German Reaction to TOP 10 Places to Visit in Poland

[@paulinarapicka]

That building with a weird shape in Gdańsk is "Żuraw Gdański" (Gdańsk Crane). It is a historic port crane and one of the water gates of Gdańsk, located on the Motława River, at the end of Szeroka Street. It is one of the branches of the National Maritime Museum in Gdańsk and the largest and oldest of the preserved port cranes of medieval Europe

[@simi1950]

you can find that building remade in Witcher 3 main city ;)

[@jerzysamborski5612]

Szeroka Street? You mean probably Gługi Targ. In translation it would be Long Market.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Just next to Cracow is another site listed at the UNESCO List of World's Cultural Heritage - the Wieliczka Salt Mine. It's also a place that is visited by majority of foreign tourist visiting Poland. Inside the mine there are beatiful chambers, including a big chapel, fully made of salt.

[@niktniewiem4785]

Yesss, Kraków and Wieliczka are a must see in Poland.

Maybe his gathering informations so he knows what's the most attractive to him. I mean i can't believe that a german can't afford a ride to Poland. We are neighbours and a lot of germans visit the east part of Poland you can always see them on trips with a german-speaking guide there. Hope we'll see his own perspective on those cities/UNCESCO heritages.

[@witbaczek4824]

thanks Chris for emphasizing what I wrote in the previous video. that these were German camps on Polish lands and not "Polish camps"

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Look at the comment below of some Czech saying that in Auschwitz Polish were worse than Germans. No words. I don't have the mood to go into discussion with such person, and probably it's pointless. Afterall, everyone knows that these were Polish who murdered the Jews, and of course it was Polish who collaborated through the whole WW II with Germans (it's of course irony).

[@chris.poland]

You are welcome 😊 In Germany we mostly say Auschwitz (its by far the most popular one) or we call them Konzentrationslager in Polen (so concentration camps in Poland) but never polish concentration camps and even if we would call them this everybody would this still know. This whole topic, was never a thing and completely new to me, how anybody could think that those were run by poles 😅

[@chris.poland]

I dont know much about this, but I am sure, that in the end the Germans / Nazis (because this was nothing anybody of the normal people in Germany wanted, the war maybe, the holocaust surely not) still probably had the last word.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

​​​​​​@@chris.poland You know, if You delete our comments, You should also delete such comments as I mentioned earlier that out of any context and truth say that Polish were in Auschwitz worse than Germans and that Polish collaborated widely with German Nazists during the war. Because it's a huge lie. Not true at all. And actually it's very similar to using such terms as the "Polish concentration camps". You should not use censorship in such a selective way. By the way, everyone should read about (and these are only some examples, there were much more), about the Ulma Family or Irena Sendler.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

​​@@tomcioraj1464Everything is true what You wrote. And the photos of Czesława Kwoka, made at the beggining of her imprisonment in Auschwitz, are so incredibly moving, so extremely sad. She was only 15 years old. We see so young, pretty, innocent girl, almost still a child, with her head shaved, scared. She was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. I cannot look at that picture of her without tears in eyes. One should add also that in the whole Warsaw Uprising in 1944 actually 200 000 civilians were killed.

2:32 - Tadeusz Kościuszko, who was a Polish as well as American hero. He faught for Polish independence in the Kościuszko Uprising against Prussia, Russia and Austria in 1794. He also fought for the independence of the USA, in the American Revolutionary War. He spent in America the years 1776-1784. He is very well known in the USA and there are a lot of monuments of him there. The other Polish, who like him was a Polish as well as American hero, who fought for the independence of the USA, was Kazimierz Pułaski (also very well known in the USA).

I think the last palace you liked is Branicki's Palace in Białystok. There are many more cool places that weren't shown here like the Wieliczka Salt Mine, the Białowieża Forest (the only primeval forest in Europe), Bohoniki and Kruszyniany - the old Tatar mosques, Zamość - the ideal city built in the Renaissance era. Generally, Poland has many Renaissance sites as we had the second longest Renaissance era after Italy. BTW the building in the centre of Kraków square market is a medieval shopping mall.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

And in Cracow You can see also in the Czartoryski Museum one of the most well known paintings of Leonardo da Vinci titled "Lady with an Ermine" ("Dame mit dem Hermelin").

[@Ig_Grun]

I rally recommend you eastern Poland, IT is much more Wild and also there are a lot of interesting place for example Zamość or bialowieża, The oldest Forest.

[@MayaTheDecemberGirl]

Yes. And it's worth to add that these both places - so The Old Town in Zamość as well as The Białowieża Forest (National Park) - are listed at the UNESCO List of World's Cultural Heritage Sites.

[@cpt.flamer7184]

The building in the middle of the marker square in Crocow is the Cloth Hall, it was basically a medieval supermarket ;p Just permanent stalls where vendors were selling goods, mostly cloths, as the name suggests ;p

[@darksonlolo6039]

It's sad to see how the Germans destroyed 80% of Polish cities, but I'm glad that young Germans understand what evil was committed.

[@publicminx]

actually not just younger but also many older German generations didnt like the destruction. Keep in mind that especially Germans who lived their lost their homeland/cities they were born/grown etc.. And this is not meant as German or Polish question but just as shared history of people who lived in such regions/cities (Germans as well as Polish and other ppl) and had of course usually much more associations, connection to the history, experiences and soon than many 'outsiders' irrelevant from where. And lets be realistic: how much could you do as ordinary ppl living there about the politics of the different empires? Even today, if you via time machine went back in time and be just such an ordinary citizen then the most realistic acting (knowing the future) was basically to move fast enough away from all future war zones (irrelevant of being German or Polish) ...

[@felix8169]

Certain parts of Poland have been omitted here. Let me recommend Lednica/Dziekanowice in Greater Poland. I write together because they are within walking distance of each other. The first is an island-one of the first three capitals of Poland (Gniezno - Ostrów Lednicki - Poznań (rex ambulans)) an atmospheric and archaeologically valuable place, the second is an open-air museum with examples of rural buildings from the 16th to the 19th century. In northeastern Poland, on the other hand, you have Kruszyniany - the home of the Polish Tatars, with their culture and heritage, Bialowieza Forest - the largest natural forest in Europe, or Garbarka - the holy mountain of the Orthodox Christians. I think these places will surprise you more than Breslau, which, after all, gained its present shape during the Second Reich.

[@felix8169]

I like Torun a lot, but for you it may be very similar to other Hanseatic cities and thus less interesting.

Thank you Chris for your commitment to what you do. I am Polish and my attitude towards Germans is negative. It's more about historical events that happened in the past. The majority of society feels similarly. I wish we could live and build relationships as friends, for our children and their future. Forget about all the evil that happened in the past and look forward. You are a young man and I hope you are not doing this just for popularity. Know that I appreciate and respect you for what you do. Greetings from Poland Take care 👍 ❤

[@chris.poland]

Yes it the attitude is very negative and I have to say if I wouldn't get so many positive comments I would probably already have quit. I am interested in Poland and I like to entertain people, so I can do both at the same time here. And of course If I would get only 10 views, I would probably stop making those videos, because they take much more time, then it seems (it seems like a 30minute thing I know), always 3 hours to make and if you are a bit tired or one thing isnt charged, you cant record, because nobody would want to watch that. Also I am probably 3h every day here only replying to comments😂. My dream is to be able to make a living out of entertaining people and bringing people together 😊

Poles don't like the Palace of Culture and Science very much because it reminds us of our history, while foreigners admire it 😉 It is a gift from the Soviet nation to the Polish nation, it cost Warsaw 170 pre-war tenement houses and a complete change of the city's urban layout and changed it forever, but that was Stalin's plan so that Poles remember who rules them. The symbol of brotherhood was in fact a symbol of subordination to Joseph Stalin and the USSR. If you want to visit Auschwitz, think carefully and prepare in advance. Once you go in there, you come out a different person. I've only been there once and I'll probably never go back. It was a terrifying experience for me

When talking about Auschwitz one should read the memories of Wilhelm Brasse titled "A photographer from Auschwitz". He was Polish, coming from Żywiec in the South of Poland, in the Beskidy mountains (Germans named it: Saybush). Before the war he was a photographer. He was Polish, but his grandfather was German (from Alsace). When the Germans came to Żywiec, he didn't want to sign the Volksliste, saying he is Polish (his parents were Polish patriots). He was imprisoned and taken to Auschwitz. Knowing German language, he was forced to take pictures for Germans of the prisoners, on the first day of their arrival to the camp. Also many other photos of the victims, including victims of Josef Mengele, often children or young teenagers. He refused to burn and saved about 40 000 of those pictures (when Germans were evacuating the camp), and those pictures were evidence in the trials of the Nazists. After the war he tried to come back to the proffession of a photographer, but he couldn't. Everytime when he took a camera, he saw before his eyes the people from Auschwitz. He had to stop being a photographer. And he also couldn't use German any more for more than 50 years, although he knew it well - only after 2000, when he met a German tourist asking him about sth, he managed to talk to him in German. He died in 2012. There was a whole documentary film about him.

[@publicminx]

cities like Gdansk/Danzig are also interesting from a greater cultural perspective. The city became one of the more important (and wealthy) member of the 'Hanse' (Hanseatic League). The Hanse (from which the German airline 'Lufthansa' also got its name from) was found in Northern Germany (back then part of the Holy Roman Empire), likely at first in Luebeck with a fast connection to Bremen and Hamburg then over time stretched from today Iceland, UK, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Poland over the Baltics to Finland/Northern Russia. It was a network/league of more or less independent (and associated) merchant cities which resulted in THE dominant Northern Trade Empire - and is still today considered as one of the most successful trade alliances in history. Oversimplified one could say on the other side was Venice and a few more independent cities and on the Northern side the Hanse. Both lost this position and significance when the Oversea/Trans-Atlantic Trade an over-land traffic became more the next big thing. But from the Hanse you still have many stereotypes about medieval pirates, sea shanties, medieval harbor/merchant guilds and cities etc. - as you often have in phantasy books, MMORPG games and so on (the later variations of the same in more modern times were kind of the 2.0 version, just more with oversea settings). Anyway, similar to Edinburgh/Scotland, Brugge, Bremen, Luebeck, Hamburg, Rostock, Magdeburg (btw, also Berlin, Cologne, Dortmund etc. were members after this alliance also reached deeper into the countries/HRR) to today Poland with Braunsberg/Braniewo, Elbing/Elblag, Danzig/Gdansk, Kulm/Chełmno, Thorn/Toruń, Marienburg/Malbork, Krakau/Kraków, Breslau/Wrocłav, Stolp/Słupsk, Rügenwalde/Darlowo, Kolberg/Kołobrzeg, Kammin/Kamien, Gollnow/Goleniów, Stettin/Szczecin, Stargard/Stargard Szczeciński to the Baltics, Belarus, Finland etc. And because of that and with more awareness about history and medieval times cities like Gdansk (and others) are even more interesting. And old medieval cranes (many were kind of 'round wheel cranes' back in time) are not just interesting, because of being a proof that they existed already in the middle age, but also how different the technical aspects were. Apropos: the small channel townhouses in Amsterdam (which was btw. back then still a less significant town) have also still old mini cranes to move furniture and in older times also goods into the house, because inside the house the entrances etc. are to narrow. And similar was the situation in many medieval cities: the small house are often the result of not having much space (also due to regulations) and rather building small but higher. Gdansk became also a bit later kind of the core cities of the Hanse with Luebeck, Hamburg, Bremen etc. ... and if you compare the old houses in Gdansk then many comparable houses in Luebeck or Bremen look even more similar than the one in Frankfurt (because all share a bit of a that more Northern style) ...

2:05 nice question bc it's one of popular Kraków's legends - "The bugle call is played every hour from the upper tower, while the church bell called Półzygmunt hangs in the lower tower. Unfortunately, no architectural plans have been preserved that would explain the different heights of the towers, but a certain bloody legend is widely known. During the reign of Prince Bolesław (1243-1279), it was decided to add two towers to the church standing on the Main Market Square in Krakow. Two brothers took up this task. When the younger one realized that his work was progressing slower, out of envy he murdered his brother with a knife, and the construction was stopped. However, remorse did not give the murderer peace - on the day of consecration of the temple, he stuck a knife into his heart and then threw himself from the top of the church tower. The knife he allegedly used hangs in the Cloth Hall to this day, recalling this grim story" (btw, you could Btw, i REALLY recommand you visit in Kraków, it's one of best tourist spots in Poland. 4:30 good to know TwT some Poles are not so sure if it's a known fact in Germany so it's nice to hear that you are aware of this c: 8:48 hahs pretty nice pronunciation (with that lil german accent~) 9:34 it has different (and more modern) architecture excactly bc it was destroyed while ww2 and rebuilt literally from scratch (as it was said in the video) We hope you'll visit Poland soon 😎

Towns look "german" couse we are in germanic culture circle with bits of italian and french sprinkled in - law, urbanization and styles were copied from Holy Roman Empire and it's further descendant countries. Oldest towns were set up based on Magdeburg Laws. Many of cities were also under direct control of various german states over the years, which also added to the look. Cities like Gdansk are also specific since it was a Hanse city so it developed just like all other cities of the League

Wiele miast w PL w średniowieczu zostało założone na prawie magdeburskim, dlatego może się Tobie wydawać, że Wrocław - StareMiasto jast taki podobny do niemieckich miast. Nie tylko Wrocław.

Many other cities are not mentioned here (such as Toruń, Poznań, Łódź, Lublin, Zamość, Sandomierz, Kazimierz Dolny and many, many others), there is no mention of the Bieszczady Mountains, the Świętokrzyskie Mountains, there is no mention of vast forests or wonderful reserves. nature - such as Biebrza National Park, Białowieża National Park, natural river banks (not concreted as in the case of most rivers in Germany), etc. In free time, I recommend use of regular Google Maps in satellite view and the photos/streetview shared there...

Governor General Hans Frank planned to turn Krakow into a city intended exclusively for Germans. He himself occupied the chambers of the Wawel royal castle as his place of work and residence

Moszna castle is beautiful. (near Opole) it's look like Hogwarts

[@Delenea]

Not every Pole likes and appreciates the Palace of Culture and Science, as it was a "gift from the Soviet nations" built at Stalin's suggestion in 1955. Besides that, I would add the sand dunes, which have already been mentioned in other films, and the Białowieża National Park to the list. Additionally, if you enjoy food and like exploring different cuisines, Poland has many regional dishes in almost every part of the country ;) Sure, some things are considered national treasures like pierogi, rosół, or bigos, but you can't forget about kartacze, potato babka, moskole with oscypek, Silesian dumplings with roulade, St. Martin's croissants, and the very expensive symbols of being by the sea - waffles with whipped cream and fruit 😂

[@ukaszszczepanski7441]

You are very right by saying that some of these places look like they could easily be in Germany. That's because they were Germany before WW2. I'm not entirely sure but I think all Polish western part was historically German. We have been pushed a bit west by Soviet Union after the war as they wanted our eastern parts for themselves and to be closer to the west.

[@tomaszs2426]

If you want to understand why there are similarities to other countries and even find answers to simple questions, you should look for films about the history of Poland, one shown on the map and the rest in general. The borders changed dramatically many times, there was even a moment when the country was erased from the map for 123 years.

2:00 Bro, check this👇 The legend of the two St. Mary's towers The towers of St. Mary's Basilica, as you can easily notice, are of unequal height. There is a bloody legend associated with this architectural inconsistency. The bugle call is played every hour from the upper tower, while the church bell called Półzygmunt hangs in the lower tower. Unfortunately, no architectural plans have been preserved that would explain the different heights of the towers, but a certain bloody legend is widely known. During the reign of Prince Bolesław the Chaste (1243-1279), it was decided to add two towers to the church standing on the Main Market Square in Krakow. Two brothers took up this task. When the younger one realized that his work was progressing slower, out of envy he murdered his brother with a knife, and the construction was stopped. However, remorse did not give the murderer peace - on the day of consecration of the temple, he stuck a knife into his heart and then threw himself from the top of the church tower. The knife he allegedly used hangs in the Cloth Hall to this day, recalling this grim story.

Nie znam niemieckiego ani angielskiego- tłumacz Ci przetłumaczy. W XIV wieku w Polsce budowano miasta na prawie niemieckim: kwadratowy rynek i w środku ratusz, oraz na prawie lubeckim: długa ulica targowa, prowadząca do portu. Polskie Ziemie zachodnie, to dawne ziemie Piastów polskich, później ziemie niemieckie, stąd podobieństwo do miast niemieckich. Pozdrawiam❤

[@dagmaramally3287]

@@tomcioraj1464 Poznań nie leży w zachodniej części obecnej Polski. Nie możemy, co do centymetra na mapie, mówić o tzw. Ziemiach zachodnich. Historycznie mówiąc, książęta piastowsy rządzili Dolnym Śląskiem, później przejęli to Czesi, czyli książę luksemburski i w końcu nasi sąsiedzi zza Odry.

And when talking about Poznań, one should remember two Polish uprisings (victorous) against Germans: in 1806 and later in 1918-1919.

Maybe you can show us what is worth visiting in Germany. Any suggestions for a citybreak. Which castles (and you have many) are worth seeing. Personally, I have only visited the island of Usedom from Peenemünde. Greetings

That is totally not my region of Germany 😂 The thing is Germany is so divers. You go to another village in Bavaria 3km away and they speak a totally different dialect, its crazy.😂 I am sometimes thinking about doing another channel, Germany explained, but right now, I first have to get organized here, so that I not always produce the video on the upload day (guess what today is upload day and I havent recorded yet 😅) but have them maybe a week in advance for when I get ill or stuff. And then maybe, I have more time. Because I also thought I maybe start a channel about High IQ and stuff, because many asked me about that and maybe this would be interesting, but I would have to decide because I certanly cant do both, without a cutter, so somebody that edits my videos. But of course I would have to pay them, and they are expensive 😊
