16:05... when the narrator told the tower was built around 1890 I thought "wow, that's quite new!", seconds before your comment "That's very old!". Talk about different perceptions of time between the "old world" and the "new world"! 😊 I love your videos. I hope you get to see that stuff with your own eyes. You deserve it! ❤❤
but thats a wrong perception. keep in mind that on one hand the US (and also Latin America) is relatively new, this does not mean 'brand new'. The oldest house in New York for instance is from 1652 (the Dutch Wyckoff House). Thats not medieval or ancient, but also not 19./20. century. apart from that, European originated Americans can see Europe with the same right also as their part of history (for obvious reasons). and actually people around the world who appreciate history and such old buildings have more in common than people who are not interested in that at all.
Many of these houses were built before europeans reached the americas. I live in a building from the 13th century. There's castles everywhere here, you'd get used to it after a while.
Germany hast so many little Towns and Citys there are amazing. But the big Citys are amazing too, Hamburg, Berlin and Munich are great and amazing and very different.
Greetings from Germany/Saarland. If you like Germany, Germans will always support you. In Germany we got manson, or stonemason constructers, that are trained to do it the old way to preserve it so it can be there as long as possible.
Easy to miss but in the vast majority of German cities, the roofs of houses have the same colour. Mostly red but not always. What you'll hardly ever see is a wild mixture of roof colours.
Rothenburg and Dinkelsbühl (both in the Franconian region in the Northwest of the state of Bavaria) as well as nearby Nördlingen (in the Swabian part of Bavaria) are medieval towns which were wealthy at the time, but lost importance and wealth during the troubled times of the 16th and 17th century (especially during the 30 Years' War, during which up to 2 thirds of the population in southern Germany as well as at the Baltic coast, in parts of Hesse and in Silesia perished). Since they were rather poor in the 18th and 19th century not much new buildings were erected in that time, and there was neither need nor money to demolish the city walls for developing new quarters, and at the end of the 19th century the romantic movement started to appreciate and to restore the historic buildings. 4:28 Not the best view of the Lindau island: at the left the Bavarian garrison erected after Bavaria had gained Lindau during the Napoleonic wars, separated from the old town by the old main railway station erected in 1853/1854 together with the railroad embankment connecting the island with the mainland. 4:55 Now we have the (former) garrison buildings in the foreground and the old town in the background. 8:15 The old town of Bamberg was heavily destroyed during WW II. After the war it was partly restored, but some old buildings were beyond repair, and there was no funding to rebuild them. Because it is spread over seven hills (like ancient Rome was), each crowned by a church, and was once a prince-bishopric, it is also called the "Franconian Rome". 9:15 Most of the architecture in Passau is not medieval, but erected after the big city fire of 1662 (the middle ages ended around 1400); for the reconstruction two Italian architects were hired who applied the southern Baroque style the city does show now. 11:20 Fritzlar (originally Friedeslar, old German for "lair of peace") was founded around 730 AD as an abbey by Saint Boniface, an English Benedictine monk and leading figure in the Anglo-Saxon mission of the Saxon and eastern Frankish parts of the Frankish empire (the region now known as northern and middle (West) Germany - East Germany was at the time still mostly Slavic and Thuringian). 11:45 Quedlinburg was the Easter Palace of the first kings of East Francia of Saxon descendent; since about 970 AD, during the reign of Otto the Great, who (re)founded the Holy Roman Empire, those kings were also known as "kings of Romans and Germans". The Holy Roman Empire had no fixed capital, and during medieval times the kings migrated from Imperial Palace to Imperial Palace, each used for a certain season of the year, thereby visiting regularly all parts of the empire. After WW II Quedlinburg was situated in the GDR (East Germany), and the Communist regime was not able to finance the preservation of the old town; only a few buildings were restored by experts from Poland. But there was also not enough money to demolish the historic town and to replace it with prefab buildings as planned by the regime in the 1960s. Only after reunification in 1990 large-scale renovation became possible. 14:05 Heidelberg was once the capital of the Palatinate of the Rhine. The castle or palace was erected then. But in 1685 Charles II, Elector Palatine, last of the Protestant House Pfalz-Simmern of the Wittelsbach dynasty, died without children. His distant cousin of Catholic House Pfalz-Neuburg of the same dynasty became his successor; but Charles' sister Elisabeth Charlotte (called Lieselotte von der Pfalz) was married to Louis XIV' brother Philippe I Duke of Orleans, and Louis XIV claimed in her name (but without her consent) certain rights, privileges and estates with the goal of annexing parts of the Palatinate; this started the 9 Years' War (also known as war of the Palatinate Succession) of France against an alliance of England, the Netherlands, Spain, Savoy and the Holy Roman Empire. During this war Heidelberg was twice occupied by French troops and the castle twice partly demolished. The residence moved therefore to the newly built city of Mannheim, and as during renovations of Heidelberg palace a lightning strike caused a fire in 1764, the palace was finally abandoned.
Bom Dia, you two DEARS. IF you visit our country, I and many others strongly recommend, that you take your time. Visit us every other year, if you can, stay at least for a week in one place and you will enjoy your journey greatly. Be safe you TWO. Elmar from Southern Germany
Germany undoubtedly has beautiful small towns and regions. But don't be fooled into thinking that the whole of Germany looks the same. We are a big industrial nation and so a lot of ugliness has also taken shape here. (I don't want to be a “nest-soiler”, but it's simply true).
Das im Video gezeigte Ramsau ist in der Nähe von Berchtesgaden. Also sehr wohl in Deutschland. In der Tat gibt es auch ein Ramsau am Dachstein in Österreich.

Greetings from Hamburg,and thanks for your wonderful REaction
Greetings from Germany from Marburg. The last city in your video. And yes, I love my hometown. 🤗

But the big Citys are amazing too, Hamburg, Berlin and Munich are great and amazing and very different.
Another great reaction from these two beutyfull people.❤❤
Greetings from Germany. Fyi my hometown was first mentioned in 1066. So for Germany relatively "young". =D Greetings to BRAZIL.
We have some of this architecture in Brazil in places with a big German immigrant diaspora (obviously not the castles).

Celle in Northern Germany and Rüdesheim am Rhein are two other beautiful cities
Wo sind die norddeutschen Städte? Deutschland besteht nicht nur aus dem Süden.
Denke ich mir bei jedem Video dieser Art auch immer ..
Fritzlar ist doch sehr im Norden
We have been many times in Cochem, really a stunning place.
I was a few weeks ago.

Where are Dresden, Münster, Lübeck, Würzburg?
Würzburg is so stunning

16:00 No, that is not old. It is not even 150 years old. By European standards this is rather recent building.
But why is in the first seconds of the video see the Rakotzbridge? The rounded Stonebridge? These stands in kromlau, in the east of saxony

Why dont you react to the new version of "This is Germany". I would love to see your priceless reaction
Bamberg my city
Im sad you always say first and third world, we are only one world, we all are humans and need to have love and respect for each

Ramsau is NOT in Germany, but in Austria!
It is extremely disrespectful to address Austria and Germany as one country in this context.
Das im Video gezeigte Ramsau ist in der Nähe von Berchtesgaden. Also sehr wohl in Deutschland. In der Tat gibt es auch ein Ramsau am Dachstein in Österreich.
Name the city Rammstein instead.Then we all know where its from ;)
@@wietholdtbuhl6168 I know, that there are some Villages named Ramsau in Germany. But the shown Ramsau is in Austria.
@@wolfgangholba6365 Sorry, aber das ist nicht richtig.
@wolfgangholba6365 ok
