The red roofs aren't particularly limited to some areas but are mostly dependent on the prevalent roofing material of the region. Over time the architectural style of a region adapted to supply and demand and that became the tradition for the region. So in some areas you see the red fired ceramic roof tiles, in other areas gray or even black slate roofs, as people tended to buy the most prevalent (thus more affordable) roofing material. But in almost all cases fairly slanted roofs are the most common as Germany gets quite a lot of rain, and in the past, quite some snowfall as well. You didn't want to allow snow to build up on roofs in case the weight causes the roofs to collapse, so roofs became more or less slanted. Flat-top roofs became a thing in the 60's and 70's but again fell out of use soon after people discovered their drawbacks. With slanted roofs standing pools of water are virtually impossible.
In mountainous regions strangely enough roofs often tend to very shallow slants. This was due to a specific type of falling winds called Föhn which could reach very high speeds right out of the blue, as warm, humid air creeps over mountain tops, cools, and rapidly drops on the opposing mountain sides while loosing most of its humidity. These winds can reach very high top speeds, and may cause snow avalanches. As such, very shallow but extremely sturdy roofs were introduced in Bavaria and Baden-Würtemberg in the mountain side villages.
In the north, the Hanse, the merchant clans, allowed for a long stretch of prosperity for nearly all North and Baltic Sea cities for nearly one hundred years. During those times buildings were constructed with copper roofs. Something only the very rich could afford. That's why you see so many of these green, patinaed copper roofs today. When they were laid for the first time the coppery-red shine of those roofs must have been something incredible to behold.
When you have a thousand years or more to build something intricate and beautiful you tend to keep it maintained as well. But when you build with stone masonry buildings tend to last a looooong time. Yeah, it takes a lot longer to construct, it is a lot more expensive during construction. At least you normally can take out significant parts of a building without causing it to collapse. So even badly affected materials can be exchanged over time without having to tear down the whole building. When you consider the cost over time relationship, stone over the extremely long term (more than three hundred years or so) is a fairly inexpensive material due to its longevity.
Now imagine those two stupid mustached idiots (Kaiser Wilhelm II and A.H.) hadn't put Germany through the wringer of two world wars, and THEN imagine what would have been available as historic buildings today.
All the attrocities committed don't have to be mentioned, again; everybody knows about them.
It really saddens me what we lost in beauty, art, architecture, culture, advancements due to those wars and attrocities.
At 7:16 of your video you have a look at the Speicherstadt, the storage city, in Hamburg. It was lined with canals on one side, streets on the other side of the warehouses. The Elbe river allowed for relatively safe passge into the North Sea but still offer continental safety as it is roughly 70 km / 45 miles inland from the actual coast.
These canals allowed for bulk shipment with small ships right up to the warehouses, unloading with cranes that slid out along the top of the warehouses, lifted to their respective levels, and stored inside. The same on the other side, to lower bulk wares onto carts and waggons on the street side. This allowed for complete unloading of a ship in a short time, storing potentially spoilable goods under roofs, until needed.
The architectural genius of these buildings with air and water flow through the basements was such that the temperature inside the buildings never changed by more than a maximum of ten degrees C (roughly 18 degrees F), no matter the outside temperature, rain, snow, blizzards, sunshine, etc. All without any AC, just the incredibly varied airflow management inside.
That's why the warehouse or storage city got the UNESCO world heritage trademark a few years ago.
9:37 That steam engine locomotive obviously isn't used as a standard mode of transportation, but as a curiosity and vintage excursion trip. Most trains (99.99%) in Germany are either electric or diesel, not steam. Some local tourist locations offer these vintage style trips with steam engines. There is just something, I don't know, viscerally powerful about a steam engine chugging along.
12:16 The warmest part is around Freiburg in Baden Würtemberg, close to the French and Swiss border, which incidentally is also the best red wine area of Germany (I wonder why 😃😉). Germany is very strongly influenced by the Gulf Stream carrying warm waters north through the English channel into the North Sea. But the North Sea is a large cauldron of churning waters mixing arctic flows along the eastern British Isles and the Norwegian coast with the warm Gulf Stream waters. As such, the climate is basically temperate all throughout Germany, even with the country stretching around 800 km north to south. The Gulf Stream carries warm air flows across all of France and the Benelux countries up several river valleys, and funnels them into Germany as a predominant south-westerly wind. This means that the south-west of Germany gets the warmest winds most of the time.
Only during winter time when the air cools significantly above the Alps and frost and snow settles in does the north become paradoxically more mild than the south. The north constantly recieves the warm airflow rising from the warm jets of water funneled into the North Sea. This leads to a very settled, narrow temperature band in the North throughout the year. The North also has virtually no mountains (or at least nothing anyone would consider mountains) so that air flow is almost completely uninhibited here. Whereas the South has the Alps as a barrier to the Mediterranean climate, thus has to contend with some more drastic temperatures.
The eastern part of Germany recieves the brunt of the low temperatures as most warmer air has cooled off over the mainland. It also recieves counter-winds from across Poland, the Baltic Sea, Czech and Slovakia carrying deeply cold winds along with them.
In general Germany normally gets enough rain, but the last three to four years saw very little rain during the summers, resulting in some pretty severe droughts. Snow in the lowlands during the deep winter is relatively common for a day or two, often only lightly sprinkling the cities. For long lasting snows with full ground coverage in winter you need to head higher up into the mountains, and even those have seen a decline in snow covers over the last two decades.
When it comes to permafrost... weeeell, climate change definitely has arrived in Germany. The Zugspitze, the highest German mountain, has finally lost its permafrost just this year (2022) during summer. This is critical as the rocky mountain top normally is covered in snow, helping the rocks stay in formation due to the ice 'gluing' them together. Now that the permafrost is broken during summer the mountain top may start to crumble. Nobody here denies climate change; the only discussion about it is how MUCH of it is human made; not if it happens at all. But everybody agrees that humanity is at least partly to blame for it.
Seriously thank you for this in depth breakdown of everything, excellent information. I always learn so much from viewers like yourself 👍😎🙏
Well that was in depth! Thank you from Finland.
Funny, in the Netherlands we use Föhn as the word for hairdryer. Then i looked up the wiki and we have the same word Föhn for that type of wind as well, never knew!
@@gillsejusbates6938 We use the word Föhn to describe a hair dryer as well here in Germany. But it is used to describe a specific type of wind as well, but mostly in meteorology.
And if you think about it: What does a Föhn do? Blow a fast wind. Someone first started to use that term for a hair dryer when they first saw it. I'm pretty sure it had to be some sort of slang back then, as it is much shorter, than the rightful translation Haartrockner.
Föhn doesn't occupy as much mouth space as Haartrockner...😁
@@wiedapp not quite right, both the name and the meaning
"FÖHN" is the word for the Meteological effect
"FÖN" is the trademarked word for the hair dryer from AEG
but over the years the word "FÖHN" has been used for both.
That's why there are no "FÖHN's" to buy in Germany, only hair dryers
Germany is a beautiful country, and a lots of nice people. And especially those wonderful Christmas market I visit every winter. Regards from Sweden.

The problem with Germany is, that it is crowded with Germans.
@@steffenrosmus9177 bro i feel u, for me as a german germans are sometimes too german xD
The oldest City in Germany IS Trier. IT IS over 2 000 Years old, and you can still walk through the original, Roman City Gate, the huge Porta Nigra.
Then that must mean that my small town is also one of the oldest. After all, it is said that it was built by the Romans in 50 BC
@@marvinlinnarz5856 Xanten?
@@Der_muede_Joe. Nope.
There are some more German cities claiming that title and it isn't absolutely clear, which of them REALLY is the oldest. Most of them haven't been mentioned before they were part of the Roman Empire, but it is known some of them definitely existed already as important Celtic settlements (oppidae) more than 2000 years ago. Trier is definitely being considered one of the oldest cities mentioned in any kind of written document, along with Cologne and Kempten.
Ach, ihr Trierer Aufschneider! Gruß von einem gebürtigen Wormser. ;)
6:40 "look at that cool little amusement park" made me really laugh. That is the Oktoberfest! 6 million visitors per year is not really "little".
me too 🤣
Haha thanks for the correction! 👍🤣🤣
To be fair, for an amusement park, the rides would indeed be small. But that's because they're temporary, and not the main attraction. So yes, it's a little temporary "amusement park" that's part of a huge fair.
Indeed the biggest worldwide.
well, it is only a small area. compare this to US amuseparks. and many people only go there to get pissdrunk and eat a Haxn. at least most of the people i know.
Germany is quite big, as a dutch person its recognisable in some places and so foreign in others. Beautiful country that i should goto more often.
Leeuwarden is one of my favourite places. ;)
Living near the border I'm often in the Netherlands. Good to have so nice neighbors.

i watch and enjoy a lot of your videos, Ian. as a german, having lived my whole life here, it's very interesting to see your and others' reactions on germany, especially to this original video… makes me notice how "normal" this beauty is to me in everyday life, but how much there is that i should appreciate more. thank you, and keep up the good work!
cheers from bavaria!
That happens to most of us, but it sure is nice to get reminders about how beautiful your surroundings can be 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed, your country is scenic. Cheers
Erstmal sehe ich unsere Heimat mit frisch verliebten Augen ! Danke
As belgian, during my military service, I was quartered in Cologne - Köln.
Superb city, full of friendly and festive people. As I have the chance to live in Liège, Belgium, wich is not far from Holland and Germany, I go back there occasionally for a good restaurant and to enjoy the marvels of architecture. The Cathedral is amazing.

Hi Ian, seeing you in aww made me smile as we germans often forget or don't appreciate the beauty of our country. Germany has many beautiful places ... I recently visited the castle in Schwerin and was awstruck as well although I've been to many places already. I can't stop admire beautiful architecture and landscape or nature in general.
Greetings from Hamburg 🤗

2. Alleine kann man auch gut Sightseeing machen! (Sofern man nicht irgendwie belästigt wird)
Oh, the Kyffhäuser monument you could see at 6:38 - legend is that king Barbarossa ("red beard") who ruled in the 12th century and died on his way on a crusade is actually sleeping in this mountain and will awaken again when Germany is in need of him.
its so nice to see someone willing to learn about other countries.. to be so respectful in every little bit of content he creates.. i tip my hat dude! And yeah well.. as a german .. i wiped some tears away seeing your reaction!
Your country is beautiful 😎👏
Thank you for your kind words… there’s a whole world out there and I wanna soak up and embrace different cultures, countries and ways of life. The USA is interesting but it’s in a bubble, meaning I won’t learn much about other countries unless I make an effort to
I live in the Netherlands, Arnhem region so close to the German border. We love going to Germany, it's such a nice country and the people are so nice. And they have really great food!
And the Germans go to the netherlands to eat your foot😅. I learnd riding bycicle in a holliday at a dutch Campingplace :) love your country too ❤ and your absolutly lovely language!
Temperature wise, I experienced 104 Fahrenheit max. in germany and one night with -0.4 Fahrenheit.
Christal clear night in winter with moonlight so bright reflectin of the snow that me an my wife could walk trough the forest without any extra lights. Was beautiful.
Germany is famous for Christmas markets. As a Swede, I have visited a couple in Hamburg and Berlin. The magic is real 🙂
The very first castle is one of the worlds most used jigzaw puzzle motifs.
Cities with mostly modern buildings were heavily bombed during ww2 and had to be rebuilt.
I live near Stuttgart. The city has the largest Christmas market in Europe. In the historic neighboring town of Esslingen there is a great medieval Christmas market. In the city of Ludwigsburg there is a baroque Christmas market in the immediate vicinity of one of the largest baroque palaces in Europe, "Schloss Ludwigsburg". The Christmas markets will now start next weekend.
Germany are my favourite holiday destination in Europe, when I am not vacationing in my own country Norway 😊
I love Norway! As a german😅
Temperatures in Germany tend to be moderate (although they have risen some in recent years), as others have mentioned already. The northern part is generally a little cooler (especially by the sea, of course, but also in general) while the south tends to be a little warmer. One of the statistically warmest areas is around Freiburg, at the foot of the Black Forest in southwestern Germany.
Risen ? Summers get colder and colder and not warmer at least here in Bremen. Actually in the beginning the narrative always was that its getting colder then they changed to warmer and now its just "Climate CHANGE" which includes everything, how conveniant. It just an agenda same as mass immigration and other things today, to bring down the middle-class. Also you need world wide crisis to unite the world in a NWO in the end.
But its a difficult topic and there would be alot to exaplain. Behind the NWO - Roman-Catholic church / Rome, simple history. The RCC simply put is Satanism in disguise as Christianity, using Bible terminology to deceive people. Christmas, Easter, the cross etc. are in origin Satan worship and has nothing to do with the Bible. The Bible even warns about Christ-MASS (birthday of the sungod Baal on Dec. 25th - Winter solstice, days getting longer again). It doesnt mean you cant celebrate on these days, its only important what you celebrate but important to understand the Catholic church that they are NOT Christians nor Bible believers just because they use a cross, celebrate Easter and Christmas.
They also created all secret-societies to subvert nations (the Jesuit order was founded as counter-reformation group of the RCC and they founded also like the Illuminati for example, Adam Weishaupt was a Jesuit same as Rothschilds, Fauci, Trump etc.). Look into politics today and you will discover that nearly everyone is a Roman-Catholic, this is not coincidence. Biden, Trump. Bill Gates, Fauci, Rothschilds (FED) etc. etc.
Democrats and Republicans both are controlled by Rome. They always control both sides to get to their destiny, first they create chaos and then step in as "saviour" so that people are even thankful for a new order. Thats the Hegelian-Dialectic principle or "Ordo ab Chao - Order out of chaos". Destroy the old and out of the ashes create something new - Symbolism of the Phoenix/Eagle (main symbol of Rome).
Look up the 3 part series of Spencer Smith "The Third Adam (Antichrist/Worldleader)" or at least the 3rd one "Rise of the divine feminine" (the occult worships God as female (Feminism) as you also can see in the Catholic church. The "Statue of Liberty - Freedom from Gods laws" is Ishtar/Easter/Isis/Venus/Shakti/Shekinah/Shambalah/Gaia(mother nature created herself - pseudo science)/Diana/Queen of Heaven etc. etc. has so many names and is worshipped around the globe by all false religions.
She was the babylonian queen but also represents the female part of the devil (Lucifer can be male, female or BOTH - Transgender worship). In Babylon the mystery religion of Satan/Babylon began and all false religions have their roots in it, they all worship the same just with other names and traditions and thats all. For example the ancient Greek and Roman gods, the "Saints" today in the Catholic church, the gods of the Hindus etc. etc. is all the same, all fallen angels worship. If you see a statue of "Jesus and Mary" thats really "Baal and Isis". Christians never built statues and big cathedrals, they built the catacombs under Rome to hide from persecution. We are also commanded not to build statues and worship them thats the 2nd commandment which is being removed in the Catholic church "Bible".
Nimrod her son took his own mother Isis as wife, she was a very unholy woman and thats whats being worshipped on Easter. People in ancient times lived 3 months prior to Easter abstitent from Sex and then let loose on Easter hence you also celebrated rabbits because they reproduce alot hence also used by Playboy as Sex symbol. So and 9 months later is Christ-MASS, the babys would be then sacrificed to their sungod.
The cross in origin is really a "t/T" and stands for Tammuz/Horus/Baal, they sacrificed people on that cross for their god thats why the Catholic church uses it because they worship the sungod and not Jesus on the cross. And its been said that Nimrod (Santa-Claus) the builder of Babylon (first NWO) was reborn into his son coming back as sungod Baal on Dec.25th and in lights, fire and candles you can worship his spirit. The tree same as obelisks stands for the phallus of Nimrod. Wreathes, eggs, crescent moon etc. stand for the womb of Isis and both give birth to the sungod. You have the same principle with the White House and Vatican, its a dome pointing towards an obelisk.
Puhhh I really would like to explain everything in detail but its too much.

• Albert Einstein was born in Ulm. (Yes, _the_ Albert Einstein)
Yo Ian,
I live in between Frankfurt and Heidelberg. You just reminded me not to take all of that German variety for granted.
The US/Canadian border is pretty much the same latitude as Heidelberg.
Climate is mild, there are few weather extremes. Winters don't get really could, snow is rare in lower altitudes. Sommers just start to get hot enough for people to us AC's in their homes.
If you ever visit Germany over Frankfurt International Airport, let me know. I can organize a ride for you.
Keep up spreading that good energy brother 👍

@@DeSuenner jep....never leave for moving only for exploring....😆
@@Arch_Angelus I live right across the castle in the Altstadt. Fifth floor only the castle, a few very nice old villas and the woods in front of my balcony. I never get tired of the view.
Here´s a story to watch sometime: During the bombing of Dresden in WW2, people fled into one of the big churches of the city, being a building of stone that didn´t burn. This church is called the "Frauenkirche", featured in 05:33. After the bombing, everbody got out of the church and then it collapsed, leaving it mostly a pile of rubble.
During the times of the cold war, the government of East Germany didn´t put any effort in rebuilding this church, declaring it a monument against war of sorts, not touching anything of this ruin. Then after the wall came down and german reunification, the decision was made to rebuild this church, but historical accurate! So they cleared the whole site of the rubble, marking every building block and figuring out where it´s position in the building once was. Lots of Blocks where build newly and craftsmen where hired all over europe who where skilled in this old building technics.
The literal "cherry on top" was: The Cross on the top of the roof was made by a wrought-iron craftsman from Great Britain, who´s father sat in one of those bombers, that took part in the bombing of the city. This was meant as a gesture of forgiveness and unification after all.
So what you see of the Frauenkirche today is to a large degree not older that rougly 20-25 Years. The bright color of the stones show, that those are the newly crafted ones, while the little black spots or parts of the wall are infact the original stones that where reused. In time, the bright beige ones will darken again and blend in with the rest.

To be honest..
The purple flowered plants at 12:30 were heather, or Erica.
Yes, Frankfurt is a very modern looking city because, like a lot of cities in Germany, much of the older architecture was destroyed during bombing raids in the second world war. There is a historic area around the cathedral which was not destroyed as it was used by the bomber squadrons as a navigation aid during raids. The best thing about Frankfurt, in my opinion, is that it was rebuilt with a view to a vernacular that will age well and evolve in to a future classic look. Personally I love Frankfurt because it is a beautiful, modern and vibrant city.
Didn't expect so many places from my area to be included. Often they are forgotten by everyone
The architecture is unbelievable… bloody epic!! I had no idea.
2:45 This castle houses the state parliament of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is probably the most beautiful government building in Germany. It was originally the seat of the ruling dukes of Mecklenburg.
american history is just a grain of sand in the desert compared with other places.
just take this :
The Pantheon is the oldest building in the world that's still in use today. Since the 7th century, it has been a Roman Catholic church. Built around 125 A.D.
With a central opening (oculus) to the sky, Almost two thousand years after it was built, the Pantheon's dome is still the world's largest unreinforced concrete dome. The height to the oculus and the diameter of the interior circle are the same, 43 metres (142 ft). pretty wild achievement for that time.
We have so many beautiful places all over germany... i live here for 35 years and its nearly impossible to visit all the places worth seeing in a lifetime, not to talk about the rest of europe with thousands of gems as well, or the rest of the world with all the stunning ladscapes waiting to be seen. I´m glad at least to be able to see them on videos like this. My grandparents were not able to even know what is out there. So great to be alive now...
All these Towns and citys depends on the old medieval citycenters, well preserved or reconstructed after the wars. In fact there where 20000 - 25000 Castles, Keeps and Palace, some of them are Museums today, some are homes where the Descendants of the builders live, the most are only ruins or the old walls, but well preserved. The oldest castle still inhabited is Eltz Castle, inhabited for 800 years by the same family. The oldest City is Trier around 100 BC, foundet by the romans, In Aachen you can find the remains of Charlemagne in the cathedral and his throne on which he was crowned. In 1880, the Cologne Cathedral was completed after a total of 632 years of construction time, And so on ......... If you want history you have to come to europe, the living history ;)

i come from Wuerzburg / Bamberg Area. Love your canal. Germany has a lot of beautiful and very different areas. America too, and you got a lot more space. I love that.
What I learned during many trips to all kinds of countries: Many countries are very beautiful and most people are nice.
Only politics and beliefs screw everything up.
I travelled so much during my life and it took me a long time to realise how beautiful my homeland Switzerland actually is: I ran mainly to tropical Asia and Italy. The Alps and the beautiful lakes were such a common sight that I did not appreciate their Beauty enough. And I agree: MOST people all over the world are amazingly nice and very few people want to do you harm. On the contrary, most people want to help you. When I travelled all around the globe I realised: I wanted to see countries, but i met people.

So eine schöne Stadt, trotz dass sie im Zweiten fast komplett abgebrannt ist. Meine Oma hat mir erzählt, dass man die Flammen aus 40 km noch sehen konnte.
it is nice to see the country you life in from above with this high gloss shine. gives you always a new perspective. as a groundwalker it looks quite different, but nonetheless stunning.
3:40 shows the Ulm Minster (often mistakenly called a "cathedral", but it's not technically so, I can't explain why). It was there that I had one of the most magical and unforgettable moments in my entire life.
Many years ago, I went on a two-month youth exchange program in Germany. Initially I stayed in a small village in the far south, near Lake Constance. One day I had to go to Stuttgart and had to change trains in Ulm. I had heard of the Minster and, of course, I decided to stop in Ulm for a couple of hours to see it. The church is over *600 years old,* has the world's tallest church tower (equivalent to a *50+ story* skyscraper), and it's *HUGE,* so huge that the altar is at the center, otherwise in the era before microphones and loudspeakers no one would be able to hear the preacher from the other extremity. And of course, it's absolutely beautiful, both outside and inside.
And the exact moment I stepped inside the church, the organ started to play. Do you have any idea of what a big ancient German organ with a gazillion pipes reverberating in the nave of a giant Gothic church sounds like, and what it does to you, especially if you're not expecting it? Immediately I started shaking from head to toe, my legs turned to jelly, tears started flowing and I don't even know if there's a name for the kind of emotion (or mix of emotions) that I was feeling. I will never forget that awesome moment as long as I live.
My godparents used to live right next to the Minster, in a small alley, about 20m wide...no point trying to sleep at midnight when the massive bells in the spire would toll 24 times each day 😆
Most amazing is the fact a lot of the Castle's and Churches where build hundreds of years ago, probably to impress others
The one you paused the video fir rhe first time is exactly where I live..... It's called the Saarschleife. Saar is the river and Schleife means like bow or loop. Even the Bundesland (state) that we live in here is named after the river: Saarland..... and by the way it's also the tiniest of all german states and its not far away feom the Nordschleife! . I like your videos. Thanks and have a nice day
Being from Saarbrücken, this stop made me very happy.
The warmest region is Rhineland Palatinate. It is where the Nürburgring is. The winter is that warm that the city of Bonn has a colony of fled pet parrots.
12:40 "allmost looks purple" it is actually purple its a plant called "Erika" in german and "Erica" in english it gword all over that place "Lüneburger Heide" (Lüneburg Heath)
One of my favs is Mannheim. Its castle is a university now and is 450m long (1,476.4ft)! The city center's layout was the blueprint for New York City. Works the same way too with letters and numbers, really easy to find places. The center street is called "Breitestraße" and literally translates to Broadway. Same as in NYC. The city also has a beautiful park "Luisenpark" with lots of trees, plants, art, kiosks, playgrounds and a large lake with a chill automated boat ride.
Wow cool facts thank you!! I had no idea
One notable difference is that New York numbered the streets while Mannheim numbered the city blocks (with house numbers going around the block). That causes all kinds of havoc with computers nowadays because they all expect streets to have at least some kind of designation. Even Google Maps can't cope with it, if you zoom in far enough you'll see streets being labelled like "Q2 P2 Q2 Q2 Q2 P2 Q2 P3 Q3 P3 P3 P3 P4 Q4"... (somewhat correct would be "unnamed street between the rows of P and Q", but I've never seen anyone doing that)
That "cool little amusement park" was the Oktoberfest
Awesome video! I’m a swede that never have been in germany BUT my girlfriend that i meet 5 months ago are from germany so I think the future with her by my side gonna show me a lot of germany and i’m looking forward to that! Thanks for the awesome video 🤌🏻🇸🇪🇩🇪
Not only Porsche is in Stuttgart, Mercedes is as well.
if you see green roofs,they are usually covered with copper sheets,the red roofs are usually covered with roof tiles made out of burned clay,black roofs are made with roof slates
After a vacation it's always nice to come back and see this mass of green. I love it.
The lower Rhine area is great because we are close connected with our dutch and belgian neighbors not only by the language (Limburgisch/south lower Frankonian) but also cultural. We have more in common than with northern, eastern or southern germans.
It's nice to see my hometown Dresden getting some time to shine.
Dresden is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The problem is: In nearly every little village you find interesting, old or sometimes new buildings or spots worth a visit. Or just walk around the landscape.
Hello Ian! Not only Germany has a lot of historical buildings; much of which has been restored & rebuilt after the destruction during WWII.
In the "rest of" Europe (e.g. Italy) you can sometimes find even more and older history - just Europe, the old continent.
Hey Ian, it's long comment guy again.
I spent my summer holiday 5 miles away from 14:35 at a small lake doing bike tours. I cycled past the castle on that small bit of road at the bottom right corner of the screen. The whole holiday was pure heaven. Apparently, the latest G7 meeting in june this year was held at the castle and surrounding villages. I stayed at a 2 room inn by a lake and later found out I was where Boris Johnson had stayed a month earlier. I can't convey to you how peaceful and majestic the scenery is and how positively isolated from civilization you feel.
It's wonderful how much you enjoy the german landscape and monuments, I feel I need to give you a contextual crash course for Germany: For historic, cultural and ethnic reasons Germany is quite 'big' but also smaller than you'd think. Imagine a population of 85 million in a country the size of Montana. Montana has 1.1 million inhabitants, which is the population of Cologne. Even though Germany is relatively densely populated, forests, agriculture and infrastructure are pretty evenly distributed considering for how long this space has been lived in. Also, building height within cities is heavily regulated so it's basically impossible to build a 6 story house in Munich, but 5 stories is no problem, which is how these literal "city images" are regulated. Frankfurt is the only German city with a sky scraper district due to it being the financial hub of Germany, one of the biggest in Europe (especially after brexit) and has many bank HQ buildings.
From an infrastructure perspective, Germany is quite different from most other European countries; most of them are challenged by the gap in living standards between their formerly imperial capitals and the 'poorer' or simply: other areas of the country. This applies to Spain, France, Britain, Italy to some extent, some Scandinavian countries (due to winter), certainly Russia and many former soviet states, but not Germany. The reason for that is historically complex: Most of these european countries above have culturally formented borders such as rivers which may have moved comparably by inches over time but have mainly stood firm over 1000 years. Imagine the cultural effect of certain US states' borders standing for a millennium, separating culturally different but commonly influenced people and how differently culture forms around this obstacle in the long run. Germany's history is different to it's European neighbours in one way: the holy roman empire, which lasted from 800-1806, the period most of the buildings you saw were constructed in. Germany has always been a conglomerate of multiethnic states which have been federated with or against each other for centuries, but mostly kept their own sovereignty intact. The invention of the printing press, Martin Luther translating the bible in the castle at 12:35 and the freedom of thought necessary for many controversial artists and thinkers of the time could only have existed in this melting pot without a singular religiously inspired military society "establishing order", since all these states had different laws regarding freedom of speech etc. Now imagine between 900-1800 states roughly 200-10 miles in diameter with their very own capital city, currency, army, legal system, religious affiliation etc. This whole system of dukes and lords was organized under the leadership of the holy roman emperor, who was considered to be the first prince of christendom, who protected other religious beliefs than his own (unheard of at the time). I'd argue there are noticeable cultural views and social affinities like being pro or anti military/worker's rights/environment etc; regionally dying in the german cultural and political wool in a clearly traceable way, even into today's politics. The holy roman emperor was crowned in Frankfurt in the sandstone church you saw at 7:45 which is where I'm from, btw :)
Napoleon's invasions in the beginning of the 19th century were the end of the holy roman empire, which was succeeded by the age of Bismarck who was foreign minister of Prussia and later chancellor of unified democratic monarchy Germany, but this only lasted for 3 generations of royals until the monarchy was removed at the end of WW1. Phew, this was long. Please feel free to point our any mistakes I made if you feel you have to. Cheers!
Excellent stuff, always look forward to your comments 🎉😎
Thank you
To get a sense of the times for the different architectural styles, here is an overview of universities in Germany that were originally founded 500+ years ago.
University of Erfurt :1379
University of Greifswald :1456
Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg:1502
University of Cologne: 1388
University of Leipzig: 1409
Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz :1477
Phillips University of Marburg:1527
Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich: 1472
University of Rostock:1419
Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen: 1477
Julius Maximilian's University of Würzburg: 1402
In relation to this, the start of construction of some sights:
Cologne Cathedral: 1248 (on the site of Hildebold Cathedral from 870)
Hohenzollern Castle 1st castle: 1267 -> rebuilt several times after being destroyed
Aachen Minster: ca. 802
In relation to this, for example, the "Hamburg warehouse district = Speicherstadt" is young: 1888
I‘m pretty sure you could film this kind of Video for each and every European country and every one of it would be so beautiful looking!
I lived in "Schwäbisch Hall" (first city) for a while and i personally have to say even as a german you will never get tired of them beautiful old cities. Of course we have a lot of new built cities and their impressive too, but i totally love the old flair and the mentality of the people living in those old cities it's just a total different world in my opinion.
Thank you for that reaction video. I live in Middle Franconia, part of Bavaria. If you live permanently amidst such a medieval backdrop, you start to see it as something completely normal and a given thing. Your reaction reminds me to see my surroundings from a different perspective.
The "cool shot with the train" was the "Harzquerbahn", a narrow gauge (partially) steam railway that operates as regular public transport in the Harz mountain area in central Germany. It's kinda cool to see steam locomotives as part of regular traffic several decades after the German national railway banned them from their tracks.
Dresden is pretty amazing, considering it was pretty much levelled during WW2.
Gotta say I had no idea Germany had so many historic looking places left and certainly didn’t realise it was such a beautiful place all round. Considering it was bombed to shit just 80 years ago and looks like it does now. Quite amazing 👏😊
They just have chosen the only beautiful places of Mainz, Worms, Saarbrücken and Mannheim, the rest of these cities is subpar architecture from the 50s-70s, tbh.
Germany has more UNESCO world heritage sites than even France. Of course Germany has still hundreds if not thousands of historic places.
@@PowerControl you are wrong.
@@hartmutwrith3134 Very qualified comment.
Bombed to shit, and their still find ww2 bombs in the ground every week.
I had a roadtrip this year from Hamburg in the north of Germany way down to the Chiemsee on the border with Austria, and I was going with country roads and such rather than the Autobahn since I was in a vintage car for what ended up as a 2200km trip. It was really interesting seeing the different areas, landscapes, architectures and towns (and different people/characters too), I even went and walked around some places despite having pouring rain almost every day of the trip.
I spent a week in Munich a couple of years ago. As an Aussie it’s the only other place I’d like to live. Beautiful.
Thanks for that. I grew up in Munich.
Munich is a great city to live at, if you like to live in a city and have the money for it. Munich is one of the most expensive citys in Germany. I live right in the middle between Munich and Augsburg and with good commuting connection to both cities. Your living expenses are higher than living near i.e. Ingolstadt, where I lived before. Ingolstadt got expensive too, due to Audi having their main plant there and because Audi pays good money.
15:20 -> Passau! That's where I am located right now while watching your video! Passau is a small, but fantastic, nice city! That's why I moved there ... around 700km away from my birthplace.
Did you know: The oldest house in Germany, where are normal people are still living in, was build in the year 1238. So it was built 254 years before America was even discovered by Columbus!
Btw: The "little amusementpark" was actually the world known Oktoberfest in Munich. It has around 400,000 people drinking their beer there and having some fun ... daily!
How neat!!! I’ll have to look up that old house, sounds interesting, and yea I made a funny mistake not recognizing Oktoberfest 🤣
Thanks for showing - I live in a very pretty country!!!
The drone flights are incredible - I have never seen this cities and landscapes from that angle. wow!!!
I really love Berlin, you can find new spots like every day.
Dresden is also very beautiful and the landscape with these strange mountains is also very close (Elbsandsteingebirge).
Hamburg & Lübeck are also very nice - Hamburg with this huge harbour and Lübecks old town is very nice.
Cologne with it's huge cathedral and the famous look (river Rhine, bridge & cathedral) is also worth a visit.
I come from an area close to Koblenz (Deutsches Eck), also a beautifuk region with to rivers and a lot of vineyards, small cities (like Cochem),
And of course the Nürburgring ;)
I`ve traveled to Germany from a very young age, and have been to many of these places - but seing it from above / drone perspective is something else - so thank you !!! Your reaction is the best, you made my day
4:08 This pretty much have to be Northern/Central Europe due to how smooth those granite are. Is one of very few places where there are smooth granite.
This is probobly a bit south in Germany due to the top is smooth but the large structure is still fairly pointy. The more north you go the smother everything becomes
this is in the south east corner close to the Czech Republic and its Sandstone the name is Elbsandstein Gebirge in a region called the Saxony Swizz many Buildings in Dresden are build with this Stone
Our germany has nearly all kind of nature. Ocean in the north, mountains in the south, forests everywhere, hills (middle/south), Flat land (everywhere, but more in the north) , seas, rivers...
It is mostly like the Northeast of the US.
My Favorite thing is watching tourist on the train through the Rhine Valley. If you take a 15 min trip with a train your bound to see 5-10 Castles. It’s always nice to see Tourists flooded with joy over every single castle
I remember Italian friends coming to Switzerland and saying: EVERYTHING IS SO GREEN, EVEN IN SUMMER.
I remember travelling thorugh California in the Eighties and I thought: Gee it is so brown and dry!
i've never seen another building that blew my mind quite as much as the Kölner Dom (Cologne Cathedral). they started building it in 1248 (!!) and worked on it on and off for hundreds of years. the size of it and level of detail in the gothic architecture are just incredible. you'd love it.
14:30... At last... a town I had once lived in for 6 months... Braunschweig/ Brunswick... The Lion city.
Have to go back there next summer, to visit my German sister after an eight year break.
this is europe, France, Spain, Italy are as beautiful as Germany!
I’m learning so much at once, France, Italy, and Spain look spectacular from what I’ve seen as well! Europe is so fascinating
I live just about 15km away from Cologne Cathedral. I go up to the top viewing platform once or twice every year, you have a great view from up there. Cologne Cathedral is absolutely massive and very impressive when you stand in front of it. The interior is also very beautiful, it is definitely worth a visit for anyone coming to Germany.
you mean that cool "Little" Amusement park named Wiesn or Oktoberfest in Munich which is standing for only a few weeks
you have milder winters on the coast then in the south far away from the coast in the mountains but you have to remember that "far away" isnt that far in germany.
the furthest part away from the top of north germany to the bottom of south germany its 544 miles.
so basicly its more based on hight, you have colder winter and alot of snow in the winder when your up a few hundert meters about sealevel and you get only a handfull days of snow when your living on sea level and you have mostly deal with mud and rain xD
tehre is also some nice videos about the landscape of germany if u said you wanna see more of that xD
Damn, I love this country, and I love living here. 🇩🇪
Although I missed my home in the Ruhr Valley, an area also teaming with German history ☹😢
Italy Austria Germany France Switzerland Monaco Slovenia Liechtenstein all have the Alps
Love to see you react to a Video of the whole country. Most american reactions I've seen were about Bavaria and Germany is so much more than only Bavaria
A lot of the places shown were pivotal for Germany's identity or history.
My home town of Esslingen was founded in 777, in Francia, when Charlemagne wasn't even declared Roman emperor yet.
As much as I love those German archtiecture of the 1700's and 1800's, it tried to copy the French splendor. Saxony with Dresden maybe did it the best.
Very impressive footage! I live in germany, but there are a lot of places in this video i didn't know of.
YES, Marburg, my hometown. I was hoping it'd be in this. The other cities on here (Limburg, Burg Waldeck and Amöneburg) are close to me. Amöneburg, the circular one at 13:05, is built on top of an extinguished volcano. You can still see the lava rocks when driving up to the top. Germany is beautiful man, you should come visit!
I’ve travelled through Germany several times by train and car. The countryside really is beautiful. In the early 1990s I spent one week in Offenburg, near the French border.
A few years later, when I was working in Austria, our company had a winter staff retreat each year in the Bavarian mountains, somewhere near Regensburg. It was magical. Being an Aussie I had never experienced that much snow before.
You're probably talking about Rosenheim not Regensburg. Regensburg is quite in the middle of Bavaria, at the Danube river and about 150km away from the alps. Rosenheim however is deep in the south east of Bavaria and close to Innsbruck and Salzburg in Austria.
From Regensburg it is a roughly 3 hours drive to Plzen (Pilsen, that's where Pilsener originated) or Budějovice (Budweis, that's where the original Budweiser originated from) in the Czech Republic. Rosenheim is about 30 minutes away from Salzburg or Innsbruck.
@@XandeDerExilant Thanks for taking the time to respond. I just messaged an old work colleague to clarify. I was almost right. Apparently the conference centre was between Deggendorf and Regen. It may not be in the alps, but I remember it as being quite hilly. Definitely a beautiful part of Germany. 🙂
They showed Aachen or Aix la Chapelle as it o more commonly known in english. Charlemange had found his resting place there. And the village Monschau is just a few minutes away.
so for your question about the differences in weather in the different regions: i live in the upper rhine plain and here we get some of the hottest and most humid weather in the country. in summer we sometimes have above 40°c (104°f) and it has to be at least 10 years since my town got real snow in the winter (only some minor snow that didnt last for over a day or so) while in the north you have over a meter snow in extreme cases and the higher mountains are obviously on a different level altogether. we have a lot of big rivers and most of germany is quite hilly which helps to make those changes in climate really noticeable. you drive over a bridge and on one side you have a clear sky with 25°c (77°f) and on the other you have thick fog and 15°c (59°f) just from a 2 minute drive
WoW germany, my respects! kudos to the camera guy, awesome video @.@
I have to say my favorite spot was at about 11:12. You see the Kaiserpfalz in Goslar with the city in the background. It's the town I grew up in and once I was at a concert of a medieval style band called Corvus Corax in the garden behind the Kaiserpfalz (Pfalzgarten). Goslar has almost everything you would expect from an old German town (first officially mentioned in 979). Orange/red roofs, historical buildings, half timbered houses, cobblestone streets, etc. And the Harz Mountains in the backyard :-). That's where you can find those steam locomotives (when you're too lazy to hike to the Brocken, you can take the train 😁). So you have nature and a lot of green and woods everywhere around it. Those woods started just a few meters behind my grandparents house. We didn't even need a car to go there. A few steps out of the garden and we a long hike could begin. So naturally I spent a lot of time doing that as a child. Even with the school. We had winter sports days where we would go hike in the snowy Harz mountains or just go sledging up there instead of going to class. Some would even go skiing, but that wasn't for me. Most of us chose the other two. Way more fun.
Goslar is also an UNESCO world heritage. I know I'm biased, but it's beautiful. Especially in the Christmas time when you're in the middle of the old town at the Christmas market and forrest and there is snow everywhere (sadly not a lot of snow in the last couple years) it looks like you're in the middle of a fairy tale book. But that reminds me that I have to visit, because the Christmas market just started. 😊
Edit: I just saw that the city I live in now is in this video too. 😄
Climate: The sunniest city is Freiburg im Breisgau (7:26) in the Southwest and in the Upper Rhine Valley (which is generally warmer as the regions east and west of it). Frankfurt/Main, Mainz, Wiesbaden see rarely snow in the winter due to their proximity to the Rhine Valley and the River Main Valley. The North is mostly flat(ter) and located deeper in relation to sea levels, the South is hillier and higher, nearer to the Mediterranean, but separated from it by the Alps. Nevertheless it get warm winds from Africa from the Southwest via France and warm foehn winds from Italy falling down from the Alps, while the North gets sometimes the fallout from Atlantic hurricanes and gales. It is generally colder, but winters are moderated by the Gulf stream.
A very nice very new video showing Meersburg at Lake Constance (which is about 400m above sea level and about 250m deep) I discovered today: czcams.com/video/_khSS-dtZx4/video.html (Meersburg Castle is one of the oldest medieval castles in Germany, allegedly built by King Dagobert I of Francia around 630 AD. The castle later came in possession of the Prince-Bishops of Constance, which were driven out of Constance, as the citizens converted to Reformation. The bishop moved then to the other bank of the lake to Meersburg, and his successors built in the 18th century the New Palace.)
By the way: Did you know you can try out both big German race tracks with your own car against a fee? It's called tourist drives: czcams.com/video/Kz1VNwVDpmg/video.html (Hockenheimring), czcams.com/video/LX5Y1jcoUXE/video.html (Nürburgring).
5:35 Made by hand.
You'll find a few museums or books that explain how it was made.
Most of the elements were designed, with the exception of the details, then entrusted to stone carvers, and finally assembled using wood scaffoldings.
At 4:36, the building with the tower on the right side of the market square is the city hall of the City of Lüneburg. My grandfather, Helmut Bote was a blacksmith in Lüneburg and he made the railing on the balcony.
Frankfurt is the skyscraper-city in Germany. It lies on the river Main (thus the name Frankfurt am Main), and it's skyline is often refered to as Mainhattan due to the density of skyscrapers in it's central business district. Frankfurt also has its old town, but is mostly known in Europe for being "modern". It also has one of the busiest airports in Europe.
As i have seen the original video before and liked the underlying music i startet both parallel as your music was quiet i could enjoy it with the original soundtrack and your reaction. Worked really well except when you paused :).
It made me happy to see Dresden, the town I was born in an have lived in for approximately thirty years, getting quite a lot of air time.
The church you see in the foreground at 4:57 (at sunrise, by the way ;-) is called Hofkirche (court chapel) and was built as a catholic cathedral next to the palace in the first half of the 18th century, at a time when Dresden's population were predominantly christened protestants. Friedrich August II., Elector of Saxony at the time had converted to catholicism in order to be able to become king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania as well.
To keep the protestants happy, Friedrich August II. generously supported the construction of the protestant church called Frauenkirche appearing at 5:33 in your video. Both churches were heavily demaged in 1945, the Frauenkirche did collapse almost completely. Reconstruction of Hofkirche was completed in 1965, whereas Frauenkirche was rebuilt much more recently, between 1996 and 2005.
The reconstruction of that church was an actual masterpiece. If you take a closer look at 5:33 you recognize some dark grey or rather black colored stones embedded in the otherwise immaculate sandstone facade. These are original stones taken from the rubble pile that was left as a memorial after the Second World war. In 1993 they started to remove the pile stone by stone, digitally catalogizing every stone that was still useable and identifying its original place in the building with the help of old plans and accordance with its location in the rubble pile. I still remember walking past the huge racks full of these old stones around the building site as a child (I was seven years old back then).
Some of the places shown in the video are not far away from Dresden like Meissen (1:14, approx. 15 miles to the north west).
The hunting lodge in Moritzburg you can see at 11:23 is located about ten miles to the north from Dresden and was built under the reign of Friedrich Augusts II. father.
Königstein Fortress (0:45) and Bastei (4:03) are popular sights in the Saxon Switzerland National Park about 18 miles east of Dresden.
Now I live in Weimar, about 130 miles west of Dresden and near Erfurt (3:08), but emotional bonds towards Dresden are still strong due to family/friends and somehow that church - even though I'm not religious. But now as I think about it I realize that me growing up and the reconstruction where parallel processes, somehow.
Thanks for your very positive reaction - as others have commented, it makes one think and appreciate the beauty of our surroundings more. And even though I have been to quite a few of these places, I have put some of them on my list for future visits.
Hi there, Marburg is calling. I lived in ten of some beautiful cities in Germany. The worst was Stuttgart and the best Constance.
3:40 - I can actually see the worlds tallest church outside my window while typing - although my house wasn't in shot :D
I am German.
If you ever go to visit Germany: Skip the big citys and go to Thuringia for a week. Landscape is a 10, capital of Erfurt (03:08) is the most beautiful city you will ever see... You already said wow to our Town Hall. :D (03:12). Its the Fishmarket (Fischmarkt) from Erfurt looking towards the Town Hall. With the "Heilige Roland in between". I am actually from this city :)
Weimar was home to very famous people like Goethe ,Schiller and Luther.
And its called the green heart of Germany! Come visit us. :) And get to know the real Thüringer Bratwurst. You'll love it. :)
Places which are also from Thuringia:
06:45 Kyffhäuser Monument is in honor of King Barbarossa :) 06:52 This is Barbarossa. :)
12:35 The Wartburg near Eisenach is the place, where Martin Luther has written down his 95 thesis... Next to them are the "Drei Gleichen" (Three of a kind).
I second that!

For you American please note: You can get to almost every place in Germany in at most - lets say - 10 hours by car (if not cought in a traffic jam). Not by plane xD
i come from germany at the area of bonn/cologne... yesterday i was visiting lioncastle (these names sound so badass in english) and went to the most beautiful forrest i ever saw... i can send u pictures, its just so god damn beautiful around the rhein and the seven mountains (sieben gebirge)
I live near the Saarschleife (horse shoe river). Is a very nice area to hike and to enjoy nature. On the other side of the river there is another castle ruin with a restaurant. Really nice place
love it when people are interested in such things i mean their passion for sth. that s nice to see. ok, i m german and couldn see
all the castels but sure in school or on holidays. also eastern europe is wonderful.before the f...g war i was there, that s good in germany,.
when you are here in the middle of europe go on a trip to italy france the north and yeah, that s cool when u are interested in culture and food the people,how they are, they live and see similarities and differences and so on.. ok very nice video and you seems to be a sympathetic person!
On 12:25 you see Ludwigsburg, which is only 5 km away from my home. We visit the castle, blooming baroque, fairytale garden and greatest pumpkin show every now and then. Great place! 😊
As a German, I like to watch Drone views from all over the world especially some country leaning areas in countries known to men but every now and then, I watch it from Germany and think "You really do forget in what kinda beautiful land you life with this daily sh*t."
The warmest part of germany is in the southwestern corner, in the Rhine Valley aside the Black Forrest arround the Kaiserstuhl mountain area. Temperatures are usually arround 5°C warmer than in other parts of germany, and often even 10°C or more warmer than in the north.
My birthtown was in there, climate wise in winter it can get as cold as -20°C/ -4°F in the south and +40°C/ +104°F in summer. Weather wise best city is propably the one I live in Düsseldorf, there were a lot of heavy storms in the past years and for some reason, everthing around us (including the boardering city) is getting hit hard by those storms while we have sunshine and there are a few raindrops at best. In the past 10 years we´re only hit by two of all the heavy storms (I rode my bicycle through one of them to get home and had to climb tonns of fallen trees), that´s pretty awsome.
The video is really very beautiful.Germany has a great history where there was an Emperor Wilhelm II. and many counts and princes, that`s where there are so many palaces and castles and culture. The film Cinderella was shot at Moritzburg castle in Saxony and every year Christmas is on German television.It was also shown in Dresden , where in WWII . from 13.02.1945-15.02.1945 an area bombing directive had taken with phoshor bombs, so many people are dying and burning it was horrobile.Had taken placeby the allied forces and the city was comepletely destroyed including the beautiful Frauenkirche which was the symbol of Dresden.What i find so great about the story is that it was rebuilt an reconciliation and peace from donation from Germany,America, England etc. it took 12 years to rebuilt it .2005 was the first reconciliation service in the Frauenkirche in Dresden.It`s such a beautiful story of how enemies became friends.🙂💞👍
