You should go give them a visit if you ever get the chance.

And when you are already here go and visit our northern cousins in Denmark, too. They are lovely people and the country is just as beautiful as the people.
I think what's truly mindblowing here, is that the younger generations don't even realise when watching this video, is that so many of these towns and cities were completely destroyed, raised to the ground, with bare shells of the buildings standing at best, not more than 75 years ago and today, it's as if nothing ever happened.
Germany is the very epitome of what it means to be broken and hopeless, but still picking yourself up by your bootstraps and being reborn in a new glory for the ages ahead. All that, but on a scale of an entire nation. Absolutely inspiring!
You are so right 😔

I hope to visit again someday soon.
Reactions like this are giving me a whole new appreciation for the country i am proud to be born in. There is no place like home 🇩🇪
Everybody complains about taxes but thats why germany is as beautiful as it is. And to be honest, everybody can live i decent life here. Even if you have nothing the gov will supoort you, give you a flat and money to buy food and an interior.
@@str1kerxx Right, it isn't as worse as we feel. But... to give you an opposite view: Even if you have earned a little bit with hard and a lifetime work up to your late 60's with 50% of your income as retirement pay the government will take >50% from you and hand out just a fraction of this to the poor. The difference is eaten up by bureaucracy, corruption and politicians and pure inability.
@@void1968able corruption and greed are the societies worst enemy in my opinion. I don’t mind to share with others but I won’t fill the pockets of already rich ppl just because they can’t get enough which results in worse politics. But since most ppl lost their honor/pride in order to gain worthless likes we are doomed anyway
Even me as a german who visited many of those places I'm always stunnes how beautiful germany is. I get in tears seeing thos pictrues. You never get used to those views.
As a german, i love the landscape of my country so much.
Big thank you Universe for putting me here.

I Went to Germany for a school holiday, and to say that its stunning and beautiful is beyond an understatement. The Black Forest region is amazing with stunning views in every village and town. And that's when i was 12 or 13 years old and its left an impression ever since.
Das deutsche Volk wird dir für dieses Kompliment danken !
Almost all towns in Germany are beautiful in some corner or other...
6:35 technically it actually is a statue of liberty. That's the statue of Arminius who was able to unite the Germanic tribes against the Roman Empire and won against the Romans. The battle in the Teutoburger forest was the essential beginning of Germany even tho it took over 1860 years till Germany actually was united as one country.
Arminius united some germanic tribes and won a battle against the Romans. Drawing a line from there to a german nation is a typical 19th century nationalistic narrative.
And it is about 10 years older than the Statue of Liberty
It's interesting knowing about that aprt of history from the germans' perspective, we studied it from the Romans' pov so i didn't know anything about this Arminius. But I'm curious, what's the origin of his name, it's very Latin-like, was it perhaps how he was known as by the Romans?
@@irenecarrillo6750 In fact his name is a latin one, but the heritage is unknown. For further information about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius
@@irenecarrillo6750 In German it is called the Herrmannsdenkmal (Memorial of Hermann) and he is mainly known as Herrmann der Cherusker (Hermann the cherusci). Arminius is indeed the latinized version of Herrmann. He actually served in the Roman army, spoke Latin and even gained roman citizenship through that. He was sent back to Germania by the Romans themselves to aid them in their efforts to pacify the Germanic tribes.
My favourite place in the world. I wouldn't live anywhere else. Many other countries have beautiful natural landscapes... but Germany's cities and towns will make you fall in love. Seeing it every day, we Germans tend to take such beauty for granted. Videos like this are good reminder of how good we have it.
I'm Jealous. :) I can't stand that my father's parents left Germany to come to this rat hole (USA).

I was stationed in the city of Nuremberg for two years. I loved it there. I liked going to the smaller towns in the area because of the charm of the small towns and how nice the people were. I want to go back one more time.

It took 632 years to build this "church" (Not castle) called the Kölner Dom or Cologne Cathedral and therefore that building is now about twice as old as the United States is as an independent country. Which I've always found very crazy.
Wait, they are finished building the Kölner Dom?

Hello Heidi, I put together some guidelines for old European architecture:
1. if it has a cross on top, it is always a church - for most of the time, the church was the most important building, so they are often very splendid. May have one central tower or two identical towers next to each other, If the towers are extra spiky, it is a gothic-style church from the middle ages (like the Cologne dome)
2. a complex of buildings on a hilltop, surrounded by a wall: a defensive castle or fortress, most likely medieval - lots of tough neighborhoods back then.
3. very elaborate building complex with lots of fancy decorations, surrounded by a park: a residential palace of the former king, duke or whatever - definitely post-medieval (as medieval palaces would overlap with castles).
4. similar type of show-off building, but less fancy and in the middle of the city, next to the central marketplace: usually the city hall. Because the mayor and the city council were as important as the monarch and deserved an equally impressive building, right?
5. a row of big old-style houses, cramped on one side of the marketplace: those are the houses of the bigwigs of former times, like politicians or rich merchants who could afford the most prestigious real estate in the city center.
6. a big, circular building, often with a dome/cupola: most likely a theater or opera house.
7. a single tower just in the middle of the streets: this is a watchtower from the old city walls, often next to a gate or with a gated passage at the bottom level. You had to monitor who goes in and out and keep the bad guys from coming in.
Note that this only identifies the original use - of course, a castle may have become a palace over time or the residential building might have become the city hall when the king or duke was kicked out. Most of the churches are still churches though.
And finally, 8: If there are skyscrapers, it is Frankfurt - or "Mainhattan" as we call it. Never heard a comparison with Las Vegas, but that might fit as well.
👏
what a useless comment
I am Dutch, but my ancestors come from Germany. And I think Germany is a very beautiful country. However, if you come to Europe, be prepared for a mild culture shock. Prepare well. Maybe a week in Amsterdam first to get used to Europe a bit and you won't have a language problem there because everyone speaks good English. In shops and restaurants you are often addressed in English. But especially enjoy beautiful Germany. It's really very beautiful!
Hahaha, yeah, get high in Amsterdam and you won't be shocked about the rest of Europe lol
*Kulturschock - Viele Türken, Araber, Afghanen und Afrikaner. Kaum noch Deutsche.*
@@thorstenwinter6075 Behalt diesen verbalen Dreck für dich.
Bert - you know that Dutch people have mostly their origin in the tribe of the Bataver (a germatic tribe). By the way the Bataver have found a style of swimming that naval frogmen still use today.
@@brownhatknight3473 Well, I'm not descended from the Batavians. My roots are from both my father's side and my mother's side, as far as we have been able to determine, all from the Osnabrück, Bielefeld, Münster area. From there on foot to the Netherlands. The Netherlands was already an independent nation at that time, but Germany was not yet. Not a problem linguistically, because both in the east of the Netherlands and in the current west and north of Germany, only Plattdeutsch was spoken at that time, which was about the same language as the eastern Dutch dialects.
The building you were asking for (0:50) is the cologne cathedral, the biggest church in the world, measured by the internal height of the nave. Construction began in 1248 in Gothic style and was completed in 1880 (600 years later!!!) in neo-Gothic style. The church is so big that it needs to be repaired continuously. Once you're done with repairs, you have to start all over again. For me, the cathedral in Cologne is one of the most impressive buildings ever built. Of course, it is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Isnt the Münster in Ulm the tallest church?
@@lemonycricket3286 yes, the second tallest after Ulm but the tallest twin-spired. And the third tallest worldwide. It's one of the most important tourist destinations of Germany right next to the Cologne Central Station and the Rhine River.
@@jochendamm thanks for the clarification! Whats "twin-spired" though? Does it mean it has two towers so to speak? And thanks, I ll pay it a visit when I am in Cologne next time :)
@@lemonycricket3286 The "tallest" and the "biggest" don't necessarily have to be the same.
These are the measurements of the Ulm minster: 123.56 metres, a width of 48.8 metres, height 161.5 meters; the height of the central nave is 41.6 metres (136 ft), whilst the lateral naves are 20.55 metres (67.4 ft) high.
These are the measurements of Cologne Cathedral: length 144.5 m, width 86.25, height 157.22 meters; the central nave is 43.58 m high and the side-aisles 19.80 m.
The clock tower of the minster is higher, however the Cologne Cathedral is way bigger and also has a higher central nave.

Really? 😏
"German Statue of Liberty" made me smile, thank you so much. It is - kind of. It's the Hermannsdenkmal, a statue for Arminius, a germanic military leader who was in the roman army but turned on the Romans. He defeated them somewhere in the vicinity of the Teutoburger Wald - a few thousand germanic tribesmen against several roman legions of 10k highly trained soldiers each. It was one of the turning points of roman rule over Germania.
The Hermannsdenkmal has a little brother in New Ulm, Minnesota, USA.
There was never a Roman rule over Germania.
Yes, my homelan, too, at least where i grew up. It is the "Hermann", or Arminiusstatue near to Detmold or Hiddesen in good old Lippe. He just got more famous after the release of the Netflix series "Barbaren", or Barbarians for english speakers. One of the reasons why Roman Empire did never occupy "Germany", or the land inhabited by the different germanic tribes at that moment 2.000 years ago.
@@broncolausen7660 well.. they did "occupy" significant lands inhabited by different germanic tribes. and of some sorts they layed the foundation of "germany" - since the seat of the throne of the holy roman empire (later added with: "of the german nation") was and still is located in "aquae granni", nowadays aachen, west of cologne.
so.. long story short: as as the "holy roman empire (of the german nation)" is somewhat the strongest predecessor of something like the german nation - i'd say that the romans of some sort birthed the foundations of germany.

8:00 Hey Heidi. This is Castle Sanssouci in Potsdam - east germany. It's more than 250 years old. If you watching the original Video from Dr. Ludwig and turning on the subtitles, then you will get all the information you need about most of the individual places/cities and buildings in this Video. Dr. Ludwig connected the specific time stamps with the name of the original places.Thank you for share the beauty of germany with your followers and comment about it. Nice video. Greetings from northern germany.
09:45 - This is the Frauenkirche (Womens Church) in Dresden. The building was completely destroyed during the bombing of the city from 13 to 15 February 1945 during the Second World War. It lay in ruins for decades and was only rebuilt after the reunification of Germany. The dark stones visible in the otherwise light facade are the only remaining original stones of the original building.
14:00 - This is the city of Frankfurt am Main, the German banking capital and the only German city that has a skyscraper skyline similar to many US Cities.
17:20 - This is Moritzburg Castle, a hunting lodge of August the Strong, Elector of Saxony.
Just as a note, "Frauenkirche" doesn't translate to women's church. It's not obvious in modern German but "Frauen-" doesn't refer to the plural of "Frau" but rather is a now rather archaic form of a composite of the singular "Frau" and "Kirche". It's just one very specific woman, namely Mary, mother of Jesus, who is often called "unsere Liebe Frau" in Catholic tradition.
The official translation is "Church of Our Lady" by the way.
and the craziest thing about the dark stones is that not only are they the only remaining original stones from the building, but scientists and archaeologists took great care to put every one of them in their original place, too. 🤯
wrong, the church was never damaged during the bombings of the city. What happened was that a firestorm eruped during the bombings and the temperature was so high that the stones of the church turned to sand and the whole building collapsed, but like two days after the bombings.

I have lived my entire life in this country and this video shows me how beautiful it is. In everyday life, you often forget this, but in concentrated form with this music, it touches me in a very emotional way. As Germans, we often criticize ourselves the hardest and overlook the great legacy we have as a nation. In a globalized world, this probably matters less and is less significant, but even if it's not commonly acknowledged in this country. I am a little proud of my ancestors (except for a certain period in time that we would have been better off skipping). Seeing how you, as a U.S. citizen, enjoy it reminds me of what it is. Simply beautiful.
What you called "The german Statue of Liberty" is Armenius or "Herman der Cherusker". His Story is kinda the birth of Germany! He was the first Leader who united germanic Tribes to fight the Romans in the Year 9 AD in the "Varus Battle" (Varusschlacht). It was a great victory for the Germans and is the Birthmyth of Germany!
@@yvo2965 Until today they are not 100% sure where the Battle was... "Kalkriese" is the most possible place because of a lot finds of weapons from this timeperiod
Not true. Yes he united a few germanic tribes, but it was far from a "German unification" in fact his alliance also quickly dissolved and he was murdered.
And his fight against the Romans was also nothing more than his try to gain more power. No liberation fight, no fight for unity.
That myth is just some nationalistic propaganda from the late 19th century.
although you're right with the statue depicting arminius/hermann - i have to strongly disagree with you on the notion that arminius would be somewhat the birth of germany. in fact that would be either the carolingians - or way more likely the ottonians (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_the_Great), since the latter were the first ever to bring in the saxonians into the so called holy roman empire.
since arminius was killed by his fellow tribesmen soon after defeating varus the roman, he failed by uniting the germanic tribes. this myth you referring to was propagandized by the national socialist german workers party (nsdap) in the 1920-30'ies to instill some warfaring, superior germanic national pride (the arian übermensch).. deliberately contradicting the essential but social-democratic movement of german liberation, unification and national pride of the late 1840'ies.
long story short: "hermann der cherusker" ist nazi-propaganda.
well after the varus battle, the roman were so afraid, that they went back home and build a wall all through the land(der Limes) not daring to come as conqueror again..

I’m a huge sucker for beautiful videos like this with dramatic music 😅 this one got me all up in my feels and I’m not even German 😂 I think I need to visit our neighbors more often. Especially the north sea.
Germany does have beaches and Ive been there with my family many times. But Germany is also way further north than most of the US and it is just not as tropical over here. So most germans will travel to southern Europe for their beach vacations to enjoy the mediterranian sun in Spain, France, Italy or Greece.
Even if it's not exactly tropical beaches,I'd recommend a visit to Prora, for the architecture.
Well, not all Germans go south. Around 16 million Germans go on holiday in Denmark each year.
Despite our small country, we have the 16th longest coastal line in the world, and it's all sandy beaches, except for the island of Bornholm.
Germany has beaches on the North Sea, a lot of beaches...
Only the uncultured ones, real ones travel to the north sea and freeze of their balls while swimming
...and East Sea
It's funny. I live 20 minutes away from that one colourful palace that amazed you and I haven't visited it in ages. Same with my hometown, which was shown several times and you commented on. I know the places are impressive and beautiful, but watching you react to them makes me appreciate them more and want to visit them again. I guess I have a plan for next weekend! Thanks!
Around 25,000 castles, palaces and mansions bear witness to Germany's history: some of them are still in their old glory, others are ruins that remind you of times gone by
wow, there have been built another 5k ever since the guy above stated this already 😉
Heidi, I would recommend that you plan your trip around Germany well and in advance since it is a very large and culturally and geographically diverse country (especially between North and south, and between the cold war era East and West Germany).
You have to remember that Germany is a country the size of Montana and with a population of twice that of California. And contrary to the US the cities are generally smaller and more scattered around. :)
and Heidi, IF you come to Germany, don't expect too much appreciation for you YT nickname "HAIL Heidi", cooooould be probably misunderstood 😂
Germany is absolutely beautiful, but then again all the countries in Europe are beautiful and they all have so much history. Just think that some of those buildings are older than the entire USA and Australia.
Absolutely!

Heidi, I love your channel for supporting Europe so much! Keep going on to telling the story of we are not the "old" world. I appreciate that very much!
It's nice that you say in the video that's exactly where you want to go in Germanymy (my hometown). Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the most beautiful medieval town in Germany and the only town with a completely closed town wall, over 50 towers in the town wall and several fortifications. But what you admired there, this gate with the turret and the fountain in front of it, is the so-called Markus Tower where storks breed on top in spring. If you come to Germany and visit Rothenburg ob der Tauber, get in touch with me and I'll show you the town.
The places and cities were explained in the subtitles. Thank you so much for doing this video,I'm so glad you enjoyed that one!! 😍 At 5:05: Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber; 14:10: the round buliding is a hotel in the city of Frankfurt.
the "newer" building at 10:15 is the cathedral of Limburg and was build 1180 - 1235, but yes, the bright colors are the result of a restoration 1968 - 72
the Frauenkirche in Dresden ( 9:40 ) looks like something from Lego because it it was destroyed in the war and it is a reconstruction. The dark stones are original ones that are replaced exactly on their old place.
The "German Lady Liberty" 🙂 is the Hermannsdenkmal near Detmold. Hermann or Arminius ( his Latin Name ) is the hero of the "Battle of the Teutoburg Forrest" or "Varian Disaster" in 9 AD, the greatest militarily disaster of the Roman Empire, so it is some kind of a liberty monument, it is older ( 1838-75 ) and smaller ( 175.3 ft ) than the his New York sister
10:15 Yes Heidi, this building has had some renovations 😂 😇 A former bishop spent 31 Million on building his luxury bishop's see next to the cathedral
Never saw anyone being so happy to see colored roofs :D Little fact: In some areas of germany there are policies which color your roof can be, mostly in areas with historic buildings like you saw a bunch in the video. If the castle has grey roofs, the buildings near it often have to match the roof.
Aww, it's really great that you do this. I suggested this to a lot of reactors, none ever did it. I think its really beautiful, not just the scenes but also the music and all.
...
No one told you to turn on the subtitles? Everything is in the subtitles.
most beautiful place ever! i get goosebumps every time i go visit. i still have many destinations to visit.
Related to the Cologne Cathedral: The construction started in 1248 until 1528 when it stopped because the city didn't have anymore enough funds to continue. During the centuries the non-achieved buliding was maintained until construction restarted in 1842 and "finished" 1880. Anyhow because of the age of the building maintenace and reconstruction is an ongoing task forever. In Cologne they say that the cathedral without any scaffolding for maintenance is not possible. There is a saying in Cologne which says: When the last brick is placed on the cathedral and there is no need anymore for repairs, the last judgment day has come (which will never happen).
I am from Germany ( Born here ) and because there is a Military base ( US ) next to my hometown i know some american people, some of them are friends of mine. All of them saying the same thing like: „Germany is way better then the US ( i have never been there so idk) , but a few weeks ago, one of my best friends had some people visiting him and his parents from the US. I asked her ( her second week in Germany ) what she thinks is better ( she said Germany ) , she loves the people, cities and food ( which is way better here then in then US in her opinion ). She is going to start college in the US, but wants to move to Germany because she fell in love with our Country . Greets from Regensburg ( wonderful city, u should See it, its amazing )
The Hermannsdenkmal (The German Statue of Liberty) was actually the biggest statue in the western world until the US Statue of Liberty was built. And it indeed is about Hermann, or his Roman name 'Arminius', who defeated the Roman legions in the Battle of Teutoburg Forest and kept the German tribes independent from Rome.
I visited Detmold when I was a kid in the Nineties (my uncle was British Army stationed there) and remember visiting 'Hermann The German'.

Hi !, usually we say 'Hermann der Cherusker' ( Cherusker = name of an ancient germanic tribe)
Wonderful reaction, love your smile shining so brigthly.
You can activate the subtitles and it tells you what those places are ^^
I am so glad to see the second video of you without coughing, you seem to have fully recoverd. Take care, you really made me worry.
Love from Germany❤
WHAT?? Haha, I'll have to watch the original video again with subtitles on. Whoops. 🤣 Thank you!
Germany is my Home and for me the most beautiful country in the World!! So much history and pur architecture is unique …. I ´m so proud to be a part of such a beautiful culture , the country from wich fairy Tales are made ….
7:57 Sanssouci Palace is in Potsdam. A beautiful 1030 years old Town.
Pedestrians areas are a huge thing in German cities.
It is a way more relaxing way to experience the architecture than having to keep an eye on cars all the time. And of course you may just sit in the open at a café and enjoy your day. 🙂
At 7:56, that is Sanssouci Palace, the retreat of Frederick the Great, the Prussian king in the late 18th century. To honor him, people still lay a potato on his gravestone in the nearby garden. (seriously!)
1:45 It's a church, maybe the Kölner Dom or Cologne Cathedral in english
Not only maybe. It is.
Hallo Heidi, You did an amazing job talking about this video. Thank you for your wonderful commentary. Germany is so beautiful, that's for sure. It really warmed my heart to see this. You are awesome! Thank you!! Danke!!!
the green roofs on the Lübercker Holzentor are copper roofs which turn green over the years. the red stones are bricks that were built.
the roofs of many historic buildings are made or coated in bronze, so at the time of construction it would actually have looked golden. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. When copper oxidates/rusts, it turns green (as opposed to iron e.g. which turns red). That is why those roofs are green today.
Just imagine them being golden back then.
Ever since it was discovered how to make bronze it has been used as a substitute for gold in jewellery, weapons, construction, etc. Because it looks the same and is so much cheaper to produce.
Bronze is brittle and therefore not suitable for roofs. The roofs are made with pure copper. Many statues are made from bronze. Both become green with time.
Grünspan
@@hape3862 funnily enough the roofs nowadays started turning brown, so churches can now buy their copper roofs artifically turned green.
Also: Wooo Augschburg
@@hape3862 you are correct. My bad.

That was... wow. Full on castle pr0n. Medieval and Gothic architecture overload, that leaves you smiling!
What is crazy to me, is that most of central, western, eastern and southern Europe is kinda full of this stuff. (Even northern Europe has some, although our attractions tend to be mostly nature and other cultural aspects.)
Thanks for reaction!
I'm so glad the music got to you too. I recognised the first tune right away and it really suits the video. Victory - Two Steps From Hell. All their music is incredible, with a lot of epic orchestra like this, you should check them out.
Awesome video, loved your reactions on my country. Greetings from Bavaria.
The yellow palace in 7:59 is Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, close to Berlin. Prussian King Frederick the Great is buried there, it was his favourite place. He introduced potatoes to Germany in the 18th century and made them popular, so people bring potatoes instead of flowers to his grave. True story.
And the cute church in 10:15 that looks new to you was consecrated in the 13th century, it's the Late Romanesque/Early Gothic Limburg Cathedral. Keeping the polychrome exterior up to date makes it look newer than it is. It's not one of the big guns in German church architecture but I like it and I'm glad you like it, too.
Perhaps why I like Potato Pancakes with Sour cream.
My sister who has hollow legs - can swallow 20 of them

Through your videos, I see my home again with completely different eyes.
Berlin has 100-200 years of culture and is very young compared to the rest of the nation, nowhere are there as many castles and palaces as in Bavaria and NRW (North Rhine-Westphalia).
18Mio people live in North Rhine Westphalia and it is the largest metropolis in Germany, the engine of Germany they say here :)
Thank you for letting us watch you and sharing your emotions with us.

Man this was a nice promovideo for Germany :D Gotta visit some day o.o I've been there but it was many years ago.
The blue roofs are made from natural slate, so they appear blue.
The golden cross on the top of the mountain was the Zugspitze, the highest German mountain. It‘s kind of a Tradition throughout Europe to put a Cross on the summit of mountains, some wooden, some steel and even gold plated ones.
And the building that looks like Lego ( it’s the Frauenkirche at Dresden) you can actually get as a Lego building set 😏
0:50 Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) in the heart of the city I live in ❤
The funny thing about Germany 🇩🇪 is that we actually have almost no skyscrapers- not even in mayor cities - but there is one excaption: Frankfurt
Some call it „Mainhattan“ cause it’s right next to the „Main“ river 😂
better always explain from where the 'Main' originates in that name. I saw Americans get really upset about that name and I think it was because they thought 'Main' stands for the English word 'main'
17:18 This is Schloss Moritzburg. For Germans, this is *the* Cinderella Castle. It is one of the locations of the 1973 fairy tale movie "Drei Nüsse für Aschenbrödel" (Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella), which is always on TV in Germany at Christmas time. I dare say that in Germany it is even more popular than the Disney version of Cinderella.
The video is really great... The aerial views are amazing. I understand why you want to go to Germany
Lots of those buildings are cathedrals. If you really like brickwork the Netherlands had a architectural movement that heavily used decorative brickworks. The Amsterdam School is the name of it and it has some gorgeous examples in Amsterdam, at the name implies. Especially Het Schip is a really cool one.
The statue is indeed the Statue of Liberty for the Germans. It is called Hermann and symbolizes Arminius, who defeated the Romans in the Teutoburg Forest, granting freedom to the Germans from Roman invasion, also known as the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest under Varus. It represents the freedom of the Germans.
And is symbolic because (as we know it) it was the first time that different germanic tribes (that mostly fight each other) unified and showed that unified Germans are strong enough to even defeat the invulnerable romans. A highly romanticized Symbol in the mid 19th century where the german people starts to dream of a unified german nation.
I think we Germans are just not as good as Italians or French in marketing the beauty of our country. So only few outside Germany actually know about it. You can literally find beauty in Germany everywhere. And do not forget that this country lied in ruins 70 years ago. I am very grateful to all the people who helped rebuild it.
Yes, the video is selective, but honestly: I just spent a day in Frankfurt for reasons and had again the chance to admire what we have... I tend to think of all the architectural crimes of the post-war period (whoever thought Brutalism was a cool idea deserves to be kicked into and poured out with his beloved concrete...) but heck even my little home-town of zero importance features two manor houses (one fortified), a fortified church and a dependency of the Knight of the Teutonic Order (more of a manor house as well really) and it really takes someone from outside of Europe to admire this... Just take all the loverly Rhine and Moselle castles... my Grand Aunt used to live in the lovely town of Mayen (has also an awesome fortified town centre with an intact wall and a castle on top) and we went there along the rivers and visiting most of the castles at some point or the other, I know most of them, and it really takes something like this to realize this... I'm a mopey person by tendency, so 🤣 ...
Oh and Neuschwanstein is not a castle in the sense that it is defensible... it has *electrified artificial grottos* for crying out loud, it's a horribly expensive late 19th century indulgence project, half Wagner Opera backdrop and half late-romanticist tax sink... but pretty🤣 .
And the statue is of "Herman der Chereusker" - a Germanic tribal leader and former Roman Imperial (actually the early principate) Equitus ("Knight") and auxuiliae commanding officer who, upon seeing what to do and what not to do if you want to fight the Empire in the Dacian rebellion managed to unite a ton of Germanic tribes and deal *the one true defeat* to Rome at it`s apex of power by annihilating three Roman legions under Quinctilius Varus almost down to the last man and forever stopping Roman expansion on the Rhine Border... actually less because Rome couldn't have stomached (with a stomach cramp, granted) the loss but they no longer cared about owning a place where the weather is cold and rainy and the people so *profoundly hate you* that they even put their internal struggles aside to fight you.
Of course this in it's own good time lead *The Fall of the West* but( Caius Octavianus Caesar -) Augustus couldn't have seen *that* coming.

Finally some peaceful content and beautiful content just like Heidi.
Hello, at 50 seconds, it's the "Kölner Dom" Cologne Cathedral. It is the third tallest church in the world. Construction startet in 1248. It is a Gothic style cathedral. I live in Cologne, and the Dom is a really beautiful building. ❤
Everyone in Europe: Its a Church
Americans: Its a castle💁♂️
Watch it again, but with subtitles on!
All the names of the Buildings and locations are shown there
I believe the statue of Arminius is in rememberance of the battle of the teutoburger forrest in AD 9 when the german leader Arminius of the Cherrusci tribe (Hermann) who had been taken hostage at age 10 in the year 8 BC and romanised and trained in rome, turned away from the roman culture and switched back to his tribe. In the year 9AD he wiped out the complete army of 3 roman legions plus auxiliary trrops of the invading army under command of Publius Quinbtillius Varus.
The invicibly deemed roman armies were completely wiped out.
This seemed to have resulted in lowering the motivation of the roamns to conquer the germanic world tyhe way Julius Caesar had done with the Celtic world in france
Yes and no. It is correct that on the one hand Arminius/Hermann should be remembered but the actual reason for this building site is or was completely different.
Namely the German - French enmity after the defeats in the Napoleonic Wars!!
And there I appealed to old figures of national identity. And that's why the statue looks to the west and that's why it became Hermann ;-) Less because of the story about the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, but because of the symbolism ;-)
@@DerSchoko-Ritter As a hero I take Arminius every day over Vercingetorix.
@@666Maeglin Thats ya' Personal opinion but not the reason for that statue ;-)
Hello Heidi 👋. 1:46 The place you want to go to is "der Kölner Dom", the Cologne Cathedral. The cathedral is one of the mostimportant Catholic pilgrimage sites in all of Europe, because the bones of the holy three Kings are kept there. And also you will find the grave of Pocahontas there. Best regards from Bavaria
the green roofs are out of copper, thats why they turn green after few years. Its not about the roofs itself, handhelds are out of it sometimes too. First they turn black and then they turn green. Greetings from Berlin
If I would need to live in any other place in europe, it would be Germany. Will always be my second home :)
I'm convinced that the Music is from "Two Steps from Hell", they have made a lot of this kind of "Epic Music" without Vocals (or very little Vocals often as a Choir in the background).

It is a kind of liberty statue, the Hermann/Arminius monument.
Arminius became the leader of the Cherusci (a German tribe), united the German tribes and gave the Romans their most devastating defeat at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD when they wanted to conquer all of Germany (Germania magna).
The church at 10:01 is not a new one as you said, it is actually one of the oldest of it´s type, the main structure of the Limburger Dom is from the 9th century almost 1200 years old and the towers and facade you see now is from the 12th century one of the earliest gothic constructions in germany ontop of a romanic basilica.
Hello from Germany
At 6:22 it is the Hermannsdenkmal, it is in the Teutoburg Forest near Detmold.
The monument is intended to commemorate the Cheruscan prince Arminius, in particular the so-called Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which Germanic tribes under his leadership inflicted a decisive defeat on the three Roman legions XVII, XVIII and XIX under Publius Quinctilius Varus in the year 9.
With a figure height of 26.57 meters and a total height of 53.46 meters, it is the tallest statue in Germany and was the tallest statue in the western world from 1875 until the Statue of Liberty was erected in 1886.
Your reactions top some places and buildings in germany are so damn cute. I Love to watch your reaction Videos. ❤
Yeah, come on over. Well, if you think, you could see all of Germany, that is worth seeing, in like two months - most Germans don't make it in a lifetime. 🙂
And yes, we have beautiful beaches, North Sea and Baltic Sea, and people like to bathe in lakes, too. In my city, we have 2 natural sand beaches, right in the city area. And yes, people hang out there in summer. 🙂
As for the architecture - remember, how old Germany is. Although as political entity, Germany is not more than 150 years old (Otto von Bismarck's "Proto-Germany"), and has before been sometimes over 300(!) political entities, with own dialects, currency, taxes etc., we have more than 1000 years of history, regionally really different history. The house that I live in is more than 100 yrs old, totally common. If I walk 5 minutes, I come to a pharmacy store that is in a building more than 600 yrs old. The city has city rights since 800 yrs. Nothing special. I guess most churches in Germany are older than the USA, and I am pretty sure this is right. Walk into ANY church, and you will see, that they have also beautiful inside architecture and art. There are pubs that are older than most American cities. It is just a matter of time, you will see, that most of Europe is like this. Germany is very diverse in culture and history because many different regions have own traditions, architecture, nature, dialects etc. and their own history over more than 1000 yrs.
And it is quite huge for a European country, still, you can easily fit it into Texas entirely...
So yes, compared to the US, Germany is packed full of history wherever you go, and also old architecture which can differ a lot even in the same city and is from very different time periods. Therefore, city planning is a complete other task here, than it is in the US.
Yeah, visit Germany, you will not regret it.
And now the funny sarcastic comment, that is still meant in a very nice way: Maybe you can get political asylum as a refugee, with all the sh't going on in the US. ;-) Being exploited etc..... If you don't mind living in a "socialist country".
And please don't be offended, Germans have a dark humor. I tend to believe, that it is so dark and dry, that people in the US sometimes think we don't even have any humor at all. 😀
I thought, my City wouldn't be shown but it was the very last one, Karlsruhe in the south of Germany. But what you couldn't see in the video was the unique build of our City which looks like a fan from above. It's called Fan City and is the only one in Germany that looks like it... Founded in 1715 I think it was.
Thomas Jefferson was 1788 in Karlsruhe. He had the U.S. capital, Washington, planned according to sketches of the fan-shaped city that he had in his luggage.
@@b_bobsch6785 Why doesn't anyone ever mention that when talking about Washington? 😲 I had no idea that Karlsruhe is that famous!
@@tanjagalie8404 Don't know. Saw a documentary where this was mentioned.
@@b_bobsch6785 Thanks for letting me know!
Nice reaction :-) Greets from Germany. You're good.
Guys ,how can it be that nobody tells Heidi that the castle in the opening scene(0:40) is Neuschwanstein Castle. The template for the Disney castle
The houses do not have „brown wood on them“, the wood is usually made up of heavy oak beams which are actually responsible for the main structure of the buildings (wood beams instead of steel beams today) and the walls are simply „filled in“ between the beams and have little or no contribution to the structural integrity of the building! So it‘s not decoration, but function!
2:11 - The Niederwald monument: It is the statue of Germania as an angel of peace. Germania is the national personification of Germany. Fun fact: Germania plays a big symbolic role in the Rammstein video "Deutschland" (Rammstein, the German rock band you may know from the title "du hast" which was very successful in America).
🤘🤘"Deutschland" by Rammstein, the Song is great and the video a masterpiece
Why point towards a video of Rammstein when it comes to Germania? The depiction of Germania being black is outragious. No German in our history has been black, so depicting Germany as such is blackwashing.

Germany has many beautiful beaches on the North Sea and Baltic Sea. And numerous islands with great beaches. Unfortunately, the weather is only three months a year (mid-June to mid-September) really warm enough to sunbathe on the beach. And in this short high season it is crowded and expensive.
at 0:50 its the cathedral of cologne my hometown. the cathedral is in the centre of the city and its so majestic! if you stand infront the size and beauty of architecture is just overwhelming.
you can also climb to the top and have a beautiful view
By the way you can find entire villages with the white/brown cross hatched beams houses all over Germany. Most are from the 1600's and each house has been meticulously kept up. In some cases the walls bend because of the age. The ceilings are also very low, maybe people were a bit shorter then. I slept in one of them very long ago when visiting relatives and would go and get "Broetchen", crusty bread rolls each morning from the nearby bakery. Bakeries in Germany tend to be run by families not corporations. There are some 300 types of bread in Germany and its quality is just superb. I miss it a great deal here in the UK where good bread is hard to find.
I think you summed it up very well - yes, I myself have used your expression in the past - Europe resembles a "real life
Disney land"
Those timber houses you mentioned in - they're all over Germany.
You can also see them in the many Open Air Museums, which are like small cities full of ancient buildings.
At 0:50 it's the cathedral of Cologne. In German we call it " Kölner Dom "At 1:21 "Fachwerk". 3:19 this is "Arminius", we call him "Hermann". He led the Germanic tribes to victory against the Romans in 9 AD, against Roman enslavement.
In 1983, the German band "Geier Sturzflug" sang the song "Visit Europe". Back then it was the cold war and there was fear of nuclear war. I was 14 and wasn't as scared then as I am now. Friedel Geratsch sings in the song of "Geier Sturzflug" "Visit Europe! As long as it still stands." Sad that after 40 years we are again at the point of a nuclear threat. The song is up to date again. I hope that everything will turn out well.
