Leipzig is great, friendly persons, good food and the german wgt

Dresden. 🙈

[@thedarkmonadobenno764]

Definitely no!

[@mm.maxmartin]

If Deana really likes to live near the water, you should‘ve checked out the western part of Leipzig (Plagwitz/Schleussig/Lindenau). The Clara-Zetkin-Park and the Auwald are very close too. So, you would combine the best of both worlds there - the greenish parks and the water but also great industrial buildings with nice lofts and apartments. Did you know, that Leipzig ranks after Hamburg and Berlin as the city with the most bridges in Germany. It has actually more than Venedig - even though the ones in Venedig are a bit more beautiful 😜 The lakes south of Leipzig are great too... Especially in summer. Compared with other German cities the rents in Leipzig are super cheap. The city is kinda „hip“ with loads and loaaads of students. It is also quite compressed and not so copious like Berlin for example. You can go everywhere by bike but the Tram system is really great as well. The city is currently booming. Most of the empty places you‘ve seen around the city centre (west of the main station, south of the new town hall, Bayerischer Bahnhof) are gonna be new living space/parks in not even 10 years. With around 600.000 people living in Leipzig it’s not too big but not too small either. If you need more shops or whatever, Berlin is 2 hours away, Dresden 1, Fankfurt around 3 hours by train. The city is soo energetic but if you want it can be super classic as well (the old trade fair arcades, ...). All in all a great city (at least for me 😜)

I'm an American retired educator and have lived in this extraordinary city for 23 years. The love for my second "heimat" grows daily. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be here. I might add that I also have a second flat in Dresden which I enjoy having very much for the last 10 years. When asked about my preference between the two cities, Dresden is stunningly beautiful, but the spirit, general vibe , and university influence of Leipzig is where I spend the majority of my time.

[@derravensberger9395]

Fun fact über den Hauptbahnhof: Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts konnten sich die sächsische und die preußische Staatsbahn nicht einigen, wer den Bahnhof errichten und betreiben soll - im Ergebnis baute jeder seinen eigenen Hauptbahnhof. Da es sich um zwei spiegelbildliche Gebäude handelt, hat jedes davon einen zentralen Zugang und Seitenschiffe, weswegen der zentrale Bereich des in den 20ger Jahren zusammengelegten Bahnhofs nichts zentrales hat. Das Gebäude, das nicht erkannt wurde, ist das Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts auf dem Gelände der ehemaligen Pleißeburg (eine am Ende heruntergekommenen Zwingburg der Markgrafen von Meißen) errichtete Neue Rathaus.

[@sobelou]

Beautiful city, I want to go back. Looks like you missed the Thomaskirche. It also has a big place in history, it is the home of the Thomanerchor, one of the oldest boy choirs in the world at over 800 years, and which was for over 25 years conducted by JS Bach himself, who composed most of his choral work for this choir. And also the Gewandhaus Orchestra. Both institutions super high on the prestige scale.

[@Reani71]

You just visited my favorite city in Germany. I live in NRW since my birth, but I visit Leipzig on a regular term for 20 years now. There is something called WGT (Wave-Gotik-Treffen) which normally takes place there (this year it was cancelled because of the virus) and which is the reason why I go there once a year. I fell in love with the city, its people and the whole atmosphere there. It breathes history not only because of the GDR but also because of the many artists and writers who lived there. Ancient and modern bulidings come together for a unique melange you won't find anywhere else. When it comes to the Völkerschlachtdenkmal I recommend to also visit the Krypta next time which is a room in the basement. It actually looks like something from Lord of the Rings with its impressive architecture and huge statues and figurines. And there is much more to explore there. Leipzig has an area with several lakes where you can swim or ride a boat or cycle or go for a walk around them and I absolutely love the variety of restaurants and bars all over the city. We miss our Leipzig since we couldn't go there this year and look so much forward to it in 2021. The WGT is one thing, but we actually miss the city more than the festival, I swear... and that's what I say after experiencing both for 20 years.

[@holger_p]

Leipzig is still there, and you can go. What you miss is some special people there ;-)

[@michaausleipzig]

Awwwww ... thank you so much! 😊

[@swanpride]

Yeah, Leipzig is great, at least for a visit. I am not sure I would want to life there, though. It is in a way surrounded by nothing, which is geat if you love being out in the nature, but I personally prefer living in more populated areas. Plus, while Leipzig itself is Legida free, Pegida is very much active in the surrounding area. But Leipzig itself is amazing, and the people living there very open minded in my experience.

[@michaausleipzig]

@@swanpride it's not surrounded by nothing... There are a lot of hidden gems in the area. And I like that some cities are actually surrounded by nature. What a sad world it would be if all of it looked like the Ruhrgebiet...

I live in Braunschweig, been for business for few months in many cities in Germany, before I settled somewhere with my family (München, Ulm, Hamburg, Osnabrück, Stuttgart), but Braunschweig I would not change for anything. It's not so big like Hamburg, Hannover or Leipzig,, but big enough to have everything man can have in a big city. It's a city with all advantages of one industrial urban area, but with a lot of green areas, very nice and quiet and fantastic history. It is actually one of the oldest and most influentual cities in the whole Germany. It is also the city with most percentage young people in the whole Germany. Flat and house prices are higher than in a village, of course, not too cheap, but not so much in compare to Munchen, Frankfurt or Hamburg. Der Löwenstadt👍

[@rolandk.5720]

I visited on wednesday last week for the first time the city of Leipzig. And I was amazed. You don't often find the mixture of small-town-feeling in a major city. The public parks near the central city and the many interesting museums I found were amazing, too. And then the Völkerschlachtdenkmal. One of the biggest memorials in Europe. The City of Leipzig is, as far as I know the east german bigger Cities (Dresden, Halle, Magdeburg, Potsdam, Erfurt, Berlin), my favourite right now. Many young people, all friendly, musicians in the pedestrian zone, many Cafes and Restaurants. Do you have a favourite right now? How about Hannover? One of the greenest cities in Europe. And it is not as boring as many people say.

These are smaller towns, but some of them are quite lively, thanks to universities and/or tourism.

I think Dresden is also a beautiful city in the east of Germany. The history with August the strong is very interesting and there are beautiful sights like the church of our Lady (Frauenkirche), which was destroyed during the world War 2 and rebuild later. Greetings from a Dresdnerin

[@philipprichardt8057]

If Deana likes water go to Stade. It's a small city, the centre is almost entirely surrounded by water, it has an old harbour and it's only a few kilometres away from the Elbe.

[@irisb5923]

Next time Leipzig... go there on Pfingsten :D Would love to see your reactions :D

[@maxdodeck]

The Musikviertel is one of the most expensive districts of Leipzig. So I think the best choice for you is the Südvorstadt near the Karl Liebknecht Straße "Karli" :)

[@gabriellebecker5754]

Bielefeld! My parents emigrated to Canada from Bielefeld in the early 1950's. I love visiting my cousins in and around the city. Historically interesting, the linen city, Dr. Oetker, and not to be missed, Herman's Denkmal in the Teutoburger Wald. Great shopping and restaurants! Viele liebe gruesse von Gaby aus Kanada!

[@philippbruggerofficial]

Bielefeld don' t exist :D

... dann könnte Euch auch Erfurt gefallen, ab Leinefelde stündlich auch per Bahn in knapp einer Stunde mit dem Thüringen-Ticket☝️😉

my sister in laws mother makes cabbage rolls for holidays and I never had it ,now it is my favorite!!!

[@jjns5600]

Wow, when I was in Berlin I was told not to visit Leipzig, despite its historic charms and architecture because of attitudes towards "auslandern"! But I think I received bad advice. Thanks for bringing Leipzig to us! I will definitely go next time!

[@AzNgirlZoey]

I am a Ausländer, I grew up and lived in Leipzig for 20 years just fine! I was confronted with attitude in Berlin much more than in Leipzig tbh :D

[@fjellyo3261]

It's more east Saxony that is famous for that. Leipzig is very liberal, just like Berlin. And the bigger the city the bigger the attitude ;).

Check out Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia. Don't miss a boat trip on the Weser. Make sure to take the trip using the Locks to get to the Mittelland Canal. The Canal goes over the Weser river. A beautiful drive through the windmuehle strasse just outside of Minden is worth the drive.

[@TimWil]

I was there last October and one day wasn’t enough. It’s a very beautiful city. On my walk back to the train station I passed a TV crew shooting some police show. I flashed my Screen Actors Guild at an assistant director but she wasn’t impressed. I did my bit as a pushy American. And, oh yeah, I continue to love your videos. I want one in Hamburg!

[@Gerlinde_Gelb]

07:56 This is Leipzig's city hall "Neues Rathaus", the 114.7 meter high tower is the tallest city hall tower in Germany and the building is largest secular building of its kind in the world. :)

[@waldhessenoutdoor7916]

Deana, ich kann dich verstehen. Kohlroulade mit Kartoffelbrei, da lasse ich jedes 3 Sterne Menue für stehen. Liebe Grüße, Waldhessen Outdoor (der vom Achtermann)

[@erik1016]

7:56 it’s the new town hall

[@viniciusdossantos564]

Hey guys, I lived in Dusseldorf for a few months, then moved to Leipzig and stayed there for almost 2 years, a very nice and beautiful city, hard to make friends though, now I have been in Munich and I do not want to move to another place in Germany. When you are around here, let's have coffee :D

[@unit29909]

Oh no, you missed the worlds best restaurant! (But kudos for trying the Kollektiv) Next time you go to Leipzig try the Zest in Connewitz: www.zest-leipzig.de , you will be amazed. If you like the waterside and want to see a real gem of the hanseatic area go and visit Rostock. Its less then half the size of Leipzig but has all the hanseatic and baltic charm.

[@bartolo498]

Less than half is true, but misleading as Rostock is less than one third of the size of Leipzig. It does have around 200k but this is mostly because of the outskirts and feels much smaller. It is very nice, though, with the old harbor directly in the city, very walkable, and the nice beach at Warnemünde only 15 min S-Bahn away. There are also some nice pubs etc. and "student culture". But don't expect any big city shopping or clubbing etc.

[@lucasherrmann4216]

Volkshaus is also pretty good 👌🏻

[@bella_isabella1810]

Oh, that's so amazing! 😊 I'm from Leipzig and in my opinion it's a great city to live 😉 At first the many culture options 👍 Great that you are here 😍

[@melondasher]

6:25 Ach der Leipziger Hauptbahnhof. Einst der größte Kopfbahnhof gewesen

[@sarahidour5234]

i took the train from their on Christmas and that Hauptbahnhof was something! huge and beautiful, pretty much a piece of art! greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿 🇩🇪❤️

[@somersault4762]

Hi Deana and Phil, it's funny I've been there as well in September. Woud have been really nice to meet you guys on the street. You should have visited the Zoo. It was incredible. However I was a little disappointed by the Völkerschlachtsmuseum from inside and the little Napoleon Museum next to it. However the size of that building is impressive. In the park next to it is a crematorium with an old cemetary. Sounds weird - but it's really pretty and calm there. The sound in the Thomas Kirche was really great too. I was lucky been there during a choir practice.

[@propolispropolis657]

Leipzig is so gorgeous and I know a lot of the locations you show. I am very glad that you also love the city. Greats from Berlin. But there are lots of rivers and canals

[@van03de]

Best German cities at the water: Lübeck (Baltic Sea and River Trave), Leer (Rivers Ems and Leda), Hamburg (Rivers Elbe and Alster, more bridges than in Venice), Wismar (Baltic Sea).

[@hhbased]

Totally agree. Especially about Lübeck and Leer

[@haisheauspforte1632]

Flensburg, Kiel and Rostock are also at the sea

[@hhbased]

@@haisheauspforte1632 sorry I studied in Kiel but i wouldnt say that Kiel and Rostock are particularly beautiful cities

[@mandibiedermann2246]

@@hhbased Rostock is very beautiful, is an Hanseatic city

[@haisheauspforte1632]

@@hhbased the center is ugly but Kiel is very livable, there are very nice residential areas like Ravensberg, Blücherplatz and Schreventeich. It is not as attractive for tourists but the city in the whole is not that bad.

[@jaymurr6788]

I am from Toronto, and Torontonians believe we live in a world class city. When I visited Hamburg with my wife and her family I had a new bar for world class cities. Blankenese is a lovely suburb that is overlooking the Elbe.

[@tonikerschke]

Habt ihr auf den Weg nach Leipzig 'nen Halt in Weimar gemacht? Lohnt sich

[@ole7236]

Weimar ist meine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland.

[@tonikerschke]

@@ole7236 Ist auch 'ne sehr schöne Stadt mit viel Kultur. Hab 3,5 Jahre dort gewohnt.

[@PistolPC007]

We moved to Leipzig 3 years ago. My wife transferred here (I'm retired). As you said Leipzig is the "new" Berlin. It is the fastest growing city in Germany and it was voted the best place to live, in Germany. I am still learning German, but there are more people, than I thought, who speak English, or passable English. I had my reservations about coming. I thought it would be dirty, ugly etc, but it is not. It's very beautiful. There are plenty of lakes, natural and man made. There is Belantis, an amusement park that is next to one of the four lakes. In addition to the park you can walk/cycle around the lakes, picnic, boating etc. Leipzig is pretty flat, so if you like running, walking or cycling you won't beat yourself up getting around. I do like the fact that there are a lot of people who cycle for exercise and shopping. It brings back memories of days gone by.

[@potatophil8432]

"Thüringische Rostbratwurst" or "Sächsische Krautrolle"? :D

[@DeanaandPhil]

😍 feeddd meeee

[@Ashley-jp4nn]

Deana and Phil I want to try both 😫

[@Fossi_sb]

Thüringer Bratwurst - pls :)

[@sarah-jl8cr]

Though it tastes good here as well, to actually get a real "Thüringer Bratwurst" you have to got to Thuringia. The real ones can't be exported outside the state and only freshly bought at a butcher's shop :)

[@oggurke]

there is a variation of the Krautroulade called Schredderkohl. basicly it is the same meal but chopped to pieces. it does not look nice but it tastes great.

[@alienrat-z3g]

Leipzig is so cool!!!

[@jonasj8725]

You might continue your journey in "Eastern" Germany and come to Dresden. This would be perhaps (after Berlin) a typical electoral/ royal residence city and is one of the prettiest in Germany.

[@linnuewinnue]

My family is from Chemnitz and the area around, I always loved to visit Leipzig when we were visiting my grandparents^^

[@MiiLka_cs]

Grüße aus Leipzig, ich finds geil wie ihr die Stadt zeigt

[@sysimusta3661]

Please stay here. You can have it all here. Parks, party, international football team, nice concert locations, tons of history and most importantly we are insanely cool people. We really are!!! Come back on Pfingsten 😁
