  • Seriously though. Do NOT call them German.
    YES I REALIZE I accidentally said "Hungary" at 5:18 when I said "Yugoslavian states" and Hungary was NOT part of Yugoslavia, I meant to say former "EMPIRE States!" I fixed it up with an annotation, I'm not going to Re-upload the entire video for a 2 second voiceover mistake. ALSO at 8:32 the Czech flag was upside-down.

      @105686269325623589958 Salzburg was part of the Holy Roman Empire when Mozart was born. So some people think he was German. It's all nonesense anyways. BUT it's a fact that Austria doesn't claim Beethoven.

      I'll admit that "independent" wasn't the right choice of words, but Salzburg was its own nation from 1328 to 1803 (during the time mozart was born), but it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire.
      Salzurg became the Habsburgs property in 1803 and part of the Austrian Empire in 1805.
      It was then taken over by Bavaria in 1810 and reunited with Austria in 1816.
      BTW I'm Austrian too.

Austrians distance from Germany because there are a lot of cultural differences and they are simply not the same. Love-hate relationship I would say.

    Lower Austria is called lower Austria, because in the middle ages austria was divided in "Österreich ob der Enns" and " unter der Enns", which translates to "Austria above the (River) Enns" and "under the (River) Enns". So Upper Austria is called "Upper" because its situated over the River and Lower Austria because its situated lower the Enns.

    • @simonweiguny
      @simonweiguny 3 года назад +4

      Oh well, and I thought it had something to do with the fact, that in former times maps were not oriented to the north, but to the east... so upper austria had been placed to the upper side of the (hand drawn) map and lower austria was on the lower side on the map...

    • @EternalWordMinistry
      @EternalWordMinistry 3 года назад +2

      I think what it is presumed in the much more concise explanation by Mathias, is that upper and lower was often determined by the flow of the river, since water always flows downwards. In this specific case the River Danube flowing from west to east, the river Enns as a contributory river flowing from south to north, into the Danube forms the natural border of western/higher/ upper Austria from lower part of Austria along the river Danube.

    • @dermaniac5205
      @dermaniac5205 2 года назад +2

      This can be said about pretty much any region that uses lower or upper in the name (in German). Upper refers to higher altitude and lower refers to lower latitude (which then coincides with upstream/downstream of a river, since revers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation thanks to gravity)

    • @CaughtRedHanged
      @CaughtRedHanged 3 года назад +12

      Well in short to quote wikipedia: "The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called . The shorter Latinized name is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita)" and then turned to be the name giver for Australia. In the 90s some few postcards I sent back home, ended up in Australia, or sometimes, so I told them :-)

    • @thesmallestdaltonbrother2176

      it sounds almost the same because austria is not called austria. its österreich in german. there is no connection between austria and its true name. its just a mispronounced version.
      the name comes from ostreich, which directly translates to eastern kingdom.

    • @lifeofabronovich7792
      @lifeofabronovich7792 2 года назад +13

      Australia comes from the Latin "Terra Australis" meaning "Southern Land."
      Austria is an anglicization of the German "Österreich" meaning "Eastern Realm" (it's still called this in German today)
      So it's merely a coincidence that the two country's names are similar.

      It's a bit ironic to hear someone say how quiet the Austrian mountains are in winter, when that is the time of year when those mountains are the most crowded due to tourism.
      Though I guess it helps put things into perspective when what Austrians think of as a busy time is seen as quiet by our guests. :)

      @Prometheus _ meine Urgroßmutter wurde nach dem Krieg aus Böhmen verjagt.
      Meine Urgroßmutter war damals Hochschwanger, war ethnisch gesehen Deutsche, sprach aber nur gebrochenes Deutsch. Sie kam mit einem Koffer, ohne Mann (der fiel im Krieg) und mit 2 Kleinkindern und einem Ungeborenen in Wien an - alles andere musste sie zurücklassen.
      Gott Sei Dank fand sie eine Familie auf der Straße und erlaubte ihr in einer Wohnung zu schlafen, die sie nicht vermieten konnten, weil bis auf 2 Zimmer die Wohnung eingestürzt war (Bombentreffer)
      Einerseits mussten die Jahre für sie und ihre Kinder absoluter Horror gewesen sein, andererseits, wenn ich mir anschaue wie heruntergewirtschaftet das Dorf von den Kommunisten wurde und wie schrecklich zurückgeblieben die Gegend heute ist, bin ich froh dass die Tschechen, die sie als hochschwangere Witwe aus ihrem Haus und Dorf gejagt haben, heute in einem leblosen Dorf voller Bruchbuden leben müssen.

    The south tyrol thing was actually kind of different. Austria was a looser of WWI so south tyrol was TAKEN AWAY from Austria because of a secret treaty, the treaty of London. In this treaty the Entente promised Italy South Tyrol when they help them fight Austria, wich they did. They lost lots of other parts, the Sudetenland for example, where also most of the people spoke german.

    • @clemens379

      Italy had a tendency to switch sides in history, both in WW1 and in WW2. (They were part of the axis powers in WW2 and part of the "Dreibund" from 1892 until WW1, but switched sides later) And they got rewarded after WW1 by getting south tyrol. But nowadays, most south tyroleans don't want to go back to Austria because they got good deals from both countries, they can for example also use the health care system of austria in tyrol or if they study in austria, they are counted as austrians (which means higher quotas in comparison to EU-member states).

They weren’t allowed to learn german at schools and were treated as second class citizens which makes you wonder why Italy wanted South Tyrol in the first place

      @giuliopatruno7849 5 лет назад +3

      Le funny meme That is mostly true. Due to the dictatorship there was a strong attempt to italianize the land that partially succeded. Italy in the first place didn't want the whole Südtirol as it is historically called but longed for the Trentino which is the southern part of Tyrol and was/is inhabited mostly by italians. I guess we got the hole of it as a "consolation" from the allies since at the time Italy was far more interested in the dalmatian coast (with italian minorities) that we didn't get in the end

      @CaughtRedHanged 4 года назад

      well, if you would have spent decades in this country (no, I didn't grow up there so I know the difference), you start to realize it's a metaphor for Austrian culture, much more than the German "spazieren gehen" and the English "going for a walk". "Gemma spaziern", implies: "we don't talk face to face most of the time (aka confront our differences or even debate anything) and use the surroundings as inspiration for casual remarks (or are they strategic pointers well hidden?). Bottom line is: to get to know each other without admitting it (which having lunch/dinner/coffee etc kinda would).. It all seams casual but everyone is scanning verbal (and often nonverbal) information for subtext. A relaxed tolerance of complete ambivalence (some may want to call it a bit oportunistic:-) is key in Austria. There are no German or English words for "JeinJain" (the spectrum between yes and no). But there is an Austrian one: "Eh". And without understanding it connotations, being socially accepted may prove to be rather difficult.
