I came to Germany in 1986 and loved it so much I decided to stay. I have never regretted that decision.
Herzlich Willkommen.👍
Job?

Christmas time in Germany is really cool, a lot of the old medieval towns offer some nice experience for travellers.
especially rothenburg ob der tauber and nuremberg/nürnberg
And there were medieval festivals during summer before the pandemic. I loved the knight fights, the food and of course the medieval music.

@@christianschadlich6572 Zu Hause ist auch schön 😀
The Roofs are mostly red, because they are decked in cinder tiles, and the sloping depends on the average snowfall in the area (the more, the steeper, to let it slide off)!
Hi! Thanks for watching :) That makes a ton of sense!
and there a strickt regulations. it has to fit to the area were you build even when you install solar panels the whole roof.
Naja ich sag mal so da wo du viele rote Dächer siehst weißt du das dort der Mittelpunkt der Stadt ist, dort fing die Stadt damals an zu leben, heute sagt man Altstadt früher als man noch eine Mauer um die Städte hatte war das halt die komplette Stadt, deswegen auch so viele Häuser auf engsten raum
In some regions the roofs are covered with dark grey tiles and in others, grey slate is used. Slate can be used to cover the walls, too.
the Castles back in the day where the Residences of the local Authority to enforce the law and also give protection from raiding partys thats why we have so much here in Germany.. today most of them are a Museum which you can visit.. but quite a few are still inhabited from the actual Descendants (yes we still have "royals" including their titles (mostly dukes) but since the Monarchy ended after World War 1 its more like a nice gimmick to have than actual power related unlike the british who still use The Monarchy Government
Good summary, hope they read the comment
@@bta7658 Thx =) and.. well if not you and a few more did.. so already worth it =)
You know the monarchy doesn't actually have any real power in the UK right? The UK is a democracy - power is wielded by parliament.
some are also Hotels
@@JenMaxon Yes, but there still is the house of Lords that has at least some role in legislation and the Queen is the official head of state, even if her role is mostly ceremonial. In Germany, nobility has no political function at all. Actually OP wasn't even 100% correct when he stated that we still "have royals". Nobility and noble titles are officially abolished in Germany, the nobles were just allowed to keep their noble titles as part of their surnames (Contrary to Austria, where the noble titles were removed even from the names and the descendant of the Kaiser is now just "Mr. Habsburg")
I don't know why but this video made me a bit emotional. I've been living in Germany about 10 years now. It's a beautiful country to live, to be happy, to make amazing memories. All these old buildings, red rooftops, mountains etc. Yes, we have countless mountains you can visit and hike there. Beeing up there. Feels like you're 🤷♀️ i just cant describe it. It's amazing. You can see everything from there. Rivers, lakes, nature. And yes, our castles really are magical. Even tho i haven't visited them all yet 😄
Germany is the most beautiful country in my opinion because it’s so breathtaking. Also the little cottages are adorable and the people that I met there were so welcoming and very sweet
SO beautiful! Thanks for watching, Callie!!! :)
Only in the south

Once a friend told me: "Visiting Germany is like visiting Tolkien's Middle-Earth: Hobbiton, Gondor, Rohan, Erebor, Lake-Town, etc. etc." -> Germany has it ALL for REAL!" -> After watching this video I think: "Okay, she might be right!"
Germany has a so long and colorful history. My own small hometown has a history that reach back to the year 1212 when it was first mentioned.
Germany has a lot of islands (100+). I highly recommended a trip to Germany. you won't regret it.
AH, a "Neustadt". In 1212 our local church was burnt down four times... Spass :=) (Not for those how had to rebuild the church....)
@@nymanton3223 :D It's kind of funny how sometimes smaller villages are "older" then bigger ones, just because they were mentioned somewhere earlier :D I mean my little village of about 2000 people was first mentioned in 888, which makes it the "oldest" one from all the surrounding towns. But of course they are in reality much older, probably going back to germanic times. :)
@@Valfara770 Yeah, Before I moved to a big city I lived in one of those permanent little villages too. They remind me of the kid Oskar from "Die Blechtrommel" who decided to not to grow anymore. 🥁🎶👍🏿
@@Valfara770 Ein sehr einschneidendes Ereignis, war auch der 30 jährige Krieg. Manche vorher bedeutende Städte, sanken zur Bedeutungslosigkeit herab. Andere, kleinere Ortschaften, sogar unweit größerer Städte, verschwanden vollkommen. Es ist ein Aspekt, der heute sehr gerne vergessen wird, aber der Krieg kostete 1/3 der Bevölkerung das Leben...
Well, Germany is perhaps less heroic as the music, but I love my country. And it is good to see, that americans can learn more about germany. We are not only Bavaria, beer, Lederhosen and Dirndl.
Thanks for watching! Eager to learn more :)
germany is much more heroic than the music
@@luriwerfer3 true
Was schreibst du den da?Deutschland ist besser als seine Musik und nicht schlechter!
@@luriwerfer3 I think thats what he mean.We germans are not perfekt in your language.
I like how you can see buildings or whole cities from different timelines. We Germans sure know how to preserve our past. I like that and it's important, too!
The use of the castles nowadays can vary a lot. What you would describe as a castle was either the residence of a noble who ruled the area or
a defensive position/fortress and often both at the same time. Castles that are still owned by the original noble family or someone who bought
it from that family are either simply a private residence for the owner or partly museum and partly residence, if it is big enough. As Selena said,
some can also be used as event locations. Older castles that are not very suitable to live in or are owned by the city/state are usually
pure tourist attractions and event locations. Some have museums in it or restaurants nearby others are simply ruins on top of a hill that you can hike to.
Some old residences may also be owned by the state and are housing some kind of official institution. The official residence of the German president for example
is also a castle.
Oh that is super interesting!!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this thoughtful comment :) We LOVE seeing the beautiful castles of Germany
@@tktoptravel In German that are actually different words for castle...a "Schloss" which is the direct translation is basically some place some ruler built to brag (seriously, those things were a thing for a while and a lot of them are barely 200 years old). Then there are "Festungen" which is the closest translation to fortress, which is a structure built mostly for defence...you find those usually at the coast and in some mountains. And finally there is the "Burg", which is basically a castle which were built for defence, meaning the thing which inspired the castles later on. Those are the truly old buildings which are truly worth seeing. The most famous one is "Burg Eltz" which is special not just because it is so old, but also because it is still owned by the original family.
If you want to see a lot of the old one, take a tour down the Rhine.
@@tktoptravel well you are TK Top TRAVEL so you should come here and see for yourself ❤️ I would be glad to show you around
The names of all the sights and cities are shown in the original video when you put the subtitels on.
Our school even looks like a tiny castle😂I feel like here in Germany there is a castle in nearly every city
That is cool! :) And yeah, at least in the southern parts, the northern ones missing the mountains for it! :D
I don't even want to know how beautiful germany would be if so much had not been destroyed in WWII.
I'm still surprised how much we managed to save and restore.
Indeed! Weep for poor Frankurt am Main. :(
@@LodrikBadric And Dresden.
@@Souru_TV Yes also Dresden👍🏻 But the difference is that they rebuilt much of Dresden in it's original form and they aren't even finished yet. Frankfurt on the other hand looks like any modern big city.
after all these years, you can't stop offense germans because what their grandfathers did ??? i lost family members in those dark times, but should i hate this country / men 4 all the time? no, sorry.
11:00 this building is the University of Bonn :D A lot of these castles were residential buildings for monarchs. There used to be thousands of noble families who would own these. A lot of them are still owned today by these former noble families. However, most of the biggest ones are owned by the states and serve as museums, parliaments or any other kind of public space for events etc.
At 04:10 you have "the German".
This statue is called "Hermann der Cherusker" a soldier and later officer at the Roman Army (Legionär) who was actually called Arminius. He was born as a German, given to the Roman Empire to learn the Roman art of war. He later deserted the Legion and lead the German Tribes to fight the Roman Legions and defeat them. It was later told that he was the liberator of the German tribes. In the late 19th century he was made to be the Idol of the real German. The Statue stands at the assumed late border between the Roman Empire and the "free" Land of the German tribes. He is looking west where the Empire was located but when build it was also a warning to France (the archenemy of Prussia at the time the monument was build).
Funny story: I grew up somewhere near Kalkriese where they thought the Varusschlacht (battle against the Romans) happend because they found that cool mask there. So in elementary school we had a whole school trip to the museum and learned about culture of Germanic tripes at that time and how they won against the better organized and equipped Romans and all that.
Now I study in Detmold and everywhere I go Hermann is standing above giving his fuck you to the world.
I don't know if other people find it funny but I personally think it's hilarious.
The two cities not only belong to two differnet regions but two seperate states and are both claiming the victory above the Roman empire as 'their thing' :D
even when i look out my window i see our "hermann" =) greetings from detmold where this statue stands
The original use of the "castles" was different. A so-called Schloss was the residence of people like principals and kings, designed for representation. A Burg on the other hand was a fortification, sometimes to protect, sometimes to control, sometimes to enforce.
To me it's always funny how Americans are surprised by all the castles and historic architecture in Germany. Where do you think all the imagery in fairytales of knights in shiny armour come from (Grimm etc.)? Modern depiction of medieval times is mostly based in Germany/central Europe. The closest castle (10min drive) was build around 1200 (Schloss Burg).
You have a castle called Schloss Burg? 😂
@@stopske9332 yeah pretty ironic, Schloss = Castle, Burg = Castle, the Burg (Berg) part is the name of the Duke who lived there, over the centuries Berg evolved to Burg. It's the biggest intact castle in North Rhine Westphalia
@@juliang5772 ahhh yeah Schloss Berg makes sense:)
Generally castle names are kinda funny like citys that came from castles and therefore took the name of the castle? The castle is now called "Burg original name of the Burg containing -burg". So like Burg Nürburg or Burg Tecklenburg. But I guess that goes for a lot of things. You could say stuff like the Münster zu Münster or the Furt zu Frankfurt or the Bremerhafen Hafen. History is some funny stuff:)
And you can drive to Schloss Burg via trolley bus, which is a very effective way of public transport.
@@juliang5772 Es wäre auch durchaus möglich, Schloss, mit dem Begriff Palace zu übersetzten. Passt vielleicht ein wenig besser...
Don't know if you tried it yet, but you can watch the video with subtitles. They say which places are shown.
You have See this Films from Germany and say Ahhh and Ohhh. But say not Ahhh and Ohhh, come to Germany, you are Welcome!🤝❤️
The all-mirrors-building is the ‚Eöbphilharmonie‘ in Hamburg, a recently build concert hall in Hamburg.
@@Michael_Bonn Yep! Und ausserdem, scheint fast keiner mehr Korrektur zu lesen, bevor was raus gehauen wird. Arge Unsitte das...
I've never seen my country so beautiful. "It's so easy and quick to forget where you actually live. "THX" for this Video!"
So true ☺️ geht mir genauso 😄
We Germans have more castles than American McDonald's branches. XD
Actually, I'm surprised so many castles survived WWII. UK called that : "carpet bombing". The dark and light bricks on Dresden church are the only "visible" scars.
@@jemilambi The dark and light stones are simply replaced stones. This has nothing to do with the bombing. They are constantly being renewed. The castles are always outside of cities, which means that no castles were bombed. Unfortunately, not all cities were rebuilt so beautifully. Many beautiful buildings were simply replaced by ugly 50s and 60s buildings. See the cities in the Ruhr area. But even the cities that now have beautiful buildings were far from completely rebuilt. It's just small parts of the cities.
True 👌 Und das vom Allerfeinsten
Hallo ihr 2, es gibt noch viel viel mehr in Deutschland zu entdecken! Herzlich Willkommen in Deutschland!
5:50 ~ish is Dresden. It was almost totally destroyed by bombs within one Single night at the end of WW2. It took a lot of effort to rebuild those buildings the way they looked like before this (stupid) war.
the one where you ask where this is is called the Zwinger, an open place for everyone to visit (except for the museums that are located there... there you'll have to pay for the entry)
If you ever happen to visit Germany please Plan 1-2 days for Dresden. It really, really... i mean really is a very beautiful City.
Germany has 25.000 Castles Palace and ruins .
The most on the Rhine River. Most Castle were build opposite to an other Castle.
Burg Ertz still belongs to the same family since is build in the 12 century.
Other belongs to the state.
Wow I didn't know that about Burg Ertz. That's amazing 😃
Yeah..... been there.... seen it almost all, living 5 km from the German border. Great country to visit.
Wie nett! Hört man nicht von jedem unserer friesischen Brüder. Spezieller Gruß nach Den Helder! Ich hoffe euch geht's gut...
In the Middle Ages, castles also served to protect the population and as a defensive structure. These were built on hills to be able to defend themselves better because the opponent had to conquer the hill first. Some castles are museums, others are boarding schools or Walddorf schools.
Most of these homes in the old villages are close to 1000 years old. Back then they didn't need to be further apart
"I wonder what that is"... it is a place that also your man would love... It is called "Kloster Weltenburg" and is the oldest Monastic Brewery in the World, founded around 617 AD and having been in operation as a brewery since 1050 AD - and they still making delicous beer - for example: the "Kloster Weltenburg Barock Dunkel" wons 3 times the title "Best Dunkel Beer in the World"
7:28 Monument of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor ("Barbarossa")
>>Legend says he is not dead, but asleep with his knights in a cave in the Kyffhäuser mountains in Thuringia or
Mount Untersberg at the border between Bavaria, Germany, and Salzburg, Austria,
and that when the ravens cease to fly around the mountain he will awake and restore Germany to its ancient greatness.
According to the story, his red beard has grown through the table at which he sits. His eyes are half closed in sleep,
but now and then he raises his hand and sends a boy out to see if the ravens have stopped flying.
🧐 4:56 - "Das Weltenburger Kloster" famous for its old History as a Monastery, its famous Architecture, for its beautiful Position on a peninsula of the River Danube.. but most of all for its famous Beer 😄🍺 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weltenburg_Abbey I have been there twice as Tourist, its a great Place and also the Nature around is good in any Season, even Winter. Definatly worth a Trip 😉👍 Gruß aus Deutschland 👋
5:42 - "Der Dresdner Zwinger" - In the City of Dresden. The King of Saxony build it in the Times of Baroque
7:23 - "Das Kyffhäuser Monument" - The Statue is King Friedrich Barbarossa, there is a Legend, he will return one day, waiting in the Mountain, he is sitting there and waiting for so long, that his Beard grew through the table.
the roof tiles are made of clay with high iron oxide content...when you burn that clay in order to become a solid ceramic material then it is naturally getting a red colour...
Those iron oxide clay roof tiles are lasting for over 30 years without having to seal them over and over again and are therefore very efficient, that´s the reason why all have those.
Castles were mostly built to secure roads, fords, mines or on strategic places for the defense of a county. They could also be simply a secure place to live for a knight family.
The architecture is even more stunning if one remembers, that almost all bigger cities were destroyed to at least 60% during WW2, the city centers were almost 80% destroyed and some smaller cities lost over 90% percent of their houses. The city that was destroyed the most in WW2 was "Düren" with 99% lost houses. Everything had to be rebuilt, houses, churches, some castles, statues, ...
That modern city with all the skycrapes is "Frankfurt", also fondly calles "Mainhatten" as it resembles Manhatten.
steep rooftops are very common in areas with heavy snowfall - it causes the built up snow to fall down. if the snow wouldnt slide down, the sheer weight would cause the roof to collapse
You did it! Great job guys! Honestly thank you for that reaction - video!
But guys as i mentioned in the suggestion you could turn on the subtitles and see the name of every place and of course a short explanation.
After enjoying your video i`ve got a simple question : When do you guys come over and visit germany! ;-)
Again thank you for fulfilling the suggestion!
That was great!
If you´re interested i´ve got another suggestion :
In order to see what travelling in germany could be like please take a look and reaction to the video from the channel : FLYING THE NEST the title of the video is : DER TOP ORT IN DEUTSCHLAND ZU BESUCHEN !! (about 490.000 views).
The channel is based in Australia so all the stuff is in english. These two nice people from Australia travel all over the world (currently they are three because they got a baby recently) the videos from these channel are so well done......but explore on your own!
Again love and respect from germany!
My apologies, I'll translate this with google. from German to English. uh i have to smile.
I am from Germany. It's nice to see that you love your country. We keep our culture. We have a long and ancient culture that goes back well over 2000 years. To really get to know our country you would have to live 3 or 4 years and also travel the country! I would like that too, the story with you is not old but also interesting.😀😃😄😁🤣
09:07 is a train station close to my home I've spent there some time - it's the trainstation from Hanover. You see bigger cities like Hamburg, Dreseden, Frankfurt, Berlin (my mum's hometown I adore), Cologne the cathedral you thought looked golden in the night shot is a famous sight there, then a lot of smaller cities. Yeah in Germany the red tinted roofs were common nowadays it's changing up a bit, we redid our roof 8 years ago it's shinny black now before it was red. I'm not sure if it's common in the US, because in Sitcoms and the textbook you only read about malls, but in Germany it us actually common to have 1 large street where cars aren't allowed and you have all these shops to do your shopping (H&M, Adidas, Calvin Klein) you're just strolling through the street doing some shopping. Also yeah here are many castles, one former school of mine actually used to be a castle and was even called castle school while I was a student my school actually had a 500th Year Anniversary we celebrated. Really enjoyed your reaction. Also about the castles they used to be the homes from dukes and such, however nowadays they are mostly museums where you can view how royalty used to live. I remember visiting the Charlottenburger castle in Berlin as a child seeing beds and I thought that those are children beds but no they were the beds of adults, people used to be so much smaller than they are nowadays.😅 some are event locations as well you can rent it for weddings for example castle weddings are pretty popular around here.
Oh my gosh, a castle wedding would be beautiful!!!! Thanks for pointing out those different locations in Germany!! Loved seeing the architecture and landscape! So nice!! Thanks for watching, Selena!!
Best regards from Germany. That's why I love my country so much.
And now imagine it without WW2 bombings that leveled most larger cities.
Not judging.
Okay, imagine, the germans wouldn't have started WW2, then you can imagine how it perhaps would have been without bombing.

Cool video. I enjoyed to watch the video from my home country and realized that i know nearly 75 % of the places. It was great to see your reactions to our beautiful country. Now you saw the architecture and nature from all the different folks which built this country (what you learned from the geography and history video).
And girl i really love the new hairstyle, so cute with the curls 👍👍
Aw thank you SO much :) That’s so nice of you to say! We really enjoyed learning more about Germany! Can’t wait to see more soon!!
A lot of old historical cities were destroyed in WW II. Some of them were rebuilt after the war, but not all.
my school owned one castle on the river mosel and so we drove there every year with teh class for 1 week holiday trip ^^
so many castles like this one are hotels, or owned by schools for trips for the children so they can go and live there for a week and A LOT A LOT are museums.
even more of course are just ruins you can visit. and some are still lived in by the people who owned them for centuries xD same with some of the huge palaces often you can visit as a museum like 3/4 of the castle or palace and 1/4 is still lived in by the family owning it and they basicly pay all the reperations and the maintenence by the money coming from visitiors
My school had been a monastery before so it's also a very beautiful old histoeical building from around 1200 I think ☺️
man youre a really cute couple first of all, and i really dont like reaction videos but you seem like very genuine and nice people that are trying to make it
good luck to you personally and professionally, love from germany
Germany has a very old history. The oldest castles are from the middle age . Sometimes just ruins . These and the younger castles are still tourist atractions. The world most famos castle is in Bavaria. Schloss Neuschwanstein is also known from Disney .
Go and plan a trip to germany, i think your german viewers will help you to find the best spots to vist 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 greetings from Austria 🇦🇹
Today castles are usualy used as museums and museum is not only a kind of entertainment but its mostly a scientific research place for historians, archeologists, and recently there are many groups of historical reenacment (popular known as knights teams) who work there and show their skills to turists. :)
Europe is so filled of history and beauty.
I actually work at the place at 9:02. It‘s called the „New Town Hall“ and is located in Hanover. It still is the main seat of administration and was first opened in 1913.
„I wonder what their school buildings look like.“. - lol #Betonklotz 😂
7:42 to 8:01 is my Hometown!
Hamburg/Germany
Oh wow that’s so sweet!!!! Thanks for watching :)
The houses at 14:17 are located in the "Alter Flecken" in the small town of Freudenberg. Try an image search and you will notice how awesome (and almost unreal) this place looks.
I love Dr.Ludwig
Perhaps quite interesting for you: Many of the castles and palaces are still inhabited by princely families, such as the castle in Sigmaringen.

5:43 - 5:55 is the Zwinger in the city of Dresden. If I remember correctly it was built for a ruler as a party location. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwinger_(Dresden)
This makes it look like Germany just consists of castles and mideval towns 😄 when actually we do have normal modern cities and ugly places aswell 😂 but it's really beautiful to see all these places packed into one video. I actually live in a very cute mideval town and my school was a monastry so a very historic building 😁
Yeah, come to northern germany and you willl find a lot less old towns with red roofs^^
nice, i saw the city i live in. it's called Neuburg an der Donau in Bavaria. It is a small town with only 30,000 inhabitants.
The statue at minute 7:29 was :
The Kyffhäuser Monument depicts Emperor William I and Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa.
The monumental memorial was erected between 1890 and 1896 in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm I. It is the third largest monument in Germany and belongs to a series of Emperor William monuments which were built in his honor after his death. Apart from a equestrian statue of the Emperor and a crowned tower, which is a good vantage point, the monument also contains an image of Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. According to a legend, the former emperor of the Holy Roman Empire is supposed to sleep in the Kyffhäuser and wait for the unification of Germany. So in the double monument Frederick I awakes slowly, because this unification was achieved by Emperor William I.
7:30 it's the Statue of Babarosa on the Kyffhäuser Mountain.
The Cologne Cathedral is the most beautiful Building, it Took 632 years from the beginning of construction to the end of construction, an insane achievement
Some of oldest cties in Europe IMO are build on square plans becouse at first these were the plans of Roman empire military camps (squares) and some of the newer cities were build arround early medieval churches (more "circular" plans) And squares can be easily walled, protected and some kind of "circular" plans can be used most easily in hills areas where most of the fortresses and castles were build. A forest steep hill sorrounded by water is the best place to made fortress.
The Castle in my hometown today is the main building of the university

You two are too cute.
Love all the way from cologne germany :)
The Hermanns memorial can be seen briefly in the video. The Statue of Liberty of Germany which you can also walk behind.
with the castles its very different: some are museums, some are used for events or could be booked for an event, some are actual living places for people, some are privat owned and some have a kind of caretaker to keep them in good condition, etc...

Regarding your question: "What are the castles used for?" They most often are museums nowadays, some are hotels or event locations, and there are also still some in which the descendants of the aristocracy live that built them hundreds of years ago.
Come to Us - Come to Germany and saw all this Places. You are Welcome. Greetings from Germany and Thx for that Video about My Homeland.
13:44 Augsburg City Hall and Perlachturm (City Watch Tower)
Funny. The "What is that?" at 10:59 after which you wondered "what their school buildings look like" actually is the main university building at Bonn.
There is a famous TV show for kids called "Schloss Einstein" and the kids go to this boarding school in a beautiful castle 😍 I still love this show so much even as an adult. Maybe you can watch it with english subtitles? It's super cute 🥰
In minute 10:10, you see the cathedral of Aachen, the "Aachener Dom". It´s a pretty small one compared to many other cathedrals especially to the "Kölner Dom (cathedral of Cologne) which is nearby.
But the oldest part of this small cathedral is from the year 800. The "Aachener Dom was the first "unesco world heritage site" in Germany.
13:50 my City Halle (Saale) ❤️
Most of the old buildings and statues have various stories and old tales around them some historical some hearsay from olden times... fun fact you can sometimes buy a castle for 1 € dollar but you inherit the obligation to restore and maintain the castle as well as open it to the public....
The castles are still from historical times, when Germany was divided into several hundreds of small principalities. Each principality, of course, had its prince who lived in such a castle. Many are preserved, some are only ruins and in those that have survived, you can find museums, restaurants or they are even still inhabited. Many castles are located on mountains, so that the enemy could be spotted from afar.
Many cities in germany are very old and kept some of their structure throughout the centuries. Köln or Cologne is like 2000 years old.
the castles are used for various things, some are privately owned and people live in them, some are government buildings, some are tourist attractions, some are museums and so on
My school looks like a tiny castle, it even has small towers
Es ist schön, daß Euch die Bilder von Deutschland gefallen. Mich erstaunt jedoch, daß Ihr es noch nie gesehen habt.
Thanks for your wholesome reaction video! If you don't mind, I'd like to point out to what in my opinion is the most beautiful castle in Germany. If you have some time to spare, look up "Burg Eltz".
It's a hill castle built in the 12th century and located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It looks like straight out of a fantasy movie :)
It's really a joy watching you react to videos! Much love from the Ruhr area, Germany
Love that video since it covers basically every single region of Germany.
I think it's nice that my homeland gives you so much joy. The castles and palaces are used differently here. Many are museums, some people live inside, or house schools or companies. The red roofs are more brownish. The roof tiles are fired from clay and hence the reddish colour. I think it's nice that my homeland gives you so much joy.

Hamburg is absolutley breathtaking. You're reacting to in minute 7:44 to 7:55 the mirrored, sharp scaled building is the new "Elbphilharmonie". And the view over the waterside (with the fountain) towards the city centre is the Binnenalster. The city centre of Hamburg is one of the greatest possibilities to walk, watch and be amazed, in all of Germany. If you're ever in Germany, Hamburg is an absolute must do, so as Munich and Berlin with its clubs and szenes. And off course the small fairytale cities (so as "Rothenburg ob der Tauber") and so on, and so on.
And don't forget the Speicherstadt warehouse complex in Hamburg, UNESCO world heritage and location of the Miniatur Wunderland, world's largest model railway, which also contains world's largest model airport! There are several videos about the MiWuLa on YT, including some made by planespotters at the model airport.
when i look out of my window i see 2 castle ruins and a old Church in a Mountain (Felsenkirche)
We in german difference between castles, burg is mainly used for militäry perpose (middle age) and a schloss is more a living area for wealthy peoples. Some are still private, many are open to the public, some are not accessable because of remote locations and they are to distroyed.
now....after i see this video, i have too say, i life in a beautiful country.
I am so happy to found this channel today :)
Regarding your question as to whether the castles in Germany are inhabited: Unfortunately, many castles have fallen into disrepair and are now just ruins. However, there are many associations that are committed to the preservation of castles and offer guided tours of castles. And a few castles are also (partially) inhabited. There are also castles that are reused for other things, like the castle in Friedberg (Hesse). One part is used as a school, one part is privately inhabited, everyone is allowed to enter the castle garden and the keep (large tower) is open to visitors
You need to take a look at Schloss Neuschwanstein. It's not a very old castle, but it might remind you at something. It's literally a fairytale castle, the fairytale castle, because the Disney Castles we see in all the Disney parks around the world, are based on Schloss Neuschwanstein. And this one for instance is owned now buy the state of Bavaria. They own most of the castles in Bavaria and like Neuschwanstein, are used as museums and tourist attractions. The money earned with it goes into restautations and stuff. It's like that with a lot of castles in Germany. Most estate is property of the local community or land. Some are still owned by heirs of old aristocratic familys, but even then they often open it for the public or rent in to the community.
Thank you indeed for showing me my country where I was born and where I live..... and I have seen some of the spots for the first time .

Hello from Cologne Germany.
I think you could get the names by clicking on the subtitles if I remember correctly
Before Bismarck united Germany it was devided into a lot small states. Each nobel owned some land and had their own law and sometime currency.
To show of their wealth they built castles. Now most of them are museums, some are schools/universities/hotels/... and some are owned by the descendants.
But back to history. If you wanted protection from a noble you had to live on their land, best the city.
You asked why so many houses where near each other. It's because back then the location you were living at was also a symbol of wealth.
In the center were the wealthiest and most respected people. The law usually gave them many advantages.
So you wanted to live in the center and the city needed therefore a lot of houses and flats.
Hope I could answer some questions :) and sorry for my bad English ^^
