11:00 This is the car tower in Wolfsburg. It's a glass window tower from car manufacturer VW located in Wolfsburg. They put new cars in there fully automated from an underground system from the finished construction line. They are in there as show pieces and then people go there and collect their cars. Kind of a short term storage for finished cars before they are being collected by their owners. The system fully automatically retrieves the cars and brings it to the delivery hall where the owners will receive it.

Yes, especially Chinese and Mongolians with a buffet. That makes sense. You have to have enough on the buffet to satisfy the customers so that there's always enough left over to make a few more people happy. Just not with as much choice. That way, as a restaurant, you still get about a third of the normal price instead of having to throw everything away.

[@icetwo]

The differences between East and West Germany can be explained simply by the fact that both parts have followed different paths for 40 years. After reunification, a number of companies in East Germany closed. As a result, unemployment increased and workers' bargaining power decreased. This explains the different incomes. Cars were rare in East Germany. You had to wait years for the Trabbi. There was and is a much denser network of local public transport. You can also see in the west in the big cities that there are fewer cars per person, simply because you don't have to rely on them. In rural regions, however, there are many more cars. Since farms in the GDR were forced to form agricultural production cooperatives and there was a land reform, huge areas were available to increase the efficiency of these farms. In West Germany, on the other hand, in addition to large farmers, there are also medium-sized and small businesses that have been family-owned for generations. That's why the sizes of farms in the west are smaller. Turkish immigration can also be explained historically. After the founding of the Federal Republic in 1949, the so-called “economic miracle” occurred. The economy grew so quickly that there was a shortage of workers. That's why they recruited people from abroad. First from Italy, later from Turkey. And many of these people stayed there. In East Germany, however, this migration did not occur. The only large group of immigrants were Vietnamese. However, this group was very small compared to the migration in West Germany. Religion: In a socialist state like the GDR, problems arose if you were a member of a church. That could influence whether you get a certain job or something similar. There were churches in the GDR and even churches were built, but that was only for a small part of the population. In West Germany, on the other hand, there were no disadvantages from the state if you were a member of a church. Then there's the matter of the tennis courts. A tennis court like this is not cheap and was therefore an elite sport for a long time (similar to how golf is seen today). When larger settlements with single-family houses were built in the sixties and seventies, sports facilities were often built in the associated green spaces. Football pitches and sometimes tennis courts. Then there was an event that gave tennis another boost: On July 7, 1985, at the age of 17, he became the first unseeded player, the first German and the youngest male player to date to win the final of the Wimbledon Championships with 3-1 sets in the final against Kevin Curren. With this victory, Becker was also the youngest winner of a Grand Slam tournament to date. That was significant and ensured that people not only watched tennis on television, but also wanted to play tennis themselves. Tennis is no longer as popular, but the courts are still there

[@maddo-hq9jr]

The Religion chart doesn't make sense, though. I travel alot and I know that there are quite some regions in east germany like Erzgebirge or Eichsfeld that have always been strongly rooted in religion. Doesn't make any sense that the chart is black.

[@Nightknight1992]

also stuff like the tennis courts is not very meaningful since east germany is way less population dense than east and south germany

[@CatzHoek]

About the bakery stuff, a typical non trivial item is maybe 1.50€ so yeah, normally that wouldn't be 4€. I'd roughly estimate 20-30€. But ... Too good to go is an app where bakeries and grocercy shops etc. give away random assortments of leftover veggies and baking goods etc. before they close in the evening (or whenever they want really, typically an hour before they close or so). So getting a big random collection like that for 4€ is possible, but it's a first come first serve type of deal and especially in bigger cities you need to claim it almost instantly when they publish it, which might involve luck. There'll only be a handful of such bags. "Too good to go" is like a mix of "too good to be thrown out" and " to go". We've that a lot where we invent english the general public will intuitively understand the gist of, even if it's not actual english. There's a term for that, which i forgot.

The seemingly stark difference in religiousness is because people don't understand statistics. It's a statistic not about religion but about people registered as a certain brand of religion. Under the communists, religion was not supported/actively suppressed. So while people in Western Germany had their religious affiliation registered and it continues automatically down the generations, in the East no such registration existed. Nobody bothered to do so after the reunification, especially because nowadays it's mostly for collecting church tax. However, people are still religious in the East, no matter what this statistic says.

As good as new...or better, because still hot, so the butter you smear on melts. ^^ You can do the same thing with our Brötchen-buns.

In northern germany, we cook real thick pancakes, about 3-4 cm, those we call Eierkuchen / Eggcakes. Why do norther germany do them this way instead of 5 thinner ones? Transport is easier. And you can eat them faster. Even if you are on the go. When you are at the coast, you often can see sailors walking and eating those thick Eierkuchen. I am raised with those, so any Pfannkuchen that is thinner is a crepes for me.

Its only 4€ because its the stuff that wasnt sold on that day and would be thrown away or used as animal feed otherwise.. Its gonna be WAY more expensive if you bought it normaly

The car tower is in Wolfsburg at VW factory. If you get your car there, you have a Show to get your car and a look inside of VW.

3:15 minimum wage isn't different, it's all the same. The graphic shows that the difference between before and after introducing the minimum wage was biggest in the east of Germany. Meaning people in the east of Germany did profit the most from the minimum wage introduction.

I live near those three houses, they are in the village called Seelbach in Baden-Württemberg and you can rent them as holyday homes.

For the bakery at the end, its true, maybe in some places u can get that much, but brötchen where i live are like 48 cents and „pig ears“ (some thingy w chocolate) dw its not pig its just called like it- is 2 euros, so it depends what u buy

[@gregorygant4242]

Yep, that's a parking garage and it's a freakin cool one so advanced , it takes up less space than a traditional one for the amount of cars it has !

[@SuperUltimateLP]

It's not a public garage... it's the final short-term storage from volkswagen, if you buy new you can see your car getting pulled out of there to be delivered to you.

[@gregorygant4242]

@@SuperUltimateLP Um ,yeah but I've seen garages like this around Munich and Munich airport so it's not just about buying a new car.

2:00 The electronic saxophones and other electronic instruments with sax fingering that I'm aware off look well different. They're smaller and lighter, too. That's part of the reason they exist. Also, most of them sound like crap (when trying to sound like an actual sax instead of just embracing being a synth). *Electric* saxophone would imply that it works like an electric guitar, i.e. it's just electrically amplified. That wouldn't make it quieter but louder ^^ (if you use an amp, otherwise there's no difference).

3:34 most of the Turkish immigration happend after WW II as we're lacking a lot of labor force (don't ask why 🥲) So they migrated only to west Germany, as east Germany was basically closed for immigration

[@paavobergmann4920]

Most turks were invited as "guest workers" during the 60´s and 70s to west germany to help build up after the war, and many stayed, got kids, etc. East germany got guest workers from other socialist countries like Cúba or North vietnam, but they didn´t stay. Nördlingen is worth the visit! the crater museum as well as the medieval old town are super awesome.

7:00 Tatort is a state sponsored crime series for the „öffies“ (öffentliche, short for public services; normally used for the public transport system but in this context used for the public television) that has one of the highest annual budget(it’s trash imbo(in my based opinion) They always use a special filter; that’s what the comment wanted to say

[@ThecRL0]

To the Statistics about East and West, it just perfectly portraits the disenfranchisement eastern germans experienced after both nations reunited. after that it was basically a wholesale for rich western germans,meaning 90% of the means of production belong to western germans, as you can also see an the amount of companies having their headquarters in the east. and for the voting paper, no, not mutiple elections, i think this was the one for the EU, it was 3 last time, all of them had a lot on it, not sure which was which anymore.

There used to be a large Tree-House, like these in Okinawa. It housed a restaurant but went bancrupt. So they had to demolish it. But it used to be the biggest tree house in the world

nördlingen is close to me, and they have a museum dedicated to the meteroite crate, its very impressive!

To good to gos is an App where you can buy the "leftovers" of the day, so that are not thrown away for a lower price. Some restaurants join it, too - it's nice if you are on low income and you do something against food waste, too.

[@KAI19772011]

To good to go is a movement against wasting food, 4€ is common in the evening. They cant store it to the next day and they will probably close at 6 pm maybe 8 pm, so 4€ is better than the trash can.

0:15 As a German, I am mostly concerned with them STOPPING on the Autobahn. From the guard rail visible and the left solid line remaining in the corner between windshield and the dashboard, it looks like they are already in the right lane.

NASA even did send Apollo crews for geology training to the Nördlingen crater in preparation for upcoming moon missions. Among them Alan Shepard, the later commander of Apollo 14.

„Turkish immigration“ at i think 3:40, i can confirm 100%, im a german that lives in northern germany, and if i go to big cities, there are turks everywhere i look, left, right, behind, front. everywhere, literally- they mostly blast loud rap-music, and are usually harmless other than the kids who yell „why tf u looking at us?!“ when ur not even😭 but when im at my grannys house in east germany, there are soooooo less of them, unless i go to berlin😭 thats like the spawn point for them😭

[@JannisDesigns]

love the comment at the end saying "stupid germans they always have a response and a word for everything it's insane" and then the best answer to that: "We create words by combining them and I don't think there is really a limit" 😂😂

Imagine the day you want your car and find a note, elevator broken, next technician will be here in 2 weeks

[@agromx224]

to the last clip: i think it might very well be possible for all of that to just cost 4€. I'd just assume, that it isn't fresh (freshly baked) anymore. so they rather sell it for cheap than to throw it away.

[@gastonkawitzke3272]

The car elevator belongs to VW in Wolfsburg , the home of VW. Here you can get your New car direct from the manufactory .

[@JannisDesigns]

12:10 you are right, those are not 4€ in total, probably more like inbetween 10-16€ but in america to have one (1) prezel to be $4 is crazy man, and that probably ain't even the real price cuz you still have to add taxes so you pay more like $4.20-4.40 USD xDxDxDXD

The average salery map, you should check out the US. You can still kind of see who won the war of secession on the map. Despite the south having all the oil and refineries, the north is lit up bright.
