Ach mein Sachsen das lob ich mir

8:48 - 9:17 this is my hometown Zittau

Most people don't know Götz at all in Germany. The interest raised in the last years since "Guts" the maincharacter from the Berserk manga has many similarities with him (despite the author had claimed that he didn't know about "Götz"). How about a Berserk reaction xD ??

well, there's also use for bottle openers - and they were often used in germany, "but": mostly in the household, but not outside. outside you don't normally have always a bottle opener (well, i do, but i don't have always my keys in my near - and then, people using that one wrong, 'cause they don't look at it and see that's disigned differently), so, there's literally "everything" used what could hemp open bottles... Knifes, forks, spoons, lighters, folding rulers, a beer crate, other beer bottles... and that's just a "tiny bit" what could be used.

3:00 that's because Americans always speak through the flower - as opposed to Germans, whose directness is perceived as rude (never been mentioned on an American-in-Germany channel before!)

you guys also dont have bushes with you but you always find one to beat around ;)

Actually I am shocked what kind of weapons you can legally buy in US...these are not for "self-defense" at all.

@2:01 I highly doubt a shop like this with these kinds of guns open on the wall even exists in Germany.

I recently had a letter of Götz in my hand, while researching in the archive. Incredibly delicate handwriting.

Swiss here. I've had a gun in the house ( Stgw 57, later Stgw 90 ) during my time in the military ( Swiss Milicia 1986-2005) and even for 2 years before that as a Junschütze, a Swiss Army sponsored gun training for teens when I was 15 and 16 years old. I was quite happy to return the gun to the army when I turned 40. With two small children in the house I didn't like the risk and saw no benefit.

Oh cool, 5:49 - 6:12 is my hometown 🥳 It has a beautifully restored old town (much more impressive than in this video tho). The best time to visit Görlitz is during the 1st weekend of July (Thu-Sat), when there is held the annually street theater frstival within the streets of the old town with theater groups big and small from all over the world. It's amazing. I moved away, but I always try to find a way to visit my hometown during that time 🥰

I'm German, and two of my cousins and a very good friend of mine own guns and are members of gun clubs (Schützenverein). My cousins have guns and are club members because their father is, so they grew into that, and the older one isn't even a bad shooter, he earned several prizes at regional shooting contests. But it's really not their main interest. My friend, however, is what you could call a gun enthusiast. Not a fanatic, but a guy who is really interested in the technology, the history, and also military technology. He has a whole room full of books and magazines about weapons, civilian and military, some dating back as far as the 1950s. You have a question about a specific gun? Ask him, he will know, but be prepared for a university lecture. I myself learned how to shoot in the military and afterwards made my civilian gun license. It's a long story, but in the end I decided to not join a club or become a gun owner, and I don't even know whether my old license would still be valid today.

I want to be a beer ambassador, too! I EXPERTLY drink beer!

Well, in "Mecklenburg Vorpommern" we have the most Lakes of every German state and a special Region where many Lakes are located called "Mecklenburger Seen-Platte", we also have the biggest Isle of Germany with "Rügen" where the "Kreidefelsen" are very popular.

Geht ne Bockwurst um die Ecke und kämmt sich und warum weil Pudding keine Gräten hat. (Go a Bockwurst around the corner and comb yourself and why because pudding has no bones.) Do you say if a joke wasn't funny

bite the grass (D) = bite the dust (US)

I have probably seen more privately own guns than most Germans. Starting with two fathers of friends with hunting licenses back in elementary school, later having friends in sport shooting clubs, a few more hunters, an acquaintance with a weapons shop and various bodyguards and security personnell. After moving to Berlin, i actually got to see a lot less guns! I even knew a guy with a concealed carry license for self defense purposes. He was a friend of my father and died a while ago under mysterious circumstances. Got his own wikipedia page for his troubles...

Actual beach ?!?!??

thats why america has a few 10000 gunvictims and germany has nearly none .....

Feli - Best german export

The nightlife in Berlin is amazing. It lioks gloomy in this video, but i think this video gives a wrong image. Nightclubs are open all night and so are many restaurants. Many berliners don’t go out begore 24:00

I'am from Baveiria/Bayern

That liquid bread thing is for real. First, it´s made of grain, too. Second, in the past, beer was provided to workers&employees for nutrition purposes - maybe containing less alcohol than usual nowadays (in Germany, not talking bud light stuff...).

If you ever happen to visit Sachsen, I would gladly show you around the Bautzen-Region.

Why Civilians are Civilians !?! Civilians are Civilians because they have no Guns !!! Guns are for Soldiers , Police man and Hunters but not for Citizen !

To me Denglish in an insult on two languages and basically shows, those guys cant speak either of the languages properly. Its a disgrace

i don't need a gun in Germany..short answer,,,we don't shoot puppies

One and a half years is a pretty good estimate. As a sport shooter, you have to be a member of a sport shooting club and association for at least a year, in which you have to train regularly, until you get the paperwork from them, which states that you are a sincere sport shooter. Then you take that to your local weapons authority, and they run the background checks. This can take weeks or months. After that, you get your licence, the so called "Waffenbesitzkarte" (gun-owning-card) that allows you to buy what you applied for in the first place, a 9mm pistol for example. Let's say you also want a revolver a year later. No problem. If you trained regularly in the last year, you can get your paperwork from the shooting association again, which is often a very quick procedure. Then you take that to the weapons authority again, and wait again around 2 months. With the new permission in your gun-owning-card you can buy the revolver, but only the revolver. Great, isn't it? Just to keep insane people and criminals away from guns. You just have to stay mentally stable in this process. Some rifles and shotguns are a bit easier to buy, but only a bit.

Make a video about Friedrich der Große (Der alte Fritz). He was one of the best leaders in german history.

I passed the exam for a hunting license over 40 years ago because, why not? I never actually got a license, but could if I wanted to (I guess the exam certificate is valid indefinitely - if I can find it). Then, buying a rifle is no big deal. Pistol or revolver? A bit more hoops, but still not very difficult. But why should I?

There is an expert for legal and illegal weapons and can also be found on KZbin. His name is Jörg sprave. He also translates everything in English 👍 He even shows weapons that are legal after he has modernized them

Thank you for "Hot Dog Butter", will use it from now on 😂😂😂

3:32 "That's why there are more gun deaths and school shootings in America than anywhere else! Because any moron can buy a gun!"

I guess in this specific case you are more of an expert than we are. For you've actually lived in both countries. Where do you feel more secure? In a country where everyone has to be suspected to have a gun or in a country where nearly no one is actually allowed to have a gun?

At the beginning of the 90s it was not so hard regulated and you could still buy a gas gun at the age of 14 without proof.. However, I already had a gas gun at the age of 12, I was at the time in a children’s home for difficult-to-educate young people and almost everyone had a gun there.. I decided because they had fun chasing me with a gas gun and shooting at me to get one myself and later I realized that I despise weapons through this experience and prefer to fight with my fists than hiding behind weapons never bought a weapon again.. who wears weapons to feel stronger is probably a cowardly pig that doesn’t have the balls to deal appropriately with fists.

5:19 For more people not that long... ...because if you don't have a damn good reason for it you're eliminated at the early stages and ain't getting any, period.

Regarding 2: In Germany there are also houses that only have one floor. Regarding 3: In Germany there are also houses with attached garages. Regarding 4: The doors in Germany have a small lever in the lock that you press down, then the lock is unlocked and you can open the door at any time without a key. Regarding 5: There are different heating systems in Germany. The most common is the radiator in every room. Then there is underfloor heating, which is built into the floor. And then there are heat pumps, similar to your central heating system, which can be used as air conditioning in summer and as heating in winter. Regarding 6: In Germany there is every kind of refrigerator. Integrated refrigerators, but also free-standing refrigerators. Completely according to your taste. There are also refrigerators with a freezer compartment, refrigerators with a combined freezer, i.e. with two doors, Refrigerators with ice cube dispensers or you have an additional freezer. Yes, we Germans don't live behind the moon either. Regarding 7: A closet is not part of a house, but a piece of furniture. Every person has their own taste. Nobody wants to take over old furniture from the previous owner. Especially if he doesn't handle it carefully. Regarding 8a: There are different systems for roller shutters. Like in the video that is pulled open and closed by hand or electrically. Regarding 8b: In Germany you can install or glue fly screens yourself without any problems. Because you have different window sizes. If a fly screen were to break in America, you would have to install a new window; in Germany you only need a new fly screen. Regarding 9: It always depends on whether it is an attic apartment. Not all houses have the attic converted into an apartment.

well, in my younger years I did have some interesting, kinda outlawed contacts. We had illegal rifles and guns around. Don't know how they got that but then again it was in the red light disctrict of Hamburg. So I had the chance to "practisse" privately far outside the town. But that is like almost 40 years ago. Shit I am old. LOL: But: I prefer nobody has a gun!! Especially males. sorry, not sorry.

How long does it take from start to finish? I think this question does not really apply to 99% of Germans. We don't think about buying a gun. The police and the military have guns, that is how we are brought up. The police and the military have guns, that's how we grew up. So I don't even think about buying a gun, because it's normal and clear to me, I can't buy a gun, period. I believe Americans make such a bit fuzz about it, as you grew up with a different connection to guns. I don't need a gun, I am save, why should I get a gun. Just my two cents as a German.

Finally something for what German bureaucracy makes sense 😜

i am a 38 year old german I have never seen a gun outside a police holster, i dont know anyone who owns one i would not know where i could buy one ... jaeh there are millions of guns in germany but i think its more of a village shooting club or village hunter thing ... in a city ... we had a hostage taking a few years ago in the city and the guy took hostages with a KNIFE ... says all (i mean even butterfly knifes are illegal here) but i like paintball i played that a few times xD hurts like hell but that is fun

If you are a sports shooter in a Shooting Association (btw i think the oldest german one is about 1200 years old located in Aachen) you need to be an active Member for 12 months to buy and own live Guns and Ammo, stored and transported according to law of course. But even before that - its possible to shoot air rifles (BB- Guns means Airsoft Guns over here) or even assisted shooting with an instructor with like a small caliber like a .22, a 9mm pistol or even a 30-30 winchester or bigger. But for younger members the guns are likely stored in the facility of the shooting club since gun safes are pretty expensive and hard to get into private homes. For Collectors there are many options but almost everytime the gun has to be disabled, so it is non functional and just for Display. For the Hunting-Part the community needs to help out 😄❤

No guns in Germany! 😅

The biggest difference is the fact that guns are not allowed for selfdefense but even then we still have a lot of guns 20 per 100 capita.

Well buying a gun Germany does not take long at all. Getting the "Waffenbesitzkarte" does. That allows you to buy and own guns. After that it is just going to the shop and paying and afaik you also have to register the gun to your license etc. Note, you are not allowed to carry. You have to transport it unloaded and locked in a secure way for transport. When you reached the place you want to do what is your legitimate interest for owning the gun in the first place -> shooting range, hunting grounds etc., than you can start getting it ready. If you want to carry, it's an additional license "Waffenschein" and you pretty much only get that in rare cases, when you do certain jobs. Maybe like bodyguard or driving a money transporter.

The main difference between Germany and the USA regarding guns is that in Germany under no circumstances will you be allowed to carry a gun in public open or concealed. If you transport your gun to the hunting or shooting range it must be unloaded and field stripped for the journey. I very much prefer the German way. US gun laws are the main reason I will never visit the USA.

It's easy, you just drive to easteurope or next big town trainstation xD

Whisky is distilled beer therefore just concentrated bread.
