Diesel-engine: Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel (1858-1913)
Rotary-engine: Felix Heinrich Wankel (1902-1988)
Kugelmotor: Herbert Hüttlin (* 1st. September 1943)

Stelzer Motor: Frank Stelzer
@@ElectricEnfield hm, stimmt, von dem hab ich schonmal gehört. Aber ich hätte jetzt nicht sagen können, wie der heißt? 🤔
Den Sternmotor haben jedenfalls nen Ami und n Franzmann zusammengeschustert...
Jet engine: Frank whittle. It is one of the combustion engine types, just not one of the reciprocating ones.
I'm really surprised Haber and Bosch weren't listed for their Ammonia synthesis method. Without them, there'd be no way to create enough fertilizer to feed the world today.
And Justus von Liebig, setting path for synthetic ammoniumphosphate fertilizer and Agrochemistry in general.
And Otto Unverdorben with the first Anilin synthesis and later Friedlieb Ferdinand. This kickstarted the organochemical industry of coloure production. BASF is to this date the biggest chemical company world wide!
Formely they used shit to fertilize... I don't think there is a shortage of shit anywhere...
Maybe they skipped them since Haber also created chemical warfare. Not so good for the world. Sinner or a Saint, who am I to judge. Learned that from Sabaton.
Haber Bosch the great alliance
fed the world by ways of science
sinner or a saint
@@tuijakantola6550 Nah. Did we watch two different videos? Do you have not recognized the low effort in production and research that the original author has put into the video? Usual warning signals are: IMAGE and SPOKEN TEXT do not match up. Partly the visualization was absolutely out of context. Then: what do you expect from a "10 things" video on UA-cam? Scientific quality?
Also, EVERY SINGLE invention mentioned in the video came not into existence in a vacuum. They where only possible because the international community was in busy correspondence and working together. It is a TEAM EFFORT[1]! And not such "national BS" like "the Germans did it!", which such "documentary formats" (I am joking!) suggest.
Greetings from Germany, Tuija!:)
[1] Not only international engineers and chemists were involved in the development of this method, it is also based on the work of Nikodem Caro and Adolph Frank, Birkeland-Eyde and others.
Also: Something like Chlorine(etc.) isn't good or bad .... IT IS JUST THERE. People in contrast, may be good or bad in their actions.
Just a few more that should be in this list: The car, the television, the computer, the jetengine, rockets.
Rockets is not fully true. Liquid driven rockets, yes. Regard 'Werner von Braun', as he is also the father of the first attempts to reach orbit and space
I think you need to a bit more research. Aside from one, none of the rest are inventions credited to Germans.
@@rikmoran3963 Okay but you are wrong: The computer was invented by Konrad Zuse in 1941 and named Z3. The first car ever was made by Carl Benz in 1886 (Benz Patent Motor Car). Werner von Braun invented the rockets that are liquid driven and inspired NASA to copy them. The TV was invented by the german Paul Nipkow In 1884. The first plane with a jet engine was the german Heinkel He 178 (prototype) and than the first production jet plane the also german ME 262. True, the jet engine was in fact invented by a british guy in theory but the first one that worked, was build by Hans von Ohain and thats the only thing that counts, otherwise star shit invented beaming technology -.- And btw: The Teddy Bear is also a german invention, even if the name was given by an american after he bought one in germany ;)
@@rikmoran3963 No, TV 1886 by Paul Nipkow in Berlin, also Germany got the first broadcast.
the Z3 computer was build in 1941 by Konrad Zuse.
And Jets and liquid driven rockets due WWII in Germany .
@@rikmoran3963
Errr - actually they are...
To be more specific:
Carl Benz - Car
Manfred von Ardenne - 1st TV System using CRT, 1st transmission of TV pictures
Konrad Zuse - 1st programmable computer
Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain - 1st operational jet engine
Wernher von Braun was already clarified
Car, calculater, computer, bicycle, motorcycle, light bulb, telephone, dynamo, TV, fission, jet propulsion, aspirin, harmonica, jeans, vinyl record, glider, spark plug, toothpaste,
gummy bear, 35mm camera, teabag, currywurst, scanner, dowel, airbag, c-leg, and more an more.
Don't forget Heroin. Same company as Aspirin.
According to QI, the first computer was the Antikythera Mechanism.
Jet engine (Hans von Ohain, pretty much at the same time as Frank Whittle in the UK), periodic table of elements (Lothar Meyer, same time as Mendeleyv), light bulb (Heinrich Göbel), TV (Paul Nipkow), internal combustion engine (Nicolaus Otto), car (Carl Benz, though some Americans think it was Henry Ford), Haribo Gummi Bears (HAns RIegel from BOnn, that's where the name HARIBO comes from), telephone (Johann Philipp Reis), dynamo and trams (Werner von Siemens), motorcycle (Gottlieb Daimler), programmable electronic computer (Konrad Zuse), Aspirin (Felix Hoffmann), LSD (Albert Hofmann), Wankel engine (rotary engine, Felix Wankel), and many, many others.
Granted, maybe gummi bears did not change the world... (though for me as a kid they did 🙂)
However, grudgingly I have to admit that probably the most influental invention of the past century was made in the US, the transistor. Sure based on quantum mechanics, but it was built in the US at Bell Labs (for those of a certain age, Bell Labs will always be remembered as one of the greatest 'idea factories' of all times).
Technically it was Nicolas Joseph Cugnot who invented the first car in 1769. He combined a kind of carriage with a steam engine. Probably this was the first Automobile which propulsion wasn't based on animal or human power because earlier there was a Belgian guy named Verbiest who could have done this before but it was nothing you could sit on. It will burn in the souls of my fellow Germans but it doesn't matter. I don't understand the way of gaining national pride out of the achievements from single investors or discoverers. People who do this usually have no part in it and it doesn't make them smarter. Mostly invention doesn't came out of nowhere. Often they based on the achievements others and the new point is an improvement who make something more practical or better working. Sometimes it is a new combination of well known but in a different context. It's a kind of evolutionary process. Mostly the inventors are known as weirdos by their neighbors until their become honored for their innovation or a clever business guy makes a load of money out of them. This is double standard. Therefore kudos to all the guys out there who think outside the box and 'boldly go where no man has gone before'.
@@norrinradd2364 You are correct. It always depends a little bit on your definition of an item. Maybe I could rephrase it that the Benz Motorwagen was the first motor car with an ICE.
@@norrinradd2364 I don't agree. It's cuture that breeds many inventions. The individual genious maybe not so much but when a lot of inventions are done in a certain era, there's something right about the culture and you can celebrate that and to a certain degree be part of that. As a supporter when it's in the present or as a fan when it was in the past.
When you celebrate those from the past, some might be just have live a few km's down the road, that's also a message to kids and parents around you. There is a collective angle to it.
@@norrinradd2364
Your comment doesn't make sense on several levels.
Cugnot may have constructed a form of "auto-mobile", but it was nothing that would survive as a product and its utility was quite limited. He didn't invent something that would take hold and be used henceforth.
And especially with the car, it's silly to suggest there was a notion of a "single inventor", given that Benz and Daimler constructed cars with combustion engines within weeks of each other. The difference being that their technology was practical and with some refinement allowed both to set up car manufacturing companies which sold cars to the end user.
"telephone (Johann Philip Reis)"... WHAT ?!?
His first prototype was built in 1860, Antonio Meucci's one dates back to when ?At least 9 years before ! Then Graham Bell stole all their work...
The first bicycle was invented by Baron Karl von Drais in Germany 1817. Also a great invention for not always walking.🙂
Thanks for the info, in French, the very early bicycle (two wheels, no pedals) is called a draisine from the name of the inventor!
@@michelbeauloye4269 Interesting
the french invented the first bike in 1790. baron karl von drais tuck the design off the french and updated it the bike we know today and put his disign to paper in 1818.
Kirkpatrick Macmillan invented the treadle bicycle in 1839
Fun-Fact: In Germany we call x-rays "Röntgen-Strahlen"
No Englishman can pronounce that. Ö and TG !
@@jensschroder8214 The TG can't be a problem. It's the same like the TG in NetGear.
Swedish. Röntgenstråle (n) (ar)
Yes and I think it's because English-speakers have a hard time with Umlauts. Or they did not want to attribute it to a German.
"Röngten Rays" haha
Morphine was also developed in Germany, and nowadays it is impossible to imagine pain therapy without it.
...1804/05 by F.W. Sertürner ;)
Also Heroine invented by the Bayer company in 1900!
Also german invention:
1st programmable computer = "Z1" in 1938
was looking for that comment! Dr Zuse was just simply a genius!
Another German invention that led to the development of the modern PC: the Enigma machine.
Yes, but the z3 was the first working one. And it was later proven, that it even was Touring complete.
@@mijp you are confusing several things.
@@lorenzsabbaer7725 you think so? well, then name it.
Gutenberg's printing press was considered the most influential invention of the entire last millennium.
I would actually vote the Bosch-Haber process (also German) to produce ammonia. This lead to a huge increase in the availability of fertilizers to grow food, accelerating the growth of the world population by a lot. Without it, we might be only 2 billion instead of 8 billion on earth by now. So very influential.
@@vast634 The wordpress made it possible. To share and store knowledge with everyone who can read had a huge impact.
@@vast634 without the gutenberg press knowledge wouldn not have spread so fast and progress would not have happened so quickly and that is a very huge influence on all inventions coming after that.
Don't forget the sugar cubes! The wife of a German sugar manufacturer complained that the usual sugar cones were too big for use in the coffee cup. Her husband could invent something practical, she said, for example sugar cubes so small that they fit in the cup. Just one or two for each cup.
Then you should also mention the Melitta coffee filter
I though it was usually considered Czech invention. Rad was originally born in Switzerland, but his factory was in West Moravia.
@@heindaddel2531 The coffee filter is actually mentioned in the video... 😆
Sugar cubes are almost unknown in USA.
@@maxbarko8717 and? they exist in the UK. i could buy a pack of them but i dont see the point when 1kg packs of sugar are much cheaper (less than £1 per kg compared to nearly £3 per kg in cube form) i feel they're more of a resteraunt thing but even then, most just use sugar sachets.
" the 35mm camera" was invented in Germany by Oskar Barnack in 1925 and the company he owned is known under "Leica"
Pretty random pictures in the video. And the Bunsen burner as a invention that changed the world? I would say that something like the fridge bei Carl Linde is a bit more important.
There is other Stuff like the first Electrical Elevator build in 1880 by Siemens, Gyro compass (patented in 1904 by Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe), Fax machine invented in 1956 by Rudolf Hell... there is so much more that you can make Books from it ^^
Especially after the War, mostly America stole so many Patents and other Stuff in 1945 and even afterwards that its unbelievable. American Sources speak from at least 750.000 stolen Patents from the Patent office in Berlin and other Offices and at least another 250.000 Patents who waited to be accepted into the Patent Register. A lot of those are still classified as Top Secret from the various Countrys around the World that they still extend the Top Secret Classification for it.
The Reason i mention this is that in the Time from 1871 until 1945 Germany was the Nation that brought about the most new Innovations. There was also the first Computer in the World, build by Conrad Zuse in 1941, Night Vision Systems build in the End 1930s, first regular Television Canal created in 1935, first Helicopter who could actually fly, build by Henrich Focke in 1937 and much more.
Stole? They liberated the patents.
@@DenUitvreter I liberated ur mom....
who cares about the past. Nowadays germany really sucks in new inventions. The only invention of the last decade was the first covid vaccine.
Even that is just boggus since its totally unsafe ^^
@@chrisr25071 Unfortunately you have no idea, Status 2021 Germany has the most patent registrations in Europe. If you adjust a few things, such as submit patents in other countries. Germany ranks third in terms of patents per person just behind Japan and South Korea. So u suck....
Every time I see a reaction to this video, I really wonder why the first computer isn’t part of the list
Because Zuse didn't invent the computer. He took a decisive step in improving the computer, but the computer is an invention of many earlier developers, such as Alan Turing and John von Neumann. Zuse applied for the patent several times, but never received it because he contributed decisive improvements but didn't invent anything new.
@@norrinradd2364 see like if you wanna argue like that, then why do you bring up Turing and not Charles Babbage?
Sorry I wasn’t clarifying that I mean the First programmable computer… but I see the reasoning now why it could be controversial to include that in the list, because the computer sience as well as a glorified true or false printing machine already existed
To talk lowly about Zuse is your failure to make, but you were right in arguing with my statement… it just truly isn’t that easy
@@nightcorelore5648 It wasn't me who said Zuse isn't the inventor of the computer, it was the the Federal Patent Office in Germany, the 'Bundespatentamt'. I didn't talk low about him. You find another inventor on way of computer development by yourself and it won't be the last one, so what's your point? Is Germany so poor on groundbreaking inventions and big brains that you have to make bad points with Zuse. Why it is so important to you that Zuse is the one and only who invented the computer, when everybody with expert knowledge is laughing about this idea?
@@norrinradd2364 no no you didn’t read I clearly clarified this time that I mean programmable computer… as an direct answer to your question it isn’t important to me, just engraved in my memory by visiting the computer museum as child, that he produced… what like 7 iterations of computers, upgrading it gradually and making it possible that we nowadays have the computers we know
Don’t get me wrong a nice calculator would be enough for me too, without Zuse I wouldn’t have to argue about stupid details on a phone with a person like you
First computer: the Antikythera Mechanism. Computers were originally people who calculated by hand before the mechanical computer hit the scene.
Well now I know why we in Sweden call x-ray for röntgen, it was the inventers name 👍
Jup, our languages are very similar! In Germany x-rays are correctly called 'Röntgen-Strahlen'. 'Strahlen' means rays, so rontgen rays. Where did that weird 'X' come from?
@@kleinshui9082 That "weird" X came from Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen himself .... as a physicist, that he was, he discovered "a new kind of radiation" (that was the title of a paper he wrote) and of cause, when a physicist discovers something he didn't know he calls it "X" (like in math). So in his article he wrote about "X-Strahlen" (or "X-Rays" in english).
@@kleinshui9082 Listen to how the guy in the video butchered the name Röntgen (like pretty much every name on the list). Maybe that’s another reason apart from the one in the last comment ;)
We call it rontgen in the Netherlands too..
my mate is a Headmaster of a High End High School, their Year 11/12 Student, 16,18 and 18year olds...
Do a 1 Exchange student program, they swap schools...
And his first comment, that his teachers, and students say about the Americans Student?
How they are taught, America Invented Everything, and Ignorant about the rest of the World..
They wouldn't get 15% in a History off the world test...
But he said, the worst is? Their, Brain Blocking Ego... don't believe attitude...
Switzerland: Turbo
Alfred Büchi invented the Turbo in 1905. :D
The Jeans was invented by a guy called Levi Strauss... His German name was Löb Strauss who was born near Nuremberg, who invented jeans. Known today as: Levi's Jeans. 😉
And his "invention" was based on a much older type of pants, made of Linen, meaning, it was made of HEMP.
Carl Benz invented the first practical modern automobile and first car put into series production, for which he got a patent in 1886. His wife Bertha took in August 1888 his Model No. 3, a motor tricycle, out for the first long-distance overland ride of an automobile (from Mannheim to Pforzheim, about 104 km). He got then in a patent dispute with Gottlieb Daimler, who together with Wilhelm Maybach had developed the first high-speed four-stroke Otto engine which could be throttled (at Deutz AG in Cologne, which he left in 1882 receiving 112,000 Gold marks as compensation for patents). 1883 he patented a new single cylinder 4-stroke engine developed by him and Maybach fueled by ligroin, an early form of gasoline using a hot-tube ignitor. Since Benz used for his gasoline motor a similar ignitor, Daimler sued him for patent infringement. But Daimler and Benz never met personally. 1885 Daimler and Maybach invented the "Reitwagen" (ride car), the first motorbike with an Otto motor. Daimler then ordered Maybach to construct a motor car (to sell more of his motors). The "Motor Quadricycle" was presented in 1889 at the Paris Exposition.
Otto Lilienthal invented and piloted the first glider planes. One of his gliders was put in series production in 1894. He died in 1896 during a trial flight. (There were other pioneers at the time, but Lilienthal was the first to make systematic measures and experiments published in scientific and engineering publications. The brothers Wright used his findings for their own constructions.)
Dont forget the moon rocket
Konrad Zuse - the computer
Ferdinand Braun - cathode ray tube - TV

My brother knew back then the guys who made the MP3 format. He gave me once a music file that was only 4 MB big. It was one of the first 4 files ever compressed as MP3 - At leas a copy of them. I was not aware of how big this would become. - FYI - My brother is the cool guy. I am the one who missed the genius genes.

@@nachtaktiv1 I can't believe that Guybrush Threepwood commented on me. Your adventures were awesome. I guess I am famous now.
@@nachtaktiv1 Bullshit, since I had all kinds of content long before I knew what JC was all about.
That's a weird list. Half of the really big, world changing inventions aren't even on that list. How about the car, programmable computer, jet engine, tv, bicycle, pain reliever (Aspirin), just to name a few.
certainly a strange list, but your examples are ill-chosen
Car ... not first, just a noteable improvment which kicked it off and overshadowed earlier inventions
programmable computer ...A German was only first in "digital", mechanical and analog programmable computer came earlier from elsewhere
jet engine ... not first, just a noteable improvment on multiple existing patents/inventions which kicked it off and overshadowed earlier jet engines
pain reliever Aspirin aka acetylsalicylic acid ... technicly not even an invention, but a discovery as its a natural substance which already was in use as medicine for ages ... also the first described synthetic way to produce it date back to 1853 and were from a french guy Charles Frederic Gerhardt ... that was followed by decades of research from multiple chemists, with Bayer only picking it up eventually with their production methods and marketing it under the productname Aspirin
As strange as the videos list may be, those examples hold up far better when it comes to being a German invention.
@@diedampfbrasse98 some of what you say is like saying "That one guy didn´t invent the wheel, there were people who made round rocks before him..."
@@RSProduxx the same thing by attributing the invention of the first car to benz while he invented the vehicle with a gasoline engine while cugnot invented the first automobile with a steam engine in 1770, delamare-bouteville in 1894 (1 year before Benz's tricycle) filed a patent for an automobile four-wheels powered by a gas engine.
Don’t forgot the Christmas tree 🎄
It’s also an German invention not so world changing but at lest popular in the Christmas time 😅
They also invented Jeans, Wire ropes, the CRT, Sticky tape, Asprin, Rifles barrels on guns, Anti Tank and Cruise missile, Naval Echo Sounder, Geiger Counter, Gyro Compass, the Microphone, The Bandaid, Tooth paste, Contact lens and Fanta.
Germany invented nearly everything ☺️
want some examples?
how about the car, the motorcycle, the bicycle, the helicopter, jeans, contact lenses, nuclear fission, the record player, the tape recorder, the first reliable refrigerator, the paper scanner, the small format camera, the telephone, the TV, the thermos flask, toothpaste, the airbag, c-legs, the computer, aspirin, heroin, cocain and the christmas tree for example 😄
Jeans, not quite. At least it wasn't invented in Germany but certainly by a German immigrant. His name Levi founded the Levi Strauss company in the US.
a german also built the first computer:)
They did not invent the plastic 😁
I thought Charles baggage built the first computer
@@samsalt4444 i think u mean Charles Babbage. but as his "Analytical Engine" was never built it's more fair to call the Zuse Z1 as the first computer imo, incl. binary system aso.
125 years ago, an earth-shattering technical idea became reality in Cologne. In 1876, Nicolaus August Otto created the world's first viable four-stroke engine. (Germany)
Yes but the principle of the four-stroke combustion engine was invented by Beau de Rochas (cf Beau de Rochas cycle) in 1862, then developed by Nikolaus Otto in 1867, then perfected by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach in 1886, followed by the hot-bulb engine in 1891 and then the Diesel engine in 1893... What is the real deal ? Imagining a four-stroke combustion engine or building one.. we may disagree on that.
Fun fact: In germany, the "X-Rays" are called "Röntgenstrahlen", which would translate to "Röntgen rays", after the the physicist discovering them (as mentioned in the video).
Konrad Zuse invented the first fully PROGRAMMABLE computer.
What grinds my gears is when countries decide it's Dizel, Deecel or something like that. It's a name, you don't change that ever!
That's like advertising Voort instead of Ford or calling the fruit company how you say apple in your language. It doesn't work that way...
Like, when someone says Porsh instead of Porsche? Yeah that f**ks me up as well…
Äppel Kompjuter :D
@@Prof.Dr.Diagnose yeah but we all know it's 90% of the time coming from native English speakers. So nothing new 😂
@@azeQify it's called the vowel shift, which fucks up any attempt of an english speaker to pronounce foreign words correctly.
When the electron microscope is mentioned in the video they only showed the real ones at the beginning. Everything after that are all optical light microscopes. More precise: All small table top microscopes where transmitted light microscopes.
A normal scanning electron microscope needs a vacuum chamber and high voltage. So they are definetly bigger than the small table top ones shown in the picture. They cost hundred thousands of euros / dollars.
Automobile, bike, aspirin, contact lenses, helicopter, thermos, electric drill and of course...the gummy bears
Germany also invented the computer mouse. For real.
"Input devices with three buttons and a ball below"
The letter went to the patent office, which rejected it: Not innovative and not a viable application.
The device disappeared into the basement of the university.
Later, the computer mouse was reinvented and patented by Americans.
If a German makes an invention today, he either goes abroad or has as much patience as a cow.
Not quite right. The mouse was used with the Telefunken system. That system even had a graphical user interface. it is not quit proven, who really had the idea first, but 1968 Telefunken sold the first commercial working product. A short time before Engelhard presented his prototype....
I remember these times when you had to clean the mouse ball ^^
@UnknownDev Germany made about 90% of modern technology. One of the most important ones in my opinion is arsphenamine (precursor of penicillin).
there are more important inventions, like the first glider plane, 4 stroke engine, cars, bicicles,dynamo, motor bike, electric locomotive, glow bulb, chemical fertilizer, computer, telephone no it wasnt bell he was the first who patented it, rockets, jet planes, a lot of chemical and medical stuff and so on without german invention we would live in the stone age and we wouldnt be able to feed so much people on this planet.
Many Americans think that the automobile was invented by Henry Ford but he came forty years later after Karl Benz from Germany invented the engine and the car and let his wife drive through Germany with a prototype
In my opinion there are a few weird decisions for the list, because there are also WAY more iconic Inventions, like:
*1. The Car (Karl Benz)*
*2. The Computer (Konrad Zuse)*
*3. Nuclear fission (Otto Hahn)*
*4. Relativity Theory (Albert Einstein)*
*5. Dynamo (Werner vom Siemens)*
*6. Fridge (Carl von Linde)*
*7. Light bulb (Heinrich Göbel)*
*...*
carl benz did not invent the automobile, he was the first to put a gasoline engine on an automobile. in 1770, the french Cugnot with his steam "fardier" is the inventor of the automobile
3 Fissione nucleare, Enrico Fermi, Italia; 5 Dinamo, Antonio Pacinotti, Italia
He didn't mention the regular car engine. The Otto-motor.
Otto was not the inventor of this system, it was Beau de Rochas.
Not only the old printing press shown here, but also offset printing, with negatives etched into zinc plates, was invented by Alois Senefelder around 1800.
2:09 75% is the thermal efficiency not to be confused with mechanical efficiency.
As some have noted, Konrad Zuse build the first WORKING electronic computer, but his real contribution was this: Plankalkül, the first high-level programming language. It heavily influenced Cobol, Algol and Fortran, although the respective working groups never credited Zuse for this.
Thank you for sharing your video. Wikipedia will let u know about missings on the "List of German inventions and discoveries".
Nearly all about transportion: Draisine, bycicle, motorbike, automobile, glider, helicopter, space rocket 🤯🤯🤯
I love this type of videos!
Since I'm Swiss, here are some fun/notable Swiss inventions (not discoveries):
- Aluminium Foil
- Celophane
- Velcro
- Absinthe
- Swiss Army Knives (duh haha)
- Full Metal Jacket bullet
- Bobsleigh
- The Red Cross
There's many more of course but I though these were nice ones to pick. :)
Toblerone! 🤗😋
The white cross as well🥴
When did starting an organisation (Red Cross) became an "invention"....????
„Swiss knife” its a Ancient Roman invention.
Sincerely thank you for Absinthe!
Gutenberg did not invent the printing press, but he significally improved it by adding interchangeable letters
Interchangeable METAL letters, which allowed for mass production of letters. Previous technologies used carved wooden letters, which necessitated each letter being made individually and thus never being quite identical either. Using lead casting allowed to make ever more letters from the same mold (within limits, of course, molds don't last forever), which made it massively easier not to just print individual pages but whole books.
@@ohauss absolutely right. I just wanted to give a short answer. But the part with the lead letters really is the thing that made the difference
@@ohauss Not quite, Korea had Cast metal movable type printing by 1234 ad, and Bronze metal movable type was already in use by the Song dynasty such as with some bank notes dated to 1215.
Gutenberg is still important as he kicked off printing in the west which allowed western economies to expand rapidly via paper currency and expand bureaucratic institutions. I doubt Europe could’ve ever reached the heights it did as early as it did without Gutenberg, possibly delaying its rise by decades or centuries.
Anoðer bit of information ðat I Þink goes well enouȝ wiÞ ðis one is ðat it's ultimately Gutenberg's fault that English uses ðe letter combinations th and gh. Before Gutenberg, ðese sounds were written ð/Þ (eth/thorn) and ȝ (yogh), as ðey still are in Icelandic. But ðen England imported large numbers of printing presses from Germany, which didn't have ðese letters because German didn't have ðem, so ðey had to be substituted. (For some reason an alternative way to substitute ð was with y, resulting in weird spelling as in "Ye Old Shoppe", which you can still see today. Although at some point the pronunciation in this context was changed to match the spelling.)
@@johaquila I thought it was "Þ" that got replaced with a "Y".

I would add the refrigeration technology (of course for beer brewing): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_von_Linde
That is also used for AC.
The mathematican Leibnitz first theorized and used a binary calculus system in the 17th century, which is the foundation of modern computer technology. And the first programmable computer that used the binary system was build by Konrad Zuse in the 1930s and 40s.
Some not mentioned things (inventions and discoveries): The car, nuclear fission, calculus, many basics of quantum mechanics, electro-magnetic radiation, continental drift, the theory of microorganisms, many basics of astronomy, some basics of heredity, pianos with metal frames, uncountable elements of mechanics.
Keep in mind that because of the history of Germany, those include things done by ethnically non-germans who were german citizens because of german imperialism (before the obvious) (dutch, belgian, czech, slowak, polish, lithuanian, hungarian, italian and so on) and things done by members of the german culture group that would have other nationalities today (austrian, swiss)
Greetings from a german x-ray technologist from Hamburg, Germany
Thanks for that video.
I'm missing the first Computer "Z3" from 1941 from Konrad Zuse.
Yes, they are much, much more. Just search for something for modern entertainment: printing press and followed by them the first magazine, radio, tape recorder, record player, television, antenna, walkman, remote control, computer, mp3 format, chip card ... Imagine the world without this 🤯🤯🤯
Jet propulsion: The jet propulsion was developed in the 1930s by Hans v. Ohain in Germany. The first flight with the Messerschmidt ME 262 jet aircraft took place in Germany in 1941.
Vertical take-off: The idea of vertical take-off was developed as early as the 1920s by German engineers such as Henrich Focke and Nicolaus Otto.
Stealth technology: Stealth technology, which reduces the visibility of aircraft and other vehicles, was developed by German scientists and engineers in the 1940s and was used during World War II. Northrop's B2 bomber is based on 1933 plans by the German flying wing aircraft Horten H.I. Von den Horten Brüder.
In Germany, companies like Telefunken and AEG played an important role in the development of television technology. The first TV with a picture tube was invented in 1897 by the German physicist Ferdinand Braun, which formed the basis of all TV sets after World War II.
Autobahns as we know them today were developed by the German engineer Fritz Todt around 1930.
Steam engine (invented by James Watt in England around 1765, but further developed in Germany)
Bunsen burner (invented by Robert Wilhelm Bunsen and Peter Desaga in 1855)
Sewing machine (improved by Karl Friedrich Gegauf around 1850)
Electric motor (developed around 1860 by Werner von Siemens and Johann Georg Halske)
Dynamo machine (invented by Werner von Siemens in 1866)
Incandescent lamp (invented by Thomas Alva Edison in the USA in 1879, but also further developed in Germany by Heinrich Göbel and Friedrich von Hefner-Alteneck)
Telephone (invented by Alexander Graham Bell in the USA in 1877, but further developed by Philipp Reis in Germany)
Aspirin (invented by Felix Hoffmann at Bayer in 1897)
Diesel engine (invented by Rudolf Diesel in 1892)
Car (invented by Karl Benz in 1885)
X-rays (discovered by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen in 1895)
Magnetophon (invented by Fritz Pfleumer around 1935)
MP3 format (developed by the Fraunhofer Institute in 1995)
Aircraft construction: Otto Lilienthal was a German engineer and aviation pioneer and undertook the first flight in 1890. In Germany, the technology was further developed, e.g. by Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin (zeppelins), Hugo Junkers (metal fuselage construction) and Willy Messerschmitt (aircraft such as the Messerschmitt Bf 109).
Rocket construction: Germany was a leader in rocket construction during World War II, particularly through Wernher von Braun and the team at the Peenemünde Rocket Development Center. After the war, von Braun worked in the United States and helped develop the Saturn V rocket that enabled the Apollo missions to the moon.
Computer: The first programmable computer, the Z3, was developed in 1941 by Konrad Zuse in Germany. The first electronic calculators (ENIAC) were also developed in the USA, but by German engineers such as John von Neumann and Herman Goldstine.
Internet Protocol: The Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which forms the basis of the Internet, was developed in the United States, but the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) was originally developed by Vint Cerf and Robert E. Kahn, both of whom studied at German universities.
So far I know Konrad Zuse has build the first funktional Digital Counting Machine -->> Computer in May 1941 the Z3.
Wernher von Braun the Rocket Pioneer lead your NASA to fly to the moon has build the first funktional Rockets.
Carl Linde was the builder of the first modern refrigeration machine 1873.
Fun fact: Johannes Gutenberg‘s printing press was, according to the Time-Life magazine, the most important invention of the whole second millennium, since every possible way to provide knowledge or inform the people basically forever, was written, until just the radio and then tv and internet came along.
He brought it to the masses and without him, humanity wouldn’t be where we are today.
And no: I don’t debate whether it was Gutenberg or Bi Shang, because that’s not the point of this comment ;)
Space rockets: the first suborbital rocket was the V2 missile, the first rocket to fly outside atmosphere. It is the mother of all space rockets, including the giant Saturn V of the Apollo program.
In ventor: Wehrner von Braun, space engineer.
Without Gutenberg's printing press, the reformer Martin Luther found it difficult to spread his German translation of the Bible. This not only led to the founding of the Evangelical Church (Protestants), but also laid the foundation for a uniform High German language.
Protestants were called these because they protested against the grievances.
Later the printing press was also brought to England. Hence the expression upper case and lower case. Unfortunately, the printers incorrectly changed the spelling of the English language to somewhat resemble Dutch.
not as spectacular as many of the mentioned but something impacting daily live and population growth a lot:
Justus von Liebig, a german chemist. He made many inventions in agricultural chemistry.
mineral fertilizer, meat extract (reducing meat to shelf stable powder like in soup cubes) chloroform and more.
With chemistry, some are not inventions but the discovery of its uses.
Personally I would have definitely added the car. Might be more world changing than the coffee filter tbh lol. Other than that maybe the modern computer.
Something else to add about Gutenberg's printing press is that generally it's said that his invention started, or at least drastically sped up the Age of Enlightenment in Europe by the end of the 17th century by making books something mass-produceable and by extension something that the general public could afford instead of just aristocrats and nobility.
I think most americans are convinced that ford invented the car. Or at least what they get thaught in school.
@@chrisr25071 That idiot only changed the way cars are being manufactured but he did not invent any cars Karl Benz was the one who invented the car. Skrew those americans who believe it was ford and those who teach it.
I am actually suprised that the didn't mention the car it was literally the best invention that there is.
@@IFHD350 it's actually very debatable, who invented THE CAR at all !!! First self-motoring car was from France, by Cugnot in 1770 with a steam engine. Carl Benz only invented the first car with a combustion engine.
I think the printing press had it's main relevance much earlier, in the rise of literacy and protestantism. The enligthenment was in need of the freedom of print that was the product of those two.
@@Kilian600 First internal, Cugnot used an external combustion engine, steam.
Automobile,Carl Benz 1886. Motorcycle,Gottlieb Daimler+Wilhelm Maybach 1885. Mechanical calculator,Wilhelm Schickard, 1623. Computer, Konrad Zuse,1941. TV,Paul Nibkow,1886(patented). The list is too long to fit into the commentary section.
The first one is the trailer for the second video. And maybe one to cut in two reation videos! 👌🏼✌🏼

Johannes Gutenberg's invention, in spite of its (even for the 1400s) ridiculously simple conception, was revolutionary.
"[...] a team of US journalists voted Gutenberg as the 'man of the millennium' in 1999. Similarly, in 1999 the A&E Network ranked Gutenberg the No. 1 most influential person of the second millennium on their 'Biographies of the Millennium' countdown, while Time-Life magazine picked Gutenberg's invention as the most important of the second millennium in 1997."
(source: Wikipedia).
Instead of writing one single book by hand within months or even years (please note: a person who owned twenty books or even more had been considered to be really wealthy by that time), you could produce books in unlimited numbers in a short length of time and at an affordable price (still expensive measured against today's standard) now and flyers (as the ancestors of newspapers) became the first real mass medium in history.
Gutenberg was the first man to make knowledge and information (and of course misinformation as well 😁) generally accessible.
Id recommend you to watch the Video of "Not Just Bikes" about stroads
Carl Friedrich Benz invented the car.
Missing the maybe 4 most important ones: 1. the car by Mercedes Benz; 2. the computer believe it or else by Zuse in the late 1930s already. This was called Zuse 3. 3. the TV; 4. the elevator.
The only odd thing about the video was the city of Mainz (215k pop) being called a town ^^
There is an error in the video. The MP3 format wasn't invented by Fraunhofer, but buy guys working at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits.
The biggest most important invention is not even on the list although it is arguably the biggest invention ever: the Haber-Bosch-Process. In this process Nitrogen is captured into ammonia which then is used to produce artificial fertilizer. As of 2018, the Haber process produces 230 million tonnes of anhydrous ammonia per year. Nearly 50% of the nitrogen found in human tissues originated from the Haber-Bosch process. Thus, the Haber process serves as the "detonator of the population explosion", enabling the global population to increase from 1.6 billion in 1900 to 7.7 billion by November 2018.
This invention had an impact which could only be compared to the invention of the wheel or the discovery of fire.
Albrecht Berblinger almost invented planes. in 1811 he had an failed attempt and was ridiculed for it. he stopped working on his idea. in the 1990s it was proven his design worked, he just had bad luck
Don’t forget Penicillin which got discovered by accident. It was Alexander Fleming in 1928.
he was british!
I think you should do one of these for Finland as well, we've invented alot of things here that I would say pretty much everyone in modern society use every day, but 90% have no clue where it originated. For example, the very first Internet browser with a graphical interface was a finnish invention
Here's a good video listing some
ua-cam.com/video/upKS3uwS25Q/v-deo.html
And WHO made it possible to come up with that browser?
And WHAT was is based on e.g. where had the idea been stolen from?
An "invention" like that is nothing, cause without the premisses, it could not have been done at all.
It's like with all the so called "invention" of Steve Jobs and apple - most of them were STOLEN or are based on other peoples work.
Didnt you guys invent the electronic heart beat sensor things that are used by every smart watch today?
and in the year 2003 I still used my Walkman, because the diskmans still used up too much batteries
;-)
Wankel engine (German Felix Wankel), Otto engine/Gasoline engine (German Nicolaus Otto)
European here, my brilliant German neighbors are a bit like the South Koreans of Europe: the courageous, smart and industrious workers. All Europeans know that if you want a good car/motorcycle/household appliance, you take the German equipment.
and there are forces nowadays inside this country who want to destroy all that (the green party).
1. Konrad Zuse (Z3) Created The First Digital Computer, 2. Carl Benz/Gottlieb Daimler Invented The Car, 3. Manfred Von Ardenne Showed The World The First TV 1931 On Media Exhibition In Berlin, 4. Gottlieb Daimler Made The First Motorbike, 5. Paul Nipkow Created The First TV Channel For Olympic Games (1936), 6. Rudolf Hell Made The First Digital Scanner, 7. Karl Von Drais Invented The Bicycle, 8. Wernher Von Braun Constructed The First Long Range Rocket (That Fly Into Space), 9. Albert Ballin Invented The Cruise With A Ship For Many Passengers, 10. Philipp Reis Was Using The First Sentence In Or For A Dialogue On Telephone: "Das Pferd frisst keinen Gurkensalat", 11. Carl Von Linde Invented The Refrigerator, 12. Oskar Barnack Constructed The 35 mm Camera, 12. Ralph Baer Developed The First Game Console, 13. Werner von Siemens Constructed The First Electric Tram Ban, 14. Otto Von Bismarck Created The Social Legislation, 15. Felix Hoffmann Developed "Aspirin" Etc.
plastic expanding wall plug - Artur Fischer
Apollo Saturn V - Wernher von Braun :-)
The predecessor of the bicycle the Draisine was invented in Germany. There are some manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci showing something similar but was never constructed in great scale to our knowledge today so it was a cheap way for poor people to get from a to b without horses or bulls to pull a wagon.
All the World calls him Johannes Gutenberg as much as Leonardo da Vinci, but both are kinda wrong.
Gutenberg is the place Johannes Gensfleisch came from and his name is actually Johannes Gensfleisch zum Gutenberg. Zum means from or by/of in this case.
Same goes for Lionardo di ser Piero da Vinci, Lionardo, son of Mr. Piero from Vinci.
You're welcome. ;-)
The school books never mentioned this smh my head
@@ddm_gamer Wikipedia and books might do the trick. I learned something at school, but most later.
Do it like Einstein. Keep your child-like curiousity alive. ^^
How the car wasn't mentioned? How he talks about a stupid coffee filter and not the car that literally changed everything? Lmao
First single flight- Otto Liliental
First Car - Carl Benz
Dynamo - Siemens
Haribo - Hans Riegel
Telefon - Johann Reis
Reinheitsgebot (Bier)
Fission - Otto Hahn
"the Dynamo" was invented in Germany by Werner von Siemens in 1866
And in 1879 he also invented the tram 🚋
I'm wondering why Conrad Zuses invention of the first computer isn't mentioned on top one on the list.
The bicycle, the watch, the computer, the TV, the Hamburger,...
Another very important invention for Americans made by Germans: the world´s first Assault Rifle, the StG44 aka Mp44
In military technology we are still the best:
Heckler&Koch Rifles and Handguns (Mp5, Mp7, G3, G36, G28, HK416/M27, USP, MK23 and so on)
Kraus-Maffei-Wegmann LEOPARD-2 A7 MAIN BATTLE TANK
Rheinmetall KF51 PANTHER MAIN BATTLE TANK
Rheinmetall IFV PUMA
Kraus-Maffei-Wegmann Multi-Role Combat Vehicle BOXER
Rheinmetall Paratrooper and Recon mini-tank WIESEL
There is even a rumor that a german electronics company managed to construct a radar system that is able to pick up stealth (B-2/F-35/F-22).
Also the small compact Hunter U-Boats Type 205.
And of course: *Rocket Technology* , which leads to American Soldiers bringing Wernher von Braun, Nazi-Germany´s leading rocket engineer, to the US where he had a VERY huge influence to build the biggest and most powerful machine ever created by mankind - the SATURN V space rocket.
that is nothing to be proud off!
Why wasn't mentioned the car or the programmable computer? much more important than coffee filters or bunsen burners.
Also space rockets or elevators or TV or... or...
Konrad Zuse was missing as the one who invented the first computer, but the list was good. 😄
I really was expecting to see the car in this list, which was developed by Carl Benz in 1886 as "Benz Patent Motor Car". Maybe I was expecting this because I'm such a car enthusiast. But there are so many inventions from germany that are important for our modern life, the list would be endless.
first common rail engine for cars (MN 106) was developed in Nordhausen (East) Germany
Dont forget the first programable computer from Konrad Zuse or the first real rocket engine. its amazing how my people have changed the world. but we still dont know if it was for the better.
Many things were invented in Germany, some things are controversial, e.g. airplanes and light bulbs. However, many things did not only bring friends to Germany, e.g. Dynamite was invented by the Swede Alfred Nobel in northern Germany near Hamburg. Alfred Nobel developed dynamite in his Krümmel explosives factory near Geesthacht . But somehow we are all citizens of the world, and the decisive factor is that everyone can use these inventions regardless of nationality, gender or skin color.
I know that this is an old video, but man, the most important things are missing:
Konrad Zuse and the first computer Zuse Z1 (and successors Z2 and Z3). And of course the automobile itself 😀.
But for our american friends I have some other ones:
The stealth bomber B2 was a subsequent development from a German "secret weapon" of WW II, the Horten H IX which was a Jet powered Plywood Plane, of which the Americans captured the prototype. By the way, the first jet powered aircraft was invented in 1939 by Heinkel (HE 178).
Also the atomic bomb that lead to the end of the war was developed by Wernher von Braun who was reprieved by the Americans and became the leading engineer of their atomic AND rocket programs (he was also involved in the moon landing program of NASA).
So to say america WAS great in adopting and evolving German inventions.
He forgot the car.........Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz............the car is a German Invention.....🤣🤣
The peaceful use of the rocket for space travel would also not have been possible if Werner von Braun had not existed. He did not invent the rocket (the first recorded rocket launch took place in 1232 in the Chinese Empire), but he did develop rockets that were powerful enough to leave the earth's atmosphere. Although he first worked on the military use of the rocket (Aggregat 4 (A4), also known as V2), later in the USA it was mainly about space technology.
not really Karsten, if you read biographies about von Braun, you will learn that all his life, from childhood on,
his interest had always been space. Of course the army used him before and during the war. He followed them,
not because he was one of them, but his ambition to reach his dream, made him join them.
After the war, WvB followed the americans by his own free will, while they took many of the Peenemünde scientists as POW by force, separating them from their families for years and of course forcing them to work for them.
Do dutch inventions next, you'll be surprised😁
Gauda😅
