One Day in Bamberg, Germany - American family in Germany

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks so much for watching! You can continue touring northern Bavaria with us in our newest video in the lovely city of Würzburg: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJavaKJml9Nml6c

Nice video of Bamberg. I spent time in Germany many years ago and never made it there. Würzburg and its surrounding small towns around are great places to visit, as well. Enjoy your time to the fullest in Germany. So much to see, cultural and historical everywhere .

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks, it's an easy city to film because it's beautiful! We went to Würzburg after leaving Bamberg and loved it there. That video will be up next week! 👍

[@Rayhid1956]

@@OnwardMJ You're welcome. I am looking forward to watching your next video.

[@kevdura]

I was stationed there when I was in the Army. There was a bar called the "Green Goose." Bamberg is extremely beautiful year round. So many great memories you brought back, I would love to go there again.

[@pascalbaudet3058]

The "Neptun-Brunnen" - which is translated to "Neptuns Fountain" - is among the townfolk called "der Gabelmoo" (Gabelmann bc Gabelmoo is the pronounciation in franconian dialect) - which is translated to "the Forkman" - which is of course related to the trident at the sculpture in the middle.

Bamberg looks beautiful. Good work!

Hey mate.i live here in bamberg and im busdriver.very very beautiful bsmberg.🙋

[@OnwardMJ]

Awesome, thanks for watching! It really is a beautiful city!

[@LyraRoseBRC]

Great video, glad you had so much fun here! Should you come back to visit Bamberg again I recommend going to the Altenburg, it's at the edge of the city but if you have the time to go there the view is amazing, you can see the entire city from up there!

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks! Yes, we didn't have a ton of time, so we certainly missed a few things. But that gives us a great reason to go back!

[@Cherb123456]

Wow! Thank you!

[@OnwardMJ]

Thank you for watching!

[@beatrixpastoors1104]

You made my day! 🤣😄 With your Rauschbier. A Rausch is an intoxication after taking drugs. But it was a Rauchbier, with ch. Rauch means smoke. And I suppose you were in the Schlenkerla, stress on the first syllable. Schlenkern is a kind of very relaxed movement which might be aroused in you if you drink too much wine or beer. And you shouldn't be vegetarian or someone who dislikes pork, when you taste the Franconian cuisine. 😬 Im not a big fan of pork, so I will not try a Schäufele or a pork knuckle. But I liked the Fränkisches Hochzeitsessen and the Sauerbraten, both made with beef roast, the former being called Tafelspitz and being cooked quite a while and served with a creamy sauce containing horse radish, the latter marinated sour with many spices and then served in a sauce containing ginger bread or raisins and almonds. Both go best with potatoe dumplings, red cabbage and Preiselbeeren (similar to cranberries). Bamberg is a beautiful city, I even bought a DVD with a guided tour along its highlights. Würzburg and Nürnberg are also worth a visit, beautiful cathedrales. Respect to your (oldest ?) daughter who let her hair cut. Very avant garde. 👍😀 It was quite common to wear a Bubikopf ... in former times, but for quite a while yet German girls wear their hair naturally, I.e. long and little make up. Here mainly girls with "Migrationshintergrund" make up their faces and dress up. No idea why... So I hope I will have a closer look on Annemarie in the next video to see how it fits her. 😊 I wish you all a pleasant journey!

[@Kivas_Fajo]

In Bayern heißt schunkeln schenkerln?

[@OnwardMJ]

Ach! I have to work on my pronunciation! Thank you for the correction, I definitely need those things pointed out to me. That Tafelspitz sounds delicious, I'll have to try it sometime. We did go to Würzburg and Nürnberg after Bamberg, so those videos will be coming in the next few weeks. It was our second daughter, Kira, that cut her hair short. She was ready for a change and just went for it! She loves it, and brushing her hair is a lot easier now! 😁

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@OnwardMJ Tafelspitz is best when eaten in Vienna/Austria...same goes for a real veal Schnitzel, I guess? ;-) Oh and there is this thing called Fiakergulasch in Vienna. You need to try this. A Fiaker is the horse carriage around Vienna and Gulasch is goulash. Thank me later for that food tip. ^^

[@beatrixpastoors1104]

@@Kivas_Fajo nein, schlenkern ist etwas Anderes als schunkeln. Auf der Homepage des Schlenkerla steht Folgendes: Andreas Graser 1875 besteigt der Mann, der dem Schlenkerla seinen Namen gibt, den Gambrinusthron drunten im Sand. "Andreas Graser, als "gutä Bräuä und als Wirt bäkannt" ist der erste Schlenkerla: weil er gern mit seina Orm a wengla gschlenkert hot, drum hom's ihn Schlenkerla getauft aus Übermut und Spott weiß eine Bamberg Reimchronik zu berichten. Manchen reichte diese Version nicht, und sie ließen dem armen Andreas, um seinen schlenkernden Gang zu erklären, noch ein Bierfaß zwischen die Beine rollen und begründen so die Namensgebung." Er hatte also entweder einen schlenkernden Gang oder hat öfter mit dem Arm geschlenkert.

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@beatrixpastoors1104 Diese Erklärung erklärt nichts. Sie ist so gestaltet, dass einem gesagt wird der Himmel sei blau, aber man hat danach gefragt was blau sei und bekommt als Erklärung blau sei blau. Sehr erleuchtend!

You guys are already germanized - eating with knife and fork at the same time.... :P

[@heha6984]

I am so happy to see you all being so joyful and so grateful. And being so that really doubles your pleasure! Liebe Grüße aus Mittelfranken! btw Why the name "Schlenkerla"? I looked up the German Wiki: A master brewer of a former owner of the brewery had an accident and had to compensate the injuries of his legs by swinging (= schlenkern) his arms while he was walking. And so people called him "Schlenkerla" (= kleiner Schlenker = approx. swerve). Amazing, isn't it? LG 💙

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks, and thanks for the history of the name! I actually had no idea (and I'm ashamed to say that I didn't look it up!) 😁

[@annemariestrehl]

You captured Bamberg well. And it's great that you went into the church St. Martin. I feel many people miss it even though it's so obvious. It's very opulent. And thanks for the shoutout!!

[@OnwardMJ]

Thank you, and thank you again for the tips, it really made our day easy and enjoyable!😃 St. Martin's was beautiful, but with so much to see in the city, I can understand how it can get missed sometimes.

[@Barbara-ob9wd]

Hi and thank you for this film about my home city! I‘m very proud of it and I‘m glad you liked it here. Btw, I once saw Schlenkerla Rauchbier in a pub in Philadelphia. I know that quite a lot of it is exported to the USA. Perhaps you can find it at your place, too…😉

[@OnwardMJ]

It's a fantastic city and worthy of being proud of! We really enjoyed our time there. That's awesome that there was Rauchbier in Philly! We lived there for awhile but I didn't know anything about the beer at the time. I haven't seen any in Leipzig yet, but that's ok since it gives us an extra reason to go back to Bamberg!

[@laurin_203]

Why do I always get videos recommended where families visit my city Bamberg

[@OnwardMJ]

So you can see how much we love your city!

[@dove3853]

Remember that the Lord Jesus Christ died on a cross for you because He loves you so much. He then rose up from the dead three days later. The Ten Commandments are called the moral law, (most of us are lying thieving blasphemous adulterer at heart and deserve hell) you and I broke the law, Jesus paid the fine. That’s what happened on that cross. By accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior and not just confessing your sin, but also repenting of all sin you have done and putting all your trust in Him in prayer, He will grant you everlasting life as a free gift.

I think bamberg is so beatiful lets bring freedim there

[@ur_apricity]

very beautiful video, love the editing and moving of the camera. Its nice to see a video of some1 visiting bbg. Really is a refreshing place with many spots to feel comfortable at. Been livin here for 10 years and am now movin back to the US, it gets kinda unsatisfying after some time unless ur a tourist

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! How does it feel to be going back to the States after being away so long? Do you think you'll miss Germany?

[@ur_apricity]

@@OnwardMJ Honestly I feel quite thrilled about moving back, will be something I'll have to get used to though. I'll definitely miss the german culture and the people I've befriended here but Germany probably just isn't the habitat where I feel fully comfortable in (especially as a mexican). I just don't feel like I'm in the right place but would 100% recommend visiting here.

[@muck8669]

Hey Jederzeit wenn man was neues versucht ist es doch das was man bewälltigt hat . Seid stoltz darauf Und es gibt sehr viel mehr das ihr zusammen erfahren könnt..

[@OnwardMJ]

Ja, das stimmt. Wir lieben es, neue Dinge zu erleben und neue Orte zu erkunden. Das hält das Leben spannend.

[@haraldwiegartner5540]

Very nice video about my home town, and I'm thankful that you guys like it here...my buddy Terry from Boise Idaho spend time here in the army and he returns as often as possible...

[@OnwardMJ]

Thanks! It really is a nice city, I'm looking forward to coming back to see some of the things we missed this time!

[@dieteroffermann3880]

Sorry, it´s smoke beer /Rauch Bier you pronouced it wrong. It is not Rau(sch) what you say, it´s Rau(ch). It´s moore in the back of your throat . Great Video! One town more on my to do list!

[@OnwardMJ]

I really need to work on my pronunciation! 😬 Unfortunately, I think I've only heard other American KZbinrs pronounce it, so maybe I learned some bad habits (even though I should have known better!)

[@joachimschwabe3301]

Btw there is also a rose garden in Dresden-Neustadt, close to the places you visited. The beergarden there even offers rose-infused icecream.

[@OnwardMJ]

Nice, thanks for the tip! We'll have to check that out when we go back. And I haven't had rose infused/flavored ice cream since the gelato in Rome! Looking forward to trying it!

[@arnodobler1096]

you would love Isle of Mainau at Lake Constance called Blumeninsel

[@OnwardMJ]

We will have to add that to our list of places to visit! Lake Constance was already on the list, but now we know what to look for!

[@pidschin]

I'll move there in about two weeks

[@OnwardMJ]

Awesome! Looks like a really nice city to live in!

[@pidschin]

Yeah, coming from a small town in Baden-Württemberg I had a blast the first time I went there. Sure, it's not akin to the size of a capital, but I still fell in love with the old town and the college culture in an instant.

[@wlrlel]

@@pidschin If I'm allowed to ask, are you going to study there?

[@walterjab]

Welcome ;)

[@arnodobler1096]

looks like a happy day ☕🍻

[@OnwardMJ]

It definitely was a great day!

[@Kivas_Fajo]

There is no bacon. ^^ It's just smoke...I guess.

[@OnwardMJ]

Yes, I knew there wasn't actual bacon, but another KZbinr always described it as a bacon-like taste. So that's what I was looking for. It wasn't quite as good as I was expecting, but I enjoyed it. I'll have to drink a few more to really make a decision on it.

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@OnwardMJ Imo Rauchbier is overhyped, but that's just my small opinion. I do not like them as much as I do not like an overly smoked Scotch.

Liebe Freunde, könnt ihr bitte mal eure dummen Sonnenbrillen abnehmen, wenn Ihr in die Kamera sprecht. Das ist absolut unhöflich 😢
