[@blendonaut3015]

Bullshit. I am a german and nobody behaves like that. Stop talking shit propaganda. A friend of mine since 6 grad buyed a little one what you would call a castle. First there are strict rules due to the "monument protection office" (if google transalte it right), then you dont buy something that wortfully with such an amount of rules and duties and do NOTHING. The pure thruth you are financially able to build one is the absolute counterpart to your bullshit anti-german propaganda. Nevertheless - if you mess the castle up - the government will fuck you up. With fines at first, than with duties like "you have to do this and that cause the roof is like blablabla" and in the end - they can kick you out. Because its not just a structure you can buy but a historical worthfully building - therefore - goverment is like the landlord.

But to be fair, most was still lost. The monuments mostly were rebuilt but the cities themselves could never been restored. When i visited Amsterdam i actually was astonished by the pure history of this city. You could see the old core of the city and how it became more modern on the outskirts. Germany couldn't rebuilt the old cities and the buildings that were hundreds of years old. And to this day you are clearly able to see that when you walk through the streets, with modern houses next to old houses that they were able to restore. Also: After the war we didn't have enough time and financial strength to restore everything. But still the people needed houses, so we built a lot of cheap and practical buildings which, sadly, were quite ugly, especially compared to the very old historical buildings. If you see pre-war pictures and post-war pictures you know that we never really restored the beauty of our cities. That might be the clearest reminder for us what war does to your country.

Depends. Major industrial centers were hit hard, but many smaller cities were hardly damaged at all. Many small towns in particular still have most of their really old buildings.

In Germany we like to build our houses solid, especially in the south of Germany where there can be harsh winters with a lot of snow. The roofs therefore are covered with special tiles that are very robust. On average, such a roof lasts around 70 to 100 years. These roof tiles nowadays can be found in several darker colours and in different materials, but in old times they were made of pressed clay, which was available almost everywhere, was inexpensive and sturdy, and the natural color is reddish-brown. In some regions, however, you can also find dark gray roofs made of slate, which is also very sturdy. You saw a lot of them too in the video, but they aren't as noticeable as the red-brown roofs ;-)

[@Balleehuuu]

And cities with historical old towns will have regulations to keep the overall picture of that part of the city. Like forcing every new roof or building to use a specific colour and sometimes even match the old material. Most bigger german cities has a maximum hight you can build expecially again for their "old towns", that is why almost all german skyscraper can be find in Frankfurt, where a part of the city (the finance district) just couldn't handle the demand for more space without higher buildings.

4:33 Armenius (Herrmann) successfully led the Germanic tribes against the Romans. He himself had a Roman education. The Romans then stayed west of the Rhine and left the eastern bank to the Germans. The Germans were divided into many tribes. Over time this became many principalities. That's why Germany has so many castles. It was only when the French Napoleon occupied Germany that German nationality developed. Only together could the Germans get rid of Napoleon. This then led to the founding of the German Empire. This is German history in a few sentences.

Arminius was important, to be sure. But we don't know much about his life. And we should be aware that there were deliberate efforts during the National Romanticism of the 19th century to turn him into some mythical "founding father" of the German nation.

[@Arsenic71]

And this unification of all the smaller tribes and kingdoms, dukedoms and so on is what is meant by the first verse of the Deutschlandlied (the 3rd verse is our national anthem) when it talks about Germany above all. They mean a unified Germany is more important than anything else. It was never intended to mean that Germany should rule the world or is more important than other countries.

[@zinta0904]

The roofs are not painted it is the color of the material of the shingles. Old cities centres usually are kept the way because of cultural heritage. You see the same color of roof shingles in many countries in central Europe.

[@blendonaut3015]

true - and it was AND IS a thing of.. "i dont care about the costs" ...some matierials are cheap - some not. So you showed a lot with the materials of your building.

[@jarls5890]

The shingles are made from terracotta (which is also used in India) - essentially a type of clay, that when fired (to harden it) - turns into this typical orange/brown color (I am guessing this is from iron present in the clay). You can find this type of roofing all over Europe as it has been traditional for a very long time.

Hello, I am from Germany. 🤭 Of course all these shown places and landscapes exist here in Germany. But keep in mind that the whole video was made like an advertisement video about this country. They picked only the best tourist spots and showed not one single picture from normal german streets and modern cities. Yes, there are many nice litte cities, especially in the south of Germany that have still a lot of middle ages buildings and great churches and castles. Maybe you know that modern Germany was founded in 1871. Before that it did consist of endless amount of little kingdoms and so this is the reason why there are so many castles. But do not think here it's a big deal with royalty, today most castles are used for public buildings, hotels, universities etc. Those that are still in private hand belong sometimes to monument protection societies and can be visited for money. During the war many cities were destroyed nearly completely and not everything was build again to the old layout. There are many places and cities that look completely different from what you sae in this video. Nevertheless Germany is a beautiful country, thats right and its also really diverse from the islands in the see to the mountains in the south. On thing I like to suggest: Your blend in video ist not completely to be seen, there is a part at the bottom missing. You should try to adjust this in future. Thank you for your interest in my home country, I would really like to visit India to see at least one or two places from your gigantic country. 💝

The roof color comes from the material, you fire clay, which turns red-brown to orange that is traditional roof shingles in the past, today you can make the roof shingles in all colors. In order to guarantee a uniform look in inner cities, this color is often prescribed

If Germany is a must visit to you guys: Please take ur time. You need at least a month to see a lot. Otherwise it'll be a tourist visit only, which means you will see the main very crowded "attractions" and the rest you won't see at all. Pro tip: Visit smaller places, villages, something not necessarily on the road map for a normal tourist. Visit places like Esslingen and Ludwigsburg, Gengenbach, Alpirsbach, Freiburg im Breisgau(There are plenty of Freiburg's =free castle) See Berchtesgaden and Oberstdorf, Füssen, Ulm, Köln, Hamburg, Cochem, Heidelberg, if you're into cars and such...Stuttgart has the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museum, Munich has the BMW museum... You get the picture? Yeah, sure, see the major tourist spots, but don't miss out on tiny German villages...they are lovely. I can imagine that the peace and quiet in Germany will be the first culture shock for you. It is quiet here! Even in huge cities you will realise how quiet it is...and I bet this will make you feel uncomfortable...at first. Then you get used to it and when you get home you will be annoyed with the constant noise back home. ^^ I warned you! ^^

The German language is not tough to learn. It is a year of tears and the rest of your life a joy. English is a year of joy and a life-time of tears. Choose wisely! ;-) Don't listen to Mark Twain! It means: German is very logical, very structured and very much obeying its own grammatical cases. So, once you got it and it clicks, you got it forever, and it is getting easier by the day. Englsih is the exact opposite, easy to learn, but hard to master. German is hard to learn, but easy to master. Don't give up! If you are on the verge of: "I want to learn German and possibly move there" go ahead...and do just that. It'll pay off in the long run. Why? German is not only the language. For people from India especially interesting might be the structured language part is also the same structured learning part you will need in the sciences and engineering. It is no coincidence, that the best engineers come from Germany. We are raised to be exactly that. Smart, curious and innovative beings that make the planet a better place for all of us.

Germany has many very beautiful places (as other countries has, too). Owning a castle is very expensive if you want to live in it. Depending on the size of the castle, the upkeep of the castle and the expenses (heating, electricity, water, etc.) can range from around €500,000 to several million euros a year if you want to live in it yourself. That's why many castles (not all) can be visited for a fee, as this allows the castle owners to recoup some of the costs and maintain the castle.

Hundreds? More the 25000 castles and similar buildings, though this number includes ruins.

[@PropperNaughtyGeezer]

Most of the houses were built by people several hundred years ago. Of course not churches and functional buildings. They have been repeatedly modernized, enlarged, expanded and in most inner cities there are regulations on how the outside should be designed. In the game “Manor Lords” you can see how a city is created. Dresden, for example, was completely destroyed in the war. New Soviet style prefab blocks were built there and the historic center was left fallow. It was only around 2005 that a private initiative made up of investors was found to reconstruct the part according to the old model. The buildings are modern but the facades are historical. I was there once when the weather was really good and the view is breathtaking. Is there a documentary about it?

[@luftwolf7405]

*"modern" buildings: mostly made in the 70ies and ugly a.f. (being built quickly, cheap and without even trying to restore some of the former glamour). Of course, there are some exceptions where more modern buildings are looking stylish / fancy or even trying to imitate the old styles.

8:07 Freiburg im Breisgau is my hometown. It is the southest big city in Germany. Through the city, the old town, are floating little creeks called „Bächle“

Others mentioned the roof shingles. But I want to add the note that, due to freezing temperatures in the winter, it is rather unusual to have actual paint on the walls of old buildings (since the color would peel off). This is why old churches have the color of whatever stones were used in their construction, and the same applies to the red roof shingles as well. This is quite a contrast to many places in Asia - when I visited Thailand, for example, it took some time getting used to how colorful many temples were.

[@schlurosaurusrex2827]

The roofing tiles in Germany are traditionally mostly reddish-brown color I'd say. There are areas where black slate is predominant.

That one time we wanted to do our house in a new colour and do a new roof, we had to ask the city first if the colours were okay. Were informed, that it has to fit in the aesthetics of the rest of the houses around us, so no extreme colour. For example I know someone, who wanted to paint their house dark blue, but the city forbid it, so in the end he coloued the fence blue and planted a ton of blue flowers in his yard (house became white with a red-braun roof). 😅 So I think manny old german citys have something like a policy for that, to preserve the historical buildings and atmosphere of older citys, that were not destroyed in the wars.

[@Roberternst72]

2:47 There can be local regulations with regard to the looks of buildings, color and type roof tiles, roof tilt, outer wall colors, size of the building in relation to the size of the piece of land it is standing on, etc etc etc - but sometimes, villages, towns or cities just regulate the size of the building in relation to the plot and occasionally the distance between buildings (the latter for reasons of accessibility of all parts of the building to fire trucks with ladders and water hoses and pumps).

Large buildings: roughly paid for - by the public. Mostly by the citizens (through various "constructs") If it comes to "government" this is a complicated issue, as Germany consisted in the past (before 1806) out of hundreds of largely independent territories. As an example I picked the following 3 which are rather close to each other. But with completely different political (government) structures. 2:23 Nuremberg Free Imperical City (a city-state) Ruled by a lord mayor and the city council (both elected by the citizens). The scene shows in the first place the Imperial Castle. It hosted for long the imperial regalia (which are now in Vienna). It was however an honor to host the emperor when on visit and the imperial regalia (thus Nuremberg paid largely for this as well). Was also one of the biggest cities in the empire. Two (of the many) Free Imperial Cities - Hamburg and Bremen - managed to stay independent and are nowadays own Federal States of Germany. 2:07 Bamberg The capital city of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg Ruled by a prince-bishop (elected by a chapter of local clerics) The legend says that the bishop denied the citizens a plot to build a city hall - thus they built it in the middle of the river (2:14). That's not really correct. But it shows that also these cities had quite some self-rule. 9:17 Landshut The capital city of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut. Ruled by a noble family (succession). Parish Church St. Marin (completed in 1501) is still the highest building made out of bricks (without concrete/steel enforcements) on the planet.

Well, we're just Germans and of course we have rules for all kinds of crap. And of course we also have rules about how you can build your house and what it has to look like. It has to fit in with the rest of the townscape. This means, for example, that you can't build a skyscraper in your village or that the house has to look totally futuristic. That's the reason why our landscapes look so beautiful :)

You maybe will think this guy is kidding, but in old Bavarian the city is called Ming-uh or something like that. München is Munich(Mjunick) in English, but it is Ming-uh in Bavarian. It is only München on paper...^^ (Myn hen) something like that...

[@Astrofrank]

And it's called München in most parts of Germany.

Living in a castle isnt really fun, because it takes work. There is no heating (other than fire) and sanitation isnt really up to standard. At least if the castle is still somewhat original ...

I feel like foreginers get a completely wrong picture of Germany by just looking at these images. It's not all pretty, beautiful, clean and well kept here. These are just cherry picked places. I bet the same video could be made about the place where you live, completely hiding the negatives. The royalty we have is almost completely out of public view and these castle are just cleaned so they are a magnet for tourists. Nothing here is about pride. If you don't go looking for German pride, you won't find it. And if you do find it, it's not what you think it is. The only time Germans are proud to be Germans is when foreginers think about moving here. We are good at selling this land to foreginers allthewhile hating it ourselves. It's really bizarre.

Sat sri akaal! There are a LOT of castles in Germany (there are a lot in Europe as a whole) and up until 1871 there were a lot of small states - a little like the Indian principalities under the Mughals before the British came but some of the states were just a couple of towns in size and others were large areas. In fact the British royal family came from Hannover and had a largish kingdom in Germany until 1838 when Queen Victoria came to the throne and women could not inherit the Hanoverian throne. In 1871 after a series of wars the Prussians came to dominate Germany and formed the "German Empire" and was the first united German state in modern times. This month (May 2024) celebrates 75 years of the current Federal constitution I live in Germany and these are some of the stunning sites in the whole of Germany but there are naturally some less glamorous places. It is sometimes said that Germany is a land with TOO MUCH history.

[@wallerwolf6930]

Yes, Germany is not just beautiful and clean everywhere, just like (almost) every country on this planet is not just beautiful and clean. Nevertheless, you have to look for the less beautiful sides, they are not the rule. In addition, there are so many more beautiful corners that cannot all be shown, even further away from the more internationally known sights. Nobody has to move far here to be able to enjoy the natural landscapes that still exist. Maybe with the exception of the Ruhrpot ;-))

[@johncrwarner]

@@wallerwolf6930 The Ruhrpott does have some pleasant areas and away from the Rhine the towns are in the valleys and the hills are bare. Plus if you like industrial architecture it is an interesting place. The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is in the Ruhr.

You want to buy a castle? There are hundreds in France to sell for a symbolic € The caviat is: you have to restore the castle, but under laws that prohibit you from doing what you want. You have to restore it to its original glory. That is why nobody wants to buy these castles. You can buy a castle, no doubt, but the legal stuff that comes with it is not worth it. Rather do this: Come here, apply for being the castle's administrator/janitor/gardener...maid for everything. There are plenty of opportunities here for that and your girl can be the castle lady living in the highest tower like Rapunzel ^^ I am not kidding you...that is really possible. ^^

The most beautiful part of germany is the north.

[@bastian6625]

Don't agree (even though I like the north).

[@sk21011962]

The north of Germany is beautiful, yes. But the south is much more beautiful than the north with its mountains, hills, forrests and lakes.

[@tbrx296]

As someone who lives in central Germany I think the south is more beautiful, though the north is still nice

[@HenrySimple]

South of Germany is nice, that's true - but the people ... ;)
