You MUST SEE this BEAUTIFUL German medieval town, Hattingen

[@ulrichrenner6256]

I subscribed some months ago because you showed me some place in my own country that I had passed by before on my travels, ignorant of its beauty as I was at the time. Forgot which one it was, because somehow you keep doing that, now you did it again. You have covered many lesser known places, not the ones everybody has heard of, that is special about your channel. Also appreciate your research and storytelling.

[@LaureninGermany]

It was Neuburg, Ulrich, I think! Thank you so much for your lovely words. I really like the lesser known places because I admire the effort the people who live there make, for the love of their town, not for the tourist industry so much. I think it’s what makes Germany such a fabulous country to live in.

[@peter_meyer]

Ooops, she did it again. I know the name of the town, mostly for art events, but i've never been there. Time to visit.

[@LaureninGermany]

Ahhh great! I just filmed another one that is probably relatively unknown and it’s so lovely. Lastrup. Thank you, Peter! Isn’t it super in Hattingen?!

[@peter_meyer]

@@LaureninGermany Looks like very well preserved. Inside most of those houses are pretty modern. Just my guess from what i know from my area. A lot of work, enthusiasm and money is put into it usually. The owners have my honest respect. Waiting for the Lastrup video.

[@LaureninGermany]

@@peter_meyer I saw one being restored. I wouldn’t want to attempt it. I love the contrast of modern inside and old outside. I would like to renovate a stone farmhouse, though.

I should mention that the Zollhaus is not from the 1500´s! It was built to serve a Blacksmith in the 1800´s. I didn´t have time to say this in the video.

[@PalmyraSchwarz]

Hi Lauren, this time you were only 30km away from my hometown. Hattingen has a manageable size and therefore a good recommendation for a half-day tour.

[@LaureninGermany]

Hi Palmyra, yes, it was the perfect stop. Plenty to see, but not overwhelming.

@@LaureninGermany Servus Lauren.... You are too kind. If you ever venture to northern Bavaria, in or around the Fichtelgebirge, you'll be in the region I grew up. It has many pretty and interesting areas and quite a few hikes. I'm sure I'll catch a lot of grief for saying that most places are not quite as scenic, as those in your videos. However the people are friendly, food is great and lots to do outdoors (hiking, biking, skiing etc.) All the best! Peter

[@IsenbergerHerold]

Although my father is from Hattingen, I have never heard or found anything about some "Malewinkel"!? But the word sounds, like it has more likely to do with some old mill, than with painters. 😉 The pictures shown while commenting it, show the "Steinhagen"-way (= "stony pasture"). ... Visitors to Hattingen should also (in its outer areas) considder looking at Burg Blankenstein, a middle-sized castle with some other old buildings by it, and the ruins of Burg Isenberg, with was big in the time it was builded, and now lies on a nice foresty mountain.

[@LaureninGermany]

Hallo Tobias, if you look on the town‘s homepage, you will find the information, plus a picture of the Malerwinkel there.

[@hansmarheim7620]

Oh... Just when i thought i had seen all of your videos, both the travel vlogs and the musical once from Voice Passion, KZbin suddenly recommended this one to me. That is so great. We have this kind of buildings in Denmark as well. Both in Danish cities like Aalborg, and in rural farm houses. Not so many preserved in Norway. I was once told by a friend of mine that Oslo is attractive to architectural tourists even though Oslo is a rather small city. Because over a relatively small area there are buildings representing more than 11 hundred years. Over the years i have visited different places in Germany maybe 25 times. Really lots of times to Kiel, a few times to Hamburg, Hannover, Cologne, Neunkirchen and some other places. I love so many aspects of german culture. Thanks for another great video.👍

​@@LaureninGermanyHi Lauren. Of course i recommend Copenhagen. Aarhus have "Den gamle by" The old city. Quite famous. And Aalborg which i live close to, of course. Besides Denmark have some of the best preserved Viking fortifications in Europe. Even listed as world heritage. One to which i only live only some kilometers away; "Aggersborg".
