- One of our rescue dogs, Suby, was sadly diagnosed with Diabetes at the age of 9 on March 13, 2024. We created a "Channel Membership" and "Buymeacoffee" where the donations will go directly toward her treatment. The beginning is the expensive part, finding the right dosage and adjusting her diet.

The woman saying "Grüß Gott and Pfiat di" is Hayley Alexis! She is an US youtuber living several years in germany. Now back in the US for private reason and it seems she is still missing germany 😅
Germany is a very diverse country. In the past, the country was a patchwork, divided into (at least) dozens of kingdoms and principalities. This even goes back to ancient times, when Germany was divided into many Germanic and Celtic tribes. Each part of Germany has its own dialect, sometimes the dialect changes noticeably after about 20-30 kilometers.
A small example:
“Unsinn reden (talking nonsense)” would be translated as “Blödschnacken” in Hamburg, “Dummschwätza” in Swabia, “Bledsinn redn” in Bavaria and “Gwadderaddatsch erzähln” in Saxony. These are completely different words that all express the same thing. For this reason, High German was introduced as the standard language at some point.
Every part of Germany has its own culture, that's why Germans don't like it when someone says they all wear lederhosen and eat white sausages, only Bavarians do that. And lederhosen are only worn on special occasions, but only by people who like the traditional, the rest wear normal clothes, we are no longer in the Middle Ages ;-)
We Germans are something very special, it's worth taking a closer look at the individual regions, each has its own qualities.
13:31 no, the German word is Torte. But in English they borrowed the French word Gâteau
7:51 he WAS asked to explain it precisely.
The name of the region Franken (Franconia), just like France and the name Frank, comes from the Germanic tribe of the "Franks".
... die witziger Weise aus der Gegend des heutigen Belgien stammen.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezer nicht so ganz. Die Franken waren eine Tribe Vereinigung aus unterschiedlich aelteren Tribes (primaer aus dem Norddeutschen Raum (wo uebrigens auch Proto-Germanen entstanden (die dann u.a. nach Skandinavien expandierten - nicht etwa umgekehrt. Solche Wanderungen kamen spaeter). Die Franken verbreiteten sich in verschiedenen Fragmenten ueber Nord-West Deutschland/Niederlande/Belgien (bei den letzten nicht etwa weil sie von daher kommen, sondern weil sie sich auch auf der 'roemischen Seite' dann etablierten (dort dann erst bekannter wurden). Ihr Basisgebiet beim Frankischen Reich (Austrasien) hatte Aachen exakt im Center - was auch u.a. der Grund fuer Karl den Grossen (falsch Charlemagne uebersetzt - das ist im Englischen schlecht, da es Geschichte unnoetig verzerrt) war die Stadt als Basis zu betrachten.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezerDie ursprünglichen Stämme aus denen die Konföferation der Franken (sinngemäß: "Die Freien", also die aus dem nicht-römischen Germanien; etwa vom heutigen Hessen bis zum Ruhrgebiet) entstand, waren rechts des Rheins ansässig; zum Beispiel die Sugambrer oder Sigambrer, die rund um den Fluss Sieg siedelten. Erst später drang diese Stammeskonföderation auf römisches Territorium vor, unter anderem in die Provinz Belgica.
3:40 You can find some kind of "Tracht" all over Germany, different in each region and sometimes from village to village. Those are not working clothes, but Sunday and holiday dresses; they are uniform within a village, because that made it cheaper to produce (buying cloth and appliances en gros) and it also strengthened a sense of belonging if rich and poor wore largely the same (exempt maybe some appliances) at Sundays and at celebrations. Often dresses were designed to last for a whole live, allowing for pregnancy with some minor adjustments, signaling partnership and mothership status by appropriate applications and head dresses, and they could also be bequested from grandmother to granddaughter or grandfather to grandson. The Lederhosn however started out as working trousers for forest workers, was then ousted by loden cloth and only used by aristocratic hunters at the start of the 19th century. But in the 1880s a teacher in Bavaria started with some friends a "Trachtenverein" (association for preserving traditional clothing), and they asked a local leather artisan to make them such trousers. By the locals they were ridiculed, but as the Bavarian king heard of it, he backed them up, and because he was in need of national symbols (since Bavaria had annexed wide regions after the Napoleonic wars), the Bavarian government started to propagating such "Trachtenvereine", and many villages started to use Lederhosn instead of loden trousers. In Swabia however leather trousers were mostly worn only by kids, before being replaced by jeans.
4:40 Oktoberfest started as anniversary of the Royal wedding of Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria with princess Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen, while the Cannstatt Volksfest started as accompanying program to an agricultural fair established by King Wilhelm of Württemberg as part of agricultural reforms after the famines caused by the "year without summer" after the Tambora eruption in 1815.
9:00 Like the name of France "Franconian" refers to the Germanic tribes of the "Franks" (which literally meant "the free"), who originally settled in the region now known as Netherlands and Belgium. One group went out to conquer the Roman province of Gaul in the West, while the other expanded to the South along the Rhine valley and then to the Southeast along the Main valley. Dutch is (mostly) Low Franconian; the "middle" Franconian dialects include Ripuarian (along the middle Rhine), Moselle Franconian, Lorraine Franconian, Luxembourgish, the Palatinate and the Hessian dialects, while East Franconian (somewhat influenced by Thuringian and Bavarian) is spoken in the North of Bavaria.
Max, you remind me of Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Greetings from Germany
He's my grandfather.
8:58 yes, the two terms are related. The name of France does go back to the ancient people of the Franks, just like the name of Frankonia.
My dear friends, todays Germany was for thousands of years, where different peoples marched through, like the Germans, Allemans, The Romans, even the Huns and a lot of others. After WW II Germany was supervised by the victors, like USA, Britain, Russia and France. All of those left behind cultural influences.
Be well.

I live near the boundary of southwest german boarder in the state Baden- Würtemberg (Basel, Switzerland). They speak Swabian german and swiss and austrian people understand it. Dirndl and Lederhosen traditional costumes only used in occasions, celebrations like Oktoberfest. I speak german and i understand their german accent in Baden-Würtemberg and Bavaria state. I like the southern part of germany because it is where the german alps located.
Trust me (ok, thats not easy): with that amount of Käsespätzle you can feed two people. I get proof 😄
3:33 NO! It’s absolutely not a common thing in Germany to wear traditional clothes! They only wear these Trachten on certain occasions
Definitely not here in the north. I have seen dirndels many times in Bavaria. Lederhosen are more likely to be worn at events.
2:04 Constance is the French name of the German city Konstanz. The name Konstanz actually comes from the Latin Constantia
8:56 France was named after the Germanic tribe of the „Franks“. The Franks also lived in parts of Franconia/Franken although their main settlement area was a bit more west, so the name might be a bit misleading
Funny you should mention the cultural cleavages between Québecquois and Anglo-Canadians. We had something similar in Germany for centuries along the lines of religion, a cultural divide between the protestant north and the catholic south. Essentially starting with the reformation in the early 1500s, there were centuries of wars after wars until the War of 1866 which in effect settled it with the victory of (protestant, northern) Brandenburg-Prussia over (southern, catholic) Austria-Hungary and an alliance of mostly southern German countries (yes: countries! - sovereign Kingdoms, Duchies and Free Cities).
Servus Prost Greetings from Bavaria
1:21 not really. All of them spoke Standard German just like the people in the other video did. If the people would actually still speak their dialects, then that would be two different worlds
13:29 Only this one state "Baden-Württemberg" was seperated into 3-
Germany was for the longest time divided into HUNDREDS of Kingdoms. That's why there is over 20 000 castles. Every other city is completely different.
Look at a german map of 1400 A.D.
Every single blob is it's own sovereign "nation"
No, it's not... There were always laws of the empire, which had to be followed...
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Depends on the time. The HRE in general was just a conglomeration of different kingdoms and duchies.
Very broadly speaking a little like the EU.
Just because you agree to something doesn't mean you lose your whole sovereignity
@@Skyl3t0n I didn't even say that. But anyone who ignored the imperial laws as a prince, or even just as a knight, could fall under the "imperial ban" and be declared an outlaw. This meant that anyone could kill you without being held accountable. In addition, an imperial army could be set up to overthrow the violator by force. All in all, the sovereignty of the imperial princes was significantly limited if they did not want to become hostile to the emperor. Personally, I live in an area that used to be “Reichsimmediate”. For centuries we had no master except the emperor. And we provided a cavalry detachment in case an imperial army was formed. We have always bred good horses. This tradition continues to this day, albeit in a slightly different version. We now breed Trakehners. Prussian cavalry horses that were once at home in East Prussia...
You wondered if "gateau" really is a German word for cake. Maybe in the Saarland, which is close to France, and in the "high cuisine" French terms are used, but among regular people, it's not the language you want to learn. English of course, and Spanish (because of the island of Mallorca), these two languages are very popular.
But back to the cake. German has two words: The Schwarzwälder Kirsch is a Torte (Caution, fake friend! Don't mistranslate it as "tart".), it's a creamy thing with a soft dough, a rich filling, usually containing lots of crème*, whereas the Kuchen is a dry thing with no filling, maybe sugar-coated or, as some luxury, chocolate-glaced, but that's about it. It is easy to make (even I can do that although I'm not a baker), has cheap ingredients, and lasts longer than the creamy things. You bake a small cake on a Sunday, you have breakfast for the entire week.
*: My Second Self told me that when I choose to write in French, I should also use the accent. Hope it was the right one.
Yes, Crème is the correct spelling :) Good job!
Fun fact officially the pastry is called Berliener-Pfannkuchen
So the wrongest word u could use is krapfen 😅 at least in my opinion
Today the Franks are only a part of Bavaria but in the Middle Ages the Franks were a european superpower. The Frankish empire consisted of France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, half of Italy and some Slavic areas. LG
And Spain, till the Ebro river...
I'm from Berlin, we're known for our politeness, but people from Bavaria and Austria, especially in rural areas, are generally warm people, but if you're talking about Munich and Nuremberg, they are very aggressive and have a racist, aggressive police force. Please forget Baden-Würtenberg it's the melting point of all evil. They would let you die of thirst if you didn't pay for water. Evil to the power of 3. just my experience?
Und da ist es wieder bayrisch bayrisch bayrisch😮 ich kann es nicht mehr sehen Deutschland ist nicht Bayern😮🤮🤣
Ähm... Bayerisch, nicht bayrisch...
Was für eine Einsteinsche Gedankenleistung deinerseits! Sie haben für alle 4 Himmelsrichtungen Beiträge gemacht und diesmal ging's eben um den Süden. Was sollte in einem Video über Süddeutschland denn bitte sonst vorkommen als Bayern und BaWü (um letzteres ging's in dem Video nämlich auch, falls dir das entgangen sein sollte)? Sachsen? Schleswig-Holstein? Niedersachen? Das ist wohl die typische Arroganz der Nichtbayern: Ohne Ahnung dumm Daherzureden - Hauptsache man kann über BY oder sonstwen herziehen. 🤮
