      Yeah, the modern concept of Germany was found is from the 1800s but it has a long history prior to that {ever heard of the Holy Roman Empire?}. My German ancestors came from Silesia, Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg {I'm mostly African-American but with German, Scottish, English and Chinese ancestry}. Most non-immigrant black Americans are mixed-race so this doesn't really mean much however.

    I don’t think you would need to worry about your skin colour here in Germany. In fact I’ve heard many black Americans say that they were shocked that it really isn’t much of an issue here. There are some older people who were not used to seeing so many dark-skinned people when they were growing up, but I’m talking about 80-year-olds. I’m 68, and already my generation was more accepting than the previous generation. The young people today don’t care at all. We have people of all colours and ethnicities here, and that’s a good thing.

    1. yes people of color live in Germany and they come from many countries.
    2. The country Germany that is here today was formed in 1871 but the native people living here have been here back to the time of Christ they became a seperate stae much later.
    3. The cost of food is generly alot cheaper here in Germany I am allways shoked when I go home to Seattle for a visit and see what my family pays for food(and how much people eat out)
    4. Germany has the same weather as you see in places like Washington state. The German people love to bundle up ans spend time walking thru the market so it can be a bit chilly.
    5. Most people go on more then just one day.
    I came to Germany in 1984 and never went back to America( some times a quick visit with family ) and I still love it here. Living here makes it easyer to travel all over Europe.

They probably originally come from Scandinavia, Denmark and Northern Germany. According to the earliest historical records, the ancestors of the Germans can be traced back to the middle of the 1st millennium BC. can be traced back to the Jastorf culture (North Germanic plain between the Elbe and Oder) and to the Harpstedt culture in north-west Germany and Holland. Later, when the Celts were pushed out, they reached the Alps and even became the heirs of the defunct Western Roman Empire.

      That is not fully correct. The first "official" German King was Otto I, who became 951 als King of Italy and in 962 Roman-German Emperor. The German Kingdom existed until 1806 as one of up to 5 kingdoms within the Holy Roman Empire, which was abolished due to a ultimatum by Napoleon. Napoleon then created four new kingdoms and some "Grand Duchies" within the German territory. After the Congress of Vienna three of those Kingdoms founded together with the Kingdom of Hannover, the Prussian Kingdom and the Austrian Empire as well as the Grand Duchies (except that of Berg, which was annexed by Prussia) and some other minor states the German Confederation, which was ended in 1866, as it was defeated by Prussia and Italy.

      @@MichaEl-rh1kv ?! - There was no "German Kingdom" within the Holy Roman Empire! The things you name after "Congress of Vienna" are also not correct like "Berg"? it doesn't exist. . . But indeed Otto I. was called "the German", and later the HRE was also called "Holy Roman Empire of German Nations". So an uncentralized collection/confederation of German countries. Not a German Nation though. The federal states of todays unified Germany are mostly descendants of the older kingdoms, duchies, and territories that made up the Holy Roman Empire.

    Tourists mostly visit the larger towns as well as land marks. Berlin and Munich are probably the greatest tourist magnets, but places like Hamburg, Nuremberg, Cologne, Frankfurt etc are also popular destinations.
    As for black people, Germany has them. Germany is diverse and is the second most popular immigration destination worldwide after the US. Most PoCs in Germany are of direct African descent, there are few African Americans, though there are some of those as well. Most of Germany's immigrants come from Europe, Africa, the Middle East and a few from Asia. North and South Americans are rather rare.
    You are arguably safer here than in most places in the US, not only from the perspective of a PoC, but simply as a human being, though this doesn't mean that Germany doesn't have its own issues.
    As a tourist you'll be 100% fine and safe so if you want to visit you are very welcome here!

    Germany already existed before 1871 under a different name and with different borders. previously the Holy Roman Empire which existed from about 800 AD. Germany consisted of many small empires for a very long time and in 1871 there was a merger under a single-ruling emperor. German history is long and complicated.

    Germany was first referred to as 'Germany' a little after the year zero - the Romans referred to the whole region of today's Germany (and more) as 'Germania Magna' (meaning 'big Germany'). Yet, what they put as one country on their maps was really just an area where a lot of Germanic tribes (like the Teutons, the Frisians, the Franks, etc.) were living. They were not united as one country or considering themselves one people.
    Charlemagne ('Charles the Great') ruled over most of today's Germany and most of today's France, but upon his death, the kindom did again break up into a lot of different countries, most of them relatively small. While they had a nominal ruler in the 'Emperor of the Holy Roman Kingdom of the German Nation', most rulers did what they wanted.
    Over time, most of north-eastern Germany (then) was collected into Prussia, an aggressive power who then managed to bring in the other states (such as Bavaria, Hessia, Baden, etc.) over time, both through war and negotiations (essentially 'join us or we'll conquer you,' but, hey, no real war). In 1871, they officially made 'the Germanies' (as the area had been referred to before) 'Germany.' From then onwards, we've had a mostly unified Germany (broken up after WWII and now reunited).
    Cities like Frankfurt, Munich, and so on have been around for more than a thousand years in most cases. Trier, founded by the Romans, is the olderst official city, but there are lots of others which have been around for a long, long time. So, yes, there were Christmas markets in 1434. There just wasn't a unified Germany at that time.

    After 1512 it was also called The Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.
    1871 was when Prussia united the German Nation under the Prussian King and Emporer.
    Yes, there was no Deutschland as political construct before 1871 but there were German people, culture and so on.

    The "Met" that you saw is mead, the famous alcoholic drink of the Norse/Vikings made out of honey (Honig). All the items at that booth were honey related products and therfore more expensive and probably also hand made.
    And yes, if you try all foods there, you will get sick! :-))) How do we manage? We don't manage, we usually go several times if the market is close, so you can do whatever you want: try and see everything or just what floats your boat (or that of the people you went with) or just drink some mulled wine and get tipsy.

    Many Christmas traditions originally come from the many small states that existed in Germany before 1871. Like the Christmas tree or the Christmas markets that exist all over Europe today. Many German immigrants brought many of their Christmas traditions to the United States. There was no Germany as a unitary state, but the Holy Roman Empire, which had existed for over 1000 years. Napoleon was the first to put an end to this small state with his conquests. But Germans already existed in Roman times. there were 100 Germanic tribes like the Alemanni, the Vandals, the Franks, etc.

    -Cold: it depends on the year and winter. This week was -8°C/18°F with snow. Bundling up is good and if you drink the mulled wine keeps people warm and happy.
    - Visiting for people of colour: I would say bigger metropols usually have bigger communities everywhere. Berlin is going to be diverse for example and should feel comfortable, I believe. Anywhere near an US army base is also an area used to seeing black men and women.
    - Prices: I think mostly they are fair, things are a bit more expensive because they are often handmade, but reasonably priced. Smaller souvenirs are also an option. This weekend I spend under 2€ for a small bag of hard candy for example. Met is an alcoholic drink made from honey, so a beekeeper would sell that. You can also get smaller, traditional ornaments for 2€ or so. Bigger things will cost more, but for average earners a lot of treats should be possible.
    - Re Germany: modern Germany the country only exists since 1871, but it is made up of states that existed in some form before, usually some sort of kingdom. They were a different kind of union under an emperor before. The places all existed in the 1400s, but the concept of "Germany" as a whole didn't. Think of it as local state rivalries beneath.
    - Highlights of markets: 1) treats. Whether it's cookies, wine, candies, bread with cheese, roasted nuts, smoked salmon... Good eats all around. 2) Christmas decorations - light up stars, tree ornaments, Christmas pyramids, candle arches, Christmas themed incense, funny wooden puppets that look like they are smoking when you burn the incense, candles, wreaths... Anything you might need to celebrate 3) artisanal goods, usually options for gifts. Candles and honey, chocolate, wool, knitted goods and yes, even something as traditional as a basket weaver. It's almost as entertaining to window shop for things imo.

    Wow. Nice reaction.
    Where to begin here.... lets see
    1. The candles are 100% bees wax, so the price is really not bad at all.
    2. There are black people, but you will get a few extra looks bc its not common and germans love to have a look. 😁
    3. The area where you find german speakers today was inhabitated for the last 2000+ years, and the leadership changed a lot over time. From germanic tribes to romans to "The Holy Roman Empire of German Nations". Through the first, second and third Reich to modern Germany. The Germany with todays borders exists only for 30 ish years, but that doesnt mean there wasnt any history made here prior. German history is worth its own episode, its insane.
    4. The weather can change a lot, from 60 to 0 degrees and locally even lower. And its dark at like 5pm, so you usually go there all bundled up in the dark and cold, thats a part of the whole expirience with the ligths and the smell of hot spiced wine and foods.
    5. Prices in Germany are quite a bit lower then in the U.S., so the more expinsive prices at the market will seem quite appropriat to you i think.
    6. I think it should be ok to bring souvenirs from the E.U. to the U.S., bc the E.U. has stricter regulations. But better be safe then sorry and have a look into the customs before bringing sth back
    Love from Germany ❤

    On the founding date of Germany: The first unified state Germany (Deutsches Reich) was founded in 1871, but people lived here many centuries before.
    The first cities were founded by the Roman Empire in the 1st century (like Trier or Cologne) later in the middle ages there were literaly 100s of more or less independent states ruled by either noble lords, clergy men or in case of some cities trade republics (mostly connected through the Hanse).
    Just compare this to the US, est 1776, New York was founded 150 years earlier.
    So why its so surprising that all the people tried to celebrate christmas in their hometowns, not knowing that they dont have a "nation" above them. They were happy with their mayor or lord (or unfortunately unhappy)
    So many traditions go back a thousand years or longer, still holding up resisting digitalization....

The coldest time in German winters is mid to end January, when temperatures are often below freezing point during the day and sometimes drop to less than -10° C (14° F).
    The probably most magical Christmas market can you find here: czcams.com/video/hzlOEPSHMDM/video.html - and I like to recommend the channel as well if you are interested e.g. studying or working abroad.

    Recommendation: A more current vid about the same topic: czcams.com/video/u4l_wJkIezs/video.html
    Currency: Germany uses the Euro, which is currently about 1:1 to the Dollar. Honig-Met is Mead, Honey wine Viking style.
    3:05 The traditional German gift-giver depends - in more Catholic regions it would be Saint Nicholas of Myra, in more Protestant region it could be the Christ child, but there are other varieties also. Saint Nicholas' Day is the 6th of December, which was in former days the day children got presents. But as Reformation abolished all Saints, Protestant children lost that tradition, except in the Netherlands, were the Protestants kept the tradition of Nicholas under the name of Sinterklaas (and exported it later to the US). In Germany some Protestants tried to be fair to their children and moved the tradition of gift-giving to Christmas, as kind of birthday party for the Christ. The presents were therefore not any longer brought by Saint Nicholas or Santa Claas, but by the Christ child. Nuremberg being a protestant city therefore adopted the Christ child for their traditional fair before Christmas (Nuremberg was a center of long-distance trade, but also a city of toymakers). But other regions invented the "Weihnachtsmann", the Christmas man, a character very similar to Santa Claas, while more and more Catholic regions adopted the Christ child besides the traditional Nicholas (which then led to the unfair situation of Catholic children having two days of receiving gifts in December: Sweets and small, often practical presents at the 6th of December and bigger toys at the 24th of December).
    5:01 There are, but the percentage is a bit lower than in the US, especially in more rural places. In big cities like Berlin, Munich, Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg, ... however you would surely not stand out. The amount of melanin in born Germans can vary wildly - in general it is a bit less in the North, but there are some descendants of African people a few generations before also, there are some descendants of US GIs (in the Southwest also of French soldiers from North Africa) as well as of immigrants since WW II. Additionally there are many international students, first-generation immigrants and adopted children.
    5:50 Before 1871 there was the German Confederation (1815-1867) which was abolished after it lost a war against Prussia and Italy. Before that there was the German Kingdom (ruled by the so-called German-Roman King and Roman Emperor), one of about 4 Kingdoms within the Holy Roman Empire (the others were Bohemia, Italy and Burgundy-Arelat, for a very short time also Sardinia, but during the 17th century Burgundy became French and Italy virtually a bunch of independent states). The first German king was Henry I, but his offical title was still rex francorum orientalum (King of the Eastern Franks). His son Otto I became the first German-Roman King and Emperor in 962 AD. The Holy Roman Empire was abolished due to an ultimatum by Napoleon in 1806. The oldest cities within Germany are either founded by the Romans (like Trier 16 BC or Cologne 50 AD) or by Celts (south of river Danube, like Kempten, around 15 BC conquered by Romans). Frankfurt was first mentioned in a document by Charles the Great (Charlemagne) in 794.
    7:30 It is the oldest Christmas market, but not the oldest market. The farmer's market in my hometown runs every week since more than 870 years: We know this, because in 1153 a peasant stabbed the sheriff. The Striezelmarkt in Dresden was founded by a privilege to sell meat for the Christmas meal for one day in the week before Christmas (there were once 6 weeks of lent before Christmas). Since 1548 the market was called Striezelmarkt after the traditional sweet fruit bread, the Dresden Stollen or Dresden Striezel also sold at the market. It is therefore older than Christopher Columbus who was born in 1451 (and allegedly worked as captain of trading ships chartered by merchants from my hometown before persuading Queen Isabella of Castille and King Ferdinand of Aragon to fund his expedition to India, which didn't work out because he had calculated the circumference of the Earth wrongly).

    Germany as many other european countries use the Eoro as currency and taxes are already in the prices so if it says 9 euro you pay 9 euro and the honey met is honey whine or meade, there are many coloured people in germany and its very safe there. they can talk about 1400 because the state as it is now is way different than before that germany used to be many small kingdoms that go back to the roman empire that originate 6 centuries before christ. this is not totaly accurate (im not german im dutch from the netherlands) but gives an idea how old the land is. the teperature divers from where you are in Germany but you can be in teperatures around 5 fahrenheit

    The history of the Germans gets extremely far back, even before Jesus' crucifixion, but at that time it was called Germania and the germanic people were distributed around today's Germany and Austria. So germans actually existed before the years were given numbers. Well, Germania evolved and became the lands and territories of various kings and nobles. At some point the Holy Roman Empire came with a lot of small german kingdoms and a lot war, germany became finally one country in 1870tes by Bismark, than the first empire came and a lot war, the second empire and a lot war, a divided Germany and a lot of cold war and a united Germany.

    east is mostly atheist due to the Soviets holding power and influence there going to church in a traditional german way was kinda fround apon and it also was not liked if germans tried to follow the soviet ways

    Lady, a well meant warning to you, Eastern Germany as Dresden, Magdeburg, Leipzig etc. is not without danger for people with darker skin. For a long time the East Germans were isolated from the world, because of Russia. There are a lot of people, we call racists. In the big Cities like Dresden and Leipzig, this is manageable, as there are a lot of visitors from around the world. And Most of us Germans are very welcoming to our foreign guests. So take it with a grain of salt and be careful. Elmar from Germany.
