- Culture shocks are real. I have decided to share my experiences of life in Germany as a Brit, as well as the beautiful places I am lucky enough to visit.
My meditative videos show a calming and artistic view of the places I visit and the quiet, peaceful wanders I take through them. Medieval villages, picturesque cottages, beautiful cities. Relax and escape with me from the busy bustling world to my dreamy and serene slow living way of seeing my surroundings. Experience the magic of peering into the past and being in a fairytale, just for a little while.

I found it easier to say Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft, than Danube Swabian! I hope it wasn´t too waffely today! I shall practice speaking English for my vlogs...
Donauschwabe is harder to pronounce than the other word?
@@B.A.B.G. no… saying it in English is harder, have you watched the video yet? You‘ll see!

Ulm was on my bucket list when I lived in Wiesbaden for 2 years. I never got to go before I had to return to the USA. But thank you for sharing these beautiful views. It’s still on my bucket list so someday I hope to check that item off.
I really hope you do. I really love Ulm. It´s got such a nice atmosphere. Understated, and not touristy, but with everything you need for a nice visit.
Lauren, you are a gift for our country, Nothing could be better, than when a Brit draws a picture on Germany as you do it and hopefully your fellow Britains look on us in another, hopefully a better, light. Great contribution to the British German friendship among the people, independent of history and politics. Hope to see you one day in the Mosel valley in rhineland palatinate.
Thank you so much, Rudolf! What a lovely thing to say! I notice British people who have been to Germany always were surprised and love so much about your wonderful country.
👍!
I have been coming here, every summer, for the last 15 years. I love Ulm. Its my second home
Ah, I feel you! Ulm is simply wonderful!
I just seeing you the first time. You have the most lovely voice Beautiful 🤩 I am German leaving in USA. ❤
Thank you so much, Eleonore! Grüße aus der Heimat 🤗
That's so nice of you for covering my home town - thank you!
I love Ulm so much! Thank you so much for watching!
Ach meine liebe Lauren, ich könnte dir Stundenlang zuhören. Deine Stimme ist so weiblich und sanft wie ein Küken Flaum. Einfach schön wie eine Melodie und etwas ganz Besonderes...seufz...
Ooh! Danke sehr! 🥰
Omg I love Ulm! My husband worked there when we were dating and I went to visit - I thought it was the most charming city, perfect size, and we had such a lovely time we came back engaged! We always want to return, this is reminding me to do it sooner rather than later!
Me, too! I agree, it‘s the perfect size and you can have such a great time there. How lovely that you have such memories- yes, go back, have a romantic trip asap!
I was in the US Army in neu Ulm 1989 til 80 Leiter i came Back been hear til now i am 63 years old
Lovely, isn’t it?
Hi Lauren, it is so nice to visit places with you. You have such an eye for the beauty of a building or ensemble of buildings.
Thank you, Hilli, how lovely!
I grew up in the Neu-Ulm district, so Ulm was the city you went to as a teenager. In my opinion, Ulm is a completely underrated city. You get the old and the new and you get so much art from all sorts of areas.
I completely agree. Ulm is really great, such a nice atmosphere, I take every chance to go there.
Wie immer ein Kunstwert mit Bildern, Musik und Sprache. Diesmal mit einer Speise Empfehlung da läuft mir das Wasser im Mund zusammen. Danke Lauren
Danke sehr, Peter! Diese Cigköfte sind wirklich lecker. Ich habe bisher keine bessere gefunden. Sie sind hausgemacht und mit Liebe, merkt man.
Hallo Lauren, der Klang Deiner Stimme ist sehr warmherzig und schön.
Ich sehe Deine Berichte sehr gerne. LG
Herzlichen Dank! Das freut mich sehr!
I love your reports on Germany!
It is so wonderful to follow your tours and the honest admiration you show to the things you find.

Lovely video , thanks for making
Aw, thank you!
Liebe Lauren, wie immer ein wundervolles Video von Dir!!! Die Tourismusbüros unserer Städte sollten sich wirklich einmal Anregungen von Dir holen, auf welch wundervolle Weise man die vielen großen und kleinen Wunder unserer Städte und Landschaften darstellen kann!! Das ist hohe Kunst und viel Herzblut!!! Noch einmal vielen Dank für die Teilhabe daran, liebe Lauren, ich wünsche Dir viele weitere Abonnenten 👍👍👍💙💙💙 Viele Grüße aus Wilhelmshaven, Michael
Vielen lieben Dank, Michael! Das ist sooo lieb von Dir! Ich mag auch Wilhelmshaven so gern - wie leicht man den Strand entlang laufen kann, z.B. Grüß die Nordsee von mir!
Another thing we have in common. My wife and I love to go camping, but we do not have a camper van. We have a roof-top-tent on top of our Toyota Land Cruiser. We love to camp with our two Boston Terriers (Hund and Segundo) in remote locations that are very prevalent in the west of the USA.
A Land Cruiser - a four-wheel drive, am I right? Isn´t it just the best, sleeping so close to the elements? Last night it was stormy and raining, but quite safe (we just had a hurricane here). It was soooo cosy! Except for the leaking window, of course lol! And how funny, your dog is called Hund! Love it!
Having visited Ulm many years ago, this video just reminded of this wonderful city. Once again Lauren thank you ! More please !
I‘m so pleased you enjoyed it! Ulm is really wonderful, isn’t it?
I enjoyed my visit to Ulm last year. I visited all the places in Ulm that you did in your video. Your video brought back happy memories from my day out. Danke

Lovely video, Lauren. I've lived in Germany for more than 70 years now, and I'm absolutely amazed about the many beautiful places you have discovered, I never knew existed. I like your harmony, your style and your romantic camera views. Watching your videos with the many beautiful sights you filmed provides me with a much needed break in our omnipresent inundation with everyday catastrophies

Omg you played in theater in neu ulm. I remember
Lol! Yes, Burton & Taylor!
Hello Lauren, needless to say, but yet another great and well-narrated video I love to see your doggies in your videos. The town of Ulm is so pretty and just like all of the cities/towns in Germany full of history. Thank You for sharing your Mother In Laws history as well. I love how you were eating your favorite street snack and the bell rang. That happened to me as well when I was eating spaghetti eis as I was filming lol :) Great job Lauren :)
Wasn´t it fun? Oh, I´m hungry now, but it´s nearly 5am... maybe I should go to bed so I can get up soon for breakfast! I was honoured to share the history in this video. Thank you for watching, Darion!
Dad was born in HDH in 1939, grew up in Hohememmingen, 2 KM from Giengen where he went to school. I spend many easter vacations at my Grandma back then in 70 & 80s. Lots of good memories… 😊
Ah, it’s a great part of the world! Understated and beautiful. Do you know the Süditalia Pizzaria in Giengen?
@@LaureninGermany Sorry no, last time I have been there was in the 90s at the funeral of my Oma.
@@1201suddenturn oh I am sorry to bring up a sad memory!
omg i was born and raised there. its the perfect "big little city" ("kleine Großstadt") in my opinion.
you have everything you need like stores and stuff but not so much that you get overwhelmed like in the really big citys. also you have a vibrant nightlife and cultural things and the danube riverbanks are alwys full of people in the summer.
That is exactly how I feel about Ulm! I never feel overwhelmed, just relaxed and happy there.
Such stunning scenery and architecture
And I found more beautiful footage that I had forgotten about! I must include it in another video. An amazing town.
Grew up in Blaustein myself and boy, I didn't really appreciate it's beauty until I moved away. My brother got married in this lovely townhall of Ulm.
Also, if you ever want to visit Ulm again, I'd recommend visiting it on Schwörmontag 2026. Schwörmontag is a local holiday and every 4 years there is a tournement called Fischerstechen, basically a kind of tjost in boats. Plus (and this is a yearly thing) there is the nabada, kind of like a carneval parade on the danube.
Oh wow- that’s quite the location to get married in! Yes, Blaustein is where I lived. So beautiful and with that castle up above on the hill..! And yet, in 15 minutes, you are at the Münster. I didn’t want to move on! Thanks for the tips, another good reason to go back!

She was born there, I thought? Ulm is really wonderful. Let me know if I can give you any information, when you’re ready to come! You will love it!
@@LaureninGermany She was born in Forchtenberg, but her family moved to Ulm when she was about 11 or so
@@Voronochka262 ah, thanks! I think the town’s wording on their website kind of claimed her, but that is understandable. She was wonderful and it’s heartbreaking that she was executed- murdered.
Hello Lauren, thank you for this nice video about Ulm, a city I have been living since 1997. I am quite happy living here. Ulm is a great place to live! Thanks for the tip of having a wrap at Urgalim C. I have not known this restaurant yet...
Oh, enjoy! Both the cigköfte and the chickpea version are delicious! Grüße nach Ulm! I miss your city!
There is or was a large jade colored stone inside the Münster chapel. It had several cuts into the stone.
I saw it there for 3 years when I lived in the beautiful cities of Ulm & Neu Ulm.
One day my friends and I were passing by & heard a xylophone type sound. We walked in & a children's group was taking a tour. The large jade stone was actually an instrument.
The kids were slapping their hands on it, making music.
😳🎹🎶🧐
We couldn't believe it & found it hilarious.
Do you or anyone else know about this?
This was between 1986 and 1989.
I hope it's still there.
I'd love to hear more details.
🇩🇪🪖❤⚔🇺🇲
I‘ll go and look for it the next chance I get. If I can, I’ll film it, ok? It sounds really cool! Thank you!
@@LaureninGermany Yes that would be awesome to see again and hear any cool history 😎 Thnx
You are always so sweet and adorable and it is a lot of fun to watch your videos.
The thing with the dialects is a very exciting thing if you want to explore the many regions of the German-speaking area, then you will definitely have fun with it and maybe experience one or the other surprise and overcome challenges, but I have heard as far as dialects are concerned Brits are pretty good at it, too, right?
Thank you in any case and have a pleasant week.
Oh yes, there are some dialects in GB that even I don’t understand and I think I‘ve got a good ear!
Thank you, Robert! How kind you are to me!
Of course I liked the video ! After all I am an " Ulmer Spatz", 😊👍 !
Thanks a lot. It is sooo nice to see one's home when abroad as you yourself surely knows.
🐉( Didn't find a red dragon, sorry.)

Hi Lauren, did you visit Straßburg or Metz? The architecture is stunning as well.
Yes, I have been to Straßburg - I have sung there a few times! But always before I had my CZcams channel, unfortunately!
Hi Lauren. I´m a Donauschwabe too and emigrated in 1985 from Romania, from a village on the Hungarian border to Franconia, Germany. Just a little supplement to your wonderfull vlog. The emigrants came from all over Western Germany and Eastern France, some even from Italy between 1750 end 1790. All had to be catholics. They were embarked in Ulm on the so called Ulmer Schachteln (rudimentary boats) and shipped on the Danube until Budapest. From here they were allotted to the settling areas, all over the Banat region, which since 1921 (Treaty of Trianon after WW I) is divided between Hungary, Serbia and Romania. The people preserved their respective original dialects, which is of course different from today´s standard German. My own family came frome Lorrain, France in 1765 and we still speak our dialect at home. Thank you for mentioning our history, because few people in Germany know about or are even interested in it. Kind regards.
Exactly - someone commented that they didn’t think Swabian is so difficult to understand, but it was Donauschwäbisch. I felt quite emotional about sharing this, so I am very glad that you liked it, thank you.
Wow , I lived in Ulm for 10 years, and before that in Giengen an der Brenz for a year too,
WHAT a coincedane 🤯
Anyway, love from Karlsruhe 😊
Ahhhh!!! It´s a small world! Greets to Karlsruhe!
@@LaureninGermany where do you live at the mo.?

Laureen, some funny facts about Ulm. It is not too long ago, when you drove west from Ulm to Tübingen or Reutlingen along the B28, the signs in Ulm showed direction "Reutlingen", but as soon as you left the territory of Ulm, the signs changed to "Tübingen". The cities Tübingen/Reutlingen are only 10 km apart, so it is the generally same direction, but why the change?
Well my interpretation is as follows, both Ulm and Reutlingen were formerly free cities ("freie Reichsstädte") and both were not too friendly with Württemberg. As soon as you enter the territory of Württemberg in Blaubeuren, the direction changes to the main city of Württemberg in that direction, that is Tübingen. Sometimes history has funny consequences, even nowadays.
But too bad, the direction signs were changed some years ago.
Have you been to the "Blautopf" - the source of the river Blau? A watermaid is living there :-) sometimes she comes up to sing at the surface!
There is an other tongue breaker (beside the one about Ulm) about Blaubeuren - but it is in Swabian - every Swabe knows it: "S'leit a Kletzle Blei glei bei Blaubeura - glei bei Blaubeura leit a Kletzle Blei" - "Es liegt ein Klötzchen Blei gleich bei Blaubeuren - gleich bei Blaubeuren liegt ein Klötzchen Blei"
The ships which were used by the Donauschwaben were called "Ulmer Schachteln" - "Ulm boxes".
Jaaa... I wondered if anyone would know that about the Ulmer Schachteln. I can´t always pack everything into a video that I would like to, so I left it out. I hoped people were interested enough in the Donauschwaben to listen to as much as I said...!
And the Blautopf is a dream ... but please, have a look at my video about Bad Urach! LOL there´s a funny story behind my visit....
Oh, the tribal nature of the Germanic people shows in the signposts, I think! LOL
Liebe Lauren! Deutschland hat so viele wunderschöne Städte, und Ulm zählt auch dazu .Mach weiter so mit deinen schönen, wunderbaren Videos.

To promote the German city of Ulm, also the site of one of Napoleon's famous victories. Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit What You Waiting For could be used, via a simple reworking of the chorus, removing the oh's and turning them into Ulm.

@@Arltratlo phenomenal! I‘ve just converted a van and want to travel more. I know it’s not as flexible as a motorbike, but I love it!
@@LaureninGermany since my military service, i demand a real bed, walls and a roof above me and A/C or heating in my room... so i go only for hotels...less stress and if the weather is to British, i stay there longer...got wifi and TV too!
I imagine you have less luggage with you on a motorbike than I have, with two dogs and being a singer/actress! I hate dragging it all in and out of hotels. I used to travel just with a backpack, but as a student, not when performing...but the light travelling was great.
And I am sure even my van offers a lot more comfort than what you had to endure in the military...
You're right about Hoch Deutsch - when in Ulm the locals & I stuck to english & written communications! Bier was a great starting point thankfully! I had thought my Bavarian friends were exaggerating again!
Lol! It’s a shock at first, isn’t it? And then, just when you‘ve got it- you go to another region and have to start all over again!
Ulm is the one on the map of Germany I sometimes get crossed with Wurzburg. I'll have to go over to straighten that out.
Oh, they´re very different! The best way to learn geography is to visit both! (I was awful at geography, so I speak from experience!)

@@LaureninGermany Only three goes? That's impressive :-D
@@77Chester77 😂 I think pride made me clever for 5 minutes!
My mothers is already born in West-Germany but her parents, my grandparents, were „Ungarndeutsche“ from the area around Bácsalmás. As a kid I never heard them calling themselves Donauschwaben. As long as they lived I only knew that they had to leave Hungary after WW2. But now afaik it‘s probably possible, that they were descendants from the first „Donauschwaben“ that came to that area. 😊
And my grandparent‘s and also my mother‘s recipe collection were/are influenced by the Hungarian kitchen. My mother to this day makes a wonderful „Kartoffelgulasch“ without meat and just with potatoes and something called „Kartoffelsknödel“ that are made more like thick Spätzle. And of course no recipe is short of paprika. 🤤
Ahhh Onkel Karl who had moved back to Hungary brought regular supplies of Paprika. Can you even eat potatoes without it lol?! It’s really worth looking into your family’s history. Apparently, people emigrated as early as the 11th century, but mainly in the 17th century. Upstream, along the Donau. Tough people.
@@LaureninGermany I did a little bit of research into my family’s ancestry and still have the Family Tree Mobile App to save all the information I have. I also have photos of the birth certificates of my grandmother and grandfather in Hungarian and oddly in Latin, too. But I didn‘t get further than to the birth of my grand grandparents in 1884.
My grandmother had her own little green house in my grandparents backyard where she grew Hungarian paprika. So there was (almost) never a shortage on paprika. 🙂 If you are interested, I can ask my mother for the recipe of „Kartoffelgulasch“. As I said it‘s without meat and afaik vegetarian or even vegan. 😊
@@Al69BfR Oh, I really would love that recipe! I´m vegan, and if there is butter in it, I can easily replace that with vegan butter. The Hungarians actually brought the Latin word to Bavaria that they all use for greeting: "servus". Apparently, they used it to say, I am your servant, Ihr Diener, quasi. So, I can imagine that Latin was an Amtssprache...?
@@LaureninGermany My mother informed me that the recipe originally contains eggs within the Knödel dough, but you can replace that part with vegan Spätzle when you use a little bit more flour so the Knödle get a little bit stiffer so you can form little Gnocchi sized Knödel with a spoon and put them with the spoon in the boiling sauce until they fall off the spoon. For the rest you need „mehlig kochende Kartoffeln“ and the same amount of onions. Cut the onions and cook them until they are glassy. Then add water to make the sauce depending on how thick you like it, add salt and „Paprika Edelsüß“ and cook the potatoes you cut into slices within that sauce. For the „Kartoffelsknödel“ use 250g flour, half a spoon of salt and 3 eggs/egg replacement or use a recipe for vegan Spätzle with a little bit more flour.
When the potatoes are almost done, finally add the „Kartoffelsknödel“ (Spätzle). When the Knödel appear on the surface of the water everything is right to be served. And as always you can add other spices or vegetables to your liking, but perhaps you then have to reduce the amount of water you use.
I hope you‘ll like it as my family does. 😊🤤

What a lovely video about Ulm! So much Beauty and interesting facts in your videos! In Ulm and around Ulm! But don’t you Film inside buildings? A short quick in the Ulmer Münster would have been great too. By the way, do you know, the Schnitzereien on Fachwerkhäusern have mostly a certain individual meaning. Have you been to Bacharach or Bernkastel-Kues or Braunfels or cities and towns at the Lahnriver?

Ulm has a very beautiful old town but many of us who enjoyed its lively Cafés, Jazz Bars or great street restaurants and pubs are wondering what happened to the city the last say 10 years. In comparison to Austrian, French or Netherland cities we feel Ulm is going down the drain and only a sad shadow of a great past.... but...if you don't have that reference you sure can still enjoy the city's architectural beauty
Tbh I think it’s got that way everywhere. My husband is a jazz musician and it was different earlier. I still think Ulm has a special flair, but I am definitely biased!
@@LaureninGermany as said: Ulm certainly has its flair but what happened to its life? Its certainly not like that everywhere, just check on Polish cities like krakow, Gdansk etc. Check on Netherland cities like maastricht etc. French cities, Austrian cities. There are still cool jazz bars in these places, great cafe and restaurant scene, great pubs and nightlife. In Germany all that is certainly going down the drain and I wonder why.... but the cities are still beautiful
I meant in Germany, by everywhere. Sorry, I wasn´t clear!
Just try this: S leid a Klötzle Blei glei bei Blaubeura, glei bei Blaubeura leit a Klötze Blei. (Blaubeuren, not far off Ulm)
Besides do you know: Ulmer Spatz, Schneider von Ulm, greatest fort in the world, most high church tower...
And to go on: Wilhelm Bauer (submarine) from Dillingen (i think), Albertus Magnus (Lauingen), (maybe) the last witch burndt in germany: Lauingen (yearly rememberd by Hexenverbrennung)...
And the people of Giengen/Brenz are Panscher (a few centuries ago some (Imperator) got problems with to much water in his whine..) Well there is a fountain about this, just in the middle of Gienegen/Brenz.
(A little addon: It takes me about 1/2 to go to Giengen/Brenz by feet (dont ?verwechsel? with Giengen/Fils).
Brenz is a river (not really, just look at danube (Lauingen)), Fils is a bit smaller, than Brenz...
Mea aculpa...
Edit: Der Brunnen in Giengen ist der Knöpflesch Wasser Brunnen: Da ist einer ?Bedienug? etwas auf den Boden gefallen und sie hats einfach abgewaschen...
Panschen tun sie immer noch, was ich aus eigener Erfahrung bestätigen kann...
Hello BRacing Green (one of my favourite colours, btw). Your last comment got filtered out, unfortunately, because there were links on it - but thank you so much, I really appreciate your compliments!
Now, I know lots about Giengen... (as if I could verwechsel a.d. Brenz mit Fils! Wo ist denn das? lol just joking!) Have a look:czcams.com/video/SmM301Ly_XI/video.html
food in germany without meat is hard to imagine for most of us
I can really understand that. But over the last years, the alternatives have become fantastic, and the ease and choice is getting so much better, too. If you don‘t want animals to suffer, it‘s never been easier. I was in Lidl on Föhr, and there were alternatives right next to the animal products, not in a separate section.
I‘m not trying to push it here on the channel, but I don‘t want to pretend I‘m something I‘m not (a meat-eater). I‘m open for questions if you want!
Hello Lauren, could You please tell me about the streetfood you ate at the end of the Video? I am German but havent seen this meal before. ( I first thought You had some kind of Turkish Lamacun :D )
Yes, it is Turkish - it is called Cigköfte, tasty balls made from bulgar wheat. Originally they were made from raw meat, but that´s no longer allowed, luckily for me, as a non-meat eater! They are tasty and healthy!
@@LaureninGermany Thanks Lauren. I thought it doesnt look too familiar to the German kitchen as we usually dont have any wrap styled dishes here originally.
@@sayonarababy335 I think I also said my favourite street food in Germany, but if I misled you, I am sorry. In that case, I should never mention Kaffee und Kuchen as being German. As coffee is originally Turkish?
@@LaureninGermany No no i think the missunderstanding was on my side. I have a hard oppinion on the German kitchen and to be straight with You I dont like our kitchen very much. I prefer dishes from Southern Europe, Latin America and China. Those countries have a lot of wrapped meals.
@@sayonarababy335 ah, that’s great to know! ❤️
🥰👍
Hi Carlos - CARLOS!!!
@@LaureninGermany 😂😂😂😘
More views you say...here we are!ask and you shall be given
I just checked the analytics and the video is doing well again, it´s honestly helped me! Thank you so much! I hope you had a little coffee break from the cleaning!
@@LaureninGermany we are Germans! No breaks,just work
@@chkoha6462 until Feierabend….
Have you been talking to my husband? He’s with you about the breaks! Then thank you double for the view!
@@LaureninGermany Feierabend is a holy institution,but that has to be earned
@@chkoha6462 I am clearly a pagan with all my breaks…
Dear Lauren, jetzt mal "Butter bei die Fische"... how many takes did it take for you to say the tonguetwister "In Ulm, um Ulm.." without mistake? 😁
What is absolutely unbelievable is that I did it in one take!!! I can’t believe it. It’s the only time I have said it right in one go! 😂 I almost got Donaudampf…blahblah in one, but I slithered on schaft and started swearing!
@@LaureninGermany Wow, I am honestly impressed. I am sure that if I should try it in one take, I will fail miserably... although I am German! 😂
Well the compound words are a different story I guess... a weird symptom of the German language... but I think that's what we are, a bit weird sometimes 😂
@@detlefklinge1195 everybody’s weird, just some people are in bigger groups of similarly weird people lol!
I impressed myself!
@@LaureninGermany You expressed that way much better than I could... similarly weird people... thanks for that! 😂😂😂
@@detlefklinge1195 I think observing as a perpetual outsider helps you see that ❤️
So so...da bist du fast so etwas wie eine Nachbarin von mir.Das hätte ich jetzt wirklich nicht erwartet.Findest du die Sprache auf der Ostalb wirklich so schwer?Ich denke das hier noch sehr gut verständlich gesprochen wird.
Meine Schwiegemutter spricht Donauschwäbisch, das ist schon eine andere Schwierigkeitsstufe. Als ich erst ein Monaten in Deutschland war, ging es sehr schwer. Die Bayerische Tante konnte ich gar nicht verstehen. Ein paar Jahre später, nachdem ich in Bayern wohnte, war es wie Magie - plötzlich konnte ich sie verstehen! Inzwischen verstehe ich Schwäbisch, wenn man deutlich mit der Ausländerin spricht... lol
This comment is for the algorithm!
Lol! Thank you Anthea! Much appreciated!
In Düren sieht es besser aus. Zwei Badeseen, Wälder, Burgen und die Eifel!
Und Onkel Jürgen habt Ihr auch! Lol! Comparison is the killer of joy!
The only negative thing You could say about Ulm is, that it's swabian, but I have to admit I'm not neutral, I'm from Baden!😁
Oh, you naughty thing!!!
@@LaureninGermany Hihi 😄💋
Das sieht so lecker aus!
Ich vermisse es sehr! Leider kocht sie nicht mehr. Aber es war immer solch eine Verwöhnung!
@@LaureninGermany Essen, mit Liebe gemacht, ist etwas an das man sich immer lange erinnert.
@@sisuguillam5109 well, I don´t think she loves me! But definitely Franz, so I got the benefit of that!
@@LaureninGermany oh, no... but as long as hubby loves you all should be well.
@@sisuguillam5109 that’s the main thing!
Einstein was born in Ulm
He certainly was!
EU4 GANG
Sorry, ich verstehe nicht?!
What a disappointing video. Nothing negative in there. So we Germans will not comment a lot and doubt, if we shall watch the following videos. 🤠
OMG you gave me a heart attack, Mattes! LOL!
Better off.
