You got something important wrong here. The Albrechtsburg is not Germany's oldest castle, there are many much older castles in Germany, it was Germany's first palace. And that is the special thing about it, because only in the late Middle Ages the rulers and very rich began to built large homes not to be protected and to sit out something like a siege in safety, but to live in a home that is just beautiful, artful and luxurious.

[@jamesrobinson6382]

This was an exceptional work! I have always heard of Meissen porcelain so this was interesting to me. The beautiful Late Gothic architecture was exceptional as well. I hope to visit the Dresden and Leipzig area in the coming months as it is one area of Germany I haven't visited. Great video.

Meissen is the City of Drugs 😂😂

[@DWTravel]

Thanks for your nice feedback! We hope your plans come true and you can visit Saxony soon.

[@Due152]

Don’t miss Radebeul! There you can find the traces of the man who invented Winnetou and Old Shatterhand! And if you have some time left, go to Görlitz and from there to Herrenhut. Buy you one of the Herrenhuter Stars, it’s one of the very few authentic souvenirs from Germany, and when you hang up this star in Christmas time you will always remember .

[@learngreatenglishwithgreat1019]

I LOVE GERMANY!

[@stefanpuschel3958]

Oh the confusion with castle (Burg) and castle (Schloss), it took me a second to get that difference. If you want to call it 'oldest' it would have been more understandable if you said palace, chateau, residence or manor house. It is not the oldest castle (Burg) in Germany, however the oldest castle (Schloss) in Germany ;)

[@DWTravel]

Thank you - we've already been struggling several times with this confusing castle thing 😆.

[@dougdiver8637]

Burg is a castle,,,Schloss is a Palace,,,there is a BIG difference

[@henningbartels6245]

@@DWTravel a Burg = castle is simular to a fortress and has a military and strategic purpose. In Germany you will easily find a Burg or a Burg ruin which is older than the one in Meißen. A Schloss = palace or chateau has a residential and representative character. Sometimes there are fluid boundaries and this might be the case in Meißen as well: former castles were remodelled to serve as a residence etc. The period in the 19th century can be particularly tricky, when there was a romantic view towards the Middle ages. It became fashionable to build residences which look like castles or using architectural fearutes of castle. But all there defense features are fake and for pure decoration only: Schloss Wernigerode in the Harz mountains, Schloss Marienburg near Hannover or Neuschwanstein in Bavaria to name a few. Anyhow, Albrechsburg is regarded to be the oldest "Schloss" in what is today Germany, but it is not the oldest castle or Burg.

[@SGTDuckButter]

When looking at old buildings in Germany I’d like to know, were they rebuilt or were they untouched from the war?

[@DWTravel]

Some cities, such as Meissen, were largely spared from the air raids in WW II- but there are of course some cities that were badly affected - there the old structures were partially restored.

[@TopSecretVid]

Born in Nurnberg and wish my destiny would bring me back😢

[@joebarrera334]

Yet another great episode, thanks Hannah!

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I'm an Australian, watching because my great great grandfather was a German scientist who helped improve German porcelain. We are related to the von Westphalens also, but I don't know if it is the same family as from Meissen.

[@DWTravel]

You must be proud of your ancestor. If you have the opportunity you should definitely visit the city of Meissen. There is a very good porcelain museum there.

[@Kotone_EN]

Fellow Aussie My family is from Meissen from my dads side

[@ilonamarschner1571]

You did an exceptionel job, dear Hannah. Why do I know that for sure? I am one of the inhabitants of this most beautiful city in Germany. Its very elating to go fishing at the river Elbe and enjoy this splendid cityside and landscape. Thanks Hannah for this little documentary. If you visit again, let me know. So I can show you a lot of other interesting things, you didnt mention yet. ;-) God bless you!

Why does he say this is the oldest castle in Germany? Burg Eltz was completed much earlier.

[@DWTravel]

Now that's a tricky one. In German, there are two meanings for a ‘castle’. One is a "Burg" (a fortress, built for protection) and one is a "Schloss"(a palace with playfull architecture, gardens, etc.) And to make it even more complicated: The differences sometimes blur.. But if we start from this definition above, Albrechtsburg Castle is indeed the oldest German castle (Palace) . 😅😉

[@jamjigger2188]

@@DWTravel Thanks for the clarification! I had just watched the Burg Eltz video (my favorite castle), so I remember they said it was completed in 1311. But it is definitely not a Schloss. :)

Oh come on...how can you make docu-material like this...voice-overs will always be something not to trust! Even media does it, so its not reliable. Let the man speak and put translation on it, that's the least you can do.

@Sophie Snow "even media does it s o it its not reliable." That does not make any sense, don't you think. If you wish subs instead of voice overs- fair enough, we'll discuss it.

[@tages_matuna]

Kinda sucks and discouraging that the guy at the beginning, the tour guide and the museum manager could not speak English and had to be dubbed, given that they work in the tourist industry 🙄
