Germany's Miniatur Wunderland is Insane

[@Torfmoos]

And don t forget the Video is over 10 years old. Now a new Building was connected with a brige and Southamerica was installed. They working on a IT controlled Formular one race in Monacco for over 8 years now while have done France and Italy years ago. You should def check their channel. It will blow your mind.

This video is 10+ years old ... they expanded a lot since then and allready exeded 1.000.000 working hours to build it. Just recently they opened the Patagonia and antarctica section

[@franhunne8929]

Another American KZbinr has just visited it - and he said - I was in there for 6 hours - I could easily spend four times the time and would not have seen every detail!

[@angiewegenerdjmetalamazon4468]

I love the "Wunderland", a good friend of mine works there as a model builder. :D

My hometown...Hamburg meine Perle ❤️

[@jensschroder8214]

I was there in 2023. It is in H0 scale 1:87. The standard track width is 16.5 mm instead of 1435 mm. The trains are controlled by signals and a complex computer system. Some of the car and truck models drive themselves and are autonomous robots that follow a magnetic track. When the battery runs low, they drive to the charging station. Houses, street lamps and traffic lights are illuminated. Countless figures represent everyday scenes. From the corpse in the river to the "fun behind the bushes".

[@jensschroder8214]

But the Virtual 3D Show isn't worth it. Rather look at the real miniatures on several floors. There is also a restaurant there.

[@leonvelten3480]

500 hours to get it done? nah try 500.000 hours but this was like 11 years ago. This isn't some hobby from some dude it's a business with a few dozens of employees working there full-time building all that stuff and supervising it. also, the world they created isn't all connected like it would be in real life, it's different "themes" throughout the many rooms but not a reconstruction of the entire world or anything like that

[@iorethofgondor]

350+ employees by now ...

[@sirfenix1314]

The Miniatur Wunderland startet as hobby-project and become more and more professional. Ive never been there, but i will. You can find thousands of "easter eggs" all over the area and it is growing daily. It is so amazing. And you will need about 3-4 days to see "all" of it. And every time you get there you find new not seen spots...

[@andreasmann2602]

Wrong, it was never planned as a hobby project. It took a long time for the Braun brothers to find a banker who gave them the first millions for the project. But their vision was confirmed. I live in Germany and have been following the project from day one. In the next few weeks, they are even releasing a movie (documentary) about their lives and MIWULA!

[@llothar68]

@@andreasmann2602 And they almost went bankrupt after the first years. Then social media came to help and they really pushed it. Like the Elbtunnel train challenge etc. Viral marketing that could only work in the 2000s decade.

It is the easiest way to see Europa in 4 hours!😁

You Should React To James Bray American's VERY FIRST TIME visiting Germany's Miniatur Wunderland

[@RustyDust101]

Haha, great that you just watched this 'ancient' video, while James Bray recently visited Hamburg and the MiWuLa. Just a day or two ago he released his long awaited reaction to the current MiWuLa, and to say he was blown away might be the understatement of the year. It took him almost four weeks to edit down all of his videos he recorded there to a 'mere' 45 minutes. 😂 So if you want a current look, check out his video. BTW: he's an awesome guy with a truly infectuous laugh.

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Miniatur Wunderland, the only place in germany, were the trains are punktual.

[@zasou571]

😂😂😂 👍👍👍

[@IroAppe]

A few days ago they've opened the Formula 1 Race Track in Monaco, where F1 cars are racing the laps each time with random chance in a different race. They are now working at providing a stream of the races in the Internet so that you can follow each race along in the future, since they've also developed a camera-filming system along with it, that covers each race like TV. If you are curious right now, watch their "Monaco Highlights" video, it shows what they can do right now.

[@kai-uweoch1159]

If you ever visit the Miniatur Wunderland look very close. There are quite a few very funny scenes build in. Like a couple having a "meeting" in a field. Or police investing a murder scene. Or that convertible with open roof, just behind a truck that has loaded a construction site toilet, approaching a low tunnel. Just imagine what happens next... 😆

[@Arhey]

Attention to detail is insane there. It is one of most visited attraction in whole Germany. What they said is already there. They are working on Monaco F1 track for few years now. Also they added South America recently.

[@robertfanatico1522]

Greetings from Germany. I visited miniature wunderland a couple of times, and it is really amazing. In 2023, 23 million people visited that place, and tickets are 20 euro.

[@arnodobler1096]

@James Bray was just there too

[@franhunne8929]

James Bray is one of the most excitable persons I have seen - and there were moments he was so overwhelmed he was short of words.

[@marcel-rogerfalk2778]

Even ordinary people who have a KZbin channel become superstars. That is sick 🤦

[@e.s.7272]

A flight from Helsinki to Hamburg only takes 2 hours ;-)

[@m_amen]

when you look on the car plates of each vehicle (Taxis at the Entrance of the Airport) they are different. You will never see a plate used twice. When you visit the Miniature Wonderland you don't want to leave because you discover with each new view on the sceeneries something new.

[@spurbooster1968]

If you ever come to Germany, you have to take a look. It's really fascinating what's on display there. The operators keep building, but apart from that, Hamburg is always worth a visit. Greetings from Germany.👋

[@olfi5939]

@GIOBOZZ DE: the video you commented is more than 10 years old! Till now they spend more than 40 million Euros to create this Wunderland. Since then new sections have been added. Next in April 2024 they will open Monaco with a "real" Formula 1 track after 10 years of development. Up to 20 individual programmend F1 cars will race there against each other, with sound, Pit stops and video-reporting. Greetings from Germany

[@Sir_Rantalot]

If the world would be a fantasy novel, the Germans would be dwarves. Very crafty, with incredible architecture and special taste of beer ...

[@strenter]

When I was there years ago you could take 'behind the scenes" tours - for a price.

[@udeum]

you realy need to see the newer Videos and visit it in person, even a 10hr video would not be able to catch everything, there are sooooo many funny details

[@Olaf-Lingen2023]

Since last year there is even a Section for south america (Rio etc.), Rio was build by brazilians FROM Rio for them. And it is in another Building cross the Canal! They mounted an extra bridge from 1 Building to the other and the Trains cross this bridge as well.

[@klaus2t703]

book your visit in advance. And expect 6 hours or so for the visit. For an IT student: Many (all?) cars drive autonomously - not on a scheduled plan - they know the driving rules. JamesBray just made a new video about the Miniatur Wunderland.

[@ileana8360]

The Miniatur Wunderland YT channel is really worth a visit.

[@iorethofgondor]

but you might end up watching a good many hours - for weeks :) - I sure did back in 2020 when I first learned about the MiWuLa!

[@annettepierce6238]

watch the video from james bray the last one , he was in hamburg at the miniaturwunderland and you can see how it works...

[@GerNedUSA]

As you like cars you definitely should watch the videos with the latest 'miniature wonderland' attraction: Monaco area including the Formula 1 race there - a real race with running cars - of course :)

[@conjunctivius8552]

Soo cute how you lost your virginity right with this vid😊

[@seanthiar]

You are in Finland - Just hop into a train or a plane and fly to Hamburg to check Miniatur Wunderland. It's a cheap 2h flight from Helsinki. The video you watched is over 10years old. The best is spending a whole day there and check everything out. The youtuber James Bray was there not long ago. Just take some days to get to know Hamburg including Reeperbahn, Landungsbrücken, Musicals like Lion King and of course the Miniatur Wunderland.

[@steffenstelldinger9999]

You picked out an old video 😏 Wonderland has been around for 22 years. The one you chose was produced for the 10th anniversary and the current one is the one that was shot for the 20th anniversary. Well, almost everything there was developed by the MiWuLa team itself and designed for continuous operation and low maintenance. Since there is nothing comparable, the development time and costs are self-explanatory. Everyone who works there is just one step away from madness - in the most positive sense! 👍🏼 Not only are they driving H0-scale cars there, completely simulating airport operations, but they are also in the process of completing Monaco with the Formula 1 race track in which racing cars move that are so delicate that no engine fits in the vehicles! Every race there should be unique! I recommend the videos on their homepage but be careful - the videos and pictures will entice you to travel to Hamburg and visit the MiniaturWonderland! 😅

[@jurgengrove2488]

It's absolutely not possible to see the whole wonderland in one day, it's just too extensive! There is now even a movie about it that is said to be very good

[@Why-D]

That video is a bit older, as today they have also South America, made in cooperation with people from South America. Yes, it is "the whole world" as detailed as possible.

[@d34d10ck]

From an IT point of view, I think the upcoming Formula 1 race in Monaco will be a true masterpiece of technology. Right now it's still in development and there a still a few bugs to fix though.

[@iorethofgondor]

it is finished now - or at least in production :)

[@finncarlbomholtsrensen1188]

Bugatti, Originally Top Sportscars made by an Italian in France, are built in its former Production Site in Molsheim in Alsace, on the border between France and Germany. But the Factory Name is now owned by VW (As also Italian, Lamborghini) and produces near Hand Built, absurd Top Luxury Cars in small series.

The video is old, there is a newer one.

[@andreasmann2602]

You are not up to date with this video. More than 10 years have passed and they are still building. In April 2024, for example, Monaco will open with Formula 1! They have built a bridge to another building because they have run out of space. They have built South America there and much more. And it goes on and on!

[@martinwinther6013]

Look. German enginering is the best in the world. Or rather, the entire rhine/boheme area is just OP enginering. (but.. its the swiss guys who makes the stuff the germans cant make)
