These Ping Pong Tables are on many playgrounds. They are very durable. The net is made from metal and the plate is concrete or something. They suck compared to a normal one but many people don't have a garden and its still better than having no Ping Pong table at all.
They are OK.. Wind is the biggest issue with outside tables imo
wind and ball jumping higher haha
Only way to have an outside table that doesn't get wrecked after half a day pretty much.

Realer Irrsinn aka True Insanity is part of the Extra 3 show that amazes many Germans as well. It's a mirror of absurdities, and it's good they are around. To show us Germans our flaws. It's educational in a way. 😅
It is satire - they always find the most absurd stuff that happens somewhere in Germany and point out how absurd or insane it is.
I looooove extra3❤
Yeah...but its sometimes very triggering that the german state is spending millions for some stupid garbage
@@LeroxYT genau
@@LeroxYT But they have to. Because the cities get a bunch of money to work with throughout the year and if they don't spend everything, they get less for the next year. Government says you get as much as you need in prior, so there are always capacities to spend money on something senseless and silly, just in case the next year has a real expensive and really necessary investment in charge. Cities are expected to use the money, no matter how. Actually it's good to have what you need as a city, but the concept of getting less the next year is somewhat stupid imho.
Kassel is a city in the state of Hesse in Germany. Some people forget that it is normal for children to be noisy. The mother is so right instead of complaining to the office you could have clarified it personally.
If they really screamed loudly from their balcony at the kids, just imagine someone documenting this and the company dropping some rocks right onto there 😂
Good joke. 👍🤣@@DalaiDrama-hp6oj

"Realer Irrsinn: Lautsprecher gegen Adler" is my all time favorite of this show, complete madness. 🙈
I love "Baum auf Radweg" and "Grabenlaub und Straßenlaub" 🤣
Lautsprecher gegen Adler ist großartig!
Ich kann auch den Beitrag über Fahrradbügel in Berlin empfehlen 😅
@@inoel75 Ich erinnere mich an "Zugepollerter Radweg", aber das war woanders.
I like the one about some sightseing platform in the middle of nowhere, where trees block the view to the scenery
My favorite is the tunnel simulation. It's hilarious (well, until you realize how much money these absurdities waste)
The German word for castle is Burg. That is, the fortified building where nobility lives is Burg. A more palace like "castle" that isn't really fortified is called Schloss. Not to be confused with a lock, which is also called Schloss.
I think the word castle comes from the Latin word castillo? As such it isn't Germanic and thus the German word has a different root.
And to complete the confusion, the English word "burg" means "Kaff" in German. It is quite easy to mix everything up.
Burg is a castle for defending the lands around, no nobility there.
Schloss is not primarily constructed with protection in mind but for showing off of the wealth. Though it wasnt uncommon to repurpose a Burg into a Schloss.
There is the German word "Kastell" though, which means fort or castle.
@@groundloss That's not true, castles (as in Burg or Veste) were almost always a place to live and not necessarily to defend anything. Usually it was both but, with a few exceptions of course, you wouldn't actually find castles that weren't for living and definitely also for nobility, who else would even build castles? Later, when castles lost their purpose as fortification (although it is disputed how effective they were even at the time they were built that way), nobility started building palaces (aka Schloss) just as big houses that looked good. Those things never really existed at the same time. Even later, in the 19th century, some rich nobility started constructing palaces (or renovating old castle ruins) that looked like the old castles because stories about knights were popular then, for example Neuschwanstein or Schloss Drachenburg near Köln. The term 'Schloss', as far as I know, originated in the 16th century.
@@uztre6789 And in Kassel the nobility even build the "ruin of a castle", because they thought that THAT would look cool, to have some ruins to walk through, you know...
I guess it was during the romantic period when something old but broken became a "nice to have" thing for those who allready had everything, like those guys from Hessen-Kassel.
"is it common to see a pingpong table with a stiff net" well it is if it's supposed to go through armageddon (mostly decades of kids and drunk vandals) successfully. the net is a thick holepunched metal sheet cemented right into the concrete table. slap on some green and white paint, there you go, invincible table nobody wants to play on.
Was about to write the same. You can hide from a nuclear blast under those ping pong tables and have good chances to survive. xD
It’s pretty much just a bank to sit on
I have seen people play on one of these things at a nearby playground.
That ping pong table is the standard model. Can't walk 500m in a city without seeing it at least once
03:28 That Ping Pong table is in better shape then most of the ones I have seen
"Realer Irrsinn" translates to "True madness" or "Really nuts".
😁
"Realer Irrsinn" is Germany in a nutshell about burocracy we have to fight every day with. And in this case here in the video we have a German saying: "Man kann nicht in frieden leben, wenn es dem Nachbar nicht gefällt." (You can`t live in peace if your neighbor is not pleased). Edit: Oh and about the Ping Pong Table. Yes it`s very commen to use metal for every public places to replace a net by metal. Like also Football goals or Basketball baskets. Because a net will be destroyed after a view days the past showed.
The name of Kassel derived from a Royal estate called Chassalla (around 913 AD), and that name could either be derived from Latin castellum (which became castle in England) or from Frankonian "cas sali" (roughly (town- or king's) "hall in valley"). A castle would either a "Burg" (fortified) or "Schloss" (a palace) in German.
This is a typical game for German kids and teens. It’s called Eierlappen (Egg rag). basically you kick the ball against a wall and the next kid has to kick it against the wall and so on, you have to be quick because if you’re not fast enough the ball ricochets from the wall and goes all the way back in the playground so the next kid has to shoot from there.
It can be played at any wall, usually kids use random house walls (which annoys the people living inside) or in this case a random concrete wall at the playground.
Everyone gets a number of lives (lets say 3) and whenever someone misses their shot (misses the wall) they lose a life. The last person standing receives a “crown” which is basically an extra life they can choose to use when their lives run out in order to continue playing
Uh, I remember playing that when I visited Germany. The loser had to lean against the wall and everyone got the opportunity to kick the ball at the loser's butt. If you're really unlucky, you got someone from a soccer team who is precise and has a strong kick who made it really uncomfortable to sit afterwards
We played that in South Africa too. For some reason they were called 'dogs lives'
"I remembered the name of the show and didn't have to Google it for 10 minutes"
Mein Bruder Jesu you got 3 reaction videos on your channel with links in the description.
Boomer: "Kids only sit at their computers or have their smartphones under their noses!"
Also Boomer, when children play outside: *complain*
Gee, they're just kids and I don't believe from experience that these kids in Kassel made much noise. Here in our village, an old crow (everyone hates this old lady!) in the house complained about kids playing soccer in the street (low traffic zone) for maybe an hour or so a day, outside of quiet hours. The witch was hit by a storm of indignation and is since then, fortunately, silent.
As my children were small and played loud outside I apologized to my old neighbour.
She answered that she Geld so happy to hear children playing outside and that is so quiet in her life, so it is really nice to take part at their hapiness.
I hope I will become like her when I am old
Yeah, as some of the more famous fables there are the "Schildbürger", and somehow we love to make them reality 😄
Football in this context is soccer, which is also 'football' in English English. Presumably the point to the boulders was to slow down the kids, acting like child speed bumps and therefore, hopefully, reducing the noise. It is not clear it is even intended to be a playground. Actual intended playgrounds have the usual playground slides and things, even here in Germany.
Good German series to consider are 'Der Lehrer' ('The Teacher,' which is a high school drama with some good romantic comedy undertones starting 2nd season), 'Notruf Hafenkante' ('Emergency Harbour's Edge' which is a police/hospital series set in Hamburg) or 'Hubert Ohne Staller' (Hubert without Staller, formally 'Hubert and Staller,' a police comedy/drama)
Let's put boulders on noisy roads to reduce noisepollution there aswell ! maybe even reduce emissions 😂
ping pong tables with a stiff net are the norm for german playgrounds/schools, way more durable
Yes, it's just an outdoor version of concrete and metal, which can not be easily stolen or destroyed like the official sport version.
ping pong table on public playgrounds are often made of concrete with a metal/steel net. So it can stand outside day and night, and all weather conditions.
that show is actually hilarious, german humour is on another level hahahah

As a Dutch person I have to say this is so German LMAO
"Castle" translates to Festung, Burg or Schloss, depending on context.
Though notably a Festung or Burg you'd sometimes call a castle in english, but other times a fortress or tower, and Schloss can be what you'd imagine as a "Castle" but sometimes it's also just a mansion/villa.
We _do_ have the word "Kastell" (which isn't just a translation, it's literally the same word as castle just pronounced more german-y; both derived from the latin _castellum_ ), but it's not very frequently used.
Whereas “Schloss” is a castle to live in (like a palace which means “Palast” and is only for kings and queens), a “Burg” has more of a military purpose, i.e. to fortify the river Rhine / Rhein
Das kann man alles so pauschal nicht sagen, da sich vieles überschneidet, mit der Zeit ändert und Nuancen in der Benennung einen enormen Unterschied machen.
Palast kommt von Palatin (den 7 Hügeln Roms) das bevorzugte Wohnviertel, wo seit Augustus auch die Kaiser ihre Residenz hatten.
Paläste (nach der heutigen Wortverwendung her) haben nicht nur Könige und Königinnen bewohnt und selbst im Ursprung (siehe oben) wohnten da nicht nur die Kaiser. Im übrigen nannte man im Mittelalter den bewohnten (bevorzugten) Teil (Wohnbau) einer Burg "Palas" wo die Ritter und ihre Familien wohnten. Diese Wohnbereiche umfassten jedoch auch spezielle größere Räume wo sich Gesellschaften z.B. zum Essen trafen.
Zudem gibt es die "Pfalz" was sowas wie "fürstliche Wohnung" bedeutet und von palantia/palatia/palatium (also Palast) hergeleitet ist. Dort gab es dann residierende Pfalzgrafen (Palatini) oder Bischöfe, die ggü. dem König in der sogenannten Gastungspflicht standen, wenn er auf Reisen war, also ihn beherbergen und bewirten mussten.
Die saalartigen (Palas-)Gebäude dienten für Versammlungen (Hoftage, Gerichte, Feste, etc.), zum Empfang und zur Bewirtung von Gästen. Die Pfalzen waren oft befestigte Anlagen eigentlich wie Burgen, nur weitläufiger mit Stallungen bspw. um den ganzen Tross aufnehmen zu können. Damals äußerlich noch nicht so repräsentativ bspw. dekorativ gestaltet, sondern ehern funktional wie Burgen.
Später hingegen wurden königliche Paläste immer aufwendiger und verschwenderischer als die Könige nicht mehr ständig umherreisten. Es entwickelten sich Hofstaaten am Königshof, also Adelige, die die königliche Familie unmittelbar und ständig umgaben. Diese gab es auf dem Land oder als Stadtpalast.
Als Schloss sieht man die Residenz an, wo der Souverän (Souveräne konnten auch Fürsten sein, nicht nur Könige und Königinnen) wohnt. Erweitert werden große Herren- und Gutshäuser u.U. auch als Schloss bezeichnet. Nochmal, als Palast sieht man repräsentative Gebäude mit Sälen zum Empfang von Gästen u.ä. an.
Schloss Versailles in Frankreich (20km vor Paris) war der Landsitz (Sommersitz) des frz. Königs und ist gleichzeitig eine der größten Palastanlagen Europas. Zunächst lediglich als kleines Jagdschloss geplant wurde es später zur Hauptresidenz des Königs und seines mehrere tausend Personen umfassenden Hofstaats zum Palast (u.a. Spiegelsaal) ausgebaut.
Der Louvre-Palast (Palais du Louvre) war Teil der Residenz des frz. Königs in Paris selbst. Zusammen mit dem Palais des Tuileries bildete er das Pariser Stadtschloss. Ursprünglich war er jedoch ein kompakter Festungsbau zum Schutz des rechten Seineufers. Als die Stadt jedoch wuchs und ein Mauerring die Stadt umgab, wurde er zum Residenzschloss umgebaut.
Während der Hofstaat im Sommer aufs Land flüchtete, hatte der Landadel eigene Wohnsitze in der Form, die wir als 'Stadtpalais' (nicht Stadtpalast!) kennen. Das waren schlossartige Villen. Ursprünglich als Wirtschaftshöfe und Handelsstützpunkte gedacht, hatten sie Ställe, Scheunen und Trakte für Gesinde, wurden dann aber immer wichtiger um in der Nähe von Fürstenhöfen zu sein um mehr Einfluss und Ämter zu ergattern und damit Prestigeobjekte zur Repräsentation.
Mit der Abschaffung der Grundherrschaft und des Leibeigentums kamen nicht-adelige, oft industrielle Unternehmer (Geldadel) in den Besitz solcher Stadtpalais. Und heute kann sich sprichwörtlich jeder (im Verhältnis) einen 'Palast' bauen, bzw. bezeichnet man (im Vergleich) teure, große, extravagante Häuser als solche auch wenn sie nicht unbedingt Festsäle haben. 😅
Und da mein Kommentar noch nicht lang genug ist nun noch zum Kastell:
1 zu 1 'kann' man das mit 'castle' übersetzen (Leo sagt mir Burg, Schloss oder Kastell), im Deutschen unterscheidet man aber im Kontext.
Es gibt allgemein Burgen und diverse Typen von Burgen. So auch eine 'Kastellburg'.
Diese stammen aus der Spätzeit des Burgenbaus, also haben mit Ritterburgen nicht mehr viel zu tun. Während frühere Burgen innen hochbauende Gebäude mit einer umschließenden Mauer/Befestigung haben, hat eine ideale Kastellburg Gebäude an der Innenseite des meist viereckigen Mauerzuges. Also die Außenmauern der Gebäude sind gleichzeitig die verstärkten Burgmauern. An den Ecken befinden sich Bastionen, die mit Wehrgängen verbunden sind und oft für Feuerwaffen (Kanonen) ausgelegt sind. Im Inneren findet sich ein Hof.
Diese quadratische Form stell idealtypisch den Übergang vom Burgenbau zum noch befestigten Schlossbau dar, was wir dann im Gegensatz zu den nicht mehr befestigten Schlössern dann 'Schlossburgen' nennen.
Redet jemand mit mir lediglich über 'Kastelle', so stelle ich mir eine mit einer Mauer befestige weitläufigere Art Kaserne für eine größere Anzahl von Soldaten mit mehreren einzelstehenden Gebäuden vor, wie es die Römer mit ihren Heerlagern bspw. gemacht haben.
Alles klar soweit? Ich hoffe, ich konnte etwas beitragen, was Ihr noch nicht wusstet.
And then there is "Kastl", which means _little box._
@@Wildcard71 which comes from Kasten (= box)
The name Kassel is derived from the names Chassella or Chassalla. From this it can be concluded that it was a fortified house with a stone base, perhaps even a castle-like structure. The name is derived from the Latin word castellum. Immerse yourself in history. On February 18, 913, King Konrad I signed two documents in what was then Chassalla or Chassella - the first written evidence of the existence of Kassel.Kassel is therefore 1110 years old.
So typical A neighbor feels disturbed and everyone has to suffer This is called Schildbürger
Funny how he shows the calendar with the noise documentation and half the page says he was on vacation :D
I'm really happy that Ryan now knows about my Hometowns existence
There is a law or precedence in Germany that children 's noise cannot be the reason for complaints in the neighborhood. Except football/soccer. This video clip is from a satirical tv show which is known for mocking stubborn grumpiness. So if a case shines up here it is an outlier not representative for germany. Though you can have toxic neighbors, and they can be a p i t a. But at least those people have no guns here and no stay-your-ground laws...
This somehow reminds me of what happened in my hometown about 20 years ago. A neighbour was complaining because sometimes a ball landed on his yard, when the kids were playing on the playground. The result: They forbid playing ballgames on the playground!
Wow, didn't know that there was an actual castle in Kassel... And I have been there several times, only in the wrong places it seems...
Auch ohne die Steine ist das der traurgiste Tropf von Spielplatz ever
Thing is, German settlements are usually pretty crammed. Another fact is that kids can be extremely enduring and f***ing loud. There are enough kids that emit enough noise to make the inside of living rooms of neighbours too loud to match work safety regulations for employees on their jobs.
In Germany, a quarter of the U.S. population live on 1/27th of the USA's area, so the chances of annoying somebody else with the noise you make simply are much higher.
Me, I live right next to Cologne/Bonn airport. When in 2010 the airport got closed due to the ash cloud ejected by Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull, I learned about that from the news. Most of the time I can't hear the airliners starting some 3 kilometres from my place over the noise in the street. I have the Physics-Toolbar app on my smartphone. This only makes very rough measurements, but an ambulance passing in the street getting measured at 105dB of noise level in my apartment is hefty, I'd say. Honking wedding parties, loud car engines and car stereos that inform da hood about the size of the driver's genitals, football championship celebrations in summer nights when it's too hot to keep a window closed…
It's extremely loud in our country in many places and adding unnecessary noise to that of course is not welcome.
So stop crying, whiny mom. Teach your children a somewhat more respectful kind of behaviour. It's bloody crammed Germany. I don't like it either, we all have to put up with it, though.
I had to get along with that when I was a kid, too. I had a mother who taught me to do so.
I just know it's gonna be realer Irrsinn 😂😂
Edit: and I was correct lmao
5:24 yes we play football everywhere and we also use everything as a ball like stones cans etc
3:18 I'm 46 now and I know ping pong tables from my childhood that are still in perfect condition today. The "nets" are only used on public playgrounds. They last almost forever.
It's so cute, when you trying to guess what the words means 😊
FYI: It wasn't the government or any authority putting the boulders down but the privately owned housing association and I'm pretty sure the expenses for delivering and taking them away will show up on their bill of utility cost at the end of the year. And yes, Germans really do hate noise but at the same time every day someone is mowing their lawn somewhere.
Still, whoever came up with the idea and whoever signed off this idea needs a severe whack to the head for being this stupid.
This table tennis table is made of concrete and has a steel net because the table is outside all year round. "Weatherproof"
You actually mentioned the real issue Germany has. At least where I am from (not Kassel), and in my opinion . Why does this kid has to play ball at such a crappy place? We replaced our playgrounds with parking lots until their are just tiny block playgrounds left which where never intended for ball games.
Let's get back to letting old granny and grandpa play ping pong there and give our kids more and better suited playgrounds again.
there is actually a law that basically says 'for x amount of households, there has to be a playground nearby' so no wonder in more packed areas there are some sad playgrounds because they had to squeeze something somewhere due to this law
Kassel probably comes from castellus, so it refers to a castle or at least a fortified stone manor that was there. But the German word for castle is either Burg (medieval fortification with at least one tower) or Schloss (refers more to a palace like building).
The Schloss Wilhelmshöhe (palace like castle) was built from 1786 to 1798 and the Löwenburg (also a palace but in a fake medieval look) with its many was built a few years later as a part of the park surrounding the palace.
I would give my kids a hammer and then they should play stone cutters 😂
But jokes aside, our highest court has made a judgment, that says noises made by playing children isn't a noise pollution.
Are they allowed to play with dangerous weapons?
It wasn't the government. It was the landlord.
The commentary in Realer Irrsinn is often full of plays on words in a "dad joke" kind of way. These are more often than not completely lost in translation, but this time the "set in stone" one actually worked perfectly.
Honestly the playground in my school had similar boulders and we always played something similar to the floor is lava combined with blind tag
Like one person is choosen that isn’t allowed to look and has to catch the others while they aren’t allowed to touch the floor
It says it all when there is an extra section that only deals with such cases 🤣
It's just that a public ping pong table with soft net would keep that net for one day.
Do not be surprised about such complaints, because there are even people who buy a house at a sports field, public outdoor pool or other noisy places and then complain to the city or municipality about the noise;) And yes, the noisy square was there before.
you speak irrsinn quite correctly, in germany we pronounce ea by saying both letters so realer is not ree-ler but re-uh-ler or something
Sometimes I can hear, when there is nice weather. Not far away from where I live is a Kita or similar. And I hear the kids playing outside.
It's not the government taking the photos, it's the HOA.
In our residential area, a playground should be built on a designated piece of land. All homeowners knew this in advance. But a woman, she had her property with a house right next to it, she wanted to ban the playground from being built there. Because she was unsuccessful with her lawsuit, she wanted to buy the property, but that wasn't approved either, the playground was built and the woman sold her house and moved away. "It wasn't a loss"
Greetings fron Kassel. Thanks God i had patient neibours. My son is 28 now :-))))
Ryan, I love that u greet us in german every time. BUT please learn how to pronounce the "O" in "HALLO" correctly. :)
Much love!
Kassel, older writing Cassel derives from Chasella which is derived from the Latain word castellum.
So Kassel does not means castle in German but the name and the English word castle derive from the same Latain word.
In Kassel was a court of king Konrad I and king Heinrich II which was maybe not a real big castle but more of a fortified manor.
They probably play a game there that is called bavarian wall (Bayrische Wand in German). At least thats what we called it, i couldnt find anything on the internet about it lol
3:20 most average german outdoor ping pong table. Probably common in other regions too.
Cassel is only the name of a city - but if you go back far enough, it actually comes from the same root as the english word "castle."
The German word for Castel is Burg.
Kassel is a town. In german it is speaken with dubbel S, => Kas sel.
And I as a german sit here and laughs about your guesses what the title could mean - knowing that Kassel is a big city and not a castle🤣
One theory is that "Kassel" derives from the Latin "castellum" (fortress). So it might indeed be the same as English "castle" etymologically.
If you look at your task bar on the right, you'll see that windows has new updates which it wants to install or restart for that purpose - thats why your screen was flickering.
watch an episode of "verstehen sie spaß" I loved that show when I was younger
As the saying goes "my home is in Kassel"....or something like that ;)
In Germany we don't play Super Mario Bros. 2
In Germany we play Kasselvania III
These are the tombstones of German child-friendliness.
btw regarding that pingpong table: "armageddon" in German is called "fall + winter"
I highly recommend the bridge and bike lane story from Bremen. It’s actually a trilogy, but this is part 1: czcams.com/video/pNuFQyfPQv8/video.html

The Pingpong Table is called Vandalism-Proof. It is made from concrete and steel.
We have a saying:
"The most pious cannot live in peace if the evil neighbor does not like it." 🤷🏼♀️
Some people move into areas that they then want to transform according to their will.
With us in the village there is a new fellow citizen who has already complained against pretty much everything.
Against ringing church bells, against a playground next to his house, which has been there for 50 years, against crowing roosters, oh yes, against the siren exercises on Saturday, too. He is of the opinion "Everything is not going at all, everything is much too loud."
Thankfully, the judges have so far been of the opinion "No one forced you to move there". 😁
Boomers putting boulders on playgrounds before going on Facebook ranting about how the lazy youth just stays at home playing videogames.
yeah... so the pingpong table... that is quite common for outdoor... its build mostly of concrete and has a metal grate as a net... ist sturdy and can basicly last in any german weather... so its low meintenance... its not that good to play on... but it works
And then I'm here, having 17hours+ during warm days of loud motor cycling noises, getting a letter from the county that they controlled the traffic but could not find any unusual noise of bikers when they watched the traffic on the 8th of December. YOU DONT SAY!
I think the car noise is terrible. So: boulders in Kassel parking lots.
Often it's new people who move to the area/street and then start complaining about everything they don't like. The same happened near me. There was a proper football ground used by the local club built around 1935 or so. Someone moved in to a house next to the grounds and then started to complain about the noise when the team was training or the local league games were played at weekends. Normal people would expect to hear the noise before moving there, if you don't like it don't move there.
My mother was born in Hannover but raised in Kassel along with her older brother. Later my parents started their marriage in Kassel AND my oldest Sister was born there. I know from her that the people of Kassel where - in some aspects - special... but boulders on a playground? COME ON GUYS!
She also tought me, that in Kassel (well at least in her childhood) there where three kinds of citizens (not in the eyes of the law or anything like that BUT in the eyes of the "elderly women" and the "elderly men" for sure...): those who moved in from different cities or areas - "Kasseler" those who where born and raised in Kassel BUT had been the first generation (parents came from out of town) "Kasselaner" and finally those who lived for several generations within the city: "Kasselener"
Dont know of this is still an issue today, but this is a channel to share knowledge isn't it?😉
Kasseläner ARE special! I am one so I know. The other types are almost imposters.
I was raised and still live there, and honestly I have experience very little of what you're describing.
But I'm also from one if those "Zuzieher" families and we have very little to do with the culture of hessen or the city kassel itself
Amazing!
Some German cities can be just as provincial as a village in the middle farming land.😂
@@jurassicpeter Well, as I said, it was knowlegde from her childhood and youth which would have been from the '50, '60 and '70 of the last century so LONG ago!
My parents moved from there to the area of and later in to the town of Aachen, where two other sisters (Herzogenrath und Aachen) and I myself (Aachen) where born.
So my Mother was a Kasseler, my oldest sister a Kasselaner and I was "en öscher Keng" - but today none of us lives in either of those cities. I myself live in Berlin today, my sisters almost all over Germany...
@@kleinweichkleinweich It is a good thing, that you cant throw them out into space... I think
I know this story. I lived in Kassel. But at this point i would say its typical german more like typical Kassel. Its a special City xD
As someone going to university in Kassel, I had to watch this 😂
"My home is my castle" - "Ich wohne in Kassel"
I don't understand why they didn't let the boulders stay. They made great climbing toys, and you could even play kind of soccer around them in a more challenging way. I think that could have been a great source of fun for the kids,
Yes, we play FOOTBALL in places like that
Which in the USA they perceive as soccer. Because they already use the word football for their handegg.
Ah, Kassel, my birthplace. A nice, loud city :D
I remember that one of the highest courts in Germany ruled that children's noise is not noise. These are the inevitable birth pangs of a new generation. You can no longer bring a lawsuit against children's noise.
Thats a complete normal ping-pong-table for geman playgrounds and schoolyards😅
The children play soccer on this playground, but football is the word-to-word translation for the German word Fußball (foot=Fuß, Ball=Ball). Football as you know it in America hardly exists in Germany, soccer is particularly popular here.
The people who complained about the noise were never children. But such reactions are the order of the day in Germany. This is just normal madness.
Small note: It´s pronounced more like reAler Irsinn (in german you stress the "a" in real).
Children's noises are actually protected by law in Germany, because they are essential for the free development of a child. So technically they are allowed to be noisy on a Sunday. Usually parents advise them to be quiet, but that usually doesn't work.
And people living next to a playground complaining about the noise are their own kind of special breed.
4:04 It's not the government, it's a housing company.
Kassel is my hometown, right in the middle of Germany 😊 Greetings from Kassel 🤗 We don't hate kids btw 😅Oh btw. Kassel has the biggest mountain Park in Europe (Unesco world heritage) and many of the fairytales from the Grimm Brothers were written here 😊
Besides the Bergpark and Aue ( those areas without buildings) Kassel doesn't really has much to offer tho
3:55 It's even illegal in germany to take pictures of someone that didnt agree to it. The noiseprotocol instead is needed if you have neighbours like i have. I needed that protocol for example to make my landlord go to court with that b.c. i complain about my neighbours. The reason is simple. I hear them F all night, i hear the kids play soccer inside of the flat and than there is also music like we are at woodstock, so i forced my landlord to act b.c. its the same shit for years now and that familiy dosnt give a S. Oh and btw: The playground has to be there by law, like parking places have to be around. It's bound to the german laws.
Are there no outdoor ping pong tables for everyone to use in the US? They have to have stiff nets or they would get stolen/destroyed.
yes, those ping pong tables are common. They're basically industructable. There are also some tables, where you could span your own net.
Kassel is the name of the city itself.
A castle would be a "Schloß" or "Burg" in German. "Schloß" is more fancier and build for living, while a "Burg" is mainly build to defend against enemies. Yes, there are several buildings that fall in between those categories.
its bolders against the playnoises in kassel which is a city in germany
I don't get why there are so many People in Germany that don't think about "oh there is a Playgrund in the Garden of the House I wanna live in. Maby kids are playing there and make noise. But i don't like that so maby i should live somewhere else." They're all like "I don't like loud noises so I move to a House that's right in Front of a Playgrund or right over a Bar or over a Disco so I can scream every day/night at the People outside and go to Court and get them out or threw them stones in their way because I'm to dumb to look around in my neighborhood before I buy this new Home..."
I, for one, appreciate the stoned solution 😂
