- 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.

Abseloutely fabulous video. And very brave. As a Norwegian most people think my greatest Ww-2 heroes was Montgomery and Patton. In fact it was not. Not even Staufenberg. It was the Scholl siblings Hans and Sophie. In particular Sophie. And other brave Germans like Willy Brandt and many many more. I thank the modern Germans for their help to Ukraine today. I thank you for sending your troops to exercise Nordic Response these days. Germany is really standing up to evil these days. Danke Deuchland!🇸🇯❤️🇩🇪. And thank you Lauren!
Sophie Scholl breaks my heart. I often think of her, Hans. And Georg Elser, the Swabian man who tried to kill AH. These are braver people than I am.
@@LaureninGermany Far bravery than me too. 👍
@@hansmarheim7620 IT tooks really much bravery to withstand the NZ regime, every opponent could end in a KZ 😔.
But also much thanks to the Dutch people who tried to save Anne Frank. 😭
My great Grandfather witnessed to me that he was well aware what happened in Germany.. With the Jews.
But he was not a liar, he said he was full of fear, not brave enough to withstand the "Skulls"
"Skull is referrering to the" SS" who always had a skull on their uniform.
I can´t imagine the terror.
Hamburg grüßt Spitzbergen!❤
Bravo for standing up and sorry this happened before you had to perform.
Thank you- it is a very bad moment for that, absolutely. I have to be open and not in warrior mode on stage!
Our course, you did the right thing: saying no and escorting her out.
So sorry for you! 😢
Another company that makes very good German outdoor gear is "Vaude" in Tettnang, which is also very socially and environmentally friendly.
I really like Vaude, I have given Franz their rucksacks twice as a present.
I like Vaude. Good Preis/Leistung.
Me, too.
We all love Ashton and the Black Forest Family!
It´s been too long! I want to meet her baby!
So true! 👍

Dear Lauren, again very interesting stories from you. Action of resistance like Junge Bundschuh happened quite often, but directly after the war, people were not talking about it. They were living together, but knowing each other, who has been a Nazi, who not. So they excluded these issues to keep peace between them. So were my parents - they never talked about it. And the next generation quite often did not get to know these stories. I know similar stories from the town Leer in Northern Germany.
This strange lady, wanting to photograph you: just forget it. There are quite some people around with brain misfunctions because of drugs, etc. Just stay away from those people.
Ah, that explains a lot. I know Leer, and yes, I haven´t heard anything about that.
Unbelievably, she was from the press! I think she was trying to be assertive, but she was being terribly rude.
@@LaureninGermanyShe said, she was from the press.... Who knows.....???
The organiser knew her, she´s known there, don´t worry! Not understandable at all, is it?!
no, don't worry about any "fettnäpfchen"! You are absolutely right! I was born in 1965 and was growing up and educated under the paradigm of "never again"! And that may have been the reason, at least I'm not constantly talking about the dangers of fascism. Because this is so fundamentally engrained in my life's compass that this hadn't even risen to any level of conscious concern. Until recently. You are absolutely right. We should never forget to talk about it. What's not been talked about will become forgotten! We cannot afford for this to be forgotten. And that's the reason - if any - I'm proud to be German: to know that the path into the future cannot be about bringing back the past.
This mindset is the one that makes me proud of and feel so much respect for the Germans. It´s mature and educated. Thank you, I appreciate what you said.
Well Lauren, if people don't like the things they are doing and if they can't behave towards others, then we all need to show them limits. So you did the absolute right thing. Personally I hate rude people, I really despise them
Limits- I love that! Exactly, she didn‘t respect the limit of how she could treat someone. Thank you!
@@LaureninGermany as usual in Germany the rights of the individual end where they negatively affect others.
You did absolutely the right thing escorting that person out! I'm sorry, that this happened, but as you probably already know, there are some crazy people everywhere …
I was in shock! But I thought, if she stays, I won‘t give a good performance, dodging all those mean vibes!
Hallo Lauren, wieder einmal ein tolles Video aus einer tollen Landschaft. Der Pfälzer Wald ist wirklich eine schöne urige Gegend. mit einigen Burgen, z.B. Burg Trifels bei Annweiler, dort war 1193 Richard Löwenherz einige Zeit gefangen. Schön, dass dein Konzert trotz dieser unmöglichen Dame am Anfang, doch ein schöner Erfolg wurde. Viele Grüße. 👍👍
Danke Dir, Heinz! Ich habe die Burg am Vorbeifahren gesehen, leider keine Zeit für einen Besuch diesmal!
Yes Lady, you drove through my home, the "Pfälzerwald" I'm sure you didn't miss the castles on the hilltop?
It's not only like a fairy tale, there are hundreds of fairy tales around this region, tales about maidens and knights, dragons and "Elwetritsche"..
It's the biggest coherent forest in Germany and it doesn't end on the French border. Our French friends call it "Vosgues du nord", "Nordvogesen"
And to the rude lady from the Press, well done to escort her out 😂👍
Ah, I was enchanted by the beauty! Now I must look up the tales, thank you!
And thanks for the moral support! 🙏😊
@@LaureninGermany even brittish history can be found in that forrest ;) richard lionhart was hold captive in trifels castle ;) also it is when you compare the frensh vogesen and the pfälzerwald the biggest forest in middle europe
8:54 "Guys, I don't know if I dare tell you this, but I escorted that lady out."
😄Well with an attitude like the one you've described, she practically _begged_ you to. 😄
LOL it´s true. She was hanging around on the side of the stage having a go at me...I thought, I´ve got to get her out so I can actually go and sing, everyone was waiting...!
I love the way you show us these beautiful places & that you talk about such important issues.
I'm horrified the unpleasant woman had access to you at all & well done removing her from the vicinity.
❤🏴❤
Thanks, Annie! I‘ve started to dare to say what I think, as most of the people who find their way here are polite when sharing their opinions with me and everyone here, including if they disagree.
Yes, she needed to leave…and to re-train, I think!
Have a lovely Sunday, Welsh weather here today!
You have the "Hausrecht!"
Yeah!
Thank you Lauren to show my home area Ettlingen!
Your videos show your grand sensibility. ❤❤❤❤
Oh, thank you! I am so embarassed that suddenely started saying Ettingen! I misspelled it when I was typing the map - Ettinglen, then "corrected" it by completely leaving out the L...I need sleep....
@@LaureninGermany don't worry, be happy Lauren! I like your style..
@@LaureninGermany ts ts ts, you've confused me. Ettingen?! First I thought that you were in Saarland still. But somehow the pictures seemed to show something I knew. Then you mentioned the Alb river. That has convinced me that you were talking about Ettlingen.
It's a beautiful town near Karlsruhe and you can take a tramway to get to Karlsruhe from there. In fact that tramway (Albtalbahn) connects the entire valley of the Alb river with Karlsruhe. It's a really nice ride up to Bad Herrenalb, a small town at the end of the Alb valley. Between Ettlingen and Bad Herrenalb there's Frauenalb with its ruins of an old abbey.
Google has told me that there's actually a place called Ettingen in Switzerland. And closer to my home there's a small town called Ettringen at the Wertach river in the Bavarian part of Swabia.
Michael, well I certainly was confused, and now embarrassed - noone will ever believe anything I say again...
@@LaureninGermany don't worry about the words Lauren!
I'm a management consultant and I can read body speech. You have a beautiful Performance concerning your whole presentation. ❤
Well done, Lauren, for escorting the reporter out of the hall. Still, I think you are much too nice. You need not feel guilty, it was the right thing to do. All about drawing healthy boundaries…😊 thanks for sharing
Thank you, that´s so kind of you!
It’s so lovely to watch your videos!
Glad you like them!
8:10 Done right!👍
She was honestly atrocious.

wow! you´ve finally had the chance to drive through "my area" and home, the Pfälzerwald and the area called "die haardt"! Thanks for showing my "home" to the internet people!!! I truly think that it is a hardly recognized area of germany (by foreign tourists) although its very beautiful, full of dense forrests, castles and also a great place to live with moderate prices for outdoor activities, food, rent and even buying houses. Its very close to the french border and we have really great authentic restaurants, food, wine and landscapes down here. When it comes to visiting "Rhineland-palatinate" most visitors/Tourists only end up in the "Rhineland" area because it has the bigger advertisement, better infrastructure and more famous touristy places like the famous river rhine and its castles or the great vineyard areas and most of these visitors don´t even set a food into the beautiful palatinate area.
I wanna thank you so much for this video, showing the mostly underrated but beautiful palatinate valleys and forrests to your followers! Thumbs up as always, and keep up your great work on youtube, your career as an amazing vocal artist and exploring different countries and areas! I really do appreciate your "work" and the sensitiveness of your videos!!!😊
I was blown away, it´s so beautiful and I didn´t know anything about it! I wanted to stay for days, but I had to leave. I´ll go back and explore those castles etc!
And thank you, how lovely your words are!
Thankyou Lauren ,another lovely video !
You’re welcome 😊 Thank you!
great video again to describe it shortly! 🙂

Good morning Lauren! I am a history teacher and the uprise of the farmers is part of the curriculum in Baden-Württemberg as they were quite active in Oberschwaben.
I don't know about the curriculum in Rheinland-Pfalz but I am quite sure the history of that state is part of it, too. And history is normally taught from 5th to 9th/10th/12th/ 13th grade depending which school one attends as we have A LOT OF HISTORY 😉.
And don't let the bahaviour of a rude b.tch get under your skin ! You did the absolute right thing !!
Ah, this is great to know! And very important for the children to learn that resistance is possible and admirable against such things. Thank you for telling me.
I had to laugh that you, as a teacher, then said b*tch! She was, though, really - and you read me right- she did make me feel bad.
@@LaureninGermany 🖤❤🧡
Always treat other people the way you would like to be treated yourself, which of course also applies to manners and the way we communicate with each other. Unfortunately, there are always people like that, and you can depend on them to determine your mood, your evening Don't let it ruin your day, even if it's not always easy. You are such a great person, you radiate so much warmth, so much positive energy, it's pleasure to see you.
Thank you, Robert. I just read a very rude comment, so yours came at the perfect moment!
Hi Lauren, my wife remembered me of a tale from the Castle "Rheingrafenstein" I'm sure you'll love it, because it's not sad. The Lord of Rheingrafenstein tried to build a castle on a steep rock above the Nahe river.
But it was so dangerous and steep, that nobody could realize the castle.
The lord was desperate, and suddenly the devil occurred, and told the lord that he will build his castle over night, as payment the devil wished to have the first soul who watched out of any window of the castle.
The lord agreed, and on the next Morning a beatyfull castle was build.
But nobody was in the castle, so the devil waited to get his payment.
Meanwhile the lord has send two people with a donkey to the castle, and he told the people to never watch out of the window, but let them send the donkey to watch out of the window. And exactly this happened. The donkey watched out of a window, the devil arrives and took the donkey with him. The devil was betrayed, and was so angry that he let the donkey fall into the Nahe river.
The donkey was not hurt, but shocked, the people from Bad Münster helped the donkey to go to land. 😊
Aww!!! And the sweet donkey‘s soul couldn‘t possibly go to Hell with the devil, so that was a good trick!
Thank you and your wife! I loved it.

What an unpleasant person. Good for you to have dealt with her the way you did.
Thank you, I really didn´t know what else to do!
I am a huge fan on The Sisters of Mercy, I'm active on fan forums and all. After each gig, press reviews found online get posted on the forums. With _at least_ half of these reviews, you can tell the author didn't bother to at least show up at the concert. That's the kind of journalism that is under threat of being replaced by Chat GPT, and I have no complaints about that. 😊
There's a nice short summary about what the Sisters think of the press on their Homepage under "information, Interviews and Bio-Mechanics"→"Rationale & Rhyme & Reason"→"Evolution Science". You obviously encountered one of the specimen described there.
I guess that person will never understand it didn't deserve the style and kindness in which it had been made aware it overstayed its welcome. Elsewhere the security would have taken care of her.
And it's nice to hear you talk about Germany and what and why you like it here. It almost manages to make me like this country again. 🤗
Oh that‘s interesting! I really don‘t like people publishing stuff when they weren‘t there, or were biased and unprofessional. Readers take it seriously and give it respect.
Thank you 🤗
Part of it is modesty. Germans (in general, but there are exceptions) tend to downplay their achievements, they don't want to stand out from the crowd. Talking about the good deeds of their ancestors would be perceived as boasting by these people themselves.
Ah, really? I didn´t know that. I do know that Germans tend to be modest for themselves, though, you´re right.
Thanks for the hastened stage performance, sorry you had to meet a madwoman!
Well spotted! I thought it looked so funny. That was me explaining the Barcarole...
Cello what a cute name for a dog! ❤I immediately think of Udo Lindenberg and his great song "Cello", do you know him, Lauren?
I love Udo Lindenberg - have you seen the film about him? It was so touching.

Lauren, did I understand "Heusweiler" correct? I was born and raised in the neighbouring village of Walpershofen. Heusweiler is my closer home. I don't believe it! 😃💥
If you are ever in Bliekastel /Saarland, please let me know. I live here today and it's a beautiful little baroque town. We then go out for a coffee together. 🙃
That‘s right! I seem to be popping up near you a lot!
@@LaureninGermanyYou almost encircled me. Zweibrücken, Heusweiler... ;-)
Ha! It´s not deliberate... or is it...?
haha no you where in the pfalz i knew that rock ;) take care that you dont get caught by the elvedritsche (for the farietale )
Somehow I didn´t take in what the sign meant and I was like...woahhhh!!!!! Especially in the high van! No elves, or L´s...
@@LaureninGermany elwedritsche are the regional mythical creature they are everywhere in that forrest you should watch out ;) and maybe you can go on a elvedritsche hunt too ;)
Oh, I just looked them up .... cute but a bit scary! Maybe the duck was actually an elvedritsche!?
@@LaureninGermany did it have antlers? usually elwedritsche are friendly creatures ;)
just a little bit mischievous as the palatinates themselve ;)
@@gehtdichnixan3200I am certain he had antlers…!
We have very different regions!
Even I didn't knew something about those people.
Very important, that we had that type of resistance. So there were people at that time, we could look back to and be proud of.
Yes, I agree. Like Georg Elser, and of course, the Scholls.
And the regions - you don´t even need to leave the country to have something completely different to experience for a holiday.
There were the "Edelweißpiraten" also. Regarded to be criminals after the war. By whom? Filbinger, Kiesinger, ... etc. , etc. who wonders. Filbinger executed German Navy boys, who tried to escape to Sweden from Norway, for example, Mai 1945!
@@LaureninGermany And 20.000+ unknown Germans, killed by Fallbeil,...etc. . Even a boy was executed because of listening and talking about the UK German radio program. da,da,da, daaaaaaaa, "V" , victory. The Nazis said, he looked like an adult, therefor he needed to be executed like an adult! By Fallbeil,... .
Dear Lauren, as I listened to your report about the rude press lady, a thought occurred to me that showed a completely different aspect to this rudeness. It's possible that I'm just too old and too sceptical about AI. (No, I'm not a digital dinosaur, I like a lot of things in our digital age, but I'm also someone who likes to exercise caution). The fact that she didn't want to take a photo of you on stage but in front of a black wall makes me suspect that she may not have been from the press at all but wanted the photo for abuse. How easy it would be to crop a person in an image editing programme if they were simply standing in front of a black wall! And with the help of AI, every word could be put into your mouth and you could perform any action, no matter how abstruse. And yes, I am aware that this would also be possible if you had been recorded on stage, but it would simply be technically more difficult. Maybe I'm doing the lady an injustice, but that was my first thought when I listened.
Anyway - you had every right to escort her out! Even if she wasn't up to no good.
Thank you for another of your wonderful videos!
Yes, I also felt vunerable! She was from the press, but we were two metres away from a nicely lit stage, and she wanted this weird close-up... I think you´ve hit on one of the reasons I felt so uneasy about it. It did not make sense.
What an unbelievably rude person...
Telling people no is hard but she gave no reason to say yes.
She is lucky you just escorted her out and didn't try to get her in trouble with whoever might have sent her.
The Concert-organiser probably is spreading the word already.
She was so snotty. Thank God you are in charge of the baseball bat...
@@LaureninGermany That I am!
I'm also a musician in a club (Musikverein) and sometimes we also get "reviews" of reporters who leave after the first half or only saw our setlist. This is very odd, but publicity is publicity, right? (At least for a small Musikverein like us).
5:55 Ente gut, alles gut :-)
Yes, I know those kind, too. But do they order you up against a wall, too, or was that just my luck? lol! I just didn´t want her to write anything, because she was shouting at me for something I could´t have known - that she was coming to take my photo an hour before the show...
Ente gut alles gut, lol!
@@LaureninGermany No, that was definitly a rude behavior and your reaction was absolutely legitimate.
For all Germans who are interested in fairy tales, I think this would be the right time to tell us more about Welsh tales and legends. 😊
Ah… you are in for a treat in a couple of months…. 🤫
Weekend treat! ❤
Oh, Sisu! I can‘t wait for your feedback- I already have less subs! I got political…

@@sisuguillam5109thank you so much for your feedback, Sisu. I have 6 subs less last time I looked, but I do not want them to use me. People like you are still paying the price for people like them. But I feel very scared to say what I think about these things, as an undereducated Brit.
@@LaureninGermany you are not uneducated. You very likely know more than those hate-mongers!

If I was security my suggestion to that "journalist" would have been:
You better find the door yourself, I can escort you if you don't. Or you can wait here for the police and discuss the matter with them.
I would do that while dialing. *Not the emergency number* from the sound of what you where describing, the regular one. That's important.
That usually motivates people like that to leave. At some point you really don't have to fool around with people like that anymore, we have law enforcement for this.
Getting into any sort of fight with them just emboldens them, it shows them you either don't know your rights or you are afraid of them.
I didn´t know my rights, actually! I just wanted to make sure she wasn´t in the audience, so I could sing freely and communicate with the audience without feeling her presence...how arty farty I sound!
Lauren, you were in my town (Ettlingen, EttLingen ;-)) and you didn't say anything?! Based on what you like to see, you should visit Schloß Favorit near Rastatt.

I have it on good Authority that a Fjällräven rucksack comes with a free North-German passport.
Lmao!
It's not unusual, especially for smaller, local newspapers in rural areas, to handle things like that. the reporter in question has to cover very large areas and most often verious dates an evening, so they will show up briefly, get a "general impression", and move on to the next occasion, wirting everything up that night or the next morning.
At school, when we were holding a concert, we always had to keep two seats free in first row for the press folks, which might be used for half of the concert time. It is an unspoken agreeement, then, that the general tone of the article is positive.
Led to the funny effect that once, we as the choir really messed a piece up for I don't know what reason. As the press guy had already left, he gave us a ravoing review for this exact piece, just reusing his text from the year before... 🤣
That said, even if "press coverage" in rural places sometimes hast to be taken with a grain of salt, on the other hand there is no need to be rude to guests and artists whatsoever. Especially not _because_ of that grain of salt thing. 😉
I am aware of what you wrote, but for me the problem was that she was angry with me because she´d been waiting an hour - but I didn´t know someone was coming an hour before the show to take press photos, or I would have said that´s too early. And absolutely, politely requesting and ordering are two different approaches.
You lucked out with your choir! ha ha!
@@LaureninGermanyIndeed, we were.
And in general, it is very impolite to be angry with someone who has just arrived. ((Unless it's someone who is always late, but that is an entirely different situation.)
Pretty sure no one is allowed to photograph you without your permission. Not talking about accidental photos where you're part of the scenery.
And not with a flash close up against a wall!
Lady: buh! Well done: You! 👍😉👋
Thank you! 🤗
Oh ok, I see what you did there 🤣 that‘s ok, little mistakes can happen. Also don‘t worry, we in EttLingen are very hospitable even if you call us Ettingen. We won‘t put you in front of a black wall 😂 to take your photo
LMAO!!! I am SO EMBARRASSED!!!! I am so tired and over-caffeinated... I can´t believe it. I am so SORRY!!!!
I am sad that you had that bad experience with this press person.
You did everything right! This is very bad behavior by her first announcing that she will write about the concert without visiting it and then harassing you to pose for a photo.
I hope the organizer of the concert will take care that this lady does not write any negative about you or the concert.
Me, too - that´s what made me feel so uneasy about the whole situation, thank you for understanding!
Wow, you've been to Heusweiler ? Quit close to me.
Sadly I didn't know about it.
Yes, the theme you talked about was a deep dark chapter in our history.
Ah, I think you would have liked the concert! I´ll be in Quierschied, I don´t know how far that is from you.
Yes, people in the area don´t know about it, but it´s wonderful what they did.
@@LaureninGermany When is it in Quierchied ? Not far for me.
We will perform a Nordic and Celtic music on 5th October in the Qlisse. If you come, say hello!
@@LaureninGermany Oh, that's long ahead. Sure I would love to say hello. And Celtic music is one of my favourit. Take care.
Maybe it´ll work out - yes, it´s a while away!
The difference between Norwegian nature and German nature... the German one is just holding on by a shread, 😅 it otherwise succumbs to the very force of German overregulations.
Yes, I agree, unfortunately. The tree situation makes me so sad. I hope we don´t lose any more beautiful German nature!
@@LaureninGermany Don't worry, most of the trees which die "lived" at the wrong place, only planted. The right trees on the right place survived. I saw a map which shows where spruce "Fichten" grew naturally and where they were planted. I think it was somehow 10 to 1! That means, the best is to leave the "devastated" areas how they are and let the wood grew.
Yes, rights are dangerous, but it would be better to demonstrate against the causes than against the exploitation.
If you mean against mis-information, and poor education, I´m with you. I can´t quite tell because of your wording.
@@LaureninGermany “Misinformation and poor education” are effects of the causes! The causes are, for example, lobbying, redistribution from bottom to top, massive political mistakes, see nuclear phase-out. I see myself politically on the left (real left) and see the main cause in human social behavior. It is the educated (rich) who increasingly take the stupid (poor) and then vote on the extreme right or left, see AfD and BSW. When you have to eat too many cakes, greed has reached its peak!
You were in Ettlingen near Karlsruhe but you pronounce it Ettingen (which exists but is located in Switzerland).
I know!!!! I´m sooooo embarrassed! When I made the video, I mistyped and wrote Ettinglen and when I corrected it, I left the L out completely. I really need sleep.
@@LaureninGermany No need to apologize, Auren. I love your charming voice.
Oh, thank you!
Looks like you haven´t seen too many regions in Germany? There are areas in the Taunus and Eifel region that are simular or even better. But as a local one hopes they stay the way they are and are not swamped by hordes as then they lose their charm.
Hello! I have indeed seen a few regions, but I didn´t expect that road to be so pretty. I´ve not seen much of the Taunus or the Eifel, I hope to change that soon. I was only in Idstein, so far!
If you valley regions like that, come and visit the Naturpark Frankenwald region! It has a beautiful landscape and lots of things to explore, its neighbouring regions the Naturpark Fichtelgebirge (marketing slang: Fichtel Mountains) and the Thuriniga Rennsteig & Saale Naturpark are very beautiful as well, when looking for nature and less crowded areas. Regarding Widerstandsorganisations of the 3rd Reich, I always had the impression, that people know about their local/regional ones, whereas only few come to be known on national level like Weisse Rose or those involved in the attempted murder of Hitler.
Apparently, people in the area don´t even know about it. Georg Elser is another brave man, they made a film about him.
Ahhh your region sound fabulous! I can´t wait to explore!
Maybe you are interested in Edelweißpiraten also!
Yes, I heard of them since I made this video.
@@LaureninGermany Great!
You drove through where I am home.it is amazing here I can show you many things here.
Never ever is now as we said after world war 2
Such a beautiful part of the world you live in!
Yes, exactly.
You are very lucky to be able to see so much of Germany. I wonder how many Germans even bother to see it all. I want to see some of the sites of the Saxon wars.
I tell you, since I built the van, my life has changed totally! It is fantastic being able to explore like this. Where were they?
@@LaureninGermany they happened from 772 to 804 between the Saxon tribe and Charlemagne. Das Dachtefeld - Süntel is one place.
@@cocobunitacobuni8738ah, I really need to learn more about Charlemagne.
@@LaureninGermany he was a bad guy, let's leave it at that.
Die Frau hat wohl einen an der Waffel, sie hinauszubegleiten war sicherlich richtig.
Ich dachte, Du meintest mich lol! Ja, sie konnte nicht akzeptieren, dass sie das nicht bekommt, was sie vor hatte. Ich musste sie in die Hand nehmen... Danke, Astrofrank.
Well, there are strange people everywhere.... did you ask this "journalist" for her name, or a legitimation? Its better to do so, in case it escalates and police gets involved ect.
Btw., have you yet been to the Westerwald or Siebengebirge? The region where supposedly the 7 dwarfs lived - "...hinter den 7 Bergen, bei den 7 Zwergen..." as the Brothers Grimm wrote. Its also very pretty there, quite hilly, but no real mountains like the name says. Tip: dont plan a bicycle tour there... :)
You find it on the right Rhine side between Koblenz and Bonn. Also the part of the Rhine is rather famous: its where the Lorelei Rock is, the "Bridge of Remagen", castle Drachenfels and some more castles and old towns.
I wouldn't agree that we dont speak about the resistance groups during the Nazi era. I watched lots of stuff on TV about it.
And about the current protests: today, sames back in the Weimarer Republik, the right is gaining support because the politicians in power are failing to do a proper job. So in my opinion, thats what the people should protest about, rather than a few idiots who talked trash in some back room. But thats just me...
She was definitely from the press, the organiser knew her.
The Siebengebirge sounds wonderful, thank you! I must go.
I don‘t watch TV! But the Junger Bundschuh is unknown in the area. I had only heard of Georg Elser and Sophie Scholl. Good to know it‘s on TV.
Diese Fotografin/Journalisten kann ja mal froh sein das ich nicht als dein Security eingesetzt wurde. Der hätte ich ein paar nette Wirklichkeiten erklärt und ihr nett den Weg nach draußen gezeigt.😂😂
Ich gebe zu, das hätte mir recht gut gefallen...!
@@LaureninGermany 🤣👍
A tale from the castle of Berwartstein.
I'm too lazy to translate, and you're doing well in the German language.
Unweit der Straße von Bergzabern nach Dahn, etwa in der Mitte zwischen beiden Orten, erheben sich über dem gleichnamigen Dorf die Ruinen der Ritterburg Berwartstein oder Bärbelstein, die durch ihre vielen Felsengemächer und in den Felsen gehauenen Gänge noch heute viele Besucher empfängt.
So gelang es denn auch einem lange Zeit davor lagernden Feind, trotz der lebhaften Gegenwehr, die Mauern der Burg zu ersteigen. Der Ritter fiel mit allen seinen Leuten in den Räumen des Schlosses, die sie Schritt für Schritt verteidigten, und niemand blieb von den Burgbewohnern übrig, als die Burgfrau, welche sich beim Eindringen der Feinde mit ihrem Säugling an einen sicheren Ort versteckt hatte. Als aber die siegtrunkenen Feuer anlegten und die Flammen die Unglückliche zu erreichen drohten, wollte sie sich lieber dem Tod als dem rauen Kriegsvolk übergeben. Rasch stürzte sie zu dem Söller hin und sprang mit ihrem Kind in das Flammenmeer, das sie augenblicklich verschlang.
Alljährlich zeigt sie sich einmal auf den Trümmern ihres ehemaligen Schlosses. Dumpf rollt zur Nachtzeit ein Wagen durch das Dorf, aus dem am Burgberg die Burgfrau mit ihrem Kind steigt. Hat sie die Burg erstiegen, so blickt sie mit Wehmut auf den Greul der Verwüstung in ihrem ehemaligen Haus und stürzt sich dann mit ihrem Säugling voll Verzweiflung den Fels hinab.
Aw… don‘t feed me sad stories!
@@LaureninGermany come on, don't tell me that the Welsh or British people have no sad stories / tales. 😔
@@danielkaufmann15seriously, I avoid them. I have my reasons for focussing on the positive. Things stay in my head. Send me happy stuff!
@@LaureninGermany A long time ago, there was a lady who walked alone on a German coast, suddenly she saw an old lady who was throwing starfish back to the sea.
She asked the old lady........
@@danielkaufmann15❤❤❤
UI keine Untertitel möglich Lauren. Schaaade. 😪
Es ist wahrscheinlich noch zu früh, weil ich es leider sooooo spät hochgeladen habe - die kommen erst später. Es tut mir leid - schaust Du nachher wieder rein?
@@LaureninGermany Danke für die Antwort Lauren. Ich schaue deine Videos sehr gerne, nur eben mit Untertiteln, weil es mit meinen Englisch Kenntnissen sehr nicht so weit her ist.
LG
Gerne! Ich liebe auch Untertitel, man bekommt einfach alles entspannt mit.
@@LaureninGermanyNun klappt es! Danke 👍👋
Ja super! Viel Spaß, und ich danke für Dein Geduld!
Beware of german photographers.
lol!
Dear Lauren, I'm following your videos now much over 1 year, it's always a pleasure for me to receive your foreigners perspective which is full of empathy and sympathy for us, thank you. Today a very first critic: You mention these recent protests demontrating against "the right" and you bring this people ("the right") together with former nationalsocialists during the Hitler-epoc. For me, sorry when I am wrong, the onliest explanation is that you are following a mainstream-media stereotype against "the right". I don't want to misuse you wonderful channel for political dicussions, the danger of provoking a further polarisation is too high for me. My only recomendation could be: Speak with and to the people, not only about them. Sure that a lot of "the right" appreciate your videos about our country very much. One of them: It's me. Greetings from the Mosel valley, not far away from Heusweiler.
Maybe I should have said far right? I mean the people who don‘t want foreigners, which I am, not conservatives.
@@LaureninGermany you did nothing wrong, Dear!
@@sisuguillam5109thank you, Sisu. This is exactly what I hoped you would say.
@@LaureninGermany Far right in the same sense of extreme as we find it in all colours and corners of the political and religious spectrum. I am a modern conservative, so far I am a "right", who lived 17 years abroad of Germany in different countries and cultures within Europe and Latin-America to which I feel and still have a very close relationship.
My critic is against a policy which opens Germany to cultures, who do not fit to the ours, who destroy our German culture, still in recent times, much more in a long term perspective.
Enough with politics.
I still appreciate very much what you are doing, independant if we fit in (stupid) polical questions. I wish you all the best, go forward, I follow your videos wherever you are in Germany, may be one day here in the Mosel valley.
@@rudolfclemens8798 oh, look... a rightwinger who wants to deny others something he felt entitled to.
How surprising.
Unfortunately quality of life in Germany has diminished in the last 30 years. For heavens sake Rheinland-Pfalz tries to hold the old quality.
I am sorry you are so unhappy.
Actually, it has not. It's just that you got thirty years older, and that changes a lot. You should take a few steps back and have a look at *any* generation and their laments about how "everything" has gone south over the "past 30 years", no matter what century or even millenia. We have texts from ancient Greece and Rome, and even from Egypt which sound exactly like your comment. That should give us pause and reason to see things with greater distance and calm.
Yeah, it's really bad living in one of the safest and democratic countries in the world!
This is how I feel, Mogon.
Exactly, Jay. I wish people could appreciate Germany more.
Please differentiate between 'the right' and right wing extremists. Not everybody who is conservative is a 'nazi'. Bring debate culture back!
I probably should have said far-right, but I translated in my head, meaning the demonstrations against what I have always seen written as "Rechts", probably have been shortened. I don´t mean conservative - I think it´s clear who I mean.
I certainly agree about debate culture.
