we have over 26.000 Castles and Palaces. But France have over 40.000 castles Greetings from Brmerhaven the little city from the north sea coast. By the way, more than 7 million people emigrated to America from Bremerhaven in the 19th century. And you find many german citynames how Bremen (12x) in USA.
The lightbulb thing is a thing from the past. The Video is almost 8 years old and even back then it was in decline. You cant buy those old light bulbs anywhere anymore for several years. The old ones are almost all broken at this point in time and replaced with new ones.
4:49 "Like the south is north" As a geography teacher this hurts me physically, although, if she means compared to India, fine. 😂 But I'm always a bit annoyed that they say "the more down you go, the more up you move". It's "The more south you move, the more up you go"
3:38 have a lot to say about east Germany because many people are biased towards it and I wanna clear the air. I’m a Spaniard and I deliberately moved to eastern Germany, I do not regret it and I prefer it over western Germany. Many western Germans (including the younger generation) really look down upon eastern Germans and say derogatory things like „they’re too lazy to work“ (well, the trust company literally destroyed the East German economy after the reunification, so what do they expect), that they’re poor (the gap between east and west has been shrinking tremendously), and that they’re kinda backwards and stupid (erm, the two states with the best PISA-results are in Eastern Germany😂) I like it here because I feel like every region and city has its own spirit. Berlin is its own planet anyway, then go to Potsdam which literally borders Berlin and it’s a whole different world. Also Erfurt, Leipzig, Dresden, Halle, Rostock,… all differ from each other. And then go to Nordrhein-Westfalen in the west. Once you’ve seen one city, you’ve seen all of them cuz they’re quite the same. In general, the East German reputation of being „poor“ is so unjustified. Everything is renovated, all the buildings and streets are in a good condition, it’s clean, and because of the lack of industrialisation, there’s actual pristine NATURE there. Go to „wealthy“ western German cities and you see run-down buildings, graffiti and trash everywhere, homeless people,… (same applies for Berlin but that’s a different story
as someone who was born and raised in Berlin is was like "wtf" upon crossing over to Potsdam everything suddenly looked more put together, smaller, had more character und the people looked diffrent (clothes and mimic)
9:29 that half-timbered house you see on the picture is definitely not in Bavaria. That’s brick and brick is not used in Bavaria. Also, half-timbered houses are actually quite rare in Bavaria. Also, Cuckoo clocks are from Baden-Württemberg, not from Bavaria.
You're partly correct. The house in the picture is the "Hoppenerhaus" in Celle/ Niedersachsen. But you're incorrect regarding brick and that half-timbered houses might be quite rare in Bavaria.
@@bertjafn and the new one is still at only a little over half of Munich‘s capacity, and around 3/8 of Frankfurt‘s. Also, it took how long to build? Take the „L“ already…
The "Wirtschaftswunder"/great economic surge after WW2 is a nice story. Of course the social market economy contributed to that, but what made the difference was another thing. The economic base wasn't all that much destroyed during the war which meant that the possible production capacity of German companies was even larger after the war then it had been before, without anything to turn all that capacity to. This happened both by the early beginnings of the EU (European Coal and Steel Community) but also war production for the Korea war.
im german and i would say that we have also strong relationship with Japan. Many culture things can be seen in each others country, even the constitution is the same. Many german people love Japan and many japanese love Germany too from what i heard of.
9:17 Baden-Württemberg is (obviously) divided into Baden and Württemberg (that’s where the Swabians live). But the Badeners and the Swabians hate each other. The Badeners say: “the sun laughs over Baden, but the world laughs over Swabia.” So, Baden-Württemberg is clearly more than just Swabia. And the Swabian dialect is fairly intelligible compared to other ones. It’s not possible to measure the intelligibility of a dialect, though
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.
8:52 there is no cultural division of Germany and if there were one, then it wouldn’t look like that. Culture don’t just stop at the borders of states. And the Eastern and northern states are definitely more culturally diverse, so they shouldn’t be classified as one cultural region
16:30 - As a german I highly encourage you to come here and visit the camps... ESPECIALLY now, that most people who were involved in what happened between '39 and '45 are dead, it is more important than ever to keep those memories alive, as facism and racism are on the rise again EVERYWHERE in the world, sadly, also in your country, but shockingly here as well. It is so important to teach people about, what those policies ultimately lead to and visit and watch the sites, where people were murdered in an industrialized organised way due to their origins, political beliefs, sexual orientation, for being disabled or whatever reason. Sometimes it seems to me, the international focus lies to much on the jews, as they made up the largest group of people who ended up in the camps, but people often forget about all the other minorities, that got killed back than and this is important to understand because people are like, yeah the fascists killed the jews, but they have their own state now, so fascists won't do that again, believe me, they will and they already do so. They will kill and murder ANYONE, who opposes their political power, I mean look at the Röhm-Putsch, they even killed each other over power, don't believe this is over, because it was 80 what years ago, it's still here, it is growing again and it is everywhere and we need to be aware and wider awake than ever before!
I think people from India and people from Germany tend to get along very well, because we have similar interests, when it comes to social interactions. The indian culture is so rich of myths. Germans usually love those stories. Also the separation of the Hinduism and the Islam is a little bit like the separation of the catholic and the protestant church in Germany...
Ich liebe eure Kommentare. Aber die Videos, die ihr euch manchmal anschaut, sind so schnell gesprochen und abgespielt, dass man kaum hinterherkommt. Ich freue mich, wenn ihr auch Burgen und Schlösser in Deutschland schauen würdet❤❤❤ liebe Grüße aus Deutschland macht weiter so...
The term 'trophy wife' for France is absolutely correct. We love our French neighbours, but we also love all our other neighbours. However, France and Germany are the bosses of the EU. If either France or Germany disagree with a European law, it's not going to happen. Germans to have a sense of humour, contrary to popular belief. It's just that our humour is often more like satire. And when it comes to political satire (or political cabaret), nobody beats the Germans. Not even close. Have a look at "Volker Pispers". He did his last show in 2014 but what he said back then is still as valid today.
I have a couple of objections and amendments to the original video: 1. There are a few vilages in Germany's south that can only be reached by going to Switzerland and then going back to Germany. 2. The Tornados are more numberous, but usually smaller and less damaging than in the US. 3. "Rouladen" are made of beef, not pork! No diskussion! 😉 Sorry, India. 4. "Reinheitsgebot" was a law some time ago, but is no more. Currently it is simply voluntarily, but most breweries use it as a marketing point.
Yeah... I'm from Mecklenburg and we are culturally super close to the rest of the north but because we ended up on the wrong side of that damn wall for 40 years we still get lumped together with the Saxons...
It is very very unlikely you will ever see a bear in the wild in Germany. We do have wolfs spread all over the country now but even they are rather rare to see.
That video is a bit older and has got some things a bit wrong or at least inaccurate. - The Austro-Hungarian empire came only into existence after Napoleon came to power. Before Napoleon Austria was part of the German Kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire, which at his height consisted of the German kingdom, the Kingdom of Italy, the Kingdom of Bohemia, the Kingdom of Burgundy aka Arelat and for a very short time the Kingdom of Sardinia (which was declared its own kingdom by Emperor Friedrich II Stupor Mundi and given to his illegitimate son Enzio). At the time of Napoleon however only the Kingdom of Bohemia and the German kingdom were left, the latter even reduced by the independence of the Netherlands and Switzerland and by the annexation of Lorraine and Franche Comtè by France during the regency of Louis XIV. - There are tornadoes in Germany, but generally fewer and weaker than in the US. - He is about one magnitude wrong about the number of different kinds of bread. The German Bread Register (which is a thing, maintained by the German Bread institute founded by the central association of German bakery trade) has registered more than 3,000 kinds of bread. - Rouladen are beef. Sauerbraten is in most cases also beef (the traditional recipe for Rhenish Sauerbraten used horse), originally made from old cows and old horses, which is why the meat had to be tendered by marinating it for at least two days in wine or vinegar, spices and herbs. - Bears are extinct in Germany; only sometimes single beasts migrate from the Austrian alps to Bavaria. The eagle shown is not a European species, but presumably from Africa. The Steinadler or Golden Eagle and the Seeadler or White-tailed eagle are the species which can be found in some regions of Germany. The osprey is also called "Fischadler" = fish eagle in German. The eagle as heraldic animal was inherited from the ancient Roman Empire and used as symbol of power by the Holy Roman Empire (mostly in the double-headed version) as well as by the Byzantine Empire and the Russian Empire. - Standard German is based on the middle German dialect and the Meissen officialese which was used by Martin Luther for his translation of the bible. In the 19th century it was mainly propagated by Prussia, especially after it annexed most of Northern Germany after the German-Prussian war. - Regarding dialects he cites multiple stereotypes, which are mostly not true. - Cuckoo clocks don't originate from Bavaria, but from the Black Forest, where they were mostly produced for the English market back in the 18th and 19th century. - Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz was the so called "short title" of the "Gesetz zur Übertragung der Aufgaben für die Überwachung der Rinderkennzeichnung und Rindfleischetikettierung" (Cattle marking and beef labeling supervision duties delegation law) in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern between 1999 and 2013. The seems to be a kind of competition between bureaucrats to make long and complicated "short" titles for minor laws. - "Vergangenheitsbewältigung" has nothing to do with a "lingering sense of guilt from the past". Originally it was a concept similar to that of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but extended to accepting the past and to "learn from the past in order to not repeat the errors and abominations of the past" as well as taking responsibility for building a better society. - "national" pride was always a bit artificial in Germany. Nationalism in the modern sense was invented in France back in the 18th century and mainly used to suppress minorities. In Germany it became a thing only during the Napoleonic wars, but most Germans did still consider themselves as citizens of their town in the first place and as Swabians, Franconians, Hessians and so on in the second place. In many cities you'll see still mostly the city's flag, followed by the state and/or EU flag, with the German flag only at the third place. But most Germans are also "constitutional patriots": more proud about the German constitution than about any flags or colors.
That is incorrect. If you think about tornadoes like in the US, then maybe. But tornadoes exist in different sizes regarding the power. They are not as powerful as in the US but smaller tornadoes exist in Germany and are not that rare.
Please don't speak for us all. I saw tornadoes before, so it depends on where you live. You should google the 1968 Pforzheimer Tornado - one of the better known ones.
3:42 „blocky soviet-style“ buildings that’s not what they’re actually called) are not an indicator of wealth. He shouldn’t have said that. And that’s typical western ignorance again. There are just as many „blocks“ in WESTERN countries like western Germany, France, the UK and the USA as in the east. In manhattan, they even demolished an entire neighbourhood in order to build these blocks. And nowadays they’re run-down ghettoes with a high crime rate. In the east, however, they’ve all either been renovated or demolished. In the east, these neighbourhoods are clean and safe
16:12 native german here, he translated Vergangenheitsbewältigung very wrong. it does not mean "guilt from the past" literally it translates to overcoming/working out the past. Meaning coming to terms with it. Volksverhetzung is not a rule but the word for the crime of inciting racism and/or riling up people under false pretense. There are a few misconceptions in that video, Notably the tornado thing is not even technically true because France has statistically more winds that technically qualify as tornadoes. The damage is nowhere near America in both countries, or Europe in general for that matter.
7:25 your gesture does in Germany not mean 3 but *sshole or "perfekt" depending on the context. In traffic - no good😆And it would be an offense which will in Germany be handled by court. As foreigner you might get off the hook but not as citizen.
😭😭 noooooo Kuckucksuhren (Kuckucks clocks) comes from the black forest!!! Not from Bavaria 🤡😂😭 Don't confuse us Alemannics with Bavarians 😂 Even the Germans don't understand our languages and confuse us....
9:55 wrong. Goodbye means “tschüss”. That’s not a dialect, that’s what everyone says. “Auf Wiedersehen” is formal and rarely used. In Cologne they would say “adjus” because it literally IS in the Rhineland. However, dialects are only spoken by elderly people and are going to die out
Wrong again. Tschüss might be the informal way to say goodbye in many parts of Germany nowadays. But it was a dialect in northern Germany. Auf Wiedersehen is often used. Mostly in southern Germany but also in Sachsen and Thüringen. Luckily dialects are not only spoken by elderly people. Don't know where you got that from since you claim living in Germany. Sounds weird. Unless you can't differentiate regional dialects. Which might be the reason.
That is not a meme. It is a word that was used in the draft of a bill in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and was later used as "official short form" of the law. This law however doesn't exist anymore since I think 10 years now.
Since 2,5 years germany isn´t the leading economic in europe anymore bcos of the bad government ( Ampelparteien, especially the Greens - Die Grünen ) . Many companies leave germany because of the high taxes and energy costs. Now germany is at the last place economic in europe.
Interesting how many companies are more behind the Green Party 😁 High energy prices? Try renewable energies! No skilled workers? Try organizing skilled migration! Many of the biggest companies in Germany see those aspects as very important
First the tornados usually do no harm at all and second, there are more than 3000 types of bread!
Real bread 😅
3.000 sounds right! :D He said 300!
Kuckucksuhr Not from Bavaria its from Baden Württemberg, Blackforest Region
we have over 26.000 Castles and Palaces. But France have over 40.000 castles

4:06 this is outdated! Berlin has a new, larger airport
non operational airports dont count ;)
Frankfurt Airport is still WAY ahead of Berlin in terms of flights and capacity. :-P
@@Roberternst72Point is: The airport he mentioned as Germany‘s 4th largest doesn’t exist anymore.

I've seen a tornado here not far away from home and I live far away from the tornado alley. But that happened when I was a kid, many years ago
I've had 2 tornadoes in my life, close to my city but not enough to do any damage and I live in Poland close to German border, so it happens sometimes

Since 2,5 years germany isn´t the leading economic in europe anymore bcos of the bad government ( Ampelparteien, especially the Greens - Die Grünen ) . Many companies leave germany because of the high taxes and energy costs. Now germany is at the last place economic in europe.
Funny, how wrong you are 😅.
You're reading "Blödzeitung" a lot?
Interesting how many companies are more behind the Green Party 😁
High energy prices? Try renewable energies!
No skilled workers? Try organizing skilled migration!
Many of the biggest companies in Germany see those aspects as very important
You're quite wrong on that one
