The Town In Two Countries
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- If you want to visit the town of Baarle, head on over to northern Belgium … or the southern tip of the Netherlands. The town straddles an international border, with half of it belonging to the Dutch and the other half to the Belgians. With dozens of border crossings throughout town, many houses, shops and even roads are split in two. And with two countries comes two sets everything-two mayors, two flags, two council and even two sets of laws. This can make things tricky, but Baarle is setting an example of how two societies can come together and live harmoniously … even in the weirdest of circumstances.

We Dutch people go to Baarle-Hertog to get fireworks that are illegal in the Netherlands.
Yes but u probably have to travel long to get there, i could be there in 10 minutes
I didn't know fireworks were illegal in the Netherlands. Here in England we can buy them whenever we want.
@@ajs41 well, in the netherlands we have 2 categories of fireworks. Theres F1 which you light all year. And F2 which you can only buy and on 29,30 and 31 and legally light on 31st of december after 6pm until 2am. this year because of the pandemic F2 isnt allowed bc some people get injured with it, and they need all the space for critical covid patients. Of course other sick people and people that are giving birth can be taken into the hospital.
@@owkay_1 In Germany some people cross the border to Poland to purchase fireworks there. However the problem is that freedom of transportation of EU doesn't mean that everything that is legal in one country is legal in the other.
So if you buy fireworks that is for example stronger than permitted in Germany you might face criminal charges for possession of explosives. Or if you purchase weed in the netherlands and cross the border you can get in trouble as well.
Did they actually prohibit ignition of firework in the Netherlands on last 31th December or just selling?
In Germany they just banned selling firworks nationwide but not ignition. Some cities banned ignition at public sides though. But you could still ignite fireworks on private property if anything was left from the previous year.
@@Temo990 supermarkets stayed open, some supermarkets like aldi and lidl have fireworks so we could buy them from those stores. I still had some fireworks from the year before so i used that aswell. If they caught u lighting fireworks c2 and above you would get in troubke

You need to be a citizen to do that
Papa Joseph Stalin Nope, as the laws of a country apply to you if you visit it. So you can be held in prison for murder in e.g. germany, but they won't execute you even if you're from texas, because there's no law for execution there.
Apply this to other laws... et voilà.
Just the way you have to obey the law of the country you're visiting, the freedoms of those laws also apply to you.
One could get their drivers license at age 16 in the US, but wouldn't be allowed to drive in the EU until age 17.
Etc.
When a Dutch/Flemish town has a better relationship with each other being from 2 seperate countries than Flanders/Wallonia within Belgium itself...
To be honest, it feels like Belgium really isn't a country, more like a loose union of 2-3 microstates under one crown. The cultures in the regions are just too different (French, Dutch and even German).
One of the main differences is that historically the Flemish are Catholic and the Dutch Protestant. There isn't really much difference between the Walloons and the people of Northern France.
@@robfinlay8058 Funnily enough, the south of NL is considered mostly catholic due to their celebration of carnaval, leaving Flanders in between...
@@robfinlay8058 Catholicism is the main religion in the South of the Netherlands and in the Northern regions of Belgium people speak Dutch. So there are not many cultural problems.
It's not a matter of religions in Belgium. It's rather a different approach to the way of doing things in Germanic and Romance cultures and it's a row between languages. Hard to solve with a majority of 60 to 40 per cent in favour of Dutch/Flemish when the dominating language of wider international acknowledgement is actually French. People from abroad rather tend to be familiar with French and consider it more important, too. So it's tricky.
Belgian police: We have a warrant for your arrest!
Dude: sprints five feet to the netherlands
Yellow Penguin officially possible, i speak from experience when I say that Belgian or Dutch police would detain you on either side of the border since long before the treaty.
well this used to be a real issue in these towns. Most famous is the old bank that had sort of a sliding vault door. when Belgian cops came they simply moved the door to the dutch part and vice versa. That way they never got to check the vault and the finances of their clients. Nowadays the Police forces work together so things like that cant really happen annymore.
That's why there's the European Arrest Warrant!
there used to be smugglers that had the traditional Dutch wooden shoes, but with the bottom mounted backwards, so that the police followed the track to the wrong country.
i asked this to my friend, he is a officer in the netherlands. He said till some years ago it was possible. People always tried to escape to Germany or belgium. The police couldnt do anything. Now they allowed to keep following you, but they not allowed to arrest you (But they can get permision to arrest you, on the official police forum it says they can arrest up to 5-10km from the border. They have to wait for the police from the other country do to that. There are a lot of storys with people that escaped. i have a friend who did it 4 months ago, drived without car plate. and in germany he parked somewhere put on his plates back and so on.
Dont ask me why cuz idk lol.
But yes its possible

@@gazpachopolice7211 Yeah, buuuuut, in Vaals, the three borders actually touch in a centerpoint. Luxembourg just touches a few countries, many countries touch more than one country. By the way, Luxembourg is a country so it kind of makes no comparison to a city as Vaals or Baarle-Nassau anyway ;)
Difference is that baarle isn't actually at the MAIN dutch border which gives the country a shape.
The actual town of Vaals is in the Netherlands.

I love how even the accents differ between the Belgians and the Dutch, even in such a town.
The Belgians need to go to school further south, in "main" Belgium. As a result there is no influence of Netherlands Dutch. Though the Dutch and Belgian Brabantian dialects of that region are very close, historically the whole territory belonged to the Duchy of Brabant.
Still i hear the Belgian mayor speak with a heavy dutch accent.

Me: yes
There is also a golf course in Sweden and Finland :)
Love how the lady mayor had only her leg over the border at one point during the interview
Great video with a hopeful message.
Nitpick; You pronounce all the letters in Baarle. So not Baarl, but Baarle.
"Do you live in the Netherlands or Belgium?"
"Yes"
Under 18 Netherlands : I want to drink
*steps to Belgium*
Wow, imagine living there, I wonder how it is。
Probably not that special, since the borders are open and both countries speak Dutch (Belgium only in the northern half)...
Sara the dreamer Cold and pretty boring looking weather most of the time there
Me: i wanna go to the Netherlands
Also me : steps over the border
I wanna go to Belgium

You could do that with any border in schengen area.
Walking over the bridge in Grevenmacher (L), I am in Luxembourg, I am in Germany and Luxembourg, I am only in Germany.
Go to the Three-Border Region in Vaals (NL), put one foot in Germany, the other in Belgium and the rest of your body is above Dutch territory.
It is also the highest point of The Netherlands (the country, not the Kingdom).

Since the 10th of October 2010 Saba has become a special municipality of the Netherlands (country) and Mount Scenery lies in the Netherlands.
But I do understand the point you're making.
@@dutchman7623 actually when you’re on a bridge over the Moselle between Luxembourg and Germany you’re in neither of the two, you’re kinda on international waters
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if all countries were like this?
But it won’t if the European Union doesn’t exist
*border control, border control everywhere.*
