The Spaghetti Ice cream was 'invented' by an Italian guy who moved to Germany and opened an ice cream parlor. It is usually made with vanilla ice cream though given it a more natural pasta colour, this may have been made using pistachio ice cream. Doesn't usually have 'meatballs' either as spaghetti with meatballs is not a dish that exists in Italy.
Did a long time ago :D Hugs from Denmark
4:40 - This is in former west german capital in the city of Bonn, specifically in the "Heerstraße" and "breite Straße". Apperently only a rumor, most people believed these cherrys were given to Germany by Japan after Germany's reunification in 1990, when supposedly they were planted ten years prior in 1980 as part of the city's attempt to redelovop the area.
12:07 - nope. Not anymore 🤣 The glass bursted like last year or the year before, I don't remember, but it was all over the news. 😅The whole Hotel and street was flooded, luckily noone got killed, except for the fish.😐
We’re flying out to Germany for the euros see ya soon beautiful German people . Cheers 🥃🇩🇪🥳
is this scotish? meet you on friday, dont miss the game if you visit a beergarden prior to that ;) afterwards for you or me will have to... ok, there's a reason then anyway.
Welcome, a good time.🥰
so how was munich? i was shopping between stachus and marienplatz at noon the day of the opening match and the scottish were in a really good mood (and probably a bit drunk since they all drank atleast one maß) appreciated you being there i had a good time with most of you
Love your Germany reaction vidoes
Thank you!
This fish tank did indeed burst.
We have those cherry trees in a pretty small town in the south,so,thank you Japan!
As a kid growing up I was led to believe that Germans had no sense of humour. This came mainly from my father, who fought against them in WW2. And in a wartime scenario, yeah, probably not. I'm sure the Germans thought the same about the British back then. But some of these photos show that the Germans do have a sense of humour. As for my father, that all changed when my best friend, a German, married my sister.
My Grandfather Robert (1.st Lieutenant in German Navy during the WW2) had this thought about the Brits (and he really hated the RAF because they bombed 1944 the city of Bremen and killed his beloved sister Lina and her husband Johann. Only their sixteen year old son Arthur survived the firestorm) and learned as a POW in England that he was false. Hate or Ignorance is never a good teacher for Life. After the war many of his best friends were ex- british soldiers and formally enemies.
A 'German' joke, (though it's about the German people, not neccesarily originating from them.)
A German couple have a baby: a little boy, and are really happy. Unfortunately over the coming years they realise there is a problem, when their little boy doesn't talk.
They arrange various medical and psychological tests for him, but to no avail, and eventually have to face the possiblity that he'll never actually communicate verbally.
Then one day, when their son is about nine years old, they serve up a meal, that is somewhat overcooked. Their son takes one look at it, and declares: "I'm not eating this!"
Both parents are amazed and overjoyed to hear their son finally speak. But they're puzzled why it has taken him so long to get to this point, so his mother asks: "But son, why have you never said anything before?" to which the boy replies: "Well up until now, everything has been satisfactory".
A 'German' joke, (though it's about the seriousness and efficiency of the German people, not neccesarily originating from them, - though German comedian Henning Wehn seemed to appreciate it, and not be offended at all)

He might be the exception. As a real German i defenetly know that we haven t any kind of Humor. Just beleave me ... *lol
The German sense of humour must be taken very seriously.
Graves in Germany usually have a flower bed in front of the gravestone. Relatives visit the grave regularly to take care of them and often replant them seasonally.
Thanks for sharing!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow What makes this unique is that the watering cans don't get stolen. People even use ones from others, but then they put them back.
@@Peter_Cetera Hardly unexpected, since the video says that people padlock their own watering can to the frame.
@@DaveBartlett It's also very uncommon (I've never seen it) to lock the can in any way....
@@Peter_Cetera same…must be a major city. In neither the village I lived before (850 inhabitants), or the small town I live in now ( ca 8000) we have any reason to padlock watering cans.
The graveyard has 3 or 4 hanging around to be used next to the bike racks and green Biomüll (organic bin)…
I should hope our society hasn’t fallen as low as someone trying to steal a watering can from the cemetery….good lord!
I went to Germany in march we stayed in Cologne it was amazing. We visited a theme park called phantasia land. We are definitely going back! Germany the uk love you xx
Yes, the aquarium broke two years ago. In 2020 it had been completely overhauled after 15 years of usage. Still, material fatigue let to the acrylic breaking, flooding the hotel with 1 million liters of water (264172 gallons) and 1500 large and small fishes of all kinds, most of whom did not survive. It was called AquaDom. It will not be rebuilt. Instead, the hotel decided to build a "lving tree" a garden in the form of a giant tree, reaching up to the top of the hotel.
I grew up in Germany as my dad served in the military and we were based there. A country I was proud to call home for 15 years and I miss it everyday ❤
Peter from Germany: Dear ladies, I'm happy that you like Germany so much. But I have to tell you that our neighboring countries are no less resourceful. Every country has its peculiarities. Please come to Europe for a longer period of time and see for yourself.
Ladies that Wheelchair swing. Is the best thing I've seen for years. Well done 👍 Germany 🇩🇪.
I actually think that's the best thing I've seen, for ages. Well done Germany 🇩🇪.👍🙏❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇩🇪🇩🇪🏴
Cherry blossoms in the picture shows the Heerstrasse, Bonn, NRW, Germany.
Do you don'T have green or red pasta in the US? Green colored with spinach, red with beetroot?
And the Ice cream is green because the customer wanted pistachio ice (our ice-cream is what americans call Gelato (or something like that) ).
Traditional Spagetti-Ice Cream is : First sweet whipped cream topped with Vanilla ice pressed through an Spagetti maker topped with strawberry sauce (simulating the Tomato sauce) and white chocolate flakes (simulating the parmesan cheese).
Invented in Mannheim, Germany by an Italian Ice-Cream shop owner who wanted to make a funny ice for kids (that combines the best known foods of Italy - Pasta and Gelato).
Coloured pasta, yes. But NEVER green Spagetti ice!
Over here in Stuttgart, the ice cream parlor closest to me went all the way: They have spaghetti ice cream, either as 'tomato' (with red berry sauce) or 'carbonara' (with vanilla sauce and ruby chocolate flakes). They also have lasagna ice (pressed sheets of icecream interspersed with whipped cream and red berry sauce), as well as ice pizza (basically a vanilla ice cream bed spread out on the round plate, covered with red berry sauce and several small-sized chunks of ice cream and/or fruit & chocolate).
@@Peter_Cetera Why not? I would try it
@@dennishonecker5960 Only because it looks strange... I don´t eat green pasta as well...
@@Peter_Cetera Durum wheat semolina and maybe eggs too are supposed to be in pasta.
But Spaghetti ice? Just choose. I haven't tried the green version yet but I think that could be really nice. Instead of vanilla
pistachio sounds really good to me. Don't be afraid of colors😉Who knows how my life would change if I wouldn't hate pink. Arg, no I don't wanna know 😅
the cherry blossoms are not everywhere bute also not just in one place. the picture shows Bonn, but I live in Berlin and we have a lot of cherry blossomed streets here as well.
and yeah, the aquarium broke one and a half years ago. also, the electric highway thing isn't catching on.
the graveyard can rack is typical german because... who tf LOCKS watering cans? why not just share?
spaghetti ice is the best thing to eat, ever. 99% of the time it's vanilla icecream mixed with frozen whipped cream, strawberry sauce (for the bolo) and white chocolate sprinkles (for the parm). this picture is misleading. we don't eat green spaghetti.
Thank you!!
I agree, the Spaghetti Ice looks a bit odd. Usualy you make it from Vanilla Icecream, on top you pour Strawberry sauce instead of whole Strawberries and garnish it with white chocolate shavings. Yummie
Germany, you are amazing!! ❤ 'd everything in this video. 😘
Love you Germany!
Me too. Allerdings bin ich Deutscher. 😁
I agree with Debbie about ice cream! I’ve been to Germany and there are plenty of interesting things to see. Keep up the interesting shows.
I remember the Spaghetti ice cream (Spaghettieis) frpm from time spent in Germany as a child when my dad served in the British Army, it was delicious (think the green glass in the photo makes the ice cream green but it is not).
Uhm actually the Italian Eisdiele were I live has diffrent "noodles". We have classic (vanilla), whole flour (hazelnut) and green noodles (pistachio) server with strawberry sauce or "cabonara" with vanilla sauce. 😂😂😂 They offer Pizza ice, too. Vanilla base with strawberry sauce and fruit toppings. White chocolate shavings as cheese.
Yes that aquarium actually broke, it happend at Seaworld in Berlin, where I'm from, it was quite sad. But on a more positive note, I love your interest in German culture and hope you can visit sometime 🤍
Didn't they build it better
you should react to ,,this is Germany`` or ,,Cologne Cathedral - History of a German Gothic masterpiece`` lovee you ;)
great video, interesting to watch. Germany is so cool.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a different idea .. l enjoyed it Germany 🇩🇪 has a lot of cool stuff .
The Bridge u saw also known as devils bridge is locadet in germany saxony (Sachsen) Kromlau to be more exact
And people are not allowed to walk on it but they often climb over the fence, like the guy in the photo. Boo.
the ice cream is "green" because the plate is green and the lighting is strange
normaly the "classic" version of this ice is:
Vanilla ice as "noodles"
Strawberry sauce as "tomato sauce"
and white chokolate as "parmesan"
but there are many iterations of this ^^
I wouldn't be to sure about the "green 'cause green plate" thing , there is a Waldmeister-Spaghetti-Eis-Version. ^^
@@BR618 Oh well, you are right, could also be that, just looked like a weird lighting to me
Some German ice-cafes also offer ice cream looking like a Pizza or ice cream looking like a curry-sausage with fries.
@@BR618 I hope its woodruff. I need it!
Normally the Spaghetti is made from vanilla ice cream and topped with strawberry sauce - it look much more realistic …. and tastes sooooo ggooooood!!! 😋😍
I have never seen a green spaghetti variant before. But there is also green pasta - so why not? I would be interested in the taste. Possibly peppermint? 🤔
Oder Pistazie
@@Herzschreiber
Stimmt! 💡
The Wuppertaler Schwebebahn (English: Wuppertal Suspension Railway) is a suspension railway in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westfalia. The line was originally called the German: Einschienige Hängebahn System Eugen Langen (English: Eugen Langen Monorail Overhead Conveyor System) named for its inventor, Eugen Langen. It is the oldest electric elevated railway with hanging cars in the world and is a unique system in Germany. The Wuppertal Suspension Railway is a major part of the cities traffic infrastructure and the backbone of the east-west axis trough the Wupper Valley. The Schwebebahn runs along a route of 13.3 kilometres (8.3 mi), at a height of about 12 metres (39 ft) above the river Wupper between Oberbarmen (East end) and Sonnborner Straße (10 kilometres or 6.2 miles) and about 8 metres (26 ft) above the valley road between Sonnborner Straße and Vohwinkel (West end; 3.3 kilometres or 2.1 miles). It is more than 120 years old and one of the safest vehicles in the world. It had only three major accidents in all these years. The worst one was in 1999: The line's first and only fatal accident occurred close to Robert-Daum-Platz station during maintenance work in the early morning hours of 12 April 1999. Workers had forgotten to remove a metal claw from the track on completion of scheduled night work. The first eastbound train of the day hit the claw at a speed of around 50 km/h (31 mph), derailed, and fell about 10 metres (33 ft) into the river Wupper, killing five passengers and injuring 47, some seriously.
Usually Spaghetti Ice cream is made from vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce and white chocolate as Parmesan cheese. This one seems to be made from Pistachios or something else.
How could you leave out the Elephant…shame on you! Your Wuppertal card just got revoked! 😂
A lot of technical information. Might be even a bit too much, but for people interested in this: Great stuff!
Also the "lego bridge" is in Wuppertal too!
Thank you fir this awesome reaction! 👍If you want to learn more about german Citys and Landscapes please react to the video "This is Germany" from the Channel "Dr. Ludwig" with activated subtitles (for the names of the places). Greetings from one of your fans in Germany! 👋
Agreed! And subtitles for that video is a must, otherwise we will hear Natasha's "Where is that?" more often than not. 😉
this fairytale bridge 'Rakotzbruecke' or 'Teufelsbruecke' ('Devil bridge') is in the state of Sachsen/Saxony. It was also used for different movies - for instance 'Matrix Resurrections' (in a Morpheus fighting scene). Apropos: the 'School Castle' of the German show 'Maxton Hall' (which became now a global hit - most successful international movie start in Amazon Prime history - started with being Nr. 1 in 120 countries in the first week) is the Gothic Marienburg Castle near Hannover (state of Niedersachsen/Lower Saxony (apropos: 'Nieder' is a cognate of the Dutch 'Nether' like in 'Netherlands' and also means 'lower lands') .... Maxton Hall is a enemy-to-love/coming-of-age story but in a more classic Fairytale story (means more minimal, focus on the main story and lead chars, no overly complicated side stories, cliches/tropes are not avoided but celebrated - but are not flat/cheesy to to the straight forward narrative and good actors/composition) ... you could react on that! show ;)
The wheelchair swing 😊 now that was ace
❤ from Northeast England ❤️
Tropical Island water park - that blimp hangar isn't that old. It was built for the failed startup "Cargolifter", who were trying to build a giant airship to carry loads of up to 160 tons all across the globe.
Best reaction videos ever!
The cathedral in the mist is in Cologne. My hometown :)
Greetings 🌻
I enjoyed this very much, lots of places to explore and enjoy, people get an image in their heads about what countries are like and then get suprised after seeing videos like yours. Wouldn't it be great if all your fans and you could really go to these places together. Well done girlies ❤❤
Second attempt at this post, which disappeared.
A channel called 'Walk With Me Tim' does videos on hotels from five star from London to Dubai down to beach huts and Tim visited the giant waterpark near Berlin.
Really enjoyed today.
Great video lovely ladies , they have some very smart ideas over there , love the motorway one for emergency vehicles 😀😀 xx
It’s mandatory to do it…if you’re found to be blocking the passage of an emergency vehicle in a traffic jam, you’ll find you have to pay a hefty fine
11:21 Eschenheimer Turm is a former late medieval watchtower that was situated at the city of Frankfurt’s walls‘ gate in the direction of the road to the village of Eschersheim. Iirc it now serves as a café. The building in the background… one sec… one of the skyscrapers, obviously… but we got over a dozen of them in Frankfurt… should be „Nextower“.
The watering can rack is really pedantic. Relatives come to Swedish graveyards for upkeep too but the local garderner makes sure there is a few watering cans on site, instead of each person bringing their own.
Hey im german and i was like wtf thsts not normal
I assune the graveyard does not has alot of founds and thats why people bring their own?
It´s absolutely not common, that everyone has it´s own can. People even use ones from others, but then they put them back.
The same in Finland.
Love Germany! (As a Brit I could be lynched in the town square for saying it lol)
Such a beautiful country its a shame they suck at football...mwahaha! x
Hello from Germany,
the circus that uses holograms is Circus Roncalli and it actually performed in New York at Lincoln Center at Christmas.
You have to react to a video about the water park! You will love it
Please watch "This is Germany" the video. You will get a beauty overload. Enjoy it. Greetings from Germany. I live on the Rhine River.
I am German, 65 years old and discover things in your US show,
some of which I have never seen or heard of before. Remarkable!😂
Welcome to our Show!
when you start a job after school you are called lehrling(apprentice).when you are done after 3-4 years you become a Geselle (journeyman) and in some jobs,like the carpenter,you have to create and built a piece all by yourself.whenever you think you are ready to improve,you can make the meisterprüfung(master craftsman exam) to teach other apprentice or open your own business.
10:15 This thing is huge. To compare. The largest aircraft carrier, the "USS Ford", fits in completely. But then you can still place a Tico-class cruiser to the left and right. And next to that you can place a Burke-class destroyer on either side.The Eiffel Tower also fits lying down and the Statue of Liberty (without base) fits in twice, one on top of the other. In some weather conditions, clouds even form inside. Well, this year we're going on a short vacation again in one of the modern houses there. The Tropical Island is located 70 km southeast of Berlin. My kids love it.
Love your Germany reactions!
Thank you Peter!
about ice cream we have like a lot of that here.
And it usually is good!
Gotta try it!!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow You can make it yourself ... all you need is vanilla ice cream + a hand press with spaghetti-diameter holes ... and some strawberry sauce.
Then it is up to your "artistic skill" to arrange it AND some experimentation to get the temperature right for pressing the ice cream (before it becomes liquid) ... cooling the hand press a bit might be a necessary precaution.
08:00 there are only about 7 or 8 suspension railways in service worldwide, 4 in Germany and 3-4 in Japan, the ones in Wuppertal and Dresden are the oldest with over 110 years of service, each. ^^
Fired up the laptop just in time for the end of the live stream, so here I am to watch the whole thing.
The snowy bridge looks like the Geierlay Bridge in Sosberg in the state of Rheinland-Pfalz. It’s 360 meter long an 100 meter high. I’ve walk over there in Summer. It’s beautiful ☺️
The LEGO bridge is in Wuppertal. And the unique Schwebebahn. Check it out. 😁

Thank you
well, i give my mustard here

Hi Debbie, hi Natasha,
Greetings from Berlin! Another great video. I'm glad you enjoy our snacks. We Germans get enough exercise to compensate for the good food. The burst aquarium was the AquaDom in my city, Berlin, and it will not be rebuilt. I'm looking forward to when you visit Germany.
Best regards,
Marco❤🇩🇪🇺🇸
The Kromlau bridge, or correctly "Rakotzbrücke" or "Teufelsbrücke" (Devil's Bridge), you can find in "Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Park". It's always open with no fee (except for parking).
excerpt: like many US-Americans also Elivis had some roots in Germany => some ancestors of the legend Elvis Presley were winemakers from Hochstadt near Landau in the Palatinate. This was claimed by Donald W. Presley, the singer's cousin, in a recently published book according to the news agency epd. A DNA-test has clearly proven the direct relationship to the Pressler family of winegrowers from Hochstadt an der Weinstraße.His ancestor Valentin Pressler emigrated with his family to America in 1709 as a Protestant religious refugee. The reason was the violent recatholicization of the region by French occupation troops, writes epd. The family history of Elvis could be proven beyond doubt by means of church books, school prescriptions and interest lists, said Gerd Pressler, who as a genealogist has been working together with Donald W. Presley for a long time. According to his statement, the DNA test of an institute in Houston (Texas) showed "significant matches" between direct relatives of the pop legend and the Presslers' descendants. In addition, Elvis possessed a family Bible in which the names of the Pressler family from the wine village Hochstadt are found. His grandmother Minnie Mae had forgotten the Bible when she visited him in Friedberg in 1960 during his military service in Germany.
Elvis also sung some German songs like 'Muss I denn, muss I denn, ins Staedtele hinaus' ....
das grüne war definitiv kein richtiges Spaghettieis,so sieht das nicht aus 😉 super Video trotzdem 🔥😊
the picture of the tropical island. shows only a small part. it is a family resort. you can book a room or a tent to sleep over there inside the water park. there are restaurants etc. even a hot air balloon. there are videos about it or visit their website
If you love Elvis take a look at the Queen track "This thing called love" it was written as a tribute to Elvis and Freddy sings it like Elvis.
isn´t it "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"?
@@klaus2t703 Oh sorry it probably is. I know all the words and kinda guessed the title.
Great watching you girls trying to pronounce words! Quick guide, the general rule is that all letters are pronounced, the sounds made are as follows: w sounds like v, v sounds loike f, ie sounds like ee, ei sounds like eye, ä e or ae sounds like ay (as in bay), ö or oe sounds like er (as the pert), ü sounds like oo (as in boot), äu sounds like oy (as in toy). How to pronounce Wuppertaler Schweberbahn would be Voopa-tar-ler Sh-vay-ber-barn (I know, it becomes a tongue twister for English speaker but I've managed to master it after 20 years). Word of warning, the Germans have a habit of combining words to make longer words e.g. one hundred and fifty thousand becomes einhundertfunfzigtausend)
Schweberbahn = Sh-vay-ber-barn? .. ganz und gar nichts...
The differences in light come from the different types of street lighting used on both sides and not from the light bulbs in the apartments. Sodium vapor lamp in East and Fluorescent tubes in West.
The snowy bridge is at the Geierlay (Geier=vulture, Lay~rock face) near Mörsdorf, Rhineland-Palatinate. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geierlay
Cherry blossoms were planted in the 90’s along the Berlin Wall to celebrate the reunification of West and East Germany
We LOVE that!!
But the particular Cherry Blossoms are in Bonn. And i completely agree with the comment who explained it after searching it :D www.google.com/search?sca_esv=421b6f880c88a314&sxsrf=ADLYWIL2Cv2c6EVkr4Ii9LyThLztGE0A0A:1718234039400&q=Heerstrasse,+Bonn&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0A6bwEop21ehxKWq5cj-cHa02QUie7apaStVTrDAEoT1KC8RoCil8tGAcNCxzRkvcnGwqyGuTD7X18A_UTKd0_CELfTzO-ikZ95qZ2gBUQP1uyQ-pZ_Zw5KqTGBFqE6bltnqKUQNGWnYfdmillxbjYIVPk4_2RXlUx27uc0EROUT1MM3kg&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiXnLzMmNeGAxX-bvEDHYWuBbYQtKgLegQIEhAB&biw=1536&bih=742&dpr=1.25
German graves are usually have plants that the relatives take care of. So, in summers, one really needs to water them regularly. Instead of having to remember to bring a watering ca, you can simply leave it there for your next visit.
I've been to the graveyard with my grandma a lot when I was a kid 30 years ago. But... the watering cans were just hanging there for everyone. Did that change?
@@Larilafari many graveyards have public watering cans still. However, they often have holes in them etc., because - unfortunately - no one takes care of communal property as they do with their own. So, I guess, in many graveyards, people like to keep their own and to avoid having others use theirs without having to take it home and back there again, they opt to lock them in place…
Great looking at the pics of germany,loving all the pics think the slides from 4th floor my fav 😂
Haven't done any German since school (50 years ago,) but the main things I still remember about German pronunciation are:
1) when you see 'ie' in a word, it's pronounced 'ee', but 'ei' in a word is pronounce 'eye'.
2) The letter 'u' is normally pronounced as a 'short' u (as in bucket,) but when it has an umlaut accent over it (ü) it lengthens the sound to 'oo', (but as I remember, 'oo' said through semi-pursed lips!)
3) There's a whole new character called the Eszett (or the 'scharfes S', i.e. 'sharp s'.) This appears as ß and is often misread as a B, but its actually the combination of a 's' and a 'z' and is used where in English, you might find a double 's' as in 'Straße' (pronounced Strasser or Strar-ser').
The icecream isn't green. It's just the green plate, it's vanilla icecream put through a potato press, served with strawberry sauce and grated white chocolate. So, it looks like spaghetti with tomato sauce and grated parmesan cheese 😉
and there is a pistacio or mince way... stay interested 🍧
Had to wait until after work to watch this but well worth the wait. Love, hugs and prayers from Sussex, UK
Hope jer all have a nice week so fahr
Thanks! You too! ♥️♥️
I love these two patriotic girls.
HAHAHA I live in Friedberg with the Elvis crosswalk signals
As someone from Wiesbaden: she absolutely nailed the pronouncing of my city 😊 made me a little happy
Really??? I got it right??? Woohooo!!! Thank you for telling me!!!
Town twinning between Wiesbaden and other cities began with Klagenfurt in 1930, one of the first town-twinnings in Germany. Wiesbaden is twinned with: Royal Tunbridge Wells, England, United Kingdom (1989).
6:38 Neustadt Kunsthofpassage (New Town Art Court Arcade) = NOY-SHTADT KHOONST-HOHF-PAS-SA-GUH (approx. pronunciation in English)
here is a video for debbie. **Eating Spaghetti Ice Cream in Germany** usually our spaghetti ice isnt green hahahahah
How about, Debbie makes Spaghetti Ice Cream???
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow sounds lovely
@Debbie
James Bray has made a video about an ice cream parlor. An American famous in Germany, with a lot of German content, who finally visited Germany after years and was shown around by the community.
The title of the video: "My FIRST DAY Back In Germany Left Me SPEECHLESS...".
I like James Bray, but he's also a fanboy of Germany, so maybe I'm a little influenced. It's nice to see our country through the eyes of travelers.
As a child we had an icecream place that would make pizza ice.
Vanilla icecream spread on a plate as dough , strawberry sauce as tomato sauce, different fruits as toppings and grated white chocolate as cheese. back than for 5 mark xD ahh the good old times xD
Oh wow!
The womens' only parking have multiple factors making them safer.
A) very well lit.
B) close to the entrance/exit of the parking garage, with well lit passages to and from those spots to the entrance/exit,
C) often under constant surveillance by cameras.
Unfortunately they aren't everywhere but they often are part of larger parking garages. In many cases they are also wider. Officially this is for moms who need to be able to open the rear doors wider when putting kids into their seats in the back row. Unofficially some joker said it's because women suck at parking... Okay, okay (ducks away), sorry... 😂😂
Edit: the outdoors store is probably Globetrotter. They have multiple 'entertainment' stores that offer some pretty wild ideas to test out different equipment. The one here in Hamburg has a revolving elevator for canoes in their show window that goes over five floors (basement to the top floor). They have multiple angled and textured surfaces to try different hiking shoes on. Dito for thermarest sleeping matresses so you can check out if it is thick enough for your liking. For extremely cold weather they have a freezing chamber which is kept at -7°C, roughly 15°F. For more normal temps they have a weather simulation chamber where you can get drizzled on, have a downpour, or even get blasted by winds up to Beaufort wind strength 10 (almost hurricane), or even all of the ones above at once. It really is an experience. For convenience sake it is right opposite the Barmbek public transportation hub station. Just in case you ever visit Hamburg and wanted to see it.
Edit: Geselle is the traditional title of a craftsman that has advanced beyond apprentice level to what was a journeyman, or a Wandergeselle. And Stück is a piece, or in this case a workpiece. Almost every trade or craft had a specific ruling on what had to be included in this apprenticeship test. It required demonstration of extended knowledge and skills, as well as independent application of said traits appropriate to the craft you studied. It was usually a beautiful handcrafted item and a piece of pride for the apprentice. Maybe because this was so deeply ingrained into our mindset over literally centuries that you showed a quiet, non-boasting pride in your skills that trades and crafts weren't stigmatized in Germany. Even today many such jobs are highly regarded as honorable and well worthy of praise on par with many university style jobs.
Love the eclectic mix and reactions you ladies offer BUT for me your (sadly few) reactions to British comedy are the best !
I know you enjoyed it so Please Please Please lets have another WILTY reaction . James Acaster "Archenemy" and Bob Mortimer "Own Dentistry" are comedy gold !
btw, Tolkien's family (Lord of the Rings) had actually its origins in German-East Prussia (there were and likely still are also relatives in Northern Germany). 'Tolkien' is in fact an old Baltic-Prussian name.
Great reaction/video as usual!
Always wonderful to see you excited and curious to learn about my home country!
It's fun to see your outside perspective on some cool things us Germans sometimes might take for granted!
Some Infos:
• 03:04 The *Rettungsgasse* (Rescue alley/lane) is a very wonderful positive example of our stereotypical order mentality that often actually saves a lot of important minutes for emergency vehicles that some estimate increase the survival rate about 40%!
The current, efficient version was suggested by most emergency services for years and is now officially mandated by law in Germany since 2016.
• 04:04 I think that *hotel* is in Berlin iirc, which is one of the least religious & most left-liberal places in Germany so this would be fitting.
• 05:01 The seemingly round *Rakotzbrücke nicknamed Teufelsbrücke* (devils bridge) is located in the Azaleen- und Rhododendronpark Kromlau (Azaleas & Rhododendron park) at the Rakotzsee (Rakotz sea) (hence the bit on the nose official name of the bridge, I guess) in Kromlau, a district of the village Gablenz in the very east of the State Sachsen (Saxony) near the Polish border (& relatively close to the Czech border).
• 07:50 The *Wuppertaler Schwebebahn* (hover train/suspension railway) is a very cool form of public transport in the city Wuppertal in the State Nordrhein-Westfalen, short NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia) in the West of Germany.
It once transported an elephant (or tried to) in the 1950s, I think as an advertisement for a circus iirc, which made headlines and added to its cult status.
It's a cool, fast, beautiful way to "fly" across the city and over the river Wupper.
Definitely try to check for some videos on that!
• 08:08 Those special *Elvis Crosswalk Signs* (Ampeln) are located at the Elvis-Presley-Platz (Placa/Square)/Kaiserstraße in Friedberg because that's where Elvis was stationed from 1958-1960, while living nearby in Bad Nauheim.
Both beautiful cities in Hessen!
• 09:34 Speaking of Hessen, the *beautiful overgrown house in the Botanischer Garten* (botanical garden) is located in the city Gießen, in the middle of Hessen (State in the central-west of Germany).
That seemingly average, inconspicuous city is known for various other notable things:
- It was home of Justus von Liebig, one of the most important chemists in history/the world!
He basically layed the foundation for all of organic chemistry and also invented/discovered such things as e.g. Silver Mirrors, some early baby food, baking powder and mineral fertilizers (to boost agriculture) mostly because he wanted to help poor people in times of horrible famines!
- It has a big bridge across a road in the middle of the city nicknamed "Elefantenklo" (elephant toilet) because of its unique design.
- It's also home to the watering can museum (or Gießkannenmuseum), which might seem odd but is very fitting, given that the City name is the german word for pouring (e.g. water on plants): "gießen".
• 09:46 *Women only Parking* Spaces are indeed usually closer to doors/emergency exits in order to prevent women getting trapped by attackers as easily.
• 10:00 That's the *Cologne Cathedral* which is located right next to the main train station!
Köln is the german word for Cologne and Dom is a german word for a big type of church.
Too much trivia to list here but there are some cool videos on it.
• 11:09 The unique *manhole cover* is in Wiesbaden, in the southwest of the Bundesland (state) Hessen & is its state capital.
Fun fact about that city:
You can actually quickly cross the border to neighbouring state Rheinland-Pfalz (Rhineland-Palatinate), specifically directly into their capital Mainz via a bridge across the Rhine river!
• 11:18 The *Eschenheimer Turm* (Tower of Eschenheim) is located in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen and is a former City Gate of medieval Frankfurt.
Behind it in that photograph is the Nextower office building.
• 11:36 (& 04:08) The *cherry blossom* pictures seem to both be from Bonn,
which is the former Capital City of West Germany (1973-1990) and also our former seat of government (1949-1999).
• 17:44 Most *Graves in Germany* have a small field of flowers on top of it, in front of the head stone which usually relatives or friends keep fresh and nice e.g. by replacing and watering flowers.
Additionally I guess it's a stereotypical german thing to bring our own equipment (e.g. watering can) and lock it so it doesn't get stolen... I dunno.
• 18:20 *Spaghetti Eis* usually isn't green but more of a light yellow-ish colour since it's made from vanilla ice cream that is pressed through a noodel press/machine.
(Dunno why it's green in this picture...)
It usually comes with a strawberry sauce to resemble the typical tomato/bolognese sauce we like on our Spaghetti plus some white chocolate as fake Parmesan cheese.
Hope that helped/was interesting enough!
Sry for the long text!
Thanks again for the very enjoyable video! Looking forward to seeing you discover more about Germany and other countries!
Lots of love! Happy Pride!
Take care! Til next time!
Sorry, late watching this. We always think of Germans as being a bit dour. This video certainly disproves that conception. Very impressive and innovative Germany, really impressed.
I just subscribed. I think about a year ago, late at night I stumbled across one of your vids, but half asleep, another vid followed, and after that you never appeared on my feed again. Now finally you are back for me... yay. You two are so adorable. I hope you will manage to explore Germany, especially Neuschwanstein (it is easier to say, as you think Neu like bo just with N, swan as the bird and stein as the beer glass) and the black forest. Your excitment is so infective, that it even gives an old german couch potato wanderlust to explore more corners of our home country. And no worries, nearly every German person can speak more or less english, so just ask, and you will get some secret tips to visit. We are not so as they say, we actually love to help. We are just a bit more direct with speaking our mind, and not so used to puffering thinks in politeness,as blunt truth is more efficent ;)
Traditional German graves (before cremation became a thing) are like tiny gardens, 2 square meters of soil surrounded by stones and a larger grave stone at one end, not just a stone like we see in most US cemeteries. When I was a child, I would go to the graveyard with my great aunt once a week and we would clean the stones, plant flowers, water the flowers, draw motives into the soil with a rake, etc. Everybody did this back in the day; nowadays, not so much anymore. Some sections of the cemeteries now are for cremated people only, and those graves usually only have a stone. For those who still have traditional graves, many people opt to simply cover it with a slab of stone, or do Zen gardens that don't need watering, the custom is disappearing. I enjoyed it, it was like meditation.
7‘54‘‘ You pronounce Wuppertal kompletly right and if you want to see more of the Schwebebahn: ruclips.net/video/nxBIJDZ9J0I/видео.htmlsi=UdrGIuW9HbWtko9z
13‘55‘‘ The ‚Lego‘-Bridge is also located in Wuppertal. Fun Fact: There are two of them. Their official name is Rainbow Bridge: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lego-Br%C3%BCcke?wprov=sfti1
18‘21‘‘ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettieis?wprov=sfti1
The Japanese trees are in Düsseldorf ? The City with a biggest Japanese community in Germany😂
This Lego-like bridge is in Wuppertal. That city with the Suspension Railway. AND... there is a second bridge like this in this city since a few years!
Hello,
your pronunciation of "Neustad Kunsthofpassage" was not bad - if you do not speak German, then it was good!
Greetings
Juy Juka
Hey Girls, if you are interested in german nature and historical sights, i'd recomand looking up videos or pictures of the "Harz Region", a National Park and UNESCO World Heritage, beautiful Mountains, deep forests, actual minig villages, the Unicorn Cave and former emperor Estate "Kaiserpfalz" in Goslar or Keywords like "Bernsteinzimmer", "Bodensee", "Carnival in Köln" or "Wattenmeer"(again UNESCO World Heritage).
Greetings from Germany! ❤
Your T-Shirt, X-Ray.
It was invented by a german man, called "Eduard Röntgen"
X-Rays are german technologie.
Did you know that?!

The bridge at minute 5:00 is in Kromlau in the northeast of Saxony on the Polish border. This is the Rakotz Bridge, also called the Devil's Bridge. This is a wonderful place. There is a park all around. A few kilometers east, in Bad Muskau, there is also a very beautiful park owned by Prince Pückler.
The Cherry Blossom picture is taken in the Federal City of Bonn, the former capital.
Kromlau Bridge is one of multiple so-called "devil's bridges" in Germany. It is part of the Kromlau Azalea and Rhododendron Landscape Park built during the 19th century and also called "Rakotz bridge" (after the artificial Rakotz lake, "rak" being Sorbic for "crayfish"). It is located near the Polish border in the district Bad Muskau, where you can also find the even more famous Muskau Park designed by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871).
6:23 Neustadt (lit. new town) is a district of Dresden (the Inner Neustadt within the old city walls was rebuilt after a fire as "New Royal City" before 1732, the Outer Neustadt was started around 1745, most buildings are from the second half of the 19th century). "Kunsthofpassage" means Art court passage, it consists of five courtyards in the Outer Neustadt and his its own article in the German wikipedia.
8:00 Nice video about the Wuppertal suspension railway: ruclips.net/video/9IFh6wFTJiQ/видео.html
10:19 it is not an "old blimp hangar", it was built in 2000/2001 for the Cargolifter project which then failed and went bankrupt in 2003. It is 360m long, 210m wide and 107m high, the biggest self-supporting construction in the world.
11:18 The Eschenheimer Turm is one of the old city gates of Frankfurt/Main. The tower in the background is the Nextower, a 136m high, built 2009/2011.
12:13 Yes, it broke. It burst in the early morning of 16 December 2022 and flooded the foyer of the hotel and the street before it; most of the fish died (40 of 1,500 were rescued). And the elevator was inside of the aquarium, not the other way round.
14:50 The translation of "Gesellenstück" would be "bachelor's piece". German crafts used the bachelor/master system long before German universities did. (In England they say "journeyman" instead of bachelor, based on the tradition to go on a journey after you got your bachelor's degree to learn about the customs and methods used in other regions.)
3000 scotish arrived in Germany for the football amazing tartan army thank you Germany for inviting us back xxx
4:30 On the occasion of German reunification in 1990, the Japanese broadcaster "TV-Asahi" launched the "Sakura Campaign", a tree planting campaign. More than 20,000 Japanese took part and EUR 1 million in donations were raised. By 2010, more than 10,000 Japanese cherry blossom (sakura) trees had been planted. Most of them are in Berlin and Brandenburg in places that played a special role during the division of Germany, e.g. on the former "wall strip", i.e. where the Berlin Wall once stood. The first sakura trees were planted at the famous Glienicke Bridge. The initiator of the campaign, Tetsuo Terasaki, was invited to the New Year's reception in 2004 by then Federal President Horst Köhler. The picture was (I think) taken here: 10407 Berlin, Käthe-Niederkirchner-Straße.
The Wuppertal Suspension Railway (Schwebebahn) is the original one, the blue print for every Suspension Railway that got build around the world in the last 50 years.
This link is to the official video from the Wuppertal Stadtwerke about the Schwebebahn (English version) ruclips.net/video/HQH4TS01Jt4/видео.htmlsi=K9jKUrloU3thHc_q
I've never seen the Tampon book (as a German), but the store I buy at does sell certain period products for 1ct (they say, it's free, which it almost is. Guess, they have to put a price on it). You can only get 1 pice per shopping, but it's pretty neat.
Also: taxes for period products in Germany have been reduced from 19% to 7% in 2020. Shame though, that quiet a few products weren't reduced in price, but kept the old one, thus making more money. (especially big companies did that) Some companies did reduce their prices, so those who could, would try to go for these brands. Guess, the free product per shopping at my store has to do with this in some way. (like, work places start to offer free period products at work for people etc. nowadays. Not all, but some of the bigger ones do that)
It's getting better here. Slowly, but it does.
4:35 min A Japanese celebration In April? 🤔"Japan Day" this year was on the first of June In Düsseldorf (about 410 Japanese companies are there, that is why Düsseldorf has about 8300 Japanese who live there). "Japanisches Kirschblütenfest" (Japanese cherry blossom celebration) is on June 23 in Hamburg. Hamburg has about 100 Japanese companies and about 1700 Japanese people.
Still we got some a holes that are not able to build the "Rettungsgasse" It'll cost you points in Flensburg and money too if you get caught. One thing we are better in terms of driving. We hardly have any break checker in Germany! And that was so even before dash cams.😁 We usually don't have these traffic light. Even if they want to. Sometimes they use a 2nd light. We love rules(I've heard)
You wont believe how difficult that is to do. BTW When you got problems pronouncing German :Use google translator. There is a loudspeaker symbol, you push it ,you hear it. It's very simple.
You can even learn how PORSCHE sounds. If you wanna show of😉.Americans very often just skip the E. That kinda sucks. I know name mistakes aren't real mistakes. Still that annoys me.
Some Brits do it too, but if so I just sign off dislike and explain it. Why this ist one of the most famous brands on this world. Don't they earn to be named right? Lol it's Köln not Koln. Try it 😉
I rather have you say Cologne instead of Koln. That's my home City wich is ~20 miles from Bonn. Just up the Rhine😉 I believe it is true, but it was years back. Wasn't that Fish tank in a Hotel?
Googles Translator has the Gesellenstück. Hmm looks like Pistachio ice cream, but I'm not sure. What, Clowns are evil? If they don't carry a running chainsaw running after me,I like 'em.
It was fun watching you,THX
Germany, even the little towns is well worth a holiday trip. Learn just a few words of German, and you will get on just fine. Most younger people speak English, but you always have Google translate. Just remember W = V, Köln is Cologne. REMEMBER Oktoberfest is in September in case you planned to go then... if finishes in October.
6:12 this place is in Dresden. Neustadt (New town) is a district. I would translate it's name to New Town art back-courtyard passage.
Pronounciation would be like Noy shtud Coonst hoaf passage (Passage is pronounced like massage but you'll voice the e at the end sounding like the "ge" in general)
And trust me, it's overrated. It just sounds like rain running in pipes (or frying your Schnitzel 😅).
To be fair it's meant to play the music of water and rain and it actually does amplify those sounds.
10:10 that hangar is according to German wikipedia the largest cantilever (unsupported, free-standing) building in the world with L x W x H = 1180 ft x 690 ft x 350 ft. It's a "family water park". So it got some slides and stuff, but also a lagoon with a beach for sun bathing, beach volleyball, beach soccer, cocktail bars, a small rainforest, a tropical themed village, etc.
Spaghetti icecream is usualy an vanilla off white snd usualy vanilla flsvour this picture looks like mint gelato for sone reason 😅
Note: there probaply is a video or 2 on spagetthi icecream on youtube
YES, clowns are evil. I've always hated them. So glad you are back.
