Hello, I am german and find it always funny when someone mentions the small bun compared to the big sausage. I say, the bun is only there to hold the sausage.If the sausage was'nt so hot we probably would'nt need the bun at all, lol.
Ja aber das Brötchen gibt schon noch einen guten Geschmack zur Wurst wenn es ein gutes ist natürlich 😁😉
Ich esse Brötchen auch nur als Halter für meinen Aufschnitt.
@@kingozymandias2988 Ich auch,lol.
@@sabrinaclarus6290 ja klar, kleines Brötchen aber dicke Wurst.
@@kingozymandias2988 Ach du liebe Scheisse, ein Hans Wuerstchen!
I got here coz its the time for Xmas Markets. I love this video
Damn, that made me hungry and crave for some delicious christmas market food.
Did not go to one yet, because of.. you know... that C-Thing...meh
All the best from Germany and merry christmas to you!
Good video made by a nice couple, so have a nice time in Germany. Merry Christmas!
I agree with you about the Market by the Cologne Cathedral. We have been there three years ago and to me it had a much too comercial feeling. All too bright, too colorful and, in my opinion, with a much too modern feeling.
The other two were like the ones we visited when I was a Kid in the seventees. Handmade Products and you can watch the crafters. Even some things I thought were non existent todays like a real forge with a coal fire or a Book binder, a shoemaker making old wooden shoes from a log of wood, like the ones you see in an old picture from the Netherlands. If you want you can get them in your own size to wear while gardening.
And the food...😋😋Every year again we try something new.
👍
One thing is certain if you go to the Christmas market and come back hungry, you haven't seen the market.
There are also Christmas decorations, souvenirs, handicrafts, jewelry and other knick-knacks.
Beautiful job guys!! Felt like I was right there with you!!
Thank you! Glad we could bring you along :)
I'm British and I served in the Army for over 16 years in Germany. So I have visited many Christmas markets throughout Germany and also Holland. I have to say that you will never find anything like them in the UK, or elsewhere. Even in small towns you will find stores handing out cups of glue wine to customers to warm them up. The German people really know how to celebrate Christmas, and any other event like Rosenmontage and other local carnivals. Germans are wildly known for their lack of humour, but I never found that to be true. They really get into the spirit of the whatever is going on. I even remember one time we went to the Munich Beer Festival. They had ' disco cars ' to get you in the party mood. You could buy a wrist band to give you full access, which included a engraved glass. The main square had a fountain that dispenced beer rather than the normal water. How cool was that? I'm coming up to my 70th birthday and I miss those good times. In the UK shops have cheap displays. Everyone is pushing and shoving in the stores. If you wish a woman or child happy Christmas in a shop? You get some angry gorilla in your face wanting to know what you meant by it.
English Christmas markets :-) ua-cam.com/video/f6m9tvs3PhU/v-deo.htmlsi=cNjXG0ldb8QqDLa3
Think you forgot the most important tradition. At the 4. of Advent you have to turn back the scales by 5 Kg. 😉🙃🤣😋
The market is called "Heinzels Wintermärchen" / Heinzels' winter tale.
The gnomes are called Heinzelmännchen. They are Cologne house spirits with their own saga.
I saw it coming. In the end she turned smurfish because of all the food.🤢
Merry X-mas 🎅

Wish you all the best for Christmas..... have a good time in Germany!!!! Best regards from Sab Cole an Irish man in Italy!
As you could see and taste, germany is not just Bratwurst and Sauerkraut😉
I've seen a lot in the USA through films or something like that, that Halloween and Christmas a lot of houses are really blatantly decorated, that's just very subtle here. but i like that everything lights up when it's christmas or halloween i like that tradition at your place. now you see big cities and markets a bit decorated but small towns or villages are rather bare unfortunately .
Merry Christmas and happy new year
Knofibrot is short for Knoblauch=garlic brot=bread. :)
If Germany is best in something, it's Christmas Market. 😅 Maybe Cars but not electical.
Wanting to stay within walking distance of the Christmas markets..any suggestions?..thanks 😊
Is the US CDC vaccine card acceptable proof of vaccine?
Do the stalls accept euros in cash? And should I learn a lot of German to get by when buying from the stalls?
They accept cash and cards, but always cash! You don’t need to know much German but you can look up popular Christmas market foods before you go maybe!
What year was that? Dec 2022 or dec 2021?
December 2021 :)
the sum of our experiences as found identity might not be in particular native acuity, reactive fredriech nietzche.
Always when I see american tourists in Germany I could laugh my ass off. You guys have NO IDEA what's going on in Germany. For example: None of the food you tasted is german tradition. The only german tradtion you faced is to have unhealthy food around xmas. ;-)
And: 09:30 "All three" Hey guys, you walked through one of the largest cities in Germany. There are about two dozen xmas markets in Cologne. And no. You can't visit all of them in one night... OMG
Man bist du negativ drauf! Freu dich doch einfach mal, dass andere sich freuen.
@@liamberlin6413 Ich habe keine Freude an der Dummheit von Leuten.
oh du schlaule.
@WiseGuy: "For example: None of the food you tasted is german tradition." 🤔
Do you really think you known enough about German food allowing you to laugh off your a** when you are seeing tourists from the USA?
Just for example: Reibekuchen (or Rievkooche in the regional dialect) with apple sauce is the most popular traditional food in Cologne. You will find them in every traditional Brauhaus in Cologne.
Oh man I’m so jealous!! I was in Germany last year but came home early November so I missed all the Xmas markets, the food in Germany is simply the best, Thankyou for sharing and happy holidays Kia Ora from New Zealand 😃
There are seven markets in Cologne
As Alex mentioned there were many more christmasmarkets here in Cologne.
Heinzels is still open every day till january 9th.
Btw: Mouthwatering video.
The christmasmarket on Alter Markt has always been the best in Cologne. Besides the on in Stadtgarten when it snowed a lot. Than this one is just magically beautiful.
First of all...you two are a delightful couple. There are about 3000 Christmas markets in Germany and each one is different. Some are only open for 1 to 3 days, others for several weeks. However, what has mostly deterred me personally from visiting them are the completely inflated prices.
Very good video, thank you.
It depends on what you are comparing the prices to,I've been coming to the Christmas markets in Germany for 18 years and the cost of most things there far cheaper than here in Ireland!
But this was the traditional HEINZEL -MÄNNCHEN Market, not Christmas! You saw them on your Cup, and one looked at you when you drink.
knofi is coloquial for garlic (knoblauch), so basically it was garlic bread which somehow is a staple at christmas markets but they really had some original versions both for the garlic bread and the potatoe pancakes (i think you called them).
Hi there are eight different markets in Cologne!
Wow Beautiful 🥰❤️
Happy new year ❤️💐
Does Germany even have a food?
Natürlich bin ich ironisch :P
Guys, this is amazing. We haven't been able to get to Cologne for the past two Christmas markets due to the pandemic and your video really brought home how special this place is. Hopefully it will be third time lucky this year and we will get to a place that is so dear to our hearts. We have never tried the stuffed bread but will next time, it looks amazing. Thank you so much for keeping the dream alive.
Love from Hamburg Germany 🇩🇪🙏🏻
there are waaay more than 3 christmas markets in cologne. there is for example a gay christmas market, where they have drag shows, jockstraps and penis shaped candies
That cup was a keeper for sure....
Reibekuchen or Kartoffelpuffer are usually not considered finger food. Normally they are not as stiff as those shown in the video and could fall apart when holding in your hand - plus they are very greasy. I would expect to eat it with some cutlery.
Überraschung! …beide Personen leben immer noch, obwohl sie kein Besteck benutzt haben.
@@liamberlin6413 aber ihre Jacken wurden wahrscheinlich zwischenzeitlich schon entsortgt, weil sie voller Fettflecken waren.
Your voices were drowned by the music. I didn't mind the music selection at all. But you need to tone it down even more behind your voices.
Who is the manufacturer of your hat?
the hat maker, haha!
ALBERTO URSO 🍈
Also, enjoyed your video and your energy!!! Tell the guy that stated you didn't get it all correct to go pound sand. You had a good time and so did I watching y'all.
hahah love that, thank you!!
@@nikkionherway Who is the manufacturer of your hat. I'd like to get one just like yours (she is also a red head) for our future trip to the Christmas markets. Thanks
@@erniel2280 Hi! I'm sorry, I don't know the manufacturer. I purchased it on a whim in Scotland and It does not have a brand name on it
@@nikkionherway Darn, had to buy a different one for my wife...it's ok but not as nice as yours.
