I saw a German U-Boat and visited Heidelberg!

[@MarkusWitthaut]

Nice video. The U-boat is U17 that was in service at the Bundesmarine (West German later German Navy) from 1973 until 2010. It has been bought by the Bundeswehr Museum of German Defense Technology Koblenz and is on permant loan to the Technikmuseum Speyer They already have the U9 (built in 1957) on display. You can go inside the submarine - quite an claustrophobic experience. The U17 is a Type 206 diesel-electric submarines developed by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft (HDW). These small submarines were built during the Cold War to operate in the shallow Baltic Sea. There is even a livestream for the transfer of the submarine: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKXdm6B3o8tlZ80

[@doode1971]

Ah, you were in my adopted home town!! I'm from Los Angeles but have been living in Heidelberg since I was stationed here in 1995, in Germany since 1992. Heidelberg is magical. Walking into old town, feels like the first time you walked down Main Street in Disneyland. Welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Eliaso79]

In my opinion, Heidelberg is the most beautiful city in Germany. I am from Berlin, but lived 1 1/2 in a village near Heidelberg. I loved going to Heidelberg, sitting in the old town, enjoy coffee or ice cream, cake etc.. In the evening super cool vibe all around, the castle is lighten up. With loved ones, family or friends you can have the best time. Just beautiful.

Welcome to my area =) if you stay longer here, come to Speyer (my hometown). Its the 3rd oldest city in Germany and has the biggest still standing romanesque cathetral in the world.

[@aw3s0me12]

Did you knoww that *Eastern* is a *stolen* Fest ?? *The church* stole the *germanic Fest,* made up a new fitting story and took it. *Ēostre * is the *orginal fest name* and at the same time is Ēostre a *Germanic spring goddess.* The cchurch stole and made up a story. All a lie. The church is such a parasite.

[@Arch_Angelus]

short fcts: Heidelberg has the oldest university in Germany and the third oldest university in the former Holy Roman Empire of German Nations. Heidelberg Castle is one of the most famous ruins in Germany and the landmark of the city of Heidelberg, first mentioned as Heidelberg Castle in 1182 AD. Heidelberg was also the electoral seat and capital of the Electoral Palatinate until 1720 AD, followed by Mannheim. Heidelberg was first mentioned in a document in 1196 AD. An elector (Latin princeps elector imperii or elector; in older spelling Churfürst) was one of the originally seven highest-ranking princes of the Holy Roman Empire, who from the 13th century had the sole right to elect the Roman-German king (electoral dignity), with whose dignity the claim to the imperium had been linked since the 10th century. Also in Heidelberg: Heidelberg's past and present are largely determined by encounters with Americans. At the same time, Heidelberg has had a firm place in the consciousness of many US citizens since the 18th century. The mutual connections have been subject to constant change and reflect the ups and downs of transatlantic relations in many ways. As the authentic site of this relationship, the Keyes Building represents an opportunity to bring the past and present of this cooperation to life and to focus on the current challenges in the transatlantic dialog. At the height of the Cold War, the most important institutions of the US Army and NATO were located in Heidelberg. The barracks, which have been known as Campbell Barracks since 1948, are a reminder of the presence of more than 15 million Americans in post-war Europe and the anchoring of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Western alliance like no other place in Germany. The shared history of Americans in Heidelberg vividly illustrates the transformation from wartime enemies to friends, but also shows the contrasts that can characterize a value-based friendship, especially in matters of war and peace. The Keyes Building on the grounds of Campbell Barracks illustrates the changing German-American relationship in a special way. Built in the course of the remilitarization of Germany in 1937, the building initially served the Wehrmacht as an officers' mess. In various rooms, the National Socialist builders used artistic propaganda elements - such as the impressive stained glass picture in the vestibule - in an attempt to place the newly established regiment in the traditional lines of German military history. With the occupation of Heidelberg by US forces on March 30, 1945, the barracks became part of the headquarters first of the 6th Army Group and shortly afterwards of the 7th US Army. Over the course of time, the American armed forces were restructured several times, which is also reflected in Heidelberg. After an initial reduction in troops, the reorientation of American European policy since the Soviet blockade of Berlin in 1948/49 and the start of the Korean War in 1950 led to a growing increase in the importance of the Heidelberg site. The building, which was named after the former commanding general Geoffrey Keyes in 1974, became the seat of the US commander-in-chief and chief of staff. For this purpose, a south wing was added in 1951. From then on, the former ballroom of the casino served as a conference room. The US Army units stationed in Europe controlled and managed their facilities and activities from Heidelberg and drew up strategic operational plans. It was not until the NATO missions in the Balkans in the 1990s that the Heidelberg headquarters increasingly became the focus of military operations. At the same time, more and more NATO countries were represented in the city with their own contingents. The strategic military realignment of the USA also brought a turning point for Heidelberg. Following the announcement of the closure of the site in 2010, the 68-year history of American forces in the city finally came to an end on September 6, 2013. Also on the side of Philosophers way: if you walk up the mountain you will find the "Thing Stätte" an open-air stage on the Heiligenberg near Heidelberg, which was supposedly built during the National Socialist era as a site for a thing, modeled on ancient Greek theaters. The foundation stone for the "Thingstätte Heidelberg" was laid on May 30, 1934 and on June 22, 1935 it was opened under the new name "Feierstätte Heiligenberg" by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Passing this you will find St. Michael's Basilica (Ruins). St. Michael's Basilica on the Heiligenberg near Heidelberg is an important religious and cultural heritage site in the region. The monastery was founded in the 9th century as a branch monastery of Lorsch Abbey and was an important place of pilgrimage. History St. Michael's Basilica was rebuilt in 1023 by Abbot Reginbald, later Bishop of Speyer, using Carolingian components. In 1070, Abbot Friedrich von Hirsau was buried in the monastery, making it an important place of pilgrimage. Below the Thing Stätte you find (the Tower there) St. Stephen's Monastery. St. Stephen's was the second monastery on the Heiligenberg alongside the nearby St. Michael's Monastery and was founded around 1090 by the Benedictine monk Arnold. He had only recently joined the Benedictine order. He built a hermitage (there is still a restaurant there today) and a chapel on the front summit of the Aberinsberg. Zundebold, provost of St. Michael's Monastery, took a liking to Arnold's cell and, with the permission of Lorsch Monastery, had monastery buildings added in 1094. The main donor was a crusader from Handschuhsheim. His widow Hazecha is buried in the western part of the former church, as evidenced by her tombstone. The monastery church was built in the Gothic style in the 12th century. Greetings from Heidelberg

6:48 Not raspberries (Himbeere), but blackberries (Brombeere). There in an indirect etymological connection between Heidelbeere (blueberry) and Heidelberg since both have something to do with "Heide" (= heath).

[@michaelgrabner8977]

C+M+B is the abbreviation of the Latin Blessing "Christus mansionem benedicat" = meaning "Christ bless this house" which gets renewed in return for a little donation every year on Jan. 6th the Three Kings Day which is an old catholic tradition since the 16th century first mentioned in documents at 1541...that´s the actual meaning and is and ever was basically a money collecting thing of the Catholic Church. People back then were highly superstitious and therefore eager to have their home blessed and the Church did it and still does it for payment. BUT there is also the myth that C+M+B stands for Casper + Melchior + Balthasar which are the names of the three wise men also known as the 3 Kings who followed the star to Bethlehem leading to Christ´s birthplace...but that C-M-B meaning is "religious folklore" in order to have a narrative for the kids for that particular blessing ritual at 3 Kings day on Jan.6th simply because those did not understand Latin.

The place where you ate your Mohnschnecke (Nicht-Kuchen :-D) is Karlsplatz and the German studies department (you're practically pointing at Palais Boisserée at 13:47) is behind the camera. If you sit at one special place in their library, you can open the double-sided window, commit yourself to your studies of German classic authors (you mention Goethe), who centuries ago spent time in that exact building, and look up and enjoy the view of the castle which has inspired many German Romanticists. Truly special!

The blessing over the door is by children that dress up as the three kings: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar and as you said the year is included. 20*C+M+B*17 is (20th century, C = Caspar, M=Melchior, B= Balthasar, 17 = the year in the 20th century). This happens usually on the 6th January where they walk around, ring at your door, sing a soong and collect some money for people in need and then you get the blessing on your door.
