5:19 Bremerhaven is the ex-slave of Bremen. Bremerhaven was founded around 1827 because the Weser, which flows through Germany from the North Sea, silted up near Bremen and the port could no longer exist there. The container terminal was built on the North Sea coast and is one of the largest ports in Europe. This was particularly due to the export of heavy agricultural machinery and construction vehicles, as well as the export of German car brands such as Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Audi and VW. We are currently ranked 7th out of the 10 largest European ports. Around 7 million people emigrated from there to America in the 19th century. Nordsee Restaurant (north sea restaurant) is a Germany-wide chain that offers fish dishes. And has been doing so for over 120 years. The head office is in Bremerhaven, not Bremen.

Lake Constance got his English name from the city of Konstanz (founded as Castra Constantia by the Romans at the place of an older Celtic oppidum = fortified village), but the Romans themselves called it Lacus Brigantinus after the Celtic tribe of the Briganti (which they defeated in naval battle on the lake) and their oppidum at the eastern end of the lake, nowadays known as the city of Bregenz. The Germans however call it Bodensee after the castle and village of Bodan, once used as an Imperial palace during medieval times.

Germany is not a a small country. There are about 195 countries worldwide. Germany is size wise Nr. 63 = one of the medium-big ones. And population wise among the bigger ones (Nr. 19). And economically Nr. 3 of the world ...

[@aphextwin5712]

Maybe one should phrase it the other way around, in that Germany is not a very large country. It’s not small, it’s not very large either, it’s a medium sized one in terms of physical size.

[@MrMoritz74]

Berlin is nine sizes bigger than Paris. Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin are city-states. Only the city. The other german states consits of many (hundereds of citys and landscapes). Montreal are smaler than Berlin.

'Schwarz' means 'Black'. In old English ('sweart') was still similar to the German ''schwarz' but one other possible combination became more used . Old English blæc "absolutely dark, absorbing all light, of the color of soot or coal," from Proto-Germanic *blakaz "burned" (source also of Old Norse blakkr "dark," Old High German blah "black," Swedish bläck "ink," Dutch blaken "to burn"), from PIE *bhleg- "to burn, gleam, shine, flash" (source also of Greek phlegein "to burn, scorch," Latin flagrare "to blaze, glow, burn"), from root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, burn." The usual Old English word for "black" was sweart (see swart).

12:34 EVERY state has cities that got bombed. Saxony was actually quite lucky because many cities there remained undamaged comparing to other states. And no, the city you’re referring to is Dresden. But they’re talking about Leipzig

[@PeterBuwen]

French was a world language in the 18th century like english is today. That's the reason why you sometimes can find places in germany with french names.

[@arnodobler1096]

Constance was already a large and important city in the Middle Ages. It got its name from the military fortress "Constantia", which the Romans built here in the 4th century AD, over 1600 years ago. What does Constance mean? Derived from the Latin name Constantia, which refers to the word constans for "constant" and "steadfast". In Germany we call it Bodensee (Lake Constance), the name comes from the noble family of Bodman.

Not sure why you think Berlin is small. You do know it's just a city, right? They specifically mentioned that it's a city state in the video. It's bigger than New York City with less than half the population.

[@afjo972]

3:15 small?! 😂 what do you expect?! Half of Germany consisting just of one single city? 😂

[@charlesgrant-skiba5474]

Germany is a federal state (like the USA), so it has states (Länder) with their own parliament and laws. This is a legacy of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation, which in the Middle Ages also consisted of a huge number of semi-independent lands. However, both in the past and now there is a central parliament and a supreme authority (formerly the Emperor, now the Chancellor and the President).

[@erlkoenig505]

The food you see in the Hamburg video is a fish bun. Specifically, I would guess it's some kind of salted herring. And the name "hamburger" indeed refers to Hamburg, it literally means "Hamburg citizen". Immigrants from Hamburg to the US preferred to eat their steak or patty between two slices of bread or in a bun, and then the Americans expanded on that Idea.

12:02 no, people in Saarland speak German. However, the local dialect is heavily influenced by French, eg sidewalk = Trottoir and many other expressions. Also, more people learn French (percentage-wise) in Saarland than in any other state. I went to school in Saarland myself and French was my first foreign language; English only my 3rd (the 2nd being Latin) The history of Saarland is very interesting and of course over history it was German at some times and French at others.

[@feuerwehrmanngrisu9094]

In german it is called Bodensee (Lake Constance), Schwarzwald (Black forrest). Greetings from Hessen. You were right: Dresden was nearly complete destroyed

[@NicholasCorvin]

*To specify the answer above a bit : Bodensee is called in English "Lake Constance", because the city at the lake is called in German "Konstanz". The city's name has surely its Latin origin : Latin noun "constantia",....... Latin verb "constare"...............the Romans and their language have influenced many, many things in European culture....* 🤔

Berlin is too spread out. It's 9x bigger than Paris. But's much lesser spread out than London. What kind of city are you talking about?

[@michaelgrabner8977]

Lake Constance isn´t French rooted but actually Latin from "Lacus Constantiensis" named after the Roman settlement "Constantia" which is located there founded by the Roman Emperor Contantius Chlorus (292-305 AD) and which is today the German town "Konstanz". But in German though the lake was always and is called "Bodensee" originally refering to a way older settlement named "Bodman" not that far away from Konstanz. (Old High German "Bodmansee"= "Bodman" meaning "low ground" because the lake/settlement is in the middle of the Alps but on low ground) which has roots back to the late Stoneage/early Bronceage. In medi-evil documents written in Latin it is refered with the Latin name (which later became the international name) but in the equal old medi-evil documents written in Old High German it is refered with the German name. It is the by far biggest lake in south-middle Europe (it´s kinda like being on the seaside but the water isn´t salty) and parted between Switzerland Austria and Germany.

Sanssouci Palace has a french name because the prussian King who built it was really into french stuff. His name is Frederik the Great (in german: Friedrich der Große). He is one or if not the most well known prussian king and has quite the interesting history. He is also one of the monarchs we know very likely to have been gay. He definitely is an interesting figure and worth a seperate video. On that note: happy pride month

[@berlindude75]

Until the late 19th century, French was the lingua franca in diplomacy and in most royal courts across Europe. Sanssouci Palace was the summer retreat from the residential City Palace in central Berlin, where the king could go to relax and be without worry ("sans souci").

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

@@berlindude75 Late 18th century. That ended with the revolution and Napoleon. And the king, designed the palace by himself...

[@berlindude75]

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 It was only after WW1 that French was gradually replaced by English as lingua franca in international diplomacy, until by the end of WW2 it was completely superseded by English due to changing geopolitics and the rise of the USA. See the Wikipedia article on lingua francas for Europe. "19th century" is the time span from 1801 until 1900, while "18th century" denotes the time span from 1701 until 1800. Even after the Napoleonic Wars (1815) most international treaties (e.g. the Treaty of the Congress of Vienna) and royal court exchanges were almost exclusively formulated in French for nearly another century. The post-WW1 Treaty of Versailles (1919) was one of the first prominent examples that also had an official English version. This was also evident in the names of international organizations. Those that were founded before WW1 still had French names, such as FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) or FIA (Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile). Those founded later, especially after WW2, now had exclusively English names, e.g. UEFA (Union of European Football Associations). As for Sanssouci Palace (built from 1745 until 1747), the name chosen by the Prussian king was French because of the widespread use of French as a lingua franca among the aristocracy back then. I never contested that the king designed the palace himself (it was his summer retreat after all).

[@melchiorvonsternberg844]

@@berlindude75 Nope, it was not! France had a great influence untill the revolution. And after the Napolonic wars, that it disappeared little by little, more and more. In Germany a little faster than elsewhere and ended, for the most part, with the German victory in the Franco-Prussian war. What you are presenting here is, in the broadest sense, the view of the "Grand Nation". But that is very embellished with lilies, nes pas...?

[@berlindude75]

@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Never read so much utter nonsense. Sanssouci Palace was given its name more than half a century before the Napoleonic Wars when Europe's aristocracy provably spoke French with each other. And even the 1871 peace treaty to end the Franco Prussian War was officially formulated in French. This can easily be looked up on Wikipedia, much like the status of French as a lingua franca mentioned previously. If you have to be contrarian, at least have your points corroborated by actual fact.

The name "Vorpommern" ("Fore/West Pomerania") refers to the eponymous Slavic tribe. Farther/Estern Pomerania slso exists, but is part of Poland since WW2.

btw, Berlin AND New York have a Potsdam in front of the door (the NY one is just less famous - and named after the original in Germany). And just like with other European spots you also have in general a lot of cities and towns in the US with the same/almost the same name as you have in Germany: many Berlins, many Hamburgs, many Frankfurts/Frankforts etc.) ...

[@HalfEye79]

When I remember correctly, the capital of Kentucky is Frankfort. But Germany has two cities named Frankfurt. The big one is "Frankfurt am Main" and the smaller one is "Frankfurt an der Oder" (respectively at the river Main or Oder).

Ich komme aus Deutschland und lebe in München. Deutschland hat 3 Metropolen. Berlin mit 3,8 Millionen, Hamburg mit 1,9 Millionen, und München mit 1,5 Millionen Einwohnern. Berlin hat seine Bekanntheit hauptsächlich durch die Ost/West Teilung und der Tatsache das in Berlin die Regierung sitzt. Hamburg ist vor allem bekannt durch seine Lage (Tor zur Welt) und seinem Binnenhafen. Hamburg ist desweiteren die Hauptstadt der Musicals (Phantom der Oper, König der Löwen uvm) auch die Reeperbahn sollte hier nicht vergessen werden. München; Münchens Berühmtheit beruht wohl hauptsächlich auf das Oktoberfest das weltweit Bekanntheit und Nachahmer hat. Aber München hat viel mehr zu bieten wie zb die Pinakotheken , das Nymphenburger schloss und weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten. Auch ist München der Wirtschaftliche Motor Deutschlands. Auch die Ludwig Maximilian Universität (LMU) ist weltweit bekannt. Wenn man zum Schloss Neuschwanstein will ist München der Ort an den man durchreisen muss.
