As typical American tourists, we found Nuremburg fascinating - the old city with it walls still in place, the castle, the cathedral and all of the restaurants, bars and architecture were all very cool. And with the train station, just outside, it was perfect.
...especially when you think that about 90% of the old town was destroyed (including the castle), and they were thinking of completely stomping everything inside of the city walls. Luckily they decided to build everything up again; and by using the destinctive red sand stone it blends together really well. Im from Cologne and lived in Nrbg for a year and loved walking around in the city centre :)
I would imagine that quite a few of you became aware that Nalf had posted this new video via IG. And what does each of his IG alerts say: New Art. And that is the truth. His videos are seldom simple accounts of a visit or a long, static section of him sitting down and looking at the camera. They are filled with action, nostalgia, lessons even; accompanied by variety, multiple topics woven together through skillful editing. And humor. Always a signature touch of Nalf humor.
My great-grandmother is from a place close to Nuremberg. She met my great-grandfather at the Nazi rally 1937, who came there from Berlin as a Wehrmacht soldier. Very romantic love story... lol Another imprtant historical event that happened in Nuremberg was the opening of the first railway line in Germany between Nuremberg and the neighboring city Fürth in 1835. The first train driver of Germany (William Wilson from Great Britain) is also buried in Nuremberg. And since 2008 Nuremberg is the first German city with driverless Metro lines.
Yo nalf, just wanted to give you some love cause I have been living in Europe for a good while and you do a fine job of giving an unpretentious view of Europe as American. Granted your experience is different from mine but I love your humble approach and love of learning. Keep killin it
I agree, but what would there be to be pretentious about? Europe in general/central Europe is gorgeous. The most incredible continent. It is "Earth's cry, Heaven's smile" after all. I look forward to always being there myself.
You do realise that there are 51 different countries on the continent of ‘Europe’. All with their own laws, customs and history . Stop with saying ‘I live in Europe’..Where? Which country? NALF’s view of ‘Europe’…;in how many countries has he been?
@@edwardvisser6351 I get what you are doing and don't want to call you out on calling out american cultural ignorance, but I am more proud to be european than to be german, so I have no problem with it being called that, as long as there is at least some awareness that it's diversity is the most important quality.
The Grand German City Tour returns; always fun to watch. Love the mix of adventure, distilling a little local history, sampling the local delicacies (except for Fischbrötchen) & overcoming the adversities of some mishaps whether they be flat tyre, towed-away car, spilt beer or broken camera lens. It would be tremendous if the German Tourism Board or the German Beer Industry in partnership with Germany’s Baker’s Guild could sponsor the Nalf & Friends German Cities Bread & Beer Expedition. They should welcome Nick’s insightful expert analysis of all local brezels & bread-based snacks, & his refined superior alcohol tasting palate/abilities.
You couldn’t have done a better job describing Brezel Kolb pretzels. Just to be clear: the quality and freshness you described is the quintessential specimen. For some reason, Nürnbergers are proud of them. Full disclosure: I moved to Nürnberg at the end of 2007 after living in Würzburg for seven years. In 2013 I became a German citizen.
.... and you could keep your American citizenship as well right? I envy you for being able to live in my beloved Nuernberg. I, as a German, was stripped of my German citizenship several years ago when they found out that I had been given the citizenship of another country a few years ago in addition to my German one. My family can trace their Germanness back over 600 years on both sides. All from the Nuernberg/Fuerth/Erlangen/Wuerzburg area.
I am currently in Würzburg because my girlfriend is living here and I wasn't able to find one good bakery here. Any recommendations? I'm from Nürnberg myself and the Bezen there are much better in my opinion :D
My husband while we are discussing the children’s Christmas presents: “your attention span has expired?” Me: “there is a new NALF video…”. My husband: nods and gives a grunt of understanding and admitting defeat.. 😂😂😂
That's my hometown. Damn I miss that smell of Christkindelsmarkt, Lebkuchen and Glühwein in winter. The few christmas markets don't feel the same over here... Nürnbergs history is very interesting. The medival aspects and albrecht Dürer, but also it's dark past during the 3rd Reich. The architecture makes you feel the absurd ideas and idiology of the Nazis. Away from individuality to the fanatical belief that everything must be made the same, whereby the architecture should suggest that one is alone only very small and powerful in the mass.
What a cool video you made of my home town, thank you so much for sharing your impressions. Hopefully you can come back whenever the Christkindlmarkt can reopen, that's the best time of the year.
Interesting (maybe) facts about Nuremberg: Nuremberg was an Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire (meaning it was not subordinated to any sovereign but the Emperor himself and its own state within the Empire), but also seat of an Imperial castle / emperor's palace, which was managed by the Burgraves (and counts palatines) of Nuremberg, a position held by the younger line of the Hohenzollern since 1190. This line won also the Margraviate of Brandenburg as Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg was forced to give it off in 1398 (he controlled all other regions at the eastern frontier already including the the kingdom of Bohemia, and had become also king of Hungary and Croatia, so the nobles of the Empire feared he became to powerful). They inherited in the 17th century the Polish dukedom of Prussia, which became independent due to the Nordish war between Sweden and Poland. The Nazis never won a free election in Nuremberg. In the 1920s Nuremberg was governed by the liberal DDP together with the socialdemocratic SPD. But one of chief ideologist of the Nazi party, Julius Streicher, elementary school teacher and publisher of agitatory newspaper "Der Stürmer", was there at home, and so the Nazis chose the city (which was positioned in the very center of Germany at the time) to be the site of their conventions.
Very important infos, thank you. A few things you could add: There were other reasons why they chose Nürnberg. In the late middle ages the city was extremly powerfull and wealthy, until the 30 years war it stored the imperial treasury and many important imperial diets were held there (I think for a time every new emperor was required to hold his first diet in Nürnberg but I am not completely sure). Finaly the diet got a permanent place in Regensburg but Nürnberg had made its mark. The Nazis tried to stress continouity with the „first reich“ (which was the HRE) and making the city of the imperial diets the city of their imperial party diets was part of that, after the Anschluss they even brought the imperial treasury back from Vienna for a few years. In addition: Nürnbergs historic core was very well preserved until its destruction in WW2, it must have been a beautiful city, so the Nazis chose it to promote it as the „imperial treasure chest“
Nuernberg is the most German of all cities in Germany and A.H. made it his favourite one. Munich, Berlin and Linz were also amongst his favoured cities.
As an American living in Nuremberg, completely understand what you're saying about the history here. Glad to see you made it here for more than 45 minutes :)
I was in Schwäbisch Hall 2 years ago and met Dennis and you guys there in June. I actually come from Nürnberg and still live here but I make sure to pay a visit again to Schwäbisch Hall :) Kolb has amazing Nutella Grapfen Brezen you should have tried those :) I hope you had a great time.
Visit Cologne, 98% of the town was destroyed in 1945, and there was no "Reichsparteitag", just in the reach of RAF for several years. My mother was lucky, she left the city days before the house she lived in was bombed. She then lived in the countryside, where she survived an attack by a fighter plane that was hunting civilians in the field because he found no soldiers. No, she was no nazi, she was 14 at the end of WWII.
Yes, the beer shop guy did a good job. Schanzenbräu Rotbier is really a special treat. 👍 Kolb's Brezen used to be the best (crispy and tasty) but they changed their recipe a few years back and they are always chewy now. Not the best anymore. I recommend the Sansibar Breze from "Der Beck" next time. It has pepper (hence Sansibar) and salt on it and tastes as good as the Kolb's used to back in the day. Driving past the Nazi buildings every day and not really recognizing them anymore, your video was a good reminder to go and visit the Dokuzentrum again. They did some renovations there during Covid, so time to go once again. And you really should visit "Saal 600" next time where the Nazi trials took place. It's only a few stops from the centre with the subway and worth the tour. Well, I guess my comment is automatically deleted because of the link of the Saal 600 museum I inserted. So I am removing it. Look up "Saal 600" or "Memorium Nuremberg Trials" to find it.
Maybe that's a stupid question( I could google it), but really, I can't think of a reason, at least on the spot. Why does CZcams delete comments that contain a link?
@@marleneaurora2000 Not a stupid question at all. 🙂 I guess it's to prevent spamming from adult sites etc. They are a problem at Instagram for example. YT tries to become much more family friendly recently (to the displeasure of many creators because yt is getting more and more restrictive with the content). CZcams links are o.k. though and some comment sections allow other links. Maybe NALF can set it up individually. I never uploaded videos to yt but I know that creators can block certain words in the comment section (political, sexual...) etc. so probably the same with external links.
Nuremberg was one of hubs of trade, commerce and industries in medieval times and later. Mechanical wonders of that age were often from there: artificial limbs for those who could afford them, the first pocket watch, wheellock mechanisms for arms ( it would go too far to write about that here), suits of armour, swords.... Those arms were often decorated with engravings and etchings and that gave birth to lots of graphical arts, as those artisans printed those decorative patterns on paper for advertising. Later Nuremberg attracted machine building firms as well (think of MAN). You might say that Nuremberg was THE German city par excellence and no wonder the "Germanisches Museum" was settled there. In the Holy Roman Empire ( up to the Napoleonic era) Nuremberg played an important role in the process of electing and nominating the German King ( who was then made Emperor by the Pope). That symbolic value was exploited by the nazis and despite the fact that Munich had been the birthplace of the nazi-movement and Berlin was the capital of Germany, the nazis held their bombastic party conventions and rallies there.
Nuremberg is also one of the cities where every few weeks/ months an old bomb gets discovered and has to be defused. Another thing you find when digging on Nuremberg grounds is really old archeological and historical stuff, so every building company gets really annoyed when they have to dig in the ground. I mean you either find a bomb or historical remains you have to preserve
Greetings from Oregon 😄 You're content and video have really evolved over time ! Enjoy watching them more and more ! Keep up the great work , stay safe , and drink Dutch Bros coffee , taste's much better than Starbucks !!! Lol 😆 Go Unicorns !!! Sea chicken fan here in the states !!!
Finally a video about my hometown. i´m always curious about how other people see "my town". 5 minutes in, you already walked by my first own flat and almost one of my previous jobs :D Edit: We have a KOLB Brezel-drive in In nuremberg.
without corona those places would be packed. i was in nürnberg a few years ago 10 times more people around. Its sad to see how "empty" the markets are in these times. :-(
Really nice to see, I live there for like 12 years now, moved from a smaller city also in Franconia. Could have mentioned the city wall, Iirc Nürnberg is the only big European city that still has basically all of its city wall, with just a few break throughs for roads. Some of it is pretty impressive. Also that place from the party rallys... it is really nice there, there is a lot of green around, few lakes (that were actually to be the base for some stupid big stadium). Also the place where you stood, that tribune... man the times I sat there with a friend, having a nice beer. It is really cool, the stones keeps so much heat from the sun, we often sat there in a late summer night that already got a bit cold but on there it was still kinda warm. There was very few people, just some car guys meeting every weekend close to it, you could really enjoy the silence (at least untill someone of the car people had a really loud car). Man, I miss these times, life got a lot more serious after finishing university and all...
I was there 2 weeks ago. it wasn't that christmassy yet, but still beautiful and very lively. Thanks for your impressions (personable and interesting as always) 🤗
I drank Starbucks coffee only once. Since then I have preferred to go to a café or a bakery or even to Tchibo. Otherwise a great video! Congratulations!
I would say Starbucks is not bad, expensive yes but I like the Caramel Macchiato with extra Caramel Drizzle … I also like also the coffee from McDonalds …
Yes. Da hast du die Stimmung voll beschrieben. Die geheimnisvollkeit und das Wetter geben einen schönen Charme. Dadurch schmeckt das Getränk und alles umso spezieller. Und Prost dazu! 🍺 (Wir können uns doch nicht in die Augen anschauen, haha.)
Love ❤ Nuernberg. You ought to try a German Cafe and experience the German coffee culture.. i don't know if the lovely Cafes still exist but at one time they were fabulous. I did see Tchibo though. Thank you for a great video and stay safe 👍❤
Great video. I love the Starbucks bit 😂 I also really appreciate that you like to learn about Nazi germany. It’s such an important issue to learn about and to keep remembering. If you are in Berlin I recommend to visit one of the museums that deal with that (e.g. Topographie des Terrors, Haus der Wannseekonferenz). Greetings from Berlin
Hola Nalf, soy española, vivo en Sevilla, y no me preguntes porqué pero me he enganchado a tus videos, tienes una mente abierta, dispuesto a aprender y disfrutar de todo lo que Europa puede ofrecerte, además me divierto mucho contigo!!!!! He hecho el comentario en español para que lo practiques, para cuando vengas de vacaciones, jejeje
NIce to see you in my hometown. I have a Kolb (it's just the name of the bakery) Breze every few days for breakfast at the office. And SB? Why? There are so many Cafes in the city. Next time you visit Nürnberg, try to visit the Kunstbunker, the Toy Museum or the Felsengänge beneath the castle. OH... and you can also visti Saal 600, its a memorial now. It's the hall where the trials took place.
One thing that really makes me think is that Germany has over 3000 years of history including the Roman empire in Germania Magna, and the world has become fixated on the measly 12 years of National Socialism.
It isn't a trip without someone not having proper ID. Great video! I lived in Nuremberg for 4 years and this made me a little homesick. Many nice memories. And I used to grab a Brezel almost every day while I changed from subway to tram or from tram to bus on my way to university. Seeing the sign immediately brought back the taste.
Nuremburg in 1980 what struck me most was yes, all rebuilt in an old architechtural style but all so obviously new, so, a bit like visiting Disneyland. I caught a bad cold there and laid up in a youth hostel bunk bed it was the only place in a four month five country backpacking trip where I had my bag rifled through and stuff stolen, apart from a drying shirt in Venice. I've always thought that was maybe a metaphor, I definitely got a bad vibe there and moved on to Munich as soon as I felt better and then Muhltal (missing umlaut) up above Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, now that place was stunningly beautiful. Never did find the Parade Grounds in Nuremburg though.
Sorry that you were ill during your stay and thus could not enjoy Nuernberg to the fullest. Hope you make another visit to this great city. The Reichsparteitagsgelaende is away from the inner city. It is a huge area in the southeast of the city center, past the former SS-Kaserne. The American occupiers called this "Kaserne" between 1946 and 1993 "Merrill Barracks". GIs lived in there. Today, it is an immigration center of sorts. Anyway, you have to drive past this place and eventually will arrive at the Dutzendteich area where you see the Congress Halle (it looks like the Colosseum in Rome. Go a bit further and you see the area where the big marches took place in the 1930 and part of the 1940s. It is to this day a most impressive area, an aura of eternity grips you, every step breathes history, ancient history. There also were marches on the Hauptmarkt where the Golden Fountain is. In the 30s it was called Adolf-Hitler-Platz. In the late 40s, it was renamed yet again.
For a second i thought you would enter the Nordseeshop and get a Fischbrötchen. Releaved that it was only the Starbucks Coffee. Well deserved after the beer drama. Jokes aside i am really happy to see John without crutches.
I have moved to Nuremberg last year and it is a special city. The history is present everywhere but also the power to move on and build something better. I appreciate that they kept some Nazi buildings as a reminder that something like the 3rd Reich can never happen again. And is in on all of us to make sure, it stays like that Also it gives me a weird feeling of hope to see people with all backgrounds, ethnicities, religions and identities walk on these grounds and have fun.
Hey Nalf, very fun and interesting to watch, even for me as a german. Your storytelling is great and fun, more then many things coming up on stupid german tv. thank you for uplading those unique clips of yours with its original content, that dont seem to polarize just for the clicks on youtube.
Everytime I watch a video about an American living in Germany I always get the feeling I should travel more in my home country. After some NALF videos I feel like he saw more of Germany in his few years than i did in my whole life.
Pro Tip for stale or little dry Brezeln. Pour tap water over them, soak them entirely once for 2 seconds. Then immediately put them in an oven pre-heated at 220°C for 2 or 3 minutes. They will go back to freshly baked-almost.
Hi Nalf. Nuremberg is one of my favourites in Europe. Beautiful. There is a town not far called Bamberg which is stunning too. Nuremberg reminds me very much of krakow in Poland which is also a beautiful city
Great video! Thank you. I was born and raised in Nuernberg. My ex-husband was stationed there. My 87 year old mom and lots of other family still live there so I go "home" frequently. I now live in Florida (where my ex-husband was from) What was I thinking?? Haha!
Hope you had time to visit the stone cellars under the City. Originally for brewing beer but in WW2 were used in the bombings as shelters for inhabitants and storing artworks. Really interesting.
Interesting Nürnberg fact. Considering the destruction during WWII it’s is actually surprising how few civilians died during the bombings. This is thanks to the intricate and deep cellar and underground passage system which was mostly build during the Middle Ages. Because almost every house had deep cellars, sometimes even with multiple levels, civilians were able to take shelter. Originally these cellars were used to store beer while it finished fermenting. Every brewery had to have a cellar to guarantee the quality and safety of their Beer. There was/ is also an intricate set of underground passages, some which were only there as water collection systems others were used to connect the cellars and give breweries with more space. Should you ever find yourself in Nürnberg you should consider booking a cellar tour. It’s really interesting and you can learn a lot about beer culture and the city itself.
You could have stayed in the youth hostel ... in the castle (well, almost - it's in the historic stable building next to it). And they have a bar next to the reception (I don't know the Covid protocols there, though).
A lot of english-speaking people confuse Nürnberg with Nürburg. The former has a tiny street circuit called Norisring, the latter is home to the infamous Nordschleife which is almost 10 times longer.
Great that you took my advice seriously and went to nürnberg. The thing with the population is that nürnberg is more or less one big area. Nürnberg, fürth and Erlangen. Which is >1 Mio people. The area is the headquarters for industry automation global ly.
idk if someone else said it.. but the English spelling is the original. People from there pronounced it more like "Nürnberg" in their dialect so it was changed at one point. Cologne is also actually more original, It is a Roman Name: Colognia . Köln is the muble-fication of Cologne.
do you know that the Nürnberg Rams are playing on the field in the Zeppelin field? you got their field on your film . you get abetter coffee nearly everywhere and cheaper. then at Starbucks.
Actually red beers comes in many varieties, bottom fermented and top fermented. What they do have in common though is that they contain slightly roasted malts, which provide a darker colour and a caramel like taste, or just a hint of it, depending on the beer type. Sometimes the colour is enriched with other ingredients.
So... Glühwein is actually a "modern" or rather leftover version of simple spiced wine which people started drinking back in the days, because, well all they had was mostly water, beer, milk, mead and wine and they got bored eventually. So they started spicing up things/wine with what they had. Mostly and mainly cinnamon, anise, juniper berries, pepper and honey. But they had to warm it up to melt the honey and blend in the spices easier. Also, those were spices closely resembling tastes and smells in christmas times AND the wine was warm, so since nobody wanted to drink something that constantly reminded them of christmas AND warm stuff in summer AND it really doesn't taste good when cold, they decided to save it for the winters. Those pretzels weren't special because of the product itself but because the manufacturer has been around for ages and Germans tend to consider the most traditional the best. And you have to admit, if something is able to stay around for the longest, it might also be the best, right? Well, wrong. Obviously ^^ What's so special about pretzels? Generally nothing, they're still plain wheat-dough porducts. BUT their coating is a certain kind of lye and gives it a hint of special taste, compared with products without a lye-coating. It's not necessarily dominant, though, so nothing too crazy about it. The white stuff is either flour (for whatever reason) or more reasonably powdered salt (for taste). Depending on the region (Bavarians and Swabians are actually still fighting over who invented them) you might find versions with actually hard knots and arms, very soft ones (almost like American pretzels) and normal, powdered or grainy salt. The crust should have been crunchy and the dough soft, though, so maybe you really did just get a bad (or maybe just old) one. Better luck next time! Try to get your hands on one fresh from the oven and you'll be very happy ;) One thing, though: unlike in America, no matter what (big) Pretzel you get your hands on, you never EVER eat it with mustard... Apart form the culinary: I'm sure you already know, but when you want to experience AGES old German history, like pre medieval times, don't necessarily go to cities. They're just too young. You may want to go to the countrysides (Schwäbisch Hall and its surroundings are actually very rich in history!) or choose your destinations based on their age: the older they are, the more they have to tell. Keep up exploring, I'm really happy to see you diving into German history and culture and enjoying it and enjoy myself following you on your adventures!
Nuremberg was sort of the Silicon Valley of the middle-ages. It was a city in their own rights in a quite early stage and the craftsmanship gilds soon developed unique and high quality tools and technologies.
Where’s Laura? A weekend away with the boys instead of spending it with Laura!? Especially when you’re probably going home to Portland very soon for Christmas and not returning to Germany until next spring when the football season begins again - bad boyfriend! We miss Laura, your better half and she should now be in every NALF video!
You ahould also visit Bamberg, Bayreuth,Fürth, Würzburg Regensburg... Frankonia /Bavaria has some interesting not too large cities some of them even dating back to Roman times
watched a few videos so far. if you are ever up north (Hamburg mainly) you have to try Franzbrötchen, its basically a cinnamon roll but its not overbearing and really good
Just because you are interested in history. If the name of a German city (or village) ends with -burg or -berg, the probability that there once was (or still is) a castle is very high.
I made at least two day-trips to Nurnberg (sorry I couldn’t find the umlaut, and AutoCorrect didn’t add it), while visiting Munich. Mostly to visit Frauentormauer. When that wore me out, I did see the main plazas, the kebab shops, and also relented and saw the parade grounds.
Keep your eyes peeled for when they open the bunker underneath the central train station for tours. It’s stunning. As well as the lochgefängnis and felsengänge at the bottom of the castle. They are open almost all year around. Edit: German bread isn’t hard. It has a crust. Not like the sweet sponge that sticks to the gum called American Bread ;-D
I don't exactly know why I as a german watch a guy from mercia doing videos about my home country, but i enjoy it! keep them coming :)

I love the way Germans operate and think (efficient, punctual ect). It's crazy to think about how much German brain power was lost in the world wars.
Nürnberg was one of the biggest cities in Germany in medieval times somewhere top three or top five, and it was the first city that had a railroad.
Btw. Jacksonville is the 12th largest City in the USA. That was really close.

Nürnbergs history is very interesting. The medival aspects and albrecht Dürer, but also it's dark past during the 3rd Reich. The architecture makes you feel the absurd ideas and idiology of the Nazis. Away from individuality to the fanatical belief that everything must be made the same, whereby the architecture should suggest that one is alone only very small and powerful in the mass.
Wow, Nick, that was perfectly edited, what a great job !
My hometown ❤️! It's so nice to see you guys walking around all those familiar places. I hope you had a good time 😊!
Making a print at the Albrecht Dürer Haus - left a good impression on me
What a cool video you made of my home town, thank you so much for sharing your impressions. Hopefully you can come back whenever the Christkindlmarkt can reopen, that's the best time of the year.
Interesting (maybe) facts about Nuremberg:
Nuremberg was an Free Imperial City within the Holy Roman Empire (meaning it was not subordinated to any sovereign but the Emperor himself and its own state within the Empire), but also seat of an Imperial castle / emperor's palace, which was managed by the Burgraves (and counts palatines) of Nuremberg, a position held by the younger line of the Hohenzollern since 1190. This line won also the Margraviate of Brandenburg as Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg was forced to give it off in 1398 (he controlled all other regions at the eastern frontier already including the the kingdom of Bohemia, and had become also king of Hungary and Croatia, so the nobles of the Empire feared he became to powerful). They inherited in the 17th century the Polish dukedom of Prussia, which became independent due to the Nordish war between Sweden and Poland.
The Nazis never won a free election in Nuremberg. In the 1920s Nuremberg was governed by the liberal DDP together with the socialdemocratic SPD. But one of chief ideologist of the Nazi party, Julius Streicher, elementary school teacher and publisher of agitatory newspaper "Der Stürmer", was there at home, and so the Nazis chose the city (which was positioned in the very center of Germany at the time) to be the site of their conventions.
Thanks for this background lesson on this historic city.
Very important infos, thank you. A few things you could add:
There were other reasons why they chose Nürnberg. In the late middle ages the city was extremly powerfull and wealthy, until the 30 years war it stored the imperial treasury and many important imperial diets were held there (I think for a time every new emperor was required to hold his first diet in Nürnberg but I am not completely sure). Finaly the diet got a permanent place in Regensburg but Nürnberg had made its mark.
The Nazis tried to stress continouity with the „first reich“ (which was the HRE) and making the city of the imperial diets the city of their imperial party diets was part of that, after the Anschluss they even brought the imperial treasury back from Vienna for a few years.
In addition: Nürnbergs historic core was very well preserved until its destruction in WW2, it must have been a beautiful city, so the Nazis chose it to promote it as the „imperial treasure chest“
Nuernberg is the most German of all cities in Germany and A.H. made it his favourite one. Munich, Berlin and Linz were also amongst his favoured cities.
Great job! 🙂
I enjoy that you always give background information on our German history. - Thank you! ❤️
As an American living in Nuremberg, completely understand what you're saying about the history here. Glad to see you made it here for more than 45 minutes :)
Thanks for making me miss my home town 😘 I really loved how sensitively you mixed historical and to-date views of the city. Great job!
I was in Schwäbisch Hall 2 years ago and met Dennis and you guys there in June. I actually come from Nürnberg and still live here but I make sure to pay a visit again to Schwäbisch Hall :) Kolb has amazing Nutella Grapfen Brezen you should have tried those :) I hope you had a great time.
One of your best posts yet!… Thank you Nalf… Keep up the creative efforts. Lot of time and thought is apparent.
Visit Cologne, 98% of the town was destroyed in 1945, and there was no "Reichsparteitag", just in the reach of RAF for several years. My mother was lucky, she left the city days before the house she lived in was bombed. She then lived in the countryside, where she survived an attack by a fighter plane that was hunting civilians in the field because he found no soldiers. No, she was no nazi, she was 14 at the end of WWII.
Yes, the beer shop guy did a good job. Schanzenbräu Rotbier is really a special treat. 👍 Kolb's Brezen used to be the best (crispy and tasty) but they changed their recipe a few years back and they are always chewy now. Not the best anymore. I recommend the Sansibar Breze from "Der Beck" next time. It has pepper (hence Sansibar) and salt on it and tastes as good as the Kolb's used to back in the day.
Driving past the Nazi buildings every day and not really recognizing them anymore, your video was a good reminder to go and visit the Dokuzentrum again. They did some renovations there during Covid, so time to go once again. And you really should visit "Saal 600" next time where the Nazi trials took place. It's only a few stops from the centre with the subway and worth the tour. Well, I guess my comment is automatically deleted because of the link of the Saal 600 museum I inserted. So I am removing it. Look up "Saal 600" or "Memorium Nuremberg Trials" to find it.
Maybe that's a stupid question( I could google it), but really, I can't think of a reason, at least on the spot. Why does CZcams delete comments that contain a link?
@@marleneaurora2000 Not a stupid question at all. 🙂 I guess it's to prevent spamming from adult sites etc. They are a problem at Instagram for example. YT tries to become much more family friendly recently (to the displeasure of many creators because yt is getting more and more restrictive with the content). CZcams links are o.k. though and some comment sections allow other links. Maybe NALF can set it up individually. I never uploaded videos to yt but I know that creators can block certain words in the comment section (political, sexual...) etc. so probably the same with external links.
Nuremberg was one of hubs of trade, commerce and industries in medieval times and later. Mechanical wonders of that age were often from there: artificial limbs for those who could afford them, the first pocket watch, wheellock mechanisms for arms ( it would go too far to write about that here), suits of armour, swords.... Those arms were often decorated with engravings and etchings and that gave birth to lots of graphical arts, as those artisans printed those decorative patterns on paper for advertising. Later Nuremberg attracted machine building firms as well (think of MAN).
You might say that Nuremberg was THE German city par excellence and no wonder the "Germanisches Museum" was settled there.
In the Holy Roman Empire ( up to the Napoleonic era) Nuremberg played an important role in the process of electing and nominating the German King ( who was then made Emperor by the Pope).
That symbolic value was exploited by the nazis and despite the fact that Munich had been the birthplace of the nazi-movement and Berlin was the capital of Germany, the nazis held their bombastic party conventions and rallies there.
Nuremberg is also one of the cities where every few weeks/ months an old bomb gets discovered and has to be defused. Another thing you find when digging on Nuremberg grounds is really old archeological and historical stuff, so every building company gets really annoyed when they have to dig in the ground. I mean you either find a bomb or historical remains you have to preserve
I love your videos bro. Also love the fact that you always tell something about the history of the places you visit. Keep up the amazing work.
Greetings from Oregon 😄 You're content and video have really evolved over time ! Enjoy watching them more and more ! Keep up the great work , stay safe , and drink Dutch Bros coffee , taste's much better than Starbucks !!! Lol 😆 Go Unicorns !!! Sea chicken fan here in the states !!!
Finally a video about my hometown.
i´m always curious about how other people see "my town".
5 minutes in, you already walked by my first own flat and almost one of my previous jobs :D
Edit: We have a KOLB Brezel-drive in In nuremberg.
without corona those places would be packed. i was in nürnberg a few years ago 10 times more people around. Its sad to see how "empty" the markets are in these times. :-(
Well done video mien Jung (especially with the overlays from WW2).👍
OMG - drops a beer and gets himself a starbucks coffee instead. Lots of room for improvements.
Ein zerbrochenes Bier - da weint das deutsche Herz!
Really nice to see, I live there for like 12 years now, moved from a smaller city also in Franconia. Could have mentioned the city wall, Iirc Nürnberg is the only big European city that still has basically all of its city wall, with just a few break throughs for roads. Some of it is pretty impressive.
Also that place from the party rallys... it is really nice there, there is a lot of green around, few lakes (that were actually to be the base for some stupid big stadium). Also the place where you stood, that tribune... man the times I sat there with a friend, having a nice beer. It is really cool, the stones keeps so much heat from the sun, we often sat there in a late summer night that already got a bit cold but on there it was still kinda warm. There was very few people, just some car guys meeting every weekend close to it, you could really enjoy the silence (at least untill someone of the car people had a really loud car). Man, I miss these times, life got a lot more serious after finishing university and all...
I was there 2 weeks ago. it wasn't that christmassy yet, but still beautiful and very lively.
Thanks for your impressions (personable and interesting as always) 🤗
Nuremberg will forver be my Christmas-City. In december, it's peak German christmas-iness for me. 👌🎄🎁
I drank Starbucks coffee only once. Since then I have preferred to go to a café or a bakery or even to Tchibo. Otherwise a great video! Congratulations!
I would say Starbucks is not bad, expensive yes but I like the Caramel Macchiato with extra Caramel Drizzle … I also like also the coffee from McDonalds …
@@wolfgangselle3272 I can not agree with that. But if you like coffee from McDonalds ...
Beautiful town and architecture. A very medieval town. Glad you enjoyed a little dark beer and enjoyed a nice night approaching the holidays.
With the damp air kinda mysterious atmoshere. November, like it or not. Looking forward to some Glühwein in town soon!
Yes. Da hast du die Stimmung voll beschrieben. Die geheimnisvollkeit und das Wetter geben einen schönen Charme. Dadurch schmeckt das Getränk und alles umso spezieller. Und Prost dazu! 🍺 (Wir können uns doch nicht in die Augen anschauen, haha.)
@@LiebeNachDland 😉
Had to laugh when you were fighting against going into that Starbucks because I knew there's another one super close to that one 😆
As an american living in Nürnberg I also had those same overwhelming feeling at Zeppelinfeld the first time I was there.
Love ❤ Nuernberg. You ought to try a German Cafe and experience the German coffee culture.. i don't know if the lovely Cafes still exist but at one time they were fabulous. I did see Tchibo though. Thank you for a great video and stay safe 👍❤
Great video. I love the Starbucks bit 😂
I also really appreciate that you like to learn about Nazi germany. It’s such an important issue to learn about and to keep remembering. If you are in Berlin I recommend to visit one of the museums that deal with that (e.g. Topographie des Terrors, Haus der Wannseekonferenz).
Greetings from Berlin
Hola Nalf, soy española, vivo en Sevilla, y no me preguntes porqué pero me he enganchado a tus videos, tienes una mente abierta, dispuesto a aprender y disfrutar de todo lo que Europa puede ofrecerte, además me divierto mucho contigo!!!!! He hecho el comentario en español para que lo practiques, para cuando vengas de vacaciones, jejeje
NIce to see you in my hometown. I have a Kolb (it's just the name of the bakery) Breze every few days for breakfast at the office. And SB? Why? There are so many Cafes in the city. Next time you visit Nürnberg, try to visit the Kunstbunker, the Toy Museum or the Felsengänge beneath the castle. OH... and you can also visti Saal 600, its a memorial now. It's the hall where the trials took place.
One thing that really makes me think is that Germany has over 3000 years of history including the Roman empire in Germania Magna, and the world has become fixated on the measly 12 years of National Socialism.
It isn't a trip without someone not having proper ID.
Great video!
I lived in Nuremberg for 4 years and this made me a little homesick.
Many nice memories.
And I used to grab a Brezel almost every day while I changed from subway to tram or from tram to bus on my way to university.
Seeing the sign immediately brought back the taste.
Nuremburg in 1980 what struck me most was yes, all rebuilt in an old architechtural style but all so obviously new, so, a bit like visiting Disneyland. I caught a bad cold there and laid up in a youth hostel bunk bed it was the only place in a four month five country backpacking trip where I had my bag rifled through and stuff stolen, apart from a drying shirt in Venice. I've always thought that was maybe a metaphor, I definitely got a bad vibe there and moved on to Munich as soon as I felt better and then Muhltal (missing umlaut) up above Innsbruck in the Austrian Tyrol, now that place was stunningly beautiful. Never did find the Parade Grounds in Nuremburg though.
Sorry that you were ill during your stay and thus could not enjoy Nuernberg to the fullest. Hope you make another visit
to this great city.
The Reichsparteitagsgelaende is away from the inner city. It is a huge area in the southeast of the city center, past the former SS-Kaserne.
The American occupiers called this "Kaserne" between 1946 and 1993 "Merrill Barracks". GIs lived in there. Today, it is an immigration center of sorts.
Anyway, you have to drive past this place and eventually will arrive at the Dutzendteich area where you see the Congress Halle (it looks like the
Colosseum in Rome. Go a bit further and you see the area where the big marches took place in the 1930 and part of the 1940s. It is to this day
a most impressive area, an aura of eternity grips you, every step breathes history, ancient history.
There also were marches on the Hauptmarkt where the Golden Fountain is. In the 30s it was called Adolf-Hitler-Platz. In the late 40s, it was renamed yet again.
For a second i thought you would enter the Nordseeshop and get a Fischbrötchen. Releaved that it was only the Starbucks Coffee.
Well deserved after the beer drama.
Jokes aside i am really happy to see John without crutches.
I'm so happy to see John able to move about easily now.
Fischbrötchen are preferential to Starsucks 'coffee'.
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 Anything is preferable to coffee of any kind.
I have moved to Nuremberg last year and it is a special city. The history is present everywhere but also the power to move on and build something better. I appreciate that they kept some Nazi buildings as a reminder that something like the 3rd Reich can never happen again. And is in on all of us to make sure, it stays like that
Also it gives me a weird feeling of hope to see people with all backgrounds, ethnicities, religions and identities walk on these grounds and have fun.
Hey Nalf,
very fun and interesting to watch, even for me as a german. Your storytelling is great and fun, more then many things coming up on stupid german tv.
thank you for uplading those unique clips of yours with its original content, that dont seem to polarize just for the clicks on youtube.
Everytime I watch a video about an American living in Germany I always get the feeling I should travel more in my home country. After some NALF videos I feel like he saw more of Germany in his few years than i did in my whole life.
Nice one, like every time!
I´ve lived in the white bulding at 11:49. The bottom right window was mine.... Good old times, thanks for the nostalgic moment :)
You need to investigate the various cellar-pubs in Nuremberg, but also Fürth and Bamberg (where you should try their Rauchbier)!
Pro Tip for stale or little dry Brezeln.
Pour tap water over them, soak them entirely once for 2 seconds.
Then immediately put them in an oven pre-heated at 220°C for 2 or 3 minutes.
They will go back to freshly baked-almost.
This is tastefully balanced between history and experiencing Nürnberg today, informative for those who do not know. Thank you for sharing
Hi Nalf. Nuremberg is one of my favourites in Europe. Beautiful. There is a town not far called Bamberg which is stunning too. Nuremberg reminds me very much of krakow in Poland which is also a beautiful city
This is very well done. Thoughtful and interesting presentation. I visited Nuremberg many years ago a beautiful city.
Great video! Thank you. I was born and raised in Nuernberg. My ex-husband was stationed there. My 87 year old mom and lots of other family still live there so I go "home" frequently. I now live in Florida (where my ex-husband was from)
What was I thinking?? Haha!
München is surprisingly cute name for a city especially considering the language.
Zeppelinfeld - uh, Rock im Park! I like that we can reuse some sights for something nice
Hope you had time to visit the stone cellars under the City. Originally for brewing beer but in WW2 were used in the bombings as shelters for inhabitants and storing artworks. Really interesting.
I don't think I could stand in _that_ spot at the Zeppelinfeld. Just the thought fills me with revulsion.
Love the music you chose!!
Interesting Nürnberg fact. Considering the destruction during WWII it’s is actually surprising how few civilians died during the bombings. This is thanks to the intricate and deep cellar and underground passage system which was mostly build during the Middle Ages. Because almost every house had deep cellars, sometimes even with multiple levels, civilians were able to take shelter.
Originally these cellars were used to store beer while it finished fermenting. Every brewery had to have a cellar to guarantee the quality and safety of their Beer. There was/ is also an intricate set of underground passages, some which were only there as water collection systems others were used to connect the cellars and give breweries with more space.
Should you ever find yourself in Nürnberg you should consider booking a cellar tour. It’s really interesting and you can learn a lot about beer culture and the city itself.
Goes to Nuremberg... goes to Starbucks. *sigh*
It's the spell of the female god. Like the Sirene on the Rhine.
Your broken bottle immediately reminded me of the Kristallnacht-discusion lately. Lovely content as always!
Eerie association, but you're right!
@@mojojim6458 that's me. My brain never sleeps.
Nalf, you‘re just a good movie maker and director. Art wise, your CZcams videos have developed way beyond the standard postings. Keep up!
You could have stayed in the youth hostel ... in the castle (well, almost - it's in the historic stable building next to it). And they have a bar next to the reception (I don't know the Covid protocols there, though).
I knew you'd be pulled into a Starbucks eventually. That Pacific Northwest upbringing won't be denied! ☕️😄
Eines deiner besten Videos bisher!
Vielen Dank !
A lot of english-speaking people confuse Nürnberg with Nürburg.
The former has a tiny street circuit called Norisring, the latter is home to the infamous Nordschleife which is almost 10 times longer.
Great that you took my advice seriously and went to nürnberg. The thing with the population is that nürnberg is more or less one big area. Nürnberg, fürth and Erlangen. Which is >1 Mio people. The area is the headquarters for industry automation global ly.
But also: czcams.com/video/Z4Ic1mzzAiI/video.html
Hey Nick! Next time you walk past a Starbucks just remember that is just a cup of overpriced, black coloured water.
Sigh ©️
idk if someone else said it.. but the English spelling is the original.
People from there pronounced it more like "Nürnberg" in their dialect so it was changed at one point.
Cologne is also actually more original, It is a Roman Name: Colognia .
Köln is the muble-fication of Cologne.
do you know that the Nürnberg Rams are playing on the field in the Zeppelin field? you got their field on your film .
you get abetter coffee nearly everywhere and cheaper. then at Starbucks.
Hey Nalf, I live just an hour up north from Nürnberg, in Coburg.
Actually red beers comes in many varieties, bottom fermented and top fermented. What they do have in common though is that they contain slightly roasted malts, which provide a darker colour and a caramel like taste, or just a hint of it, depending on the beer type. Sometimes the colour is enriched with other ingredients.
Used to play against the Nürnberg Rams in my junior years at the Zeppelinfeld. It was always really weird playing football there
Glad to see that John is up and about. I was wondering how he was doing. So, for him, too,...TSGO. Good news.
These videos are amazing man. Also really appreciate your choice of music!
So... Glühwein is actually a "modern" or rather leftover version of simple spiced wine which people started drinking back in the days, because, well all they had was mostly water, beer, milk, mead and wine and they got bored eventually. So they started spicing up things/wine with what they had. Mostly and mainly cinnamon, anise, juniper berries, pepper and honey. But they had to warm it up to melt the honey and blend in the spices easier. Also, those were spices closely resembling tastes and smells in christmas times AND the wine was warm, so since nobody wanted to drink something that constantly reminded them of christmas AND warm stuff in summer AND it really doesn't taste good when cold, they decided to save it for the winters.
Those pretzels weren't special because of the product itself but because the manufacturer has been around for ages and Germans tend to consider the most traditional the best. And you have to admit, if something is able to stay around for the longest, it might also be the best, right? Well, wrong. Obviously ^^
What's so special about pretzels? Generally nothing, they're still plain wheat-dough porducts. BUT their coating is a certain kind of lye and gives it a hint of special taste, compared with products without a lye-coating. It's not necessarily dominant, though, so nothing too crazy about it. The white stuff is either flour (for whatever reason) or more reasonably powdered salt (for taste). Depending on the region (Bavarians and Swabians are actually still fighting over who invented them) you might find versions with actually hard knots and arms, very soft ones (almost like American pretzels) and normal, powdered or grainy salt. The crust should have been crunchy and the dough soft, though, so maybe you really did just get a bad (or maybe just old) one. Better luck next time! Try to get your hands on one fresh from the oven and you'll be very happy ;) One thing, though: unlike in America, no matter what (big) Pretzel you get your hands on, you never EVER eat it with mustard...
Apart form the culinary: I'm sure you already know, but when you want to experience AGES old German history, like pre medieval times, don't necessarily go to cities. They're just too young. You may want to go to the countrysides (Schwäbisch Hall and its surroundings are actually very rich in history!) or choose your destinations based on their age: the older they are, the more they have to tell.
Keep up exploring, I'm really happy to see you diving into German history and culture and enjoying it and enjoy myself following you on your adventures!
Nuremberg was sort of the Silicon Valley of the middle-ages. It was a city in their own rights in a quite early stage and the craftsmanship gilds soon developed unique and high quality tools and technologies.
Where’s Laura?
A weekend away with the boys instead of spending it with Laura!?
Especially when you’re probably going home to Portland very soon for Christmas and not returning to Germany until next spring when the football season begins again - bad boyfriend!
We miss Laura, your better half and she should now be in every NALF video!
great video about my hometown. Thank you for your channel
Very good film. Good filming and editing. Thank you!
You ahould also visit Bamberg, Bayreuth,Fürth, Würzburg Regensburg...
Frankonia /Bavaria has some interesting not too large cities some of them even dating back to Roman times
you forgot my hometown of schweinfurt. might be of interest because of the many americans who were stationed in my hometown.
watched a few videos so far.
if you are ever up north (Hamburg mainly) you have to try Franzbrötchen, its basically a cinnamon roll but its not overbearing and really good
Never saw such an epic air refresh on someones tires
you also did a thumbnail like in Triumph des Willens by Riefenstahl...
very fitting
Just because you are interested in history.
If the name of a German city (or village) ends with -burg or -berg, the probability that there once was (or still is) a castle is very high.
-berg indicates a mountain or a hill.
I made at least two day-trips to Nurnberg (sorry I couldn’t find the umlaut, and AutoCorrect didn’t add it), while visiting Munich. Mostly to visit Frauentormauer. When that wore me out, I did see the main plazas, the kebab shops, and also relented and saw the parade grounds.
What a cut at the end...Nalf passing by a Tchibo coffee shop - cut - Nalf holding in his hands a Starbucks coffee....that´s a very subtile insult. ;-D
You noticed that, too. LOL There are always little nuggets hidden in his videos.
@@mojojim6458 Hi Jim...Sorry for my late response..but it is nice to hear from you after some time..
@@michaelgrabner8977 Nice seeing you again, too.
Always great how much i can learn from you about my own county! Thanks :-)
Drinking beer on every occasion and at any place that NALF visits? Give him the German Citizenship finally.
Keep your eyes peeled for when they open the bunker underneath the central train station for tours. It’s stunning. As well as the lochgefängnis and felsengänge at the bottom of the castle. They are open almost all year around.
Edit: German bread isn’t hard. It has a crust. Not like the sweet sponge that sticks to the gum called American Bread ;-D
