Hessian accent
The accent and dialect spoken in the area of Frankfurt am Main, Darmstadt and Wiesbaden is called Hessian, though it would be more precise to call it South Hessian. You can also hear it in neighbouring regions along the Main and Rhine rivers for example in Mainz or Aschaffenburg, even though these cities are situated in the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and Bavaria respectively. Its characteristics are: soft consonants, frequent use of diphthongs, and a very ubiquitous /æ/ sound.

Swiss accent
zhlédnutí 81KPřed 3 lety
Swiss German is the thickest of all dialects of the German language and even native speakers of German have trouble understanding it. In the German speaking part of Switzerland it is spoken throughout all regions and all social spheres, even in TV interviews and when talking to your boss. Fun fact: When somebody speaks Swiss German on German TV, Germans need subtitles to understand what is bein...

In Oppenheim in Rhenish Hesse in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate you can find one of the largest ossuaries in all of Germany. St. Michael's Chapel (Michaelskapelle) hosts the bones of 20,000 people who died here between 1400 and 1750. It stands in the churchyard of St. Catherine's Church (Katharinenkirche) and the bones are visible through the gate. The painting at 1:39 is a tryptich by Hans ...
Bavarian accent
zhlédnutí 20KPřed 4 lety
Bavaria is probably the most famous of all the German regions. The Bavarian accent and dialect are considered cultural assets and whereas in most parts of Germany accents and dialects are associated with a lack of cultivation, in Bavaria it is much more socially accepted to have an accent, even in a business context. This is how a Bavarian accent from Upper Bavaria would sound in English, it is...
The German town with the disgusting name - Darmstadt
zhlédnutí 7KPřed 4 lety
Darmstadt is a city in southwest Germany. With its four universities it is famous for sciences and popular with students, and it has got nice places like the Ludwigshöhe, Mathildenhöhe or the Großer Woog, a lake in the city centre. The only strange thing about it: its name. Darmstadt literally means Bowel City. How could that happen? What is the history of that name? Unique Places in Germany In...

Austrian accent - Vienna accent

In every other Hollywood movie zere's ze strange German guy viz ze strange accent. But there's more than one German accent, one of which is the Austrian accent.

    thank you THANK YOU for calling it vienna accent and not austrian accent because it's really just the viennese who talk like that (since it's...not the prettiest accent honestly, but very unique nonetheless) on the other hand, mighty impressive how well you pull the accent off, as a local I can say that your imitation is absolutely flawless, amazing!

    Standart German: "Neulich hatte ich ein bisschen Hunger und wollte mir einen Kabap holen. Es war abends, etwa acht Uhr. Aber als ich aus dem Haus kam, sah ich, dass es einen Unfall gegeben hatte. Ein Auto war in einen Bus gekracht und der Busfahrer stand unter Schock. Er sah mich an, als wäre er völlig benommen..." Swiss German: "Letschti hani chli äs hüngärli g'ha und hamär wellä än kchebab go holä ga. S'isch aabig g'si, öppä'n achti. Abär woni usäm huus uus bi, hani g'se, dassäs än unfall gä g'ha hät. Äs auto isch inän bus inädunnärät und dä busschofföör isch foll im schokch g'si. Är hät mich aag'luägt g'ha, wiä wännär föölig benäblät g'si wäri..." (ortografie slightly changed, to emphasis the differences in pronunciation).

    If swiss was an english 'dialect': Lastadaa, Ee ha beid abittly hungry, d'for Ee ha wana gawn a kkebab gaw get. T'has beid s'eivnig, appan aaktei. But werEe ha kkon ootmee hoos oot, Ee ha seid t'has an akzident beid. And a kkar has eetundeard eena bus beid. And d'bus kkondukteur has beid unter shokk. Hei has awpeikkig awmei beid, leek... tawttaly eena daaz. And den mee neksty dour naakboor, d'Mr Spättly, hei has kko runnig oothis hoos oot. And d'firsty werhei has dawd beid yellig awd'bus kkondukteur: "Haay, what d'f*ukk bei maakkig der? Kka neid parkear der, dis eis a preevaty groond!" Sunan a*hawl, d'Mr Spättly.

Where <kk> is the swissest of all sounds. Standard german with swiss accent can be difficult to understand. The video does an excellent job in showing this, well done 👏! Swiss dialects however are on a completely different level. I hope the example above illustrates this for non-german speakers.

      The same text w/o sound shifts: Last-a-day, I have been a-bit-ly hungry, therefore I have wanted go-n a kabap go get. It-has been to-evening, about-n eight-ei. But where-I have come out-my house out, I have seen it-has an accident been. And a car has in-thunder-ear-ed in-n-a bus been. And the bus conductor has been under shock. He has at-peeking at-me been, like... totally in-a daze. And then my next door neighbour, the Mr Spät-ly, he has come running out-his hause out. And the first-thing wher-he has done been at-yelling at-the-bus conductor: "Hey what the f*uck are marking there? Can not park-eare there, this is a private ground!" Such an a*hole, the Mr Spät-ly. But really: straight in-front of-my house! But luckily nobody has been really injured. And later-n we have-n out-found had, that the-whole thing has been recorded on-an camera, because the Mr Spät-ly the, has CCTV.

    Ein weiteres Problem, das mitllerweile eigentliche, ist die komplette Entästhetisierung der Menschen. Der heutige Mensch ist nur noch ein Vieh im Stall. Ja, seine Häuser sind Bestallungen. Das nimmt Leute mit sehr viel Geld nicht aus. Wie sollen solche Banausen gute Bauherren sein? Die Architektenschaft entspricht ihren Auftraggebern. Gute werden durch diesen Geldmob gar nicht beauftragt. Der Geldmob müsste seine kulturelle Minderwertigkeit erkennen und das schmeckt ihm nicht.

  • @zorngottes1778
    @zorngottes1778 Před 4 měsíci

    Das eigentliche Problem ist nicht, dass Altes durch Neues ersetzt wird sondern dass Gutes durch Schlechtes ersetzt wird. Unfähige Architekten möchen vermeiden, dass alte Gebäude trotz damals mangelnder Mittel als besser erkannt werden.

    Lo cierto es que la construccion de edificios alrededor de una catedral tiene dos opciones, o dejas que los especuladores se dedique a construir bloques de viviendas que destrocen el ambiente que rodea un monumento, o imponer la reconstruccion de las casas que habia antes de la destruccion por bombas de aviacion, y cuando esto no es posible obligar a que se ajusten a un estilo similar a las reconstridas, el caso de Dresden es una demostracion del exito del segundo sistema, en cambio Berlin es un ejemplo del fracaso del primer metodo.
