of Germany without even having to book a hotel room. Just let us know which city you want to visit and I'm sure there will be some fans who will give you a place to stay. For my part, I would be happy to invite you to Nuremberg/Bavaria for a few days, including a visit to all the sights (and Nuremberg and the surrounding area have a lot to offer). Just let me know or keep an eye out for Schreibservice Tischer :-).
Model trains are huge in Germany. When you come over, be sure to visit an exibition or museum. There's some amazing miniature landscapes to be found.
If you're into trains you need to check out the "Miniatur Wunderland" in Hamburg!
At 15:49 you could see the timber frame houses of my home town, (Hann.) Münden. There are several little towns with similar architecture in that area. Always worth a visit!
This timber frame houses here everywhere in Nordhessen. It is normal here in small towns. Sometimes japanese or chinese people work around and make pictures from this small or big houses.
I think Germany is one of the most underrated countries in Europe as a travel destination. Many people know it as an economic power, orderly, correct and clean. The very different landscapes from the flat land by the sea to the big mountains in the Alps, there are many different areas.
The fact that Germany was not high on the list of travel destinations in the past probably has to do with its history (both world wars). In the meantime, however, it has become clear that Germany no longer has anything to do with the country that brought so much suffering to the world around 65-75 years ago. Germany is becoming more and more popular as a travel destination.
Yepp,especially for immigrants!
@haraldsuess … Gut erklärt und auf den Punkt gebracht!
