And dont take this kind of vids too seriously. This is not a surveillance state where every time you play your music a bit too loud you get right away arrested. This are just basic rules for people to live in peace together. Dont run around call people names and be a prick, respect the late hours when your neighbours try to sleep after a long day at work, dont pollute the ground water with your chemicals. Law or not law. This should be true in every country where people want to live together with respect.
Yes. Like if you are in agreement with your neighbours, nobody would ever call the police. He basically got the vibe.
I think that is also why it is considered very rude to insult police in Germany, because chances are you already made some peoples lives "miserable" and then you add another person to that list.
I am okay with the fine, because I will never pay it (I hope 😂)
Invide your neighbours to the Party and nobody calls the police.
Sundays are indeed very peaceful days to most germans. There is this wrong claim that in germany at sunday everything is closed. But that is not true. Everything that is for recreation and socializing is still open. Like cafes, restaurants, cinema, theater, museum, parks, bars, clubs, a lot of other family-friendly activities. It is a nice time to regain your energy, relax, spend some time with family or friends or just enjoy one day per week that has a slower pace. I love german sundays.
We can swim safely in our rivers and lakes. I live on Germany's largest lake, which provides drinking water for 4 million Germans. In the 70s, the lake was about to tip over. Laws and regulations.
6:10 actually, the water contamination would be a serious problem if we hadn’t got all those regulations… German sewage processing plants work with bacteria to get all the… well… whatever is flushed down the toilet… cleaned. If people were excessively using car cleaning detergents all on their own (remember: Germany has MANY MANY MANY cars!!!), the detergents would kill the bacteria in the sewage processing plants, leading to raw sewage (and toxic detergents) flowing into our rivers, killing the wildlife there and downstream up until the oceans. That imperfectly processed sewage is a major problem is something Germany learned the hard way during the 1960s and up until the early 1990s, when huge amounts of fish corpses were popping up in the rivers almost regularly…
The cleaning agents are not a problem for the sewage treatment plants. The problem is the oil that gets into the wastewater, which is why car repair shops and car washes must have an oil separator.
@@GreenFart174 Both are the problem. One more than the other, but neither is good.
3:40 …well, basically, better not insult a cop - or a lawyer, or a judge… with ordinary people, you have WAY better odds to simply get away with insulting language or gestures.
Fines aside from minor offenses are relative to your income. You get x days. Days in this case is your net income / 30. So if you make 3,000€ 1 day = 100€. If you get 10 days that's 1,000€ fine. If you make 2,000€ the same 10 days will cost you 667€. And this makes a lot of sense because there is no equal punishment in a 100€ fine for someone who makes 2,000€ and someone who makes 12,000€. Some fines appear to be insanely high for the offence but it is proportionate to their income.
1. You can drink tap water safely …because of such regulations as not washing your car in the street (and by that contaminating nature with soup and oil from the car).
I have friends in Bangladesh, who have not enough money to buy water in a shop. They rely on… dirty tap water. Wouldn‘t it be appropriate to ban contamination especially to help poor people?
Here in Germany our tap water is of best and reliable quality. Even homeless and beggars can ‚afford‘ it by going to public restrooms.
2. If you have a good relationship with your neighbours, you can drill and hammer on a Sunday.
And... actually everything is less strict, if you just tell them beforehand. If you ask them to be lenient for 2 hours as an exception, because you were at work all week and have this new cupboard to install… most will be tolerant.
There are clubs that are open on Sundays, Germany is the country of techno. Even on Good Friday we had techno parties in the 90s, it's not as strict as described in the video.
The regulation for quite days like "Karfreitag" are very Bundesländer (State) specific - in Bavaria for example the regulations are quite strict - e.g. from Thursday (Gründonnerstag) 2:00 to 24:00 on Saturday no clubs are are allowed to play music or any concerts can be held or professional football/handball games are banned.
On Sundays you can have Parties in Germany
Not on every Sunday, not in every state, if the Sunday coincides with a particular holiday - like e.g. Totensonntag.
Parties on a sunday? I do not know where you live, but Parties on Sundays are not allowed when they are to loud. On sundays everything has to be quiet. It is called Sonntagsruhe and tells you exactly what is and what is not allowed.
Insulting someone is defined in Germany as an "attack on a person's honor." Rudeness or tactlessness do not fall under this.
If, as mentioned in the video, you use a form of joke insults among friends that is accepted by both sides, they do not harm the person's honor and are therefore permitted. This is regulated by the fact that insults must be actively reported by the person who has been insulted, otherwise the police ignore them. Officials and soldiers are excluded; here, superiors can also write the report.
There is a reason for all this. Because the person does not simply have to accept the insult, but the state takes over the punishment, people with small egos do not have to resort to violence to restore their "honor". The time when it was still permitted to insult others was very, very wild...
the non dancing part was a seperate sentence for Holy days, sundays are besides Eatern just queit days not holy days - its because of the rest day for god in the bible on sunday, reasoned or trasspassed as source - in the middle ages there were forbidden at all to work on sundays, nowadays its affect "work to do which create annoying sounds. - Clubs could be open on sundays, because these are usuallly sound isolated facilities, otherwise there are forced to stay closed on quiet times . liike sundays
To have rules like this make your Life more easy.
When everyone know what to Do or Not do......
I'm working with Indians since 15 years and I remember one of my colleagues visited Germany and arrived on a Sunday - he thought WW3 had started and everyone was hiding in bunkers or so. He was so scared.
Another got so used to the quietness in general and especially on Sundays, that he no longer liked loud India.
Hello, I'm from Germany and I have suggestions for what else you could watch. The Anstalt Satire Show, ZDF Magazine Rolyal Satire Show, Midnight Peaks Satire Show and Realer Madness from Extra 3.
the more you conterminate the ground water the more issues you get with food and drinking water... most people still think that ground water is unlimited but sadly it's not and therefor you need to protect it... because all those chemicals that don't break down will find the way back into your body at some point (or your childres... and so on)
In Gemany you can drink tab water, because everyone has to ensure that no chemicals or oil, or other shit gets into the ground water system. You can brush your teeth whithout getting sick. And if you wash your hands, they are cleaner afterwards. Not dirtier, full of sh....That`s the reason why you are not allowed to wash your car on your own property, without having an oil and chemicals seperating system on ground. Is it worth it? Oh my god yes it is. Greetings from Karlsruhe, Germany
1:17 „Forbidden films“ (on certain „holy days“) include: „The last Temptation of Christ“, „Monty Python’s The Life of Brian“ and similar movies, but also certain… „genres“… of that are „adults only“, iirc.
Splitter!
@@jacquestricatel7055 …I think the main issue lies with the final song and its presentation…
Yes, parties are banned as well - if they produce to much noise in your neighbours places. The quiet time rules are not about specific acitvies. The video just listed examples for activities which can typially cross the treshold (as determined by judges, not by the law as such).
The point about the insults is a little tricky, because the legal concept of an insult is not the same as the colloquial one. You can legally say plenty of things, by which another person might feel insulted. For instance, you can never call somebody an asshole, because there is no way, that that is your real opinion about a fact (unless you can convince a judge, that you are indeed to stupid to distinguish between an actual person and the end part of a persons intestines). That is allways a pure insult, even if the person you addressed just commited a terrible crime before. Perhaps you may then call him a murderer, which you can do, if it is an assessment based on facts. Otherwise, it is also just an insult. There are grey zones, but I think, you get what that law is actually about. (And, again, the insults she presented in the video and the fines which were the results of them, are not a part of the law, but what a judge judged based on his assessment, how bad the insult was in that concrete situation - and that it actually was an insult there in the first place. Another example: There is a formal (Sie) and informal (du) word for "you" in the german language. It can be quite insulting, to call a grownup stranger (in person, not on the internet) by the informal form, you can use the wrong form as an insult. But that does not mean, that you are commiting crimes, if you just speak the language incorrectly or if you made an honest mistake. There was the case of an actor, who called a policeman "du", and it went to court. But he could prove, that that is what he calls everybody on his show, so that in his case, it was just the usual way he uses language. Therefore it was not particularly well mannered behaviour, but of cause, not an insult. But the point is: It can be, if you use it as an insult.
So, it is actually not that intimidating. And you can imagine, that cops are usually not guarding traffic lights in order to catch everybody who crosses at red. However, a random stranger might tell you, that children might watch your behaviour, imitate it and get knocked over by a car. I don´t do that. I only tell children who cross at red, that grownups might see that and that they are so stupid, that they might imitate the behaviour and get knocked over by a car.
nah bro most of the time insulting won't go to court and you get a letter that you have to solve your problems on your own.
Das Video war gut aber ihr habt das ein wenig missverstanden 😅👍🏼
I guess, the major difference is the bio-German attitude towards rules. They are not perceived as restriction but as protection. Not only the individual is protected but also tje society, communities, public assets, institutions, animals and nature.
Solidarity is required. It means that you do not care only for your needs & desires...I want to have a noisy party without approval of my neighbors on Sunday (yes, it is ok to party, ,ake music etc. If your neighbors are fine with it...just invite them!) or wash my car with chemicals, no matter what...
Protection of Sundays... social peace & time to relax, Red light = do not pass...protection of pedestrians crossing roads but also car drivers, who must rely on the pedestrians NOT crossing the roads at red light.
Protection of our outstanding water quality (no need to waste money by purchasing bottled water for drinking) and environnent from pollution by toxic car washing...etc.
People can trust each other and relax if written and unwritten rules are obeyed.
No, I do not think that Germany is overregulated at all. From my experience other countries have got much more rules and people are not free to live their lifes...in particular unwritten rules, family- and social pressures are an issue. The stress level is usually higher since people do not follow law & order properly, are punished / restricted by families or communities or religious leaders, and they tend to take advantage of each other.
Everything must be "negotiated" again and again. No common understanding and red lines. Annoying, wasteful and unfair. Most Grrmans hate negotiating anyway. It is regarded as shady...the attempt to fleece you.
The increasing problem are migrants, who do not understand our culture & system, are less educated (e.g. driving license training is missing), differently socialized (e.g. refuse rule of law, do not accept authorities, are more aggressiv and violent etc.), possess other values (e.g. gender equality, honor issues)...and finally undermine a system & culture, they originally wanted to take benefit of.
You guys don't think enough about consequences of what you are doing yet. In Germany we are taugt to think about! That's the true reason about these laws!
Merci !

Don't take this vids too seriously.
1. Yes, you could be punished seriously for insults, but you need to be sued. If the guy you call an "asshole" doesn't bother, nothing will happen.
2. Yes, when walking the pedestrian crossing while red light is expensive, it cost nothing if you do it 2 meters to the right or the left of it...
Washing your car however IS forbidden. However, we have a saying: "Where there is no plaintiff, there is no judge"
This is a ridiculous video. There are customs in every country. If you do not hinder your neighbors, you usually can do whatever you want.
