Saarland the Alabama of Germany ?

So I decided to go to Saarland and find out about what the other places in Germany think of Saarland, about the jokes about Saarland the Alabama of Germany. But I find out that maybe 1/40 know what Saarland is!. I never though I would witness two German arguing what Saarland. some even said is it in Disney Land.

Saarland is not the Alabama of Germany. Its the shire of Germany. -most germans weren't there, some even dont know were it is. -things that happen in saarland normaly doesn't have much influence to the rest of Germany - we got 7 meals a day just like hobbits ;)

[@inotoni6148]

Some politicians like Kramp-Karrenbauer come from there, so the small Saarland already has a relatively large influence on Germany

[@charleskristiansson1296]

Saarland ist wunderbar!

[@666rsrs]

I know as a Pfälzer i'm not supposed to fraternize with the enemy, but i have to say i love my neighbors. Love the food, love the dialect and there are some really beautiful places to visit in Saarland

[@lucasreinert3030]

Scheis pälzer (hab euch gern)

Nach dem 2. Weltkrieg ab 1947 hatte das Saarland eine eigene Staatsregierung und war fast 10 Jahre lang so etwas wie ein eigener Staat. Die Alliierten konnten sich nicht auf eine Annexion durch Frankreich (das Saarland war französischen Besatzungszone) einigen. Erst 10 Jahre später, ab 1957, wurde das Saarland dann Teil der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Von 1950 bis 1956 hatte das Saarland sogar eine eigene Fußball-Nationalmannschaft!

A tip: In Germany you don't say "deutsche Leute", you will sound more like a native if you just say "deutsche". For instance, you also do not say "Saarländer Leute" or sth. like that, only ,,Saarländer" :)

[@rador7]

It's sad that many in Deutschland don't know of Saarland even though it has been a part of the country since 1956. I'm certain they know even less about Alabama.

[@gregprouse1173]

Great video bud. You are really professional now....love the over commentary. Your German is epic now :) How is the job trial in Munich going?

[@yourtruebrit]

Unfortunately I didn’t get so It knocked me down. Literally every rejection would hurt so I had to step away for a week. Not bad getting to the final though :). I hope your doing well :)

[@disneywithus90]

As a person who has ancestors from sarrland, and graduated from high schoool in Alabama, I have to say I expected a bit more from this than I got. I was hoping for more than just a clip of rigatoni but I will still be glad to go and try it.

[@Der_wahre_C17]

Ich musste so lachen! Die zwei deutschen Frauen aus dem Norden mit ihren Fischbrötchen. Herrlich.

[@klanghold1]

Das Saarland ist sehr wichtig - als Größenvergleich in Dokus (über Abholzung des Regenwaldes, Größe von Asteroiden…).

[@bettina_w]

Das Saarland ist das schönste Bundesland der Welt - so beschreiben zumindest wir Saarländer das Bundesland ;) Side note: "Gemorje" means good morning

[@yourtruebrit]

Gemorje best slang in all of Germany :D

[@sshreddderr9409]

lol. Ich komme auch aus dem Saarland. Ich finds schrecklich und würde auch für Geld dort niemals wieder wohnen.

[@bigernie9433]

Saarland being the Alabama of D is quite a strange analogy in many ways. The food in Alabama is quite awful whereas the Saarland food culture is among the best in D. Unlike the neighbouring Pfalz, the Saarland has been much less of a rural than an heavily industrialized region for 200 years because of the coal and steel industry whose disappearance is currently creating economic issues. Although the French border is close, the bordering French region of Lorraine is historically German-speaking which makes the border, in European times, mostly a non-issue. There is a tramway from Saarbrücken over the border to Sarreguemines.

[@maze95]

Bruh its just a running gag in germany xD

[@oliverh.]

Historisch gesehen war Saarland immer Deutsch, Napoleon hat es bzw. mehrer Gebiete um den Rhein erobert, wir haben sie aber uns wieder fast vollständig zurück geholt.

[@nwmacguy]

My matrilineal grandmother four generations back was from Heckendalheim outside and just east of Saarbrücken, 1890s. Through series of razing and rebuilding over the decades, I don't think anything exists in that village from back then still.

[@jesuszockt3531]

There is soooo much good food in the Saarland and you promote this fast food Rigatoni?! :D But to be fair it indeed is the best you can get. xD

[@IncaMcCarter]

You’re right lol Dibbelabbes, Plattgeschmelzde, Hoorische, Bibbelschebohnesupp, Quetschekuche and a very good Grauburgunder 😂

[@carlosmarx2380]

the small Pizza place at 7:02 is amazing. Iused to live there just around the corner, and the place was open until late at night, so everytime we were out drinking, we had to get our drunk-pizzas. Weirdly, they also sell Döner made of pork hahaha

[@ajeettv]

parkdeckdöner

[@sirlancelonkel2472]

Well there have been some jokes about that. Never been there tho outside of a train. Guess people are nice there too.

[@pabloamericano4930]

My ex girlfriend is from Saarland and she was super fun, very classy, beautiful, hospitable, and an amazing woman. She’s maybe 30 now and an architect. I loved my time there and the people were amazing.

[@JM-gj3fi]

Die deutsche Frau mit der pinken ist echt aufgeweckt und lustig.... Wir wollen Bratwurst 😂

[@kugul1683]

Enjoyed the video! Where did you interview?

[@Zimtwolke]

Jaaa Rigatoni-mann ist beste

[@sancho-4457]

In Saarland there are basicly two languages. The one based on Rhenish Franconian languages the other on Moselle Franconian langueages. In my hometown for exaple we dont say gemoje. We say moin, like in luxemburg

[@gvrotz]

Ja, Moselfränkisch und Rheinfränkisch... unn saarbrigga platt

[@thomasweisgerber8080]

@@gvrotz Saarbrigger Platt geheert zum Rheinfränkischen! (Isch bin e geborener Saarbrigger Glickerspieler vumm Rodehof!) Iwwarischens genau wie´s Lautrer Platt, ...aach wenn´s weder die Saarbrigger noch die Lautrer wahr hann wolle (Isch leb seit 1985 in de "Westpfalz-Metropole" Lautre im Exil, ...sozusahn als Pälzer mit saarlännischem Migrationshinnergrund, ....oder als heimatloser "Heckebrunser", ...je nohdem wie ma´s sieht ;-) ) Awwer weil´s so is wie es is vasteh ich die Lautrer dreimol besser als wie die Saarlouiser odder Merziger ("Wat geluuschd dann dau mei Biffje, ...Eisch schlaan da enn an de Waddeng??!!") Do kann isch nur saahn: Isch glaab isch genn variggd bei derer Sproch ;-)

My beloved homeland Saarland is not like Alabama - we have no Alligators!

[@aleynailgezdi8685]

Is there a beer ? ahahahahah

[@OmegaPolar15]

i never wouldve thought that germans and a british person would make american state references like that, like how does everyone know that meme lol

[@mrnobody5381]

As an American, I am insulted that you would call my ancestors homeland "alabama". No, i looked up my lineage, no interbreeding happened. One was named everhardus. I like that. If you look at demographics, you will notice that "Alabama" has a majority black population. It quite possibly has the most blacks per capita in the nation. No, one of my ancestors was killed in the civil war on the side of the north. He enlisted in Ohio. Alot of germans from this area of germany ended up in the northwest territories. Ohio, michigan, etc. My mothers mother, my grandmother, came from the Munich area. She married my grandfather who was in germany working for the usa gov as a truck driver. He crashed his truck and was badly injured. He was moved to america. My grandmother did not leave to come to the usa until 1948. They had a large family here in the usa. I was told that two of my uncles where drafted in the war, and disappeared on the eastern front. Its funny, on the other side of the family i have ancestors that lived in saarland. not far from where her family was. I would like to visit sometime.

[@Rowlph8888]

Wow dude, at the end of the video there you made the same sketch, as in the movie "inglorious bastards".You asked for 3 items, holding up 3 fingers, but the Germans, hold up two fingers and a thumb, if the movie narrative is correct

[@mulraf]

Instruktionen unklar, wollte "ein dry ray gatooni" holen, konnte es aber nicht in Alabama finden.

[@tobiaszwer9820]

„Gemorje“ ist einfach Übersetzt in „Guten Morgen“ 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@sparky7915]

Saarland the Alabama of Germany - this is so ridiculous! There may be some similarities between the two but Saarland is independent of anything that happens in America.

[@EmilyPlein]

Well my 7th great grandfather is from here

[@sshreddderr9409]

I was born in that region. I really disliked it. People there are weird. I believe its because there is nothing really going on there and there are seemingly barely any young people who havent moved to a more vibrant place as soon as they can. I sometimes felt like all houses were empty, or only old people lived over there, because you barely see anyone young on the street ever, except in the few bigger cities of course.overall it always made me feel dead inside, like Im the last young person alive. Its one of the cheapest regions for a reason. I always felt way better in any other place I lived.

[@davidblack1405]

Work on your German lad

Nah man Brandenburg is the Alabama of Deutschland
