25 Things You Didn't Know About Germany (BRITISH REACTION)

[@rwsrwsrwt]

While prisoners can't get punished for an (attempted) jailbreak on its own, they still can (and will) be sentenced for other crimes associated with it such as violence or damage to property. Unless the doors are open and they can just walk out a jailbreak will usually involve some kind of indictable offense. And if someone has help from the outside, the "outside" party can be sentenced for "freeing of prisoners" which is a criminal offense, so you're on your own if you want to find a way to escape without breaking the law. Even if there is no "official" punishment, an attempted escape will probably still affect the privileges being granted to the prisoner, including the chances of being transferred to an open prison or an early release.

Paris is the city in the middle of the Paris metropolitan area (A lot of administrative independent Cities that are geographically one hugh city) therefore Paris itself is small. Berlin included in the past a lot of smaller cities as Districts so the metropolitan area is more or less the same as the City and therefore Berlin is "Bigger".

[@KaiHenningsen]

The sizes of big cities are always a problem. What do you count? Well, it depends on why you want to know. Do you look at the administrative borders? Or are you maybe interested in how many consumers a big new shop might interest (where those administrative borders are completely irrelevant)? So you arrive at different kinds of numbers all jumbled together in these comparisons.

[@Kuhmuhnistische_Partei]

Yeah, it's really a stupid point. Like even my small hometome with 50,000 people is "bigger" than Paris by 7m³. It's really not that difficult for a place to be bigger than Paris proper.

[@herrbonk3635]

@@KaiHenningsen Suburbs should never be counted. The only measure that relates to how big the city actually feels is usually the central actual town in 1800s styles. As it was before marxism and modernist boxes kicked in, usually starting in the late 1920s or early 1930. So basically before WWII. Unfortunately, that makes it hard for places like Berlin.

Regarding TV: Paul Julius Gottlieb Nipkow invented the Nipkow disk in 1883 and patented it in 1884, later used for the early TVs, therefor is seen as the father of television. He was German. Ferdinand Braun and Jonathan Zenneck developed the cathode ray tube in 1897, a concept used up until this century in TVs. Both Germans. Max Dieckmann did show 20 images using such a crt in 1906. German. Boris Rosing was the first to send pictures using this technologie in 1907. He was a Russian. Wladimir Kosmitsch Sworykins developed the first television camera tube in 1923, which was first built by Philo Taylor Farnsworth in 1926. Russian and US-American respectively. John Logie Baird came late to the party, he developed further the Nipkow disk to make it more efficient and was the first to send an actual program in 1926. But that doesn't mean he invented the TV. Many people from different countries worked on this, especially Russians and Germans, with Germany being the place where all started (over 40 years before Baird's breakthrough). He played a big role in what later became a mass medium, though.

King Edward's wife, Alexandra, born Princess of Denmark, was a sister-in-law of the Russian Tsar Alexander III, whose wife was Alexandra's sister Dagmar (or Maria Feodorovna in Russia).

To point 9: This point actually goes hand in hand with the declining birth rate and population. They found that out of all the international students that come to germany to study a certain percentage will actually decide to stay (either because they found a job or because they... started a family) and it only takes a few of them to make up the tuition costs via future taxes. In short attracting young highly educated, potentially high earning people to your country pays off so make it as easy as possible for them.

[@hannessteffenhagen61]

@@robinte4601 Who said anything about being top anything? Regardless of _rank_, Germany's birth rate is below reproduction - i.e., without steady immigration our population would shrink - which would cause our social system to collapse, because of course before all the people die off they get old, meaning we'd have more people receiving social aid than people paying into the system.

[@incrediblyStupid678]

Number 9 is a bit iffy as a fact. The thing is that from...2007 or so to 2014, we did in fact have tuition fees. But this whole experiment was such a disaster and met so much resistance that many universities dropped them again more or less quickly, the last ones in 2014. Among many other scandals it came to light that, while introduced because people were worried about the financial stability of universities, those additional funds were often either wasted or invested to make more money. Many students also really struggled with tuition fees because this was a very sudden thing and our whole way of life is not really set up for something like that.

Tuition was introduced about 10 years earlier and was just 500€ per semester

Paris itself has set borders which it can never grow beyond. Although the metropolitan area continues uninterrupted and although you may not even notice crossing the border, what you would consider Paris seen from above is past a certain point considered a different département, with different laws (for instance, the construction of tall buildings is severely restricted in Paris, but almost unrestricted in its adjacent communities, which is why Parisbis surrounded by a few skyscraper clusters.

Berlin is really huge. When i used to fly to Tempelhof out of the window you just saw that giant, gray area of a city, surrounded by the green of Brandenburg. Also Paris itself is just a small part of what my may recognise as Paris but there are Nanterre, Agentueil, Cretail and others that ad to this metro-complex.

[@germanjake1288]

Yes thast probably a perception thing. Best example the biggest city in the world is Tokio with an area of 13,452 KM2 and a population density of 2771 per KM2 and 37 million citizens . 2nd one Delhi has only 3,480 KM2 so just 1/3 of the Area and has a density of 8800 people per KM2. It all comes if you incorporate the satellite citiy into the main cities administration or not. So Paris metropolitan area might even be bigger than Berlin cause when you see it your braind doesn recognise administration barriers :)

That green you saw probably was not Brandenburg. Berlin has 4 forests within its boundaries: Grunewald in the West(6000ha), Köpenik in the East (8500ha), Pankow to the South (8500ha) and Tegel in the North (6000ha). Brandenburg begins beyond those and sometimes within them. As for official area the city area of Berlin covers just over 890sq km while Paris covers 105 while their metropolitan areas stretch to 30 000 (Berlin) and 19 000 (Paris).

All the public Universities are essential free, even for foreigners - however you still have to pay for the local public transport ticket (usually like 200 Euros for 6 months) and some additional fees. However the average is like 300-350 Euros for 6months. The biggest catch however is, that foreigners (that are not from the EU) have to open a locked-account (Sperrkonto), this essentially pays out money monthly. Meaning you have to show beforehand that you are able to afford living in Germany without a side hustle or such. Usually the amount required is 1000€ a month and most of the time for the visa you need open such an account that provides "monthly income" for at least one year. 12 000 Euro can be a big "investment" for foreign students that "want to do study in Germany for free".

[@Anson_AKB]

running out of fuel is not directly illegal, but stopping on the Autobahn for non-emergencies is. and since there are enough gas stations almost everywhere and at any time, and you should watch the amount in your tank, running out of gas is not considered to be an unexpected emergency, and thus it is indirectly illegal to run out of gas. it's similar logic to "escaping from prison" which by itself is not illegal, but you would have to run through an open door or run faster than a guard who accompanies you to an external doctor visit. and of course privileges (including early release etc) because of "good behavior" probably also will be reduced or cut entirely. berlin which includes all the small surrounding villages in its area for more than a hundred years now counts as one city, while the "core" of paris is 9 times smaller, not counting its surrounding cities/suburbs. for the bridges, you have to consider the size of berlin and venice, and probably also that there are lots of other bridges besides those over water/canals (which are a lot), eg a rail on some kind of elevated dam which crosses lots of roads on short rail bridges, road bridges on crossings and Autobahn, etc thus lots of these facts in the video are not completely false but also only partially true, or now are outdated. they are only presented in this way and with this wording to make up some "interesting/wierd" top 25 list.

The schools were often closed in rural areas, as number of children declined for various reasons (in East Germany many people moved to the West after 1990). Also states wanted to save money and it is expensive to have so many village schools. So they concentrated them in smaller towns. You also need less teachers. The number of kids peaked in the 1960s like everywhere in the western world. Due to recent events Germans population grew again. Also the kids/women figures are wrong (like in most Western countries), as the figure is calculated based on how many kids a women has before a specific age (if I remember correctly it was 35).

There are enough petrol stations, so you can always fill up in time. That's why there is a penalty if the police catch you, because that's the driver's fault.

2:43 There is no specific law that says so. It's just a conclusion from another regulation. It is illegal to make stops on an Autobahn (§18 (8) StVO). As you have enough warning time that you should refuel, and enough opportunity to do so, it is not an emergeny. Thus it is considered an illegal stop if you run out of fuel. The problem with the TV is where you draw the line between "not yet a TV" and "a TV". John Logie Baird managed to transfer the image of a doll's head between a camera and a screen. He used an invention made by Paul Nipkow, the Nipkow Disk. Nipkow's problem was that he didn't have an element that was fast enough to convert light into current to reach an acceptable resolution. It took 40 years between Nipkow's patent (1884) and John Logie Baird's demonstration (1924). But two years later (1926), Takayanagi Kenjiro demonstrated a fully electronical version based on a cathode ray tube, albeit with less resolution than Baird. Philo Farnsworth in the U.S. and Manfred von Ardenne in Germany in turn presented their cathode ray based solutions in 1931, both with higher resolution than John Logie Baird. So, Germany, Scotland, Japan and the U.S. claim to be "the country that invented TV".

Germany is definitely not the most capitalist country. Germany is a hybrid system called "Soziale Marktwirtschaft" (social market economy) that combines capitalism with strict regulations to prevent anticompetitive industrial behaviour (e.g. to prevent monopolies), strong workers' rights, union/labour representation on company boards, a very strong social safety net, socialised healthcare (the oldest national healthcare system in the world that was started in the 1880s), and generous employee benefits guaranteed by law. It's slightly more capitalist than the Nordics, but compared to the US (or even the UK) it's very "socialist" (the quotation marks since the correct term would be social democratic).

Everybody can study for free in Germany but the problem is usually admission. With a UK-style education the minimum requirements for admission at a German university are 6 A level at Merit pass or better, 2 of which must be Sciences and one must be Maths but then you are free to study any subject...in theory. For more popular and oversubscribed subjects you have to apply at a central office which if they offer you a place will then tell you which university you are going to attend. Germany organized it that way on purpose after looking at the UK were a degree from Oxford or Cambridge is worth more than from other some unis and it is this situation they wanted to avoid.

Running out fuel on the Autobahn: only if you negligently failed to fill your fuel tank is it illegal. Germany has a very dense distribution network of fuel stations along the Autobahn, either as a direct service station only accessible from the Autobahn, or as a so-called Autohof, a car yard a very short way off the Autobahn (half a kilometer, max) virtually everywhere with a max distance far less than 50 km between them. So when your warning light for low fuel lights up usually you have more than enough time and fuel to reach the next fuel station. With the still existing no-speed-limit on major stretches of the Autobahn any car that runs out fuel often looses all hydraulic support systems like assisted steering, braking, etc, as many of these systems are based on the running engine, not purely electric. So a car at high speed suddenly loosing all these assistant systems can be a lethal danger to others and themselves. So the German street law made it illegal to run out of fuel DUE TO NEGLIGENCE. That last part is always omitted. If you run out due to a breakdown, extremely long traffic jams, a closed fueling station you had expected to be open, etc these are not fined. University without tuition: there are a handful of private universities that require tuition fees. But the vast majority however are free of tuition. There is however an administration fee of between 150-300 euros a semester. These include the semester ticket for the local public transportation network, Germany wide lower student entrance fees to museums and theaters as well as many other attractions, etc. So the benefits you get from enrollment in a university can easily outweigh the costs if you use them actively. There are however grade locked curriculae that might need a certain grade point average to enter. Also, not all curriculae will be taught in English, or rather, most will be taught in German. How do we afford it? All people pay into it via our taxes. It is an incentive for young people to come to Germany for their education. Often they still work part-time, paying taxes here. In addition, more than 1 in 5 stays in Germany after finishing their education which helps alleviate the aging population demographics of Germany. Especially when the students now being employed here form families. So we get intelligent, willing, open minded young people with a high degree of flexibility and work experience with knowledge of at least two languages living and working here. What's not to like about that? Perfect investment into our future. Only short-term costs vs huge long-term benefits. No brainer really, in my mind.

Students still have to pay a few hundred euro every half year when they don't want to take a loan from the state.

I'd think they're referring to Berlins area. I can imagine the Berlin metropolitan area having more people than the parisian one, but not that many more. While it's not a crime trying to escape, other crimes committed while trying to escape are very much pursued. The same for breaking prison rules. It is only the act of trying to escape itself that is not illegal. On the blockage of popular videos: Germany has its own rights management association, GEMA. pretty much every label is a member and the GEMA is known for ruthlessly following through on licensing problems, and not giving a shit about the artists wishes. Sometimes its even hard for the rights holders to get what they want in regards to fair use and similar. KZbin doesn't have an agreement with the GEMA and so everything on youtube isn't licensed, even if it's on the artists or labels channel. It's nuts.

21. Is wrong, they only Produce them "By the third quarter of 1932, the all-black SS uniform was designed by SS members Karl Diebitsch (artist) and Walter Heck (graphic designer). The Hugo Boss company was one of the companies that produced these black uniforms for the SS. By 1938, the firm was focused on producing Wehrmacht uniforms and later also uniforms for the Waffen-SS."

if you try to break out of prison you would be get a new condemnation for property damage or battery. without these there is no way out^^ and yes berlin is realy realy big.

The issue with schools is turned around now. We have way too many children (not only but high percentage refugees/migrated families) and way too few teacher, who are not valued and paid enough - especially at primary school level.

[@no-dg2vl]

Lol the daily news about the number of fleeing prisoners. Funny enough its usually some predator murderer from holland

[@DrOtter3000]

At 5:00 he says, that about 60% of youtubers are blocked in Germany. That is wrong. There was a time when there have been blocked a lot of music videos, because they used music that was protected by GEMA in Germany. If you want to know more about it, you can read it here:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_of_KZbin_videos_in_Germany

[@MrEQuecky]

Although birth numbers are lower, we have a lot of children coming into Germany due to immigration or rather as refugees. So schools nowadays rather have a teacher shortage. The population is not really declining.

The jailbreak itself will be unpunished, but it will be unlikely to escape without any other crimes on the way like destroying something, taking a hostage or hurt someone...

[@chakra7100]

As of 2023, Germany has a population of 84 million people. The population is rising again (so is the number of children) due to net migration.

'the most capitalst country in the world' What the fuck does that even mean? And how would Germany be on top of any list deserving that phrase?!

[@zoivac1048]

The TV actually was invented in germany like many many many other things and electronical devises, like the lightbulb, the telephone etc. BUT why do i actually only mention inventions who are offically invented by people from other states? The point is that the germans were smart enough to invent all these things in the past, but were dumb enough to not apply for a patent 🤣😅 So the TV (invented in 1886 by Paul Nipkov, a german technician and inventor) is like the telephone (invented in 1861 by Phillip Reis, a german inventor) a german invention, but other inventors from other states claimed these inventions because there were no patent registered and they said "wow cool, i could make money with these things!" 😅 But honestly i have to say that the original telephone from Phillip Reis were not THIS good in range and quality and Graham Bell has further developed the original one from Phillip Reis, what definitley was necessery.

Fanta has been invented in 1940 by Coca-Cola in Germany, so it has always been a product of that company.

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

1943...

[@magnustool]

​@@melchiorvonsternberg844 No. Wolfgang Schetelig developed the drink in 1940 because components of the cola drink were on the Allies' embargo list. The ingredients of this "Fanta" consisted mainly of whey and leftover apples. The drink did not have much in common with the Fanta that is known today. From 1942, the production of Coca-Cola in Germany was completely stopped and replaced by the "Fanta".

Hey, just one thing I struggle is: That Germany should be the most capitalist country in the world?! - So we have Social Health Care, Free Right of Study in University (without high margin of payment) or other social market based concepts woven into poltics. Yet we are ineed capitalistic country of course but the most is a exaggeration. Or?

[@thomasherreiner3583]

Very nice video - thanks a lot. Some clarifications: 0. Germany is defiantly not "the most capitalist country in the world"! Where here did he get that from ??? 2. Berlins is not 9 times bigger than Paris. Berlin has approx. 3,7 mio inhabitants, Paris approx. 2,2. So far away from 9 times bigger. 7. The population is not on decline, it´s slightly growing due to immigration. 10. Nonsense 19. No, South Korea has the lowest birth rate in the world Take it from a German 🙂

[@Timbuk24]

What about this blocked videos? 🥺

[@Gilder-von-Schattenkreuz]

1. Thats Common Knowledge. 2. This is Arguable. Between it Depends on how You count the Area and what You count as part of the City. 3. This is Correct. But pls note. While the Attempt to Escape is not a Crime. If You commit other Crimes toward that end. Like Hurting someone or Damaging something etc etc. These can still be Punished. 4. Didnt know that one actually. 5. Also common Knowledge. 6. Yes this is True. Because its Illegal to Block Traffic by Neglience. So You need to make sure you dont. Including that You need to make sure to have enough Fuel. 7. Didnt know that either. But mind You. Germany has over 20.000 Schools. So not sure with 2000 over 20 Years its all that Big as it Sounds. 8. I am not sure thats Accurate to be Honest. Because Ham and Burger are both English Words and I dont think the Name came from Hamburg. 9. You can still go to Private Universities where you need to Pay Fees. But these are Fairly Rare and more something for Rich People. As they dont Provide better Education but instead are more Luxurious. 10. Germany is very Strict on some stuff. So alot of KZbin Videos are Blocked. 11. Again Common Knowledge. 12. Also Common Knowledge. 13. I found that one Hilarious when I first found out. 14. German Nobility during that Time was actually very closely related to the other Monarchies. 15. Didnt know that one. 16. Yep. 17. Didnt care lol. 18. Only Half True. Because again the Numbers here are Contestable depending on how You count. 19. Thats False. 20. Didnt know that. 21. Didnt know that. 22. Didnt know that. 23. Also Common Knowledge. 24. Burning Trash like Plastics is Generally Illegal. 25. Again Common Knowledge.

[@karowolkenschaufler7659]

the fuel motorway thing... if your car comes to a stop on the motorway... that is a high risk for accedants. by being irresponsible and running out of gas (with gas stations along the motorway very frequently...... it's not as if it was hard to get gas) you risk other people's lives. I am german. did not know that that was actually illegal... but just by my own immedeat reaction to the thought of someone comming to a halt on the motorway out of their own neglect.... I would have made it illegal if it already wasn't.

[@no-dg2vl]

There is a scarcity of teachers and schools. Not children. The government is not really brilliant here either.
