Not only the printing of books (Johannes Gutenberg) was invented in Germany. Also the automobile (Carl Benz), the computer (Konrad Zuse), the telephone (Johann Philipp Reis) and the light bulb (Heinrich Goebel).
But the american people think that all this stuff was invented by americans.
ja das stimmt und noch raketenmotor (braun) und tarnfarbe bzw Technik
und mp3
Dont forget the comunism. :)
The comunism was invented by the Russians ;-) Still some people in east Germany will maintaining the tradition. But when you see the Russians driving, it seems that they have invented the anarchism.
Sebastian Namyslik
No he was invented by Karl Marx and he was a german.
schon lustig was die anderen so von uns denken. :D
Valentin Müller hahah
Valentin Müller iwie schon :D
Ich wusste nich das berlin so groß ist
Cedi Roos was
Echt so😂Die Fakten gehen ja noch aber wenn die sich z.B von apored Songs anhören muss ich so oft lachen😲😂
The german flag in the background is upside down
Hey, you're right! xD
+Carolin B. wtf xD
Das zählt doch als Entwürdigung, genau so schlimm als würde man sie verbrennen oder drauf spucken.
+TheWolfavanger so kann many auch sehen :D ich glaube, die Absichten hatte sie aber nicht. vielleicht weiß sie es nicht besser
+TheWolfavanger Im Originalen als unsere Flagge das erste mal 1848 auftratt war sie exakt so wie hier: gold-rot-schwarz. Ich denke aber mal, dass der CZcamsr hier dara nicht gedacht hat (erst Recht, weil er Ami ist). ^^
German is official language of SIX countries, Gemany, Switzerland, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxemburg and BELGIUM.
+Sthursen and polish schlesian pommerania and Konigsberg region...oh right
I thought it was an official language of namibia as well
Not of Belguim. It's like in France and Italy, where Germen is only spoken in Alsace-Lorraine or in South Tyrol: In Belguim people only speak german in Eupen-Malmedy.
+Lars Frieser it is still recognised ad an official language, even if only about 1% of the population speaks it.
+Lars Frieser German is one of three official languages of Belgium along with dutch and french, even though only spoken by 1% of population. I read it on wikipedia.
about germany: very handsome goalkeeper Manuel Neuer
+ich liebe bochum This goalkeeper goes me really on the nerves xD (Ja, das gehört so :'D)
My friend is literally crazy about him! xD
Vielleicht ist er nicht Manuel Neuer,sondern Manuel neuer (((:

I am proud of my country, anyone else German here? :)

Yes, and Hamburg has more bridges then Venice, Berlin and Amsterdam combined.
Berlin has about 900 brides, Hamburg has about 2500 bridges
+LuriTV becuz Berlin was built in fens. "Berl" is slavic for fen.
+Starkicker On the official homepage of Hamburg they say Hamburg has 2500 bridges.
Alles klar ersten es stimmt nicht alles was ihr über Hamburg satt und dieser Homepage es kann auch mal lügen
Ach nee, als gebürtiger Hamburger kenne ich Hamburg schon ganz gut. Und warum sollte auf der Homepage Unsinn stehen? Was sagen wir denn über Hamburg (ausser der Anzahl von Brücken) was nicht stimmt?
1. Ich bin auch gebürtige Hamburgerin
2. Ich meine damit mit den Brücken das es net ganz stimmt es sollen ja 1 oder 2 mehr Brücken gebaut werden und es sollen auch ein paar abgebaut werden
Another important fact which barely anyone knows : The MP3 format was invented by the Frauenhofer Institute of Technology in Germany. Until then, digital sound recordings were full of sound wavelenghts unhearable to the human ear. Such wavelengths are produced by all musical instruments but we can only hear a tiny fraction of them anyway.
All those redundant informations made the music files gigantic (several hundred megabytes for a single song of just around 5 minutes of length)
By developing an algorythm which was used to erase all those unhearable wavelengths, the file size was immensely reduced while everything you can actually really hear, was fully retained.
This ultimately enabled billions of people today to store all their favourite music in relatively small space and carry them around on portable devices like smartphones, ipods etc. :-)
+Celeon999A The WAV format that existed before is still used on audio discs allowing to store around 70 minutes on 700mb. Also interesting, the Fraunhofer Institute of Technology never set up any patent, thus the MP3 was given away for free, they got nothing out of it. It was not planed, the compress and play software (prototype) was leaked to the public, so the MP3 format became public before any patent could be set up.
+Celeon999A *Fraunhofer
+modi X I think that the Fraunhofer institute has some kind of patent on it since a large part of its research money comes from the mp3 format.
I thought y'all mfs made mp38 instead
Im from Korea.
and i love Germany soooooo MUCH!
For what? :D
I’m from Germany and i love Korea so much!!

The Autobahn has speed limits, there are only sections where you can drive without limit.
+Coke Cat Yes i know but there are no general speed limits!
+AroundTheWorld
On my way to work (about 60 km) you will only find about 10% without limit. Most common is 120 km/h
We don't have the general limit but most routes have their specific speed limit dependent on the envirement.
+Life Effects In my area we have about 80% without speed limit, it depends on where you live. near the big cities like ruhrgebiet i.e. there are much limits, but when you live a bit outside of the crowded areas there are mostly no limits.
The key word is "general" speed limit!
+Coke Cat But no general speedlimit like in the netherlands..were 120 km/h is the max. you schould drive
The Computer was also invented in Germany by Konrad Zuse! Just because he was to lazy to do math:D
Wie einfach unter jedem Video, das etwas mit Deutschland zu tun hat, die Diskussion aufkommt, ob alle Deutschen Nazis sind, nur weil sie teilweise stolz auf ihr Heimatland sind.
Das finde ich auch richtig blöd!
Ich meine, wenn ein Amerikaner sagt, er sei stolz auf sein Land, wird er gleich als ein "Patriot" bezeichnet, aber sobald ein Deutscher stolz auf sein Land ist, wird er gleich als Nazi abgestempelt... was soll denn sowas?!
Uhh jetzt kommt wieder der unterschwellige Rechte Ton.
NexoFX ISKU Wieso?
***** "Nur weil man stolz auf sein Land ist, ist man direkt ein Nazi, was?"
So in etwa geht es doch immer, dabei ist man kein Nazi wenn man stolz auf sein Land ist, aber alle beschweren sich immer, dass man als solcher abgestempelt wird, auch wenn es nicht so ist.
Ob es dir gefällt oder nicht eine Große Anzahl von euch sind Nazis und Ausländerfeindlich eingestellt.
german is one of the three oficiall languanges of belgium!!
Lol nah

Germany is cool... and during the weekends is AMAZING
I love Germany 🇩🇪 from Japan 🇯🇵
I love japan 🇯🇵 from germany 🇩🇪
ich liebe japan! from germany
Wait, thats illegal
Makes sense as JAPAN was in support of Germany during WWII
I don’t agree I hate wars
I hate the oppinion of those people that germany still is "nazi germany". Only because of some douches that still think racism is good (the nazis) people think that germany is bad. I hate it when people call all germans nazis because they are german, but i still know that our country did terrible things. But we cant force that now, we cant let everything be unhappened. I just think that all those prejudices are nonsense.
👍
My family is French Canadian and German American, and I remember a story my grand-mère told me about how her and her papa had been kicked out of 3 towns due to being German immigrants (my maman is French Canadian and my dad is German America. It's sad to hear insults to both countries.
We have 731 different kinds of Bread .

Krass, dass so viele Länder Deutsch sprechen :D Finde Ich Nice.
Belgien fehlt noch im Video
The Cologne Cathedral took that long, because there was a break of several hundred years in construction work.

sigsauer is belgian I think

The first fact explains my unconditional love for bread, as I am part-German
The mentioned bread-museum is located in the south-central city of Ulm, known also for its cathedral ("Ulmer Münster") with the tallest church-tower of the world.
Love it!
The fact about our Autobahn is not wrong, but also not right.
Mostly there are Speedlimits. But we have some areas without Speedlimits.

Gutenberg did NOT invent the printing press, the chinese did that. He invented the printing press with movable letters.
Petra Meyer Korea has that didn’t they, he just made the first one in Europe
Oh go on! Say 'Bavaria' again the way you do! That was hilarious! I've never ever heard anyone else say it like that....ever!

Preusen wird uns gehören !!!
+Hans Peter Nein Ronny
+dldwkaan
hahaha die bösen franzosen habens uns geklaut... xD
aber is doch egal haha
+Lilli Goll Man sollte halt nicht vergessen, dass Elsass-Lothringen ursprünglich schon immer französisch war und nur zwei mal in der Geschichte von Deutschland in Besitz genomen wurde und wieder zu Frankreich wechselte (zur Zeit des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Deutscher Nation bis 1806 und später Deutschen Kaiserreichs bis 1918). Ansonsten hat dieses Gebiet schon immer zu Frankreich gehört ...
+Daniel Müller
geht klar :)
German is also spoken in the area around Eupen in Belgium.
why is the flag in the backround upside down? o.O
Very nice. Subbed. When does the next vid come out? And next time plox 10 facts about Slovenia or Armenia!
Very Nice!

***** Man muss ja auf Fehler aufmerksam machen :D
+Riordian ich bin Spanier, lebe in Deutschland und finde das sehr Unaufmerksam! :D
Germany is the best country in the world. I love my country 🖤❤️💛
The Cologne Cathedral is neither done yet, nor will it ever be. As soon as one part is completely built, another needs maintenence. Whenever there is something that will most likely never be finished, a Cologne person would say "Before that happens, the Cologne Cathedral will be done." :D
Correction: The earliest known form of woodblock printing came from China dating to before 220 A.D. Johannes Gutenberg introduced *mechanical movable* type printing.
Further correction, the first porcelain movable type was invented about 1040 in China, and the first metal movable type in Korea in 1377
So now we know whom we have to thank for that delicious beverage known as Fanta.
And gummy bears
Which they didn’t add
I really want to move to Germany. I need to have the following thing and if anyone can tell me something it would be great!
•Catholicism
•Roman Catholic church
•A safe city
• Decent Public Transport
• German school (to learn German better)
• Good education!
That’s it!!
Danke 🇩🇪
Hi, I'm a little bit late, but here's some stuff from a German himself :)
-Germany is almost everywhere Catholic, especially in Bavaria
-The cities are normally very safe, we don't have much problems with thieves and robbers
-German schools: I don't kniw exactly, but there are a few and you cann book courses to learn it better
-The education in Germany is very good
Hope this stuff still helps and I hope you move to Germany! :)
Thanks for video
Fitting that this video popped up on my recommendations on May 8th
Wir haben's halt drauf:D I'm from Germany,and the facts Are very cool :D

German is also spoken in parts of Belgium.
Germany is larger than Norway and German is also spoken in Belgium

It's a little bit weird... I'm from Germany and I didn't know most of this stuff 😳😂😂😂
german is also spoken in the eastern part of belgium

forgot Namibia there also german is an official language
Still the Ulmer Münster has the highest churchtower with 161,53m (about 530 feet) - which is also the highest in the world - while the Kölner Dom is "only" 157,38m high (about 516 feet). Some say they build the top of the Münster steeper as planned and put a bigger cross on the top only to get higher than the Kölner Dom.
The Regensburger Kathedral isn't even finished yet. They started to build it 1273...
Rockadyle looks finished to me, what is missing?
I Love Bread xD
Germany is the only country in the world without speedlimits on their highways
+OriginStudios That's wrong.
+OriginStudios/KenobiProductions There are speedlimits (~120 km/h) on most of the highways, but there are parts without. This means no generic speed limit that is the absolute top.
Orginstudios it is seriously wrong 😐😐😐😐🤔😐😐 mot being rude. Sorryyyyyyyyy
1. The Autobahn actually has a speed limit mostly
2. Here in Bavaria we dont think beer is a food
Well, highways here sometimes have speed limits like about 80 mph, but only near cities etc. , but not in general
hmm i love germany
German Highways have a speed limit!
+Haildu der Druide There are no general ones. It is perfectly legal to not have one.
+Jukka K There are speedlimits. In a few parts there are no speedlimits. But not everywhere. I know it because im from germany
Yes but in the video the dude says "No General Speedlimits" he did not say no speed limits at all.
wir haben nur manchmal Geschwindigkeits regeln auf der Autobahn
Nele S auf jeden fall öfters als keine limits
I wish you added the fact that we Germans really love historical houses. One of my friends lives in a house that has existed since 1902.
But everything else is true. I love this video.❤ No lies detected here
Its also spoken in the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark!
Actually German is an official language in Belgium too :)
I hate bread. I'm German. Am I sick? :o
+MsMusicfan2 Same here! :P
So... nope, unless we're both sick then!
Und warum schreib ich eigentlich auf Englisch? :P Hahah
Haha, gute Frage :D Aber hab dich ja verstanden^^
MsMusicfan2 Heheh dann passts ja ^^
brot ist das normalste was es gibt xD ist als ob man sagen würde, man hasst Wasser :D naja jedem das seine :D
Naja, für mich halt nicht^^
About Gutenberg: He was not a Johannes "van" Gutenberg, but simply Johannes Gutenberg. More important: the first printed book by Gutenberg was of course not a "Lutheran" bible, as Gutenberg printed it in the 1450s and Luther's reformation only started in 1517. Gutenberg printed a Latin bible.
About Gutenberg: He was not Johann "van" Gutenberg, just Johann (or Johannes) Gutenberg. But I really had to laugh about the "Lutheran" Bible being the first printed book. Gutenberg printed his Bible around 1450. It was in Latin! Martin Luther started the Reformation only in 1517, and the first complete Lutheran Bible, that is a translation of the Bible into German by Luther (and a team of scholars in Wittenberg), appeared in 1534 ...
However, this mixing up of the invention of the printing press and the Reformation is in a way understandable. The Reformation was the time, when printed books and pamphlets for the first time really made an impact on historical events and speeded things up in a way that would have been impossible without the invention of printing.
Sehr gut beobachtet! ;)
Please stop calling it the Nazi regime, use a respectfull name to desribe their country, I am tired of the criticizing, of the German people..
During the nazi regime. It was a nazi regime. People should talk and not forget it. You idiot with you "respectfulness". Germans at least took responsability for it, unlike monstruous communists. American snowflake.
Thank you.
this is alright, and interesting, but seems a bit generic
like... some people will think that Gutenberg was the guy in the video. Provide dates! xx
#5. The first printed book was a Latin language Catholic Bible printed in 1455, sixty two years before Lutheranism existed. Gutenberg was himself a Catholic from Mainz.
First printed book via movable type was in 1040 China and first metal movable type in 1377 Korea
there are speedlimits on the Autobahn... only sometimes you can drive as fast as you want
The first Book printed by the Gutenberg-System was a Latin Bible. Luther translated the Bible into German around 30 years after Gutenbergs invention.
We germans have also a (kinderwagen) museum.
I'm from INDIA .. curious to know about German 🥰🥰
there actually are speed limits on the autobahn, just for some parts is there none, but usually it is around 120km/h
+Benjamin Oeding Listen properly and you will hear that he said "no *general* speedlimits". ;)
Another fact about the Adidas-Puma thing: PUMA actually stands for "Probier Unbedingt Mal Adidas" what means "You need to try Adidas". They tell you that when you work at headquater of either Adidas or Puma :D
1:48 German ist also official language in Belgium.
Hamburg has more bridges than Berlin!
und mein arsch hat mehr haare als du gehirnzellen
+Hans Peter Dann nutze dein Arsch für anständige Deutsche Sätze.
djvnsdjkvnsfjsrhbgdh is gramatikalisch korrekt aber ok.
+Hans Peter schon mal was von Zeichensetzung und Groß-/Kleinschreibung gehört? ?
+Hans Peter ich versuche es immerhin...mein Ding ;)...Ach und warum soll dein Arsch eigentlich mehr Arschhaare haben als ich Gehirnzellen?
This video is right about every fact mentioned. But as a german I am a little bit confused about the selection as it mostly does not nearly represents we really care about. The funniest thing for me was that bread seems to be somerhing special. Drinking beer is more obvious. Yes, the autobahn is very special to Germany but we have a problem to maintain such a dense infrastructure. Furthermore we currently also think about speed limits. But not because of accidents. It is about ecology. The most important things for us are work, quality cars and individualism. I think the selection is distortes the reality a little bit. I only want to mention that.
Does anyone know where is the bread museum?
Cool
Since I'm from Germany, it is pretty funny for me to see video from people who talk about things in Germany and are all shocked and stuff and I'm just like : UHHHH, isn't that normal ?
XD
