[@martinhuhn7813]

The sad thing is, that "Realer Irrsinn" is a regular element of the show, which never runs out of crazy burocratic nonsense to report. As in the second clip, sometimes the "rules" which are followed do not really exist and are pure fantasy of local authorities (zebra crossings in germany need to have A SIGN, not a zoo of signs). The regulation of the first clip propably exists (even though it can only be a local thing) and I feel bad for the city authorities which have to insist on it in public, once someone points it out to them. It is unlikely that the authorities investigated the pavement as their own initiative here and much more likely that sombody wanted to harm the person who made the new pavement and officially reported it, after which the authorities did not dare to refuse to care about it.

[@chubbymoth5810]

@Alexander Ratisbona No,.. they can not break their own laws. No government official can as that would make any law moot. They might change the law to take these kinds of things into account, but even then, they probably wouldn't as it is public land and they want to adhere to standards, possibly even some ISO certificate. An activist however might screw over all the neighbours and have them protest collectively and stir a ruckus when they all get a similar demand to replace their illegal road deck. That would fairly fast lead to changes. But until then the law must be upheld. Or you end up with a situation like the US, where actors in a coup are still at large 3 years after.

[@eastfrisianguy]

Extra 3 is great, I love the show! There was also a gentleman from Oldenburg (my nearest big city) and if I remember correctly he has fallen leaves from his property grabbed in a metal basket, which was mounted by the city on the street for leaf disposal. He lived on an avenue with a lot of trees that caused a lot of leaves and the trees are the property of the city. He was warned by the city for putting leaves from his property into the metal basket. The trees belong to the city, so they might as well pay for leaf disposal....not in any case. But the metal basket was ONLY for the leaves on city land, e.g. for the ditch in front of his house. So what did the gentleman do when no one was looking? He raked the leaves from his property, back onto the city's property and then he was allowed to put them in the metal basket. Otherwise, he would have had to buy expensive special trash bags for the leaves on his property. Total insanity, unfortunately exists millions of times in Germany.

I have one from my city. Recently the disposal regulations got changed so that we cannot have paper trashcans anymore and have to bring it to a disposal site. That wouldn´t in itself be a problem because we got two of these a few hundred meters walking distance away. Well, had would be more accurate. Because the city decided in their planing to make the city nicer to tear those down. So now the next disposal site is over 4 kilometers away. I now have to travel over 4 kilometers to empty my small paper waste bucket. It was also very succesful in making the city nicer. No unsightly paper trashcans and those dirty disposal sites anymore. Now the people just dump their paper trash in the street and greenery. Total sucess there.

[@Casanisl]

The joke from the first clip literally translates to "You want to build living room for two families, but all they do is put stones in your way" which is a typical phrase for putting obstacles in your way. So in the end the translation was correct, but the pun got lost.

[@Marifl]

4:10 You will most likely find this seemingly bizarre situation in rural areas. The plot of land is larger than the road that is actually been built to reserve a certain buffer zone. This is being done just in case the initially built street needs to be widened at some point in the future. Additionally, the city can use the buffer zone for paving a sidewalk if necessary. At this point in time it's still the originally built small street and there simply was no necessity for a proper sidewalk, so far. I was pretty surprised when I encountered a similar situation in Tirol (Austria) where the city expected the landowner to hand them a 0,5 to 1 meter wide stripe of land adjacent to the public street in turn for a building permissions. The reason being: the initial street was once only meant for 1 small farmstead but now, 70 years later, served a whole settlement. Therefore, the city needs to widen the streets if the settlement grows even further to prevent traffic issues as well as larger sewage system etc.

[@Psi-Storm]

They also need space for the service lines (water, sewage, gas, electricity). Nobody want's to rip up the whole street just to connect a new house on the street.

[@xxdomixx1085]

Where I live in Austria the city also reserved a plot of land left and right of the street. Every side is 1.2 meters wide. The difference to Germany is in Austria that we Austrians are allowed to actually use half of that plot (60 centimeters), but when the city wants to use it for, e.g. paving a sidewalk, we get a letter 2 weeks in advance and then the company just comes and tares everything down. on that plot. But that hasn't happened yet.

[@Marifl]

​@@Psi-Storm sounds absolutely bonkers at first, but that is actually how it's being done: Most communal supply lines are positioned somewhere in the middle of the street, and they actually tear open one half of the street to connect a new plot of land (usually happens only in super old rural settlements). If you buy a plot of land in a newly developed area with, let's say 50 plots, the individual properties are connected first, then the street's being built. This way it is actually more convenient because you only have to demolish half the street. Therefore, traffic can still run on the other side, which is still intact. Now you just need to connect your home with the prepared connection which is already been put somewhere on your property (typically within 1 meter away from the property line). BUT Germany would not be Germany if there hasn't been exceptions all the time. Best example is Deutsche Telekom. At first, they say: "We have no reason to install fiber-optic cable because demand is too low. Then an expert is being consulted by the angry local officials to check the demand. After some tiny period of 5 - 10 years, the expert concludes: "Yup there appears to be some demand". Report is being sent to Telekom. Telekom says: "Nah... maybe later... we don't think the report is accurate". DUMROLLS - another fiber company enters the arena, makes contracts with the local government, starts tearing streets open. People cancel their slow Telekom contract and connect to the ultrafast gigabit internet. Now Telekom comes around with some fantastic news: "POEPLE of XYZ Village - we have a godsend for you. As we are the most altruistic company on the face of the earth, we decided to rip open your streets again and hereby hand you the gift of an optic-fiber internet connection" Now you know how all this happens mostly all the time explained by a random guy in the comment section of a completely unrelated YT video, written in English, though I assume both of us are much more comfortable writing & reading in German as it's our native language (at least I suppose it's yours too, 'cause for some strange reason Germans tend to watch English videos of random foreigners reacting to videos about Germany & explain stuff the comment section afterwards) 😁😁😁😁

[@OrkarIsberEstar]

the idea behind a regulated building guideline is that a city has and retains its unique look and that there isnt someone ruining the view with some crazy stuff. say you have a beautiful old city of houses in yellow and someone paints it neon pink. thats kinda ruining the view. hence the idea is you have to get permission from the city if you do something with your house and thats why things like public streets are regulated. i am amazed he didnt get into trouble just pathing public streets himself as this again is regulated and has to be done by skilled workers to ensure a certain quality so you can rely on the path meeting some security standards (like anti slippery for elderly) Maybe you can relate this way - IF someone were to slip on a public street that is not paved in standard fashion they can sue the city for damages. They cant if its a standard path

[@yannickurbach5654]

Here's an idea though: If it's public land, and it's in public interest to have it paved in some specific way, shouldn't the city take care of it?

In my area a community has managed to do something similar to the zebra crossing signs with traffic lights: two consecutive crossings in a distance of 100m are fully equipped with traffic lights despite the fact that they could have built a roundabout really easily. There were no buildings or anything else in the way. The sad thing is that a main traffic route is often blocked because the traffic light systems of the two crossings aren't synchronized properly. So more often than not when the traffic light at the first crossing gets green the traffic lights of the following crossing switches to red. It doesn't matter in which direction your driving. In rush hour I try my best to avoid that area since it's a real mess. BTW the town council decided to build that crap.

Yeah... "Good wife." got lost in translation. It's "Good woman". "Frau" basically means "woman", but when you say "meine Frau" it means "my wife" in English.

[@NicolaiCzempin]

I wouldn't translate it as "good woman", too literal. "dear lady" would be closer to the actual meaning

[@Sciss0rman]

@@NicolaiCzempin Yeah, I was thinking about it, but I went with the literal translation. Now he has both, though. ^^

Please react to more episodes of this show, I love it

[@Razefummel]

[@niklas5166]

By far the best reaction on your Chanel 😂

[@SeekerTyp]

and just so everyone knows that Sat 3's "Realer Irrsinn" is some kind of satirical show

[@Cloud-dk4vz]

5:40 In Germany we say if someone makes problems: hes putting stones in our way. The Old man said: They say they make a lot of living room for poeple but in reality they are just putting stones in my way (The Joke is the problems are coming from his stones)

[@TVPro9061]

Please react to more, this is awesome!

[@kellerkindzuhause3009]

The signs in the second video we say: Sign forest, and we have so lot of it.

[@m_ananas1376]

Realer Irrsinn is a show i really love its always funny watching it when for example rezo (a german youtuber) reacts to it

[@simoncaspa]

Often in German villages you dont really have sidewalks on the smaller streets because firstly noone walks around because theres nothing to See and people tend to use the Car. And If you walk u would Just Walk in the street, villages dont have this much traffic.

Concerning the second part: I was nearly ran down by cars on two occasions last year alone while using pedestrian crossings. Admitted, most drivers (including myself) wouldn't need that many signs, but than again, one inattentive idiot would be more than enough. At least, this one couldn't say he hasn't seen the sign! 😆

Those are famous clips here. Every time I see one of them i feel like I woke up in a parallel universe that morning.

[@yuukis2021]

[@elisafromearth1445]
