![American reacts to THE FUNNIEST GERMAN MEMES [#61]](/img/tr.png)
"Why is anyone living there? Are there resources?" That is the most american way of thinking i have heard.
i am sure there are more than 80 million germans that would say the same thing.
"is there OIL???"
It sure is. The only legit reason against living there would be lack of medical care in an emergency situation. All else simply is a question of logistics and organisation. Supplies come from Husum anyway. People live there also in order to protect the Halligen from the uncontrolled grasp of nature's brutal forces, to look after the island and its wild-life (seals, birds, etc.). And then the mainland, too, because the Halligen serve as a natural barrier or breaker to the oftentimes powerful Northsea. It's breathtakingly beautiful there. Ryan should perhaps also react to Helgoland, Germany's only truly open-sea island.
Why do they live there?
Because their ancestors already did it when there was land all around instead of sea.
They never gave up living there and didn't move away like others did.
You commented my exact thoughts!
🏝️ In short, people live there because the country was not always an island.
Historically, the Halligen islands in the Wadden Sea were part of a larger landmass connected to the mainland. Before the great storm surge of 1362, known as the "Grote Mandrenke" (Great Drowning of Men), these areas were densely populated agricultural lands. Estimates suggest that over 100,000 people lived in this region prior to the catastrophic flood. The disaster reshaped the coastline, creating the scattered island landscape we see today. Despite the harsh conditions, some inhabitants chose to remain, adapting their lifestyle to the unique environment and maintaining a centuries-old tradition of resilience in the face of nature's forces.
"Floods made it hard for Olanders to use the port for transportation"
Ryan literally two seconds later: "why don't they use a boat?"
Yes. Made me sigh deeply.
Besides several “normal” islands we have ten Hallig islands in Germany. Seven of them are inhabited.
The fact that they are regularly under water is not due to global warming but rather because they are located in the Wadden Sea.
And are mostly not even a meter over the water.
Those eco terrorists should probably glue themselves on the pavement there and see if they can prevent flooding. But use really good, waterproof glue please.
@@Lupus_Indomitus Of course! Thanks for the addition. I was a bit rushed earlier because my break was almost over 😅
What I also wanted to add is that although climate change is not the reason, it is now making things even more difficult. For example, Pellworm, the island (not a Hallig!) around which the Halligs gather, could be almost uninhabitable in 20-30 years due to climate change, and the Halligs themselves are of course also in danger.
I would like to add that the North Atlantic is a very wild and stormy sea and storm coming from North West pushes a lot of water in high waves towards the sandy shelf on which is named German Bay. And these masses of water flood the wadden sea and also the islets, and islands also.
The water is enough to get up the river Elbe more than 100km and flood parts of Hamburg.
think it is a bit remiss not to say climate change is not making things worse though.
The type of roof is called thatched roof or "Reetdach" in german. It also exists in parts of england so if you want to look for videos on that, you will find some. Won't be translated but if you wanna scrub through the SWR Handwerkskunst video on Reetdach you can get an idea how it's done.
There are thatch roofs in the USA too.
Marsh Reeds would be the closest translation for the material used. They are common on houses near the coast, because it was abundant as a natural resource there.
@@sorenmeyer7347 Yes, and because it was banned elsewhere because of the risk of fire, especially in cities where the houses are very close together... and that has been the case since the late Middle Ages.
Of course it tranlates. It's reed (the plant) and thatch (the material made of reed for roofs).
@@dorisschneider-coutandin9965 They meant the SWR video. That would not be translated, but be in German.
They don't use boats all the time to get to the main land, because theses islands are in the Wadden Sea (the coastal part of the North Sea along the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark). If the tide is out (ebb tide), there is no water left around some of these islands and you could technically walk by foot to the main land. And with the railway tracks they can get there without wating a few hours for the next flood. :)
And even when the tide is in, it's often too shallow for most boats. And the parts that are deep enough require a significant detour, are ever changing and are hard to navigate.
With boats it is challenging, but absolutely possible. Most who travel there know their place very well.
It is usually tourists who get trapped or stranded.
During storms these islands are indeed cut off from the world.
It is a very flat coast. Differences between high and low tide in that area are in the order of 2 to 3 m. This translates into multiple kilometers in horizontal distance of the waterline at high vs low tide.
The moss on the roofs simply comes from the moisture. Frisian roofs are also often covered with thatch, a natural material that even encourages moss infestation.
At a Hallig the houses stands on Hills, that Hills are called in Germany Warft. The state helps the people on the Halligen. If they build new houses, there will be a minimum high of the Warft. The reason to protect the islands is to protect the main coast against storms.
In 1362 and 1634 were very great floods that cost a lot of land and up to 100.000 people (the real number is unknown, but this number is a scientific suggestion). This is called "Die Grote Mandränke".
Greetings from a Frisian (German) island 😅
Germany has a lot of Islands. The Halligen Islands from the report you commented are a minor group, that hundreds of years ago have been separated from the continent in bigger bloods. A bit more northern you find the Nordfriesische Inseln (North Frisian Islands). The biggest of that group is Sylt. Another group are the Ostfriesische Inseln (East Frisian Islands) which are like a chain along the North Sea coast untill the border to Netherlands. On the Dutch coast this chain of islands continues with the name Westfriesische Inseln. Within the Deutsche Bucht is Helgoland, an island, that Germany got from the English more than hundred years ago. On the Baltic Sea coast there are also a lot of islands, even the biggest of Germany: Rügen. Another bigger island is Fehmarn close to the Danish border. And the Island of Usedom is parted into a bigger German part and a smaller Polish part.
You have to watch some videos of the halligen, when its "land under" and a storm going on. That are some spectacular pictures
The houses are built on mounds to stay over the flood level. They do have concrete safe rooms at high levels in case of an extreme high tide. These mounds exist for millenia. They got elevated occasionally.
Hey Ryan, I don't often comment here but you have become one of my most watched CZcamsrs. Thanks a lot for your videos! No annoying special effects, no drama, just you and your uplifting personality. It always makes my day, especially when I'm very busy and stressed out.
I just came back from a vacation on the mainland opposite the small island of Neuwerk, which I saw everyday across the Wadden Sea.
Watching your video, I want to go back immediately.😍
the wattenmeer is very shallow and so boats cannot be utilized everywhere.
Ok, why people live there: At some places the residence on a Hallig is bound to a job, like protecting the "Wattenmeer", which is an important habitat and resting place for birds.
And for others it's simply a unique lifestyle. I would like to live on a Hallig, if not for the rough and cold weather in the north.
"Why do anybody live there`"
Because their families have lived there since before even the vikings "discovered" America?
Why do people in the US live in Tornado alley?
i think living on a tiny island with 16 people is different from living in one of the 15 states in tornado alley, nearly half of the US. living cut off from doctors, stores, movie theaters, restaurants, paying jobs, etc. is much different from living in say Houston Texas.
@@uliwehner In the video it said that the inhabitants of the island get to the mainland in 20 minutes on their trolley. Different to living in Houston, but not as cut off as one might think. They should be able to reach most or all of the things you mentioned in less than an hour.
@@bookllama8158 well, they may be on the mainland, but then they are still on foot. i understand that they live there every day, and have done so for centuries, but your average teenager can't just hop on the "train", and go to the movies with their friends, or grab an ice-cream cone. there are certainly other places where people are cut off, like high up in the mountains, or in Alaska for example. Cars makes things much more accessible. Here in the US kids start driving at 15, license at 16. so even on a farm in the middle of nowhere, they can just hop in and go anywhere, anytime.
@@uliwehner Yes but no - it's not like there is no space outside tornado alley in the US and the people there are not rooted on the land for millenia.
@@uliwehner there are poeple living in tiny, tiny villages somewhere in the middle of nowwhere as well in the US
There was more land in that area but it was lost to the sea in some heavy storm events in the last 10 centuries. The "grote mandränke" - the "great drowning" for example.
I live just opposite if some of these islands. It's fun taking photos in winter when the nice meadows become a rough sea overnight. Then we go windsurfing. 😅
I was Born and grow up in a City in Nordfriesland. HUSUM are a small Harbor City and i was every Day in the Northsea to swimm and fishing 🤩🤩🤩😘😘😘 it's was a great Childhood🥰
Most of the "Hallig" islands are surviving remnants of the 2nd St Marcellus's flood of 1362 (also called "Grote Mandrenke" in Low Saxon = great drowning of men) which took away much of the land formerly connecting those islands (including the town of Rungholt, the at the time biggest Frisian port), In 1634 followed the Burchadi flood, again changing the coastlines. (The 1st Marcellus flood in 1219 hit mostly the West Frisian regions including the Netherlands and created the Zuiderzee bay, which the Dutch closed off from the North Sea in 1932 by building the 32 km long Afsluitdijk and subsequently changing the lagoon into the Ijsselmeer, which gradually became a fresh water lake (by the inflow of river IJssel and the pumping out of salt water).)
4:35 Traditional northern German reet roofs, thatched with dried reed instead of shingles or roof tiles.
5:40 The Hallig inhabitants are traditionally dairy cattle farmers and fishermen. The meadows are a bit salty by the regular floodings, which allows only certain weeds to grow and gives the butter a special flavor.
These small towns on a low elevation island started as fisher towns with animal farming as a side business. Mostly sheep and cows. Some would do some small scale pirating or savaging of wracks.
*wrecks
What you see on the roofs there is reed, they insulate in the winter and keep the house nice and cool in the summer! Typical north German and Danish roof construction and expensive too.
Germany has beautiful islands. In the Baltic Sea, in North Frisia and East Frisia on the North Sea. The smallest, the Halligen, were part of the mainland before the great storm tides of the Middle Ages. I particularly love the East Frisian Islands (you can guess why from the user name, I may be a little biased), especially in the low season when the shops are still partly open and some restaurants, but the tourists are fewer (end of September, October). Then you experience a special tranquillity and the crossing by boat can also be rougher from the swell, which I also love. I remember Borkum and Juist best, the Frisian island of Wangerooge is not far from me and it is also very unique and beautiful.
The Hallig islands were mainly used for farming sheep and whale hunting in the old days. Nowadays there's still a few farmers but they also live from tourism during the sommer months.
The houses are built on hills called Warft and don't get flooded often but the grasslands which are just a bit above normal sea level are regularly under water. When there's a storm coming they get their sheep and cattle inside the barns on the Warft and when the sea retreats they let them back on the meadows.
For drinking water they collected rain water in early days and built ponds for their livestock. When all failed they had to import hay from the mainland. And grains for themselves of course. Very little grows there and the space is too small for big vegetable gardens anyway - let alone wheat fields - so the people lived mostly of milk and meat from their animals and what the sea gave them: fish, prawns, clams, sea bird eggs...

A thatched roof is a traditional type of roof covering. Dried reeds, called reed, are used for this. Thatching is considered to be one of the oldest craft techniques in house building. Houses covered with thatch are also called thatched houses or reethus or thatched roof houses.
Wikipedia / Reetdach❤
Moving there from Hanover is a different world. I want to live there too 😖 What a beautiful quiet life 🥰
Anyone who loves nature, the sea and animals is in good hands there.
But it is undeniably a challenge. During a storm they are cut off from the world. Package delivery is a challenge, so much that they have it delivered to the mainland and pick it up at friends they have there.
Self sufficiency has become better with cheaper battery systems, so they might have better power reliance than USA 😂
@@alis49281 You are right, it IS a challenge. You will have to face yourself without distractions of the modern world (although there has to be internet too) :)
it is mostly about coastal protection the small Islands calm the see so the mainland has less to worry about. And the rail is for transporting material for Managing the watt. The people living there are mostly farmers who have their farmland on the Island. some fishers too.
Germany not only has those small islands but also several bigger Islands in the North Sea; the East- and North-Frisian Islands. The Halligen belong to the North-Frisian Islands. The East Frisian Islands are alongside the mainland like pearls on a necklace. There is a lot of tourism, as we Germans love to spend our vacations there. Most islands are quiet and can be reached by ferries or smaller planes like cessnas or so. Some of those ferries only go there twice a day depending on the tides. Norderney Island can be reached several times a day (one ferry per hour or so). Therefore it is mostly overrun with tourists in summer, but nevertheless a beautiful island with stunning beaches. If you ever get to Germany and have the time, you should visit one of those islands.
Once upon a time ... these Halligs were part of the mainland. Rising water levels after the ice age combined with storm floods formed these islands for centuries. People who were living there decided to stay on whatever tiny piece of land there was left. People all over the world tend to cling to their homeland as long as possible before relocating.
I think nowadays people there mostly live on tourism.
During COVID, the Islands were shut off except for inhabitants, and when masks weren't obligatory on the mainland any more, lots of shops and even hotels on the North Frisian Islands still insisted that customers wear masks.
That's not moss on the roof. It is thatched with reed.
I guess they live there because they love the calm and the stunning beauty of this almost surreal landscape. Talking about things money can't buy.
Some Farmers who live on the Halligs are employed by the Land Schleswig-Holstein for Coast protection.The Halligs are also a natural barrier for the protection of the mainland during the storm season in autumn and winterlichen winter
People live their because it's our (their) land, and their fathers and forefathers have lived there.
The meaning of "home land" can be very deep to many people. Land payed for in blood. Land that gave refuge to those who were driven away.
You live somewhere because of the rich history of your ancestors; that heritage should not easily be betrayed.
I cant help but grin. he has such a cool dialect
The current Wikipedia article says there are now 21 people living on Oland. With the rising sea levels, I'm afraid living on a Hallig would not be my chosen way of life. I wish them all well!
Ich bin ein Inseljunge... 🎶🤣
why people live there ? because its there home ...
why do people live in LA its on top of a fault line it has earth quakes nonstop xD
why people live in the tornados areas in usa ? some of them had their houses destroyed 4 times and always rebuild them (btw i would suggest building them from stone then tehy keep standing xD)
"why do people live in LA" because they want to become Actors.
@@MusikCassette To ensure they still don't have a life.
@@MusikCassette that is more unrealistic than ww3
@@LeroxYT LA is full of "actors" who just currently don't have a job. so the drive a taxi work in a restaurant and do pretty much every other job there is in LA.
@@MusikCassette that doesnt sound good either, just doing random shitty jobs to not land on the street as a homeless
Ryan my man they don't have a lot of oil, resources , some people just want to live peacefully away from the chaos of big cities , quietly and calmly .
These people value that more than resources conveniences kinda like your Amish but in this century not the 1800's like your Amish ,get it ?
The Hallig Hooge was my favourite vacation spot. A zen like landscape, sky, water and space, qieteness. Silence, if you stay clear of the tourist frequented places, because Hooge and Langeness are the "Hotspots" maybe I can visit Gröde or Oland one day.
The inhabitants mostly are farmers and live there by passed over house and farms from the elderly, very rarely new people come to live there , mostly by marriage or searched professions. Now, many of them are also employed by the governmental coastline protection campaign. There is always need for work on the shores. The houses are typical frisian architecture with brick walls and roofs decked with thatch. This type of architecture spreads all over Netherlands, German and Denmarks coastal areas and even to the UK and baltic costal areas. Such a roof needs to be redone every 20 to 40 years, and nowadays is very very expensive to to and to pay fire insurance. After many years the thatch gets moisture and moss starts growing. In the 1500s there was a huge flooding, that drowned a lot of islands and even mainland areasforever. Now the rest gets protection and maintenance to protect the mainland ,they are very important. Come over to Germany , learn that profession ( very , very big demanded for) and get rich by running a business for life in that profession.
The island in the thumbnail by the way is Heligoland in the german bight, about 50 km away from the coastlines of Schleswig-Holstein and Lower-Saxony. The number of regular inhabitants there is about 1500. Heligoland is the Mekka for birdwatchers ... and lovers of hard alcoholic stuff in Germany. Therefore Heligoland's nickname is Fuselfelsen, which means Boozerock.
I lived for 5 years on an island off the Welsh coast with a permanent population of around 11 augmented by about 30 visitors a week during summer months. It was an idyllic lifestyle. I loved it. Enlli always in my heart. ❤❤❤
They dont use a boat, because you need a HARBOR for them ... and since the water is of VERY varying height ... you'd have to come up with a REALLY SECURE way to make sure your boat doesnt get swept away during a storm.
Since I lived the first 24 years of my life on the neighbouring island of Föhr I was often on the Halligen. As a school kid I often camped during holidays at a farm which was owned by my friends grandma. From time to time we had also experienced land unter. We helped to get cattle and sheeps into the stable and we looked out of windows watched the waterlevel rising. It was very exciting, despite having a storm it was very quite. Like holding your breath and awaiting how far the water level will rise and if we get wet feet. The land unter is mainly caused by low elevation of the hallingen so that storms could rise the water level flood the islands.
I guess they live there because they always lived there, and don't wanna give it up for a city.
Didn't know the word Hallig. Learning something new today, so... thanks :D
Yeeesssss, a northern gemany relatet reaction!
And for the roofs: Traditionally the roofs of northern german houses (Friesenhaus, Hallenhaus or Stallhaus) where thatched with reed (german Reetdach).
And yes, the moss and lichen start to grow on this natural material. If it gets thiock, the whole roofcover needs to be renewed.
Btw: Such roofs are biological "hot spots" for insectae, birds and different kinds of mamals.
Sadly some people reminded us that we have islands... The "right" kind of people
There a many bigger Halligen where more people are living and which are open for tourism and which you can reach by boat.
i suggest you take a germany vacation for 1 month. spend 3-5 days on a hallig or other small coastal island. then you understand why people live there
Actually, the moss on this type of roof basically is bad for the roof.
While global warning makes high tides worse, especially during storm season, Halligen are under threat of general erosion aswell.
Nearly all of the German northern border (only exception is the land connection to Denmark) is anywhere on the sea, so very surprising that there are islands. xD
Some of them are indeed very popular for tourists.
There's also another german island called Neuhelgoland (New Helgoland). It's currently known under the name Great Britain.
About the boat: I would guess, the sea often isn't deep enough to get heavier stuff on the island by boat.
Fun fact on the side.
After the catastrophic flood of 1362 (?), only a few raised areas remained in the coastal region. These were initially inhabited and the farmers fled to the dung heaps at every high tide.
Over the centuries, these dung heaps continued to grow and were occasionally enlarged / raised with silt so that it can be said that the inhabitants of the Hallig live on the centuries-old dung of their ancestors. So man and sheep have shat their own dry piece of land :-D
The inhabitants of the Halligs usually make their living from protecting it and the coast behind from the sea as employees of the government for that purpose.
These people live on this island, because their famsly has lived there for a longer time than the us exists, and the house tops are everywhere on the german coast like that
Well, you might be surprised but in fact people from islands are very well able to move to the mainland and people from the mainland are moving to the islands. You won´t find in most cases a continuity back to older than 200-300 years. I know I know it´s very romantic to think of familes with roots going back hundreds of years, but that´s not how this works. And if you wanna proof: Well they aren´t inbreed.
Greetings from a Frisian Historian.
the bad word you thought you were saying is spelled with a “y”… Dikes exist in English just as well as in Germany (Deiche). They are protective dunes (usually man-made, to ward of flooding at beaches and around islands on sea-level or, as in the example, below….
Dyke (BE) and dike (AE) is the same, only two different spelling variants. It can be a shallow indentation as well as elevation. It’s similar to ditch/trench or dam/levee.
@@D4BASCHT Yes, but he is American and there, the word spelled with Y has a very different and derogatory meaning… That is clearly what he associated with it judging from his irritated reaction and unwillingness to even speak the word…
Still remember as a kid we would take a boat as far we could,get out and walk the rest of the way in mud,one of the boats from Denmark.
Moss on the roofs is also used as isolation-material to keep it warm and or cold inside the houses.
I saw the thumbnail and got so excited. I thought you were gonna react to my Island :)
How about u come up with an original idea if u wanna scam me and not try it with these lame ass attempts. Pathetic! I spit on you!
5:43 the woman in the scene before explained exactly why she wants to live there
Originally it was land there. But each storm surge has swept more land into the sea. Some moved away, others stayed. Just a small island that is regularly flooded. The houses stand on small hills and are therefore protected. There's not much going on there. A few sheep or cows graze when the water doesn't flood everything. There is a small train and residents are allowed to ride there themselves. There has recently been electricity and a telephone. But it is very quiet there. Hardly anyone find their way there.
Just read about Runghold if you want to know more about the two big floods (12th and 15th century) which killed most of the people living there
"Floods made it hard for Olanders to use the port."
Literally two seconds later: "Why don't they use a boat?!"
I'm sorry, but you really need to start listening to and watching what you're reacting to. Almost every single time when you ask a question about anything you're reacting to, you either paused the video WHILE THEY WERE ANSWERING THAT SAME QUESTION or it had actually been answered ALREADY. 😅
I would love to live there - nature, silence, calmness... are good reasons to live there!
@ryan wass If you should ever visit northern Germany, get in contact my Mom IS from Hallig Langeness and I would organize a trip for you with the "Lore" to the Hallig
I was on a Hallig nearby called Langeneß. They have similar wagons and the journey was pretty interesting. We were there just one day, but the impression is worth it.
That's not moss on the roofs, those are thatched roofs. They are quite common on the coast, not only in Germany.
This is the feeling of 🏡 😊Home sweet Home!
funny to see Oland and Langeness in your reactions. I see the Halligs everyday from the island I live on.
germany has over 40 islands in north sea and baltic sea😁👍
German wikipedia says there are now 21 residents. Seems to be a thriving village.
This is such a weird video to me.... I forgot Germany has islands. Bro, at least 12 European countries has islands. Even little Denmark has 1400 of them it seems. I knew of the named ones, but thats still 440+ islands. So we all have islands around here mate.. 😅
I Iove the island Baltrum, that has no cars and 500 people living there and I would move there if I could afford it and of I wouldn't be afraid that my pets got seriously ill (no vet on the island).
I'm not sure if I could live on a Hallig. To find a friend as an outsider and only 16 people might be too hard.
look at it this way: you know exactly where your 16 friends are at any given time.
5:17 yeah let's just use a boat. Oh wait the low tide won't allow travel via boats..
next video get informed about the "Wattenmeer"
The lack of privacy and boredom would probably kill me..and no, there are no ressources there..
German Wikipedia says 21 people
I guess they live there for the same reason why other people live in their places: probably it is their home. If people own a house and some land on a Hallig, it would not make much sense to live in a rented apartment somewhere else. But obviously the younger generation went away.
It's a pity, that this video doesn't show the "storm flood" - high tide - when these halligs are completely flooded and every single or a few houses on their "warfs" - little hills -are just a few meters above the roaring sea. It's amazing ... and this situation can last some days. 😎
Boy has never seen a reed roof in his life 😌
In conclusion: Ryan should react to more Hallig stuff, the german islands in general and Reetdach (those roofs)
Moos is bad for the house, I have no clue why they have it on the roof...it stores water and keeps the roof wet and since moos can grow through bricks or wood, the rain water can get inside the house. Where I live we get rid of it.
I don't think I have ever heard of Oland before lol. I'm glad the people are happy but I couldn't ever imagine living there
There's also a Japanese island with only 2 people living on it. (it's also known for being the only place in Japan for age of consent being very low)
There are many of those island at the northsee
I spend one year (2020-2021) living on Helgoland. If you want to know anything, just ask. ^^
Hallig Gröde has just 10 inhabitants and is much smaller than Oland.
the roof is reed, needs to be replaced from time to time, but dunno the how long it stays up there and it's typical for northern houses, afaik still pretty common but not all over the place
Could you also give a reaction to "little Niels"? This is a radio prank in which various people in their professions are called by a little boy named Niels.These videos are cult here in Germany in the areas where they are received.The videos also all have subtitles.
@03:30 - nope .... the tides in the north sea sre stable. It depends on the general wether and the phases of the moon.
You won‘t understand „Hallig“ and north German Islands until you‘ve been there your own!
4:57 "port not usable during floods"
5:04 why dont they use a boat?
that will forever remain a mystery :D
Small suggestion:
Take a look at the German island of Sylt.
what is interesting about sylt?
Best beach in Germany
Kite, surf, wine and catamaran (boat) festival
Rich people are a problem. (climate warming)
and much more
I've grown up on the most popular Island in Germany. It was nice.....until it wasn't. Now I'm living far from home but enjoying life without a beach but affordable everything else... ✌️
check ot Helgoland our only high sea Island
What does “dike” mean else?
Extremely derogatory for jewish people, written with an y afaik. Kinda like the n-word for jews.
Dike is a slang-word for "Lesbe" but not in a polite way.
dike with a y instead of an i was often used as an derogatory term towards lesbians. idk if thats what he´s referring to but its the first thing that came to my mind
It's a derogatory word for jews
Search Urban Dictionary with y.
Beautiful Islands!! Some wirhout Cars!
