How did Berlin become the techno capital of the world?

[@Shirley.Temper]

Probably because after the wall fell there was so much empty space in the old east of the city that it saw a cultural boom; artists, musicians and producers made good use of the space and set up their own clubs and creative spaces which, unlike during the DDR, would be limitless and they would have the freedom to express themselves more. Like most of the clubs you saw were in old warehouses or disused building (like the old Tresor was under an old shopping centre I believe). Most of these clubs became queer-safe-spaces and general safe spaces for creative exploration, and that’s why the clubs today still have that emphasis. Berlins always been a very artistic and creative city even from the 1920s so it bounced back in the 90s and just grew from there! It’s crazy the amount of history that actually the Berlin music scene actually has and it’s super interesting to read about

[@Shirley.Temper]

Hopefully he talks about this more in the next video because it’s so so interesting

I've huge respect for Germans and Germany in general. After all the tragedies and difficult situations Germans had faced over the years, they still fought back and built their nation. Their economy, education, social security, healthcare systems; all are well rounded. Most importantly, they are humble enough to revisit history and learn from it. I'm considering to pursue my master's degree in Germany and can't wait to study in this amazing country. Also not to mention, German language is very sophisticated and has a different elegance to it. Much love ❤️

[@xhen12]

Such a well researched and explained video. I learned and I wasn’t bored.

[@hugopepe1722]

it is not well researched, It is the retarded radical leftist point of view which is spreading more and more and is the reason why Berlin is a shithole/slum and needs money from other states. The city is ruled by communists, it has the shittiest education system (which produces more leftists) and is filled with people from the 3rd world.

[@sergiodelgado5332]

Furniture on the street doesn’t necessarily make a place “dirty”. And its not what makes it dirty in Berlins case. Although it doesnt help. It just has alot of straight up trash everywhere. Specially in the green spaces and streets, people just leave food containers, broken bottles, drug paraphernalia, and just random stuff. And its not just alittle its ALOT of it everywhere. Green-spaces are also not kept very well and theres lots of smaller vandalism as well. Lets not even mention the tag graffiti. Which to a point people can tolerate but there is not 1 empty blank space that doesn’t get tagged.

[@nkasdu]

that's true unfortunately :(

[@henriettelegde8518]

@Sergio Delgado, you’ve nailed it. And that’s what really bothers me about Berlin (and I am german), but also in many more huge cities on this planet. I dont know why people have to drop their trash EVERYWHERE and cannot keep places nicely and clean. I personally feel very uncomfortable with the dirt.

[@jocelyneke6445]

Furniture on the streets is opportunity to furnish your home for free.

[@jocelyneke6445]

Maybe have a civic group sponsor trash cans. It works. I'm concerned about the needles. Give people portable sharps containers. Also have public health workers go to a park once a month. People can turn in needles or old meds no questions asked.

[@Soldier_of_Life]

Love learning a little more about Germany in a fun way! Nice Work....

[@petergeyer7584]

Nice video. A couple of other things to add: One of the reasons Berlin is different and is related to your comment that it is a magnet for those who don‘t fit in in the rest of Germany is that young people living in Berlin were exempt from military conscription back when that was still a thing. That attracted a lot of counter-culture and activist types. Also, I had an interesting conversation with a young Italian woman. She loved Berlin because it‘s so clean. I guess it‘s what you‘re used to.

[@somewhereright3160]

Ich dachte immer, der Bär kommt von BERlin. Btw: Ich liebe deinen Humor xD

[@hannesmayer3716]

Durchaus möglich. Der Name Berlin stammt zwar wahrscheinlich von einem slawischen Wort für Sumpf, aber "redende Wappenbilder" waren im Mittelalter recht beliebt, auch wenn es nur zufällige Ähnlichkeiten waren.

[@walteredstates]

@ somewhere right: meintest du jetze: "Der Ber kommt von Bärlin wech", oder "Der Baer kommt *aus* Bärlin"..? .. oder gar: "Berlin kommt von [dem Wort] 'Bär'" ?? 😂🤣

"Why is Berlin so windy?" - Da lacht der Hanseat!

[@user-dq8km4zt7f]

I think that also the reason why some people might think that Berlin (and other bigger 'cosmopolitan' cities for that matter) is ugly, is because those big cities are getting more modern and more contemporary in comparison to smaller cities and towns that usually preserve that typical feel. I live in Belgrade in Serbia, and I can see that, comparing Belgrade which feel so strange and not cozy at all in comparison to some other smaller places, like Kragujevac, Novi Sad or Subotica

[@anuragbhattacharya2940]

You're talking about Berlin and I am ticking the boxes how all of these questions are actually valid about my hometown Kolkata. It has the same reputation in all of India because people misunderstand a lot of things about the city in which I grew up in and love the most. And this makes Berlin quite interesting to me. I guess it will feel like home if I visit someday.

[@NakulGanapathy]

My family’s South Indian and we’ve always viewed Kolkata as one of the cleanest North Indian cities as well as the gateway to the north east so we think the city is beautiful. Especially the cool ambassador cars as well as the beautiful architecture. Would love to visit someday

[@Roy-zu2vt]

Even the history is similar, we too were under Communist rule for nearly 30 years. Our general mindsets match with Berliners. I'm from Kolkata too by the way.

[@fjellyo3261]

I am from Berlin and live now in the Frankfurt area. I must say Berlin isn't much uglier than most cities in Germany. It's pretty average. And Berlin is just so big that you finds lots of ugliness and lots of beauty. Especially in the last 30 years Berlin became way more beautiful and gentrified 😂😂. Especially after war buildings are fugly, but you find these things in all cities.
