The heart of Europe! 🖤❤️💛

[@jeffwalker9486]

I am an American living and working in Germany for 30 years,I still love to visit the various German cities and towns,the video showed mostly castles and churches from allover Germany, those"pointy things",are steeples,built up toward heaven, directly to God,was the intention, you have four basic architectural styles, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance,and Baroque. Liked your reaction

[@javierturcamaro6883]

Otro que no sabe de que habla....esos no son castillos,son palacios,algo totalmente diferente....

I was in germany when i was child. There are no paintings, its heart of europe.

[@EnyelNesnaj]

keep us the germans down even we dont know much we still very strong

[@marksheridan8813]

Germany is a fascinating country. It's history has dictated its architecture, given that Germany was separated by many states before 1871, After the Franco-Prussian war Germany was united. Remember too, the larger cities like Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, and Frankfurt were very badly bombed by the British and the American air forces in World War Two. After the war, the cities were rebuilt in both ancient, and modern styles. Dresden is a perfect example of this. To appreciate Germany, you have to go there and explore, and it has a fantastic railway system, the DB. The ICE are the fast trains that run throughout the country. Germany is efficient, and laid back.

[@Markus-n3s]

Yes, the fact that Germany has so many magnificent buildings and castles is because it consisted of around 300 little countries for most of its existence various kingdoms, duchies, city states etc, and each sovereign put in so much effort to stand out. Other than countries like France, which consolidated very early in her history with only Paris being magnificent and the rest of the country is basically only an adjacent to the main center of power. Germany is structured very decentral and therefore, very tight and indestructible in its foundation

[@blendonaut3015]

you forgot to mention that dresden bombing was a war crime. i bet you are an anglo. Writing like its just a "funfact" ^^.. mhm...

[@DJMike1968]

I am very happy that I can live in this beautiful Germany. I come from Thuringia (The Green Heart of Germany).

[@publicminx]

Germany is the dominant center of Europe with the most European neighbors: Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, Poland, Czech, Denmark, Belgium. Germany has the biggest economy in Europe and the 4th biggest in the world (after USA, China and Japan). Germany has the highest population in Europe (after Russia). Germany has most castles in the world. Germany invented almost everything of the modern world: cars, bikes, motor cycles, helicopters, glider, rockets, jet engine, computer, tv, phone, light burb, dynamo, street cars/trams, mp3, x-ray, lcd screens, magazines, printing press (and modern paper, both together made it then mainstream), globe, aspirin, periodic table, relativity theory, nuclear power, chip card, first mRNA vaccine vs. covid and masses of other things more. One also has to keep in mind that Proto-Germanic spread from Germany (at first to Northern Europe). Proto-Celtic culture spread from the region of Southern Germany/Austria. The last relevant one, the Proto-Italics btw, was also origined not far away, from Hungary (went then over the Alps, later further South (the Latins were just the most dominant tribes). Modern European history is basically: Germanic tribes vs. Roman Empire, over the time the Germanic tribes took over and spread over most parts of Europe till North Africa. Thats why England got its name (Angeln tribe), AngloSaxon (Angeln and Saxon tribes, France (named after the Germanic Frankish tribe, just like Frankfurt or Frankenstein (a castle and family living in that in Germany) and so on... apropos: that most of the world writes now with lower-upper case and spaces between words and a modern interpunction is one of the reforms Karl der Grosse (Charles the Great/Charlemagne) initated - in Aachen/Germany. That 'French' sounds so different to other Romanic languages sexy is btw also due to the influences of the old Germanic Frankish dialect. Spanish has also some Germanisms in it, the Lombards in Italy etc.

1:06 the music is "Victory" by "Two Steps From Hell", one of the most awesome music I've ever heard. Usuallly Thomas Bergerson, the founder of TSFH allows the usage of most of his music for videos like this one. Even though it's basically copyrighted, its okay to use it (unless it's his latest song). Edit: I've seen your entire video by now. You know, some buildings in Germany (and basically all of europe) have been build hundreds of years ago, sometimes thousands of years. The oldest building still standing in my city (founded in the 8th century AD) the so called "Haus Buckshook" was built all the way back in 1657. That building is more than 350 years old, and still in its original state. Maybe that's what is so impressive when it comes to some german/ european buildings. They're not build for a live, but for centuries to come, they are older than most countries in the world. 15:01 I'll give you one more. Did you know that the german language is actually older than spanish, french, english, portugese and even italian? When the germanic tribes created proto-german, the italians were speaking latin, and french/ english spoke celtic.

[@nicolepackeiser9681]

That's all Germany And we are so proud of our country

[@incmarcie6156]

I think in this Video you can only see some of the popular places but there is so much more in unpopular places, which you can only find if you know some germans. For example the architecture and nature of "Bad Urach" or "Breitenstein" in central Baden-Württemberg. Nobody knows it but it has so much history and is so beautiful.

[@jenatix8664]

very expensive in Europe. In Germany most people don't are homeowners.

[@blackangel9594]

Germany is more thn 2000years old!!

If you want to travel a lot then you should not go for an American passport, as it is not nearly as powerful as most European passports. The most powerful (in sense of traveling visa free) passports in 2023 are 1st Singapore, 2nd Germany, Italy, Spain, Austria, Finland. The US passport comes in around place 25.

[@lent10]

The step roofs are build like this to allow the snow mass to slight to the ground, its from a time pre climate change when heavy snow was a thing. The price per average of a house is 3.461 Euro per m² (in cities is way more) and the median income is 44.074 Euro. Its so bad that most younger people cant afford to build a house and need to inherit one.

[@987mike]

This is real. Every single view. That’s normal for a german. 😊 you should visit the heart of europe.

[@robbypolter6689]

I'm sorry, but that's only one side of the coin. As an original Berliner, you also know the dark sides and they are increasing more and more. Even major tourist attractions have been classified as dangerous places by the Berlin police. These are places where you can quickly become a victim of a crime. Certain parks in Berlin are firmly in the hands of drug traffickers and drug trafficking takes place in broad daylight. Certain neighborhoods are becoming increasingly slumbering. Since 2015, the crime rate has exploded and there is no end in sight.

maybe it would be a good idea to use the subtitles to get informations about the cities in the video.....but when the attention span leasts only three minutes until the focus is EVERYWHERE but the video subtitles wouldn´t help,too.

[@madhatter9322]

Germany has more than 25,000 historical buildings such as castles, palaces, ruined churches, etc. more than any other in the world. Unfortunately, this country, my country, has now become very sick and I hope that it will flourish again like it used to.

[@Morph-ur3fx]

thank you for your video..greetings from germany

[@helmutkoohl8652]

thats what the video was produced for. don't be shy, you can use it, for free using without business. if you ask how we feel watching those parts of germany, i only can tell you: it's my home, for me is normal to live here, and believe me: it' real...😉😉

[@jensk4198]

its hard to explain, but as a german, when u see 3 or 5 different citys, every city looks sometime in some corners, like the same. Its nothing Special to see a castle here, but i like the videos from the people who flipping out, its look like they seeing a UFO or something other strange 🤣🤣

[@bastibackmann]

If you watch the video and activate subtitles you see the names of the citys, castles, monuments and cathedrals,

[@berndgaal7689]

Considering that most of Germany had been destroyed in WW2 its still beautiful. But it cost a lot of money as you can imagine.

[@entenigelpfau]

Germany has a lot of culture and history - not many other countries have such a history! You did not know that?! Did you live under your carpet for "i-dont-know" how long?!

[@johnnyringo80]

To answer your question, yes, for us living here, all this is pretty normal. Germany's history goes back thousands of years, so stuff like this just accumulates over time. The video shows the highlights, like the old quarters and big cathedrals of the major cities, but even in small villages you'll find houses at least a couple of 100 years old, the church will be most likely from some more centuries ago and there's always a good chance that a medieval castle ruin is to be found somewhere in the vicinity (if not some roman structure or a stone age burial mound).

[@LodrikBadric]

6:40 I think those 'pointy things' you're referring to are towers, in this case two bell towers of a church. Most bigger churches like e.g. cathedrals are structured in this way: big pointy bell tower and a nave where the people can have ceremony and worship. Castles can have towers for defensive purposes too and cities built towers with a pointy roof to defend themselves.

[@M0ralAp0stel]

Thank you for your awesome reaction to one of the best videos showing the beautiness of germany 2:00 _Germany is known for_ I think there is a lot germany is known for (bread, beer, cars, technology, science, architecture, nature) and you don't need to correct the inventions, because the germans have made a lot of world changing inventions. 4:27 _You guys are lying_ I can assure you that Germany looks exactly like this. There is nothing extra glossed over, altered or cleaned. 6:02 _Germans and Dutch_ There is not a big difference between Germany and the Netherlands. We're more like brother and sister (who didn't always like each other), have the same ideas, the same values and a long history together. 7:32 _your favourite building style_ It is called "Fachwerk" or in english "half-timbered", a special building style that was probably developed in the 12th century 9:02 _Beauty of Germany_ Unfortunately, most of us no longer see the true beauty of our homeland. We were born and raised here and have basically never seen anything else. It is completely normal for us to be surrounded by such beauty that we have become blind to it. That's why I love reactions like yours. Because that makes me realize what a treasure we have here. 11:01 _American passport_ I would rather try to get a European passport than an American one. We have a lot more freedom to travel and a European passport would help you more should you ever want to move here. As a note: In Germany we currently have a severe shortage of skilled workers and the immigration laws have therefore been relaxed somewhat. So if you have an education that is relevant in Germany, this could be your ticket here 13:03 _Modern buildings_ It is not our capital that has the most modern buildings. It's Frankfurt, the financial center of Germany 13:33 _Most countries wants modern buildings_ Yeah, not in Germany. We are proud of our traditionel, historic buildings and do everything we can to preserve them for the future. Some cities even have laws prohibiting the construction of skyscrapers or other taller buildings

[@Schnittwin]

"I can assure you that Germany looks exactly like this. There is nothing extra glossed over, altered or cleaned." - Yes, but cmon. Nobody has ever seen "only" these sites when travelling or going on a tour, except videos like these. When you really are there, you see all the mundane, ugly, forgettable places as well. It's not all sunshine, epic music and historic buildings in Germany, or any country. "It is completely normal for us to be surrounded by such beauty that we have become blind to it." - Really depends on where you live. You were born in the Ruhr area, or basically any larger city? Not a coincidence that none of these places are shown here, as they really can't be described as particularly pretty. But yes, we should appreciate more what Germany has to offer; it's certainly not worse than other european countries & good for city trips or seing nature.

[@Soulscreamer7]

It really feels like every small town (I live in one with around 33,000 inhabitants) has a castle or something similar. There is a McDonald's near me but no Bürger King or (unfortunately no Subway)

[@markusschenkl7943]

In Germany the share of renters is higher than that of home owners. Currently it's about 60/40 if I remember correctly. There are several reasons for this: After WW II many residential buildings were destroyed, so there was a need to get a huuuge amount of people back into housing asap - that's when large apartment blocks came into the game (actually those existed since the industrial revolution in the 1850s, but after the war the share of that type of housing grew dramatically). Even after times got better, many people stuck to renting as a) building ground is rare (Germany has the size of Montana but 84 million people...) and expensive and b) building restrictions add A LOT to the cost of building a house. Everything has to be done to certain standards and that makes it very expensive, unfortunately. A normal family home in a suburb nowadays cost 400k Euros or more. A 2 bedroom condo in smaller city starts at around 200 or 250k. For comparison: In France you can get a small home for about 100k Euros in the countryside... (France is almost double the size of Germany but only has around 62 million people).

[@entenigelpfau]

These buildings, you see here, are many hundreds of years old and still exist - super solid nearly un-destroyable! Pure quality for eternity! Here, in germany we live in solid houses made of stone ; no plastic, no weak wooden houses nor any weak materials are used. Compare this to the US ; one Tornado destroyes every single house / building - with our buildings this will never happen!

Germany is more than 2000 years old and we have 20,000 castles, palaces and ruins. We are 83 million inhabitants, we are not a toy country 😂 I'm surprised that you don't learn geography at school.

[@Komponiert-oe7md]

The reason Germany (and Northern European countries) have more pointed roofs is that there is more snow there in winter. Wet snow, in particular, can be very heavy, causing flat roofs to collapse. With pointed roofs, the snow also falls off more easily.

[@TheAxel65]

Steep roofs are very common because during winter there might be some heavy snow and the steeper the roof the less pressure and weight your roof hast to withstand.

The architecture comes from a time when us Germans were still in charge. Sadly it's not what we build today. Hopefully there will come a time when that changes again. As of now we are living off of the beauty that our ancestors left us for us to look at and maintain, even if there is no emotional connection for most. And don't forget; This is just a cmall caption of everything what Germany is today. This architecture is not found everywhere here. Beauty is one thing, livability another. We have more than enough problems, just like every other country. I bet you that there are just as beautiful places anywhere else in the world. The grass just seems greener when you are looking from the outside. Don't get fooled.

[@thomassiegler5180]

Nice reaction. The 5th Scene is my Hometown Schwäbisch Hall.

[@Justforvisit]

3:28 That monument there is a very special one, it's the so called "Hermannsdenkmal" in the Teutoburg Forest and it was build there to remember of the Varus battle, where the germanic tribes united under Arminius defeated three whole roman legions who were way better equipped and trained, it can be seen as the "Birthplace" of Germany as a united country. Of course Germany from that point on often changed over time, but everything before it was just some nomadic tribes roaming around the lands. It also was the heighest statue in the western world before the Statue of Liberty was built.

[@Bob_ZonFister]

[@rh-yf6cg]

I think architecture in a country depend from the climate. so the roof form in germany depends from rain and snow in winter. And in my oponion as a german there are more old looking cities in the south of germany. and some built up in old faschion after destroies in WW 2. In the north often in that time the city government decided to be modern , be good for cars. So this citys has often only few old houses and the cenery is not so much romantic. Besides that germany have much little old cities which has in a period of their history a bigger meaning - and build then beauty houses. This long list of cities is because of the long list of lordships in former times. So much local cultures could exist and left little stories in architecture an others. Nice to see your interest - was never at the Philipines- must be cultural very interesting too.
