Thanks to all the Germans that helped with this episode, obviously I couldn't cover everything about every state so if you'd like to add anything, TEACH US! Put it in the comments!

[@lilablau4560]

@@jackrosenthal7757 the history basically is that they had a normal economy, ww2 happened, they were split and during the cold war companies didn't want to take the risk of being surrounded by eastern Germany so they moved to other parts of Germany. That wasn't really an issue at that time cause both sides showed off in Berlin and put much money in it. When Germany unified Berlin was left with few companies, no money cause the boasting was over and had to take care of eastern Berlin.

@@berndisterndi-gugutschatscha The majority of the British didn't vote for and don't want Brexit!!! Only 37% of the electorate voted to leave, so whilst you will still hear a lot of lies and from either misinformed, dishonest, or unintelligent British politicians who are still selling their impossible dream, for mostly self interest this isn't the view of most people in the country (politicians acting in their own self interest, surely not). Many of us are still hoping that it won't happen, however unlikely that seems at the moment. Nothing should ever be distilled into one short quote on any subject!!! Loved the video and Bavaria and Austria are amazing places, and I'd recommend anyone who hasn't been goes if they have the chance, so much amazing scenery, history, culture, food, drink, people, and much more.

I think Amish dialectic is akin to Cajun French. Both groups immigrated to America centuries ago. Over time, both Amish and Cajun French (both isolated communities) changed and developed their own words, which had nothing to do with the mother tongues in Europe. Most French people understand maybe 1 word of every 10 words of Cajun. A few years ago, when there was a murder in Lancaster County PA (Amish country), the FBI brought in a German to translate. He didn't know what the hell they were talking about :)

I'm mildly proud to be one of the few Americans who understand that the two different tribes "Germanni" and "Alemanni" are responsible for the name of the country in most of western Europe... The Slavs though... I think their general Niemcy/Nemecko/etc is probably tied to the ancient word concept of nemesis.... at least that's the idea I got from r/Polandball.

Some interesting facts: Bavaria: There is a linguistical and cultural divide between Bavaria and Frankonia. Some decades ago, they tried the succession from Bavaria. Hesse: The actual state are mostly the borders of the Hesse-States (Hessen-Darmstadt, Hessen-Kassel, Hessen-Homburg), the free city Frankfurt and Nassau. For a long time the area between Mainz and Worms was part of it. That's the reason it's called Rheinhessen. Lower Saxony: The original Saxony. Saxony and Saxon-Anhalt got this name thanks to the dispute between Barbarossa and Henry the Lion. Schleswig-Holstein: The danish population have their own political party. It doesn't apply to the 5% rule, so they always have a seat in the Parlament.

[@tobi2731]

They have a seat for as long as they can muster enough votes for 1 seat which has been kinda close at times.

[@user-zz7gi2fj9h]

@Hernando Malinche Another reason why Austria isn't part of Germany is also that the emperor of Austria, when offered the crown of German emperor, did not want to lose his territories in the Balkans, Italy and Poland so that he declined.

[@jackmara882]

@Hernando Malinche they weren't able to absorb it. Neither Austria or Prussia was able to absorb the other. Because of that it came to war. Germany could only formed by one big nation.

[@niku..]

You kinda mentioned it but also got it wrong... The Germanic tribe of the Saxons has absolutely nothing at all in common (besides the name) with the people of Saxony. Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein is the homeland of the Saxons and they never moved to modern day Saxony. The confusion comes from some political mess centuries ago. After that Saxony lost it's original homeland but didn't stop calling itself Saxony.

[@Jayarbal]

You can tell by the plattdeutsch people speak in the north. It's more similar to english than hochdeutsch.

[@aniinnrchoque1861]

Some Saxons and Flemish actually moved into the area of modern-day Saxony, but they account for less than 5% in influx... I sent them a mail explaining why Saxony is called Saxony despite being mostly franko-thuringian and sorbian in ancestry. A ruler of the house of Wettin married into the Saxon royal family and adopted the royal title. He then went on to call his lands "Kingdom of Saxony" in honor to his new title and to this day no one ever felt like changing the name... except for "Kingdom of"

[@Nicarand]

Agreed. It was basically like lords taking on the title of "ruler of Saxony". First it shifted from modern Lower Saxony to what is now Saxony-Anhalt (under the House of Ascania) and then to what we today call Saxony under the House of Wettin, under the pretense that some ancestor of theirs was a lord of the original, north-western Saxony. That's why there's not one, not two, but three Saxonies. Greetings from somebody who has lived in all of them!

1) Baden-Württemberg is not Swabia, there exists a lot of rivalry between Baden on the west (Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Freiburg) and the east (Stuttgart, Tübingen, etc.), and the west is often culturally closer to Alsace/Pfalz than Stuttgart and the east. 2) Bavaria is not the only state to have had a king, nearly all former duchies/kingdoms (today's states) had kings/regents, none after WW2 though. You are right though in saying that Bavaria generally likes to think of itself as distinct from the rest of Germany. Also, King Ludwig II's death (and life) was far more mysterious than simply "he drowned himself". 3) I don't know who you talked to about Berlin but that view of the city is a bit dated, by about 15 years, perhaps. These days it's becoming especially popular among the younger generation, digital nomads, and English speakers, not to mention the soaring tourism rates. It's way more multicultural than almost anywhere else in the country (except pockets in big cities like Cologne), and it's very distinct from the rest of Germany. Also the thing about the airport isn't really a Brandenburg thing in specific, it's heaps of mismanagement at various levels.
