They say "I want to live in a castle" "I want to buy a castle" when they see a castle. The GErmans when they see a castle: "I dont want to clean all these windows" "I dont want to pay that electrical bill"
Bullshit. I am a german and nobody behaves like that. Stop talking shit propaganda. A friend of mine since 6 grad buyed a little one what you would call a castle. First there are strict rules due to the "monument protection office" (if google transalte it right), then you dont buy something that wortfully with such an amount of rules and duties and do NOTHING. The pure thruth you are financially able to build one is the absolute counterpart to your bullshit anti-german propaganda. Nevertheless - if you mess the castle up - the government will fuck you up. With fines at first, than with duties like "you have to do this and that cause the roof is like blablabla" and in the end - they can kick you out. Because its not just a structure you can buy but a historical worthfully building - therefore - goverment is like the landlord.
Ooooh, so true! 😂 And don't forget having to put up with the bureau for historical buildings over every little stone you have to place somewhere else for repairs 💀 No one WANTS that
One should remember that almost every city was destroyed in ww2. Seeing this video reminds me of the effort, to rebuild a whole country and trying to restore the old instead of completly new buildings. I'm proud of who we are today😊
That's true! I think Germany could have been the most beautiful country with it's old architecture if WW2 did not happen, but who knows. They did a great job at rebuilding it!
But to be fair, most was still lost. The monuments mostly were rebuilt but the cities themselves could never been restored. When i visited Amsterdam i actually was astonished by the pure history of this city. You could see the old core of the city and how it became more modern on the outskirts. Germany couldn't rebuilt the old cities and the buildings that were hundreds of years old. And to this day you are clearly able to see that when you walk through the streets, with modern houses next to old houses that they were able to restore. Also: After the war we didn't have enough time and financial strength to restore everything. But still the people needed houses, so we built a lot of cheap and practical buildings which, sadly, were quite ugly, especially compared to the very old historical buildings. If you see pre-war pictures and post-war pictures you know that we never really restored the beauty of our cities. That might be the clearest reminder for us what war does to your country.

Depends. Major industrial centers were hit hard, but many smaller cities were hardly damaged at all. Many small towns in particular still have most of their really old buildings.
When you see these beautiful castles, palaces and buildings here, you still have to compliment India. With the Taj Mahal, your country has one of the most beautiful in the world. Greetings from Germany.
In Germany we like to build our houses solid, especially in the south of Germany where there can be harsh winters with a lot of snow. The roofs therefore are covered with special tiles that are very robust. On average, such a roof lasts around 70 to 100 years. These roof tiles nowadays can be found in several darker colours and in different materials, but in old times they were made of pressed clay, which was available almost everywhere, was inexpensive and sturdy, and the natural color is reddish-brown. In some regions, however, you can also find dark gray roofs made of slate, which is also very sturdy. You saw a lot of them too in the video, but they aren't as noticeable as the red-brown roofs ;-)
And cities with historical old towns will have regulations to keep the overall picture of that part of the city. Like forcing every new roof or building to use a specific colour and sometimes even match the old material. Most bigger german cities has a maximum hight you can build expecially again for their "old towns", that is why almost all german skyscraper can be find in Frankfurt, where a part of the city (the finance district) just couldn't handle the demand for more space without higher buildings.
4:33 Armenius (Herrmann) successfully led the Germanic tribes against the Romans. He himself had a Roman education. The Romans then stayed west of the Rhine and left the eastern bank to the Germans. The Germans were divided into many tribes. Over time this became many principalities. That's why Germany has so many castles. It was only when the French Napoleon occupied Germany that German nationality developed. Only together could the Germans get rid of Napoleon. This then led to the founding of the German Empire. This is German history in a few sentences.

Arminius was important, to be sure. But we don't know much about his life. And we should be aware that there were deliberate efforts during the National Romanticism of the 19th century to turn him into some mythical "founding father" of the German nation.
And this unification of all the smaller tribes and kingdoms, dukedoms and so on is what is meant by the first verse of the Deutschlandlied (the 3rd verse is our national anthem) when it talks about Germany above all. They mean a unified Germany is more important than anything else. It was never intended to mean that Germany should rule the world or is more important than other countries.
That statue was "Hermann der Cherusker" or Arminius. He is who fought the Romans out of Germany (northern half of it at least), while these were expanding their empire elsewhere. That brought us the title "Barbarians" 😉
The roofs are not painted it is the color of the material of the shingles. Old cities centres usually are kept the way because of cultural heritage. You see the same color of roof shingles in many countries in central Europe.
true - and it was AND IS a thing of.. "i dont care about the costs" ...some matierials are cheap - some not. So you showed a lot with the materials of your building.
The shingles are made from terracotta (which is also used in India) - essentially a type of clay, that when fired (to harden it) - turns into this typical orange/brown color (I am guessing this is from iron present in the clay). You can find this type of roofing all over Europe as it has been traditional for a very long time.
Guys you are so cute. Thanks for your kind words about Germany 😘 15:30 I live in a region called Eichsfeld (middle of Germany / Thuringia) and around my hometown we have six castles and palaces which I can reach in ~ 20 - 30 Minutes and I always discover something new when I visit these places. I hope you visit Germany or Europe someday to experience it for yourself. Until then, stay safe and healthy.
If Germany is a must visit to you guys: Please take ur time. You need at least a month to see a lot. Otherwise it'll be a tourist visit only, which means you will see the main very crowded "attractions" and the rest you won't see at all. Pro tip: Visit smaller places, villages, something not necessarily on the road map for a normal tourist. Visit places like Esslingen and Ludwigsburg, Gengenbach, Alpirsbach, Freiburg im Breisgau(There are plenty of Freiburg's =free castle) See Berchtesgaden and Oberstdorf, Füssen, Ulm, Köln, Hamburg, Cochem, Heidelberg, if you're into cars and such...Stuttgart has the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museum, Munich has the BMW museum... You get the picture? Yeah, sure, see the major tourist spots, but don't miss out on tiny German villages...they are lovely. I can imagine that the peace and quiet in Germany will be the first culture shock for you. It is quiet here! Even in huge cities you will realise how quiet it is...and I bet this will make you feel uncomfortable...at first. Then you get used to it and when you get home you will be annoyed with the constant noise back home. ^^ I warned you! ^^
Hi and hello from Germany, my name is Oliver and I stumbled across your YT channel by chance and I was so impressed by you two wonderful people and your interest and enthusiasm for the country I come from that I have two things to say to you! Thank you so much for taking the time to ignore all the prejudices about Germany, to find out about Germany and then watch your reactions! One of you said; German is a difficult and complicated language! That may well be true but all I can say is that many who have lived here for many years don't speak German nearly as well as you two, I almost can't believe that you have never been German! ...I just wanted to get that off my chest, so thank you for your enthusiasm and best wishes from Porta Westfalica Germany
4:27 Its the "Hermannsdenkmal (Hermann Memorial)". He was the war chief of the germanic tribe "Cherusci" in 9 AD. They had a victory over the Romans which were by far the biggest power in Europe back then. Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
But he was not german and his name was not realy Hermann. Hermann is a translation from the latin "dux belli" what means "war lord" (Herr man => Hermann). His real name was Armenius.
@@Dalmen No, he was the son of a Cheruscan chief who was allied with Rome. The Cherusci were a germanic tribe. Of course not german like a modern day german. But still germanic.
The roof color comes from the material, you fire clay, which turns red-brown to orange that is traditional roof shingles in the past, today you can make the roof shingles in all colors. In order to guarantee a uniform look in inner cities, this color is often prescribed
3:36 The castle at Schwerin was indeed the seat of the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg, iirc, and thus „ruling everything around“. Even nowadays it houses the Diet / Parliament of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, so it STILL rules everything around…
There are parts in Germany that are not that beautiful and of course those were some great places to show. But I am also sure every German can tell you some or even many other spots in their regions that could have been shown in the video and many Germans forget in everyday life that you can find those gems everywhere in Germany, if you are not only concentrating on the problems and the ugly "spots" ... Germany is beautifull - thanks for reminding us.
Most places have development plans , so if you wanna build there it blends in to the older buildings , the brown or red -ish colour of the roof comes from the tiles which are made from fired clay. Old buildings are mostly protected by law , so you can buy them but you have to keep them as they are . Half timbered houses , houses from fired clay bricks or sandstone are very popular because it is easy to make and are known to last for a long time ... there are many houses or buildings in germany who go back to the time line of Cesar.
@@markus-pg6me Hat nichts zu sagen. Englisch ist eine germanische Sprache mit französischem Einschlag. Selbst die von den Wikingern übernommenen Worte sind letztlich germanisch. Und trotzdem haben englischsprachige Leute Probleme. Vor allem wenn sie aus den USA kommen.

Germany has many very beautiful places (as other countries has, too). Owning a castle is very expensive if you want to live in it. Depending on the size of the castle, the upkeep of the castle and the expenses (heating, electricity, water, etc.) can range from around €500,000 to several million euros a year if you want to live in it yourself. That's why many castles (not all) can be visited for a fee, as this allows the castle owners to recoup some of the costs and maintain the castle.
Minute 3:16 and 4:05: My beautiful hometown. The Queen of the Hanseatic League. The wonderful Hanseatic city of Lübeck at the Baltic Sea with its famous Holsten Gate and the seven towers of its churches. Surrounded by water. I love living here where others vacation. Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein, dem wahren Norden. ❤❤❤ Minute 4:30 ist das Hermannsdenkmal de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermannsdenkmal
ext mit deiner Kamera übersetzen The roofs are covered with shingles. These are made of fired clay that has the color. There are also roofs that are made of black stone. On the coast there are also roofs made of straw or reeds. Which material is used and what color the roofs are depends on the region.
One of the citys you showed is Bamberg in Bavaria. It is UNESCO World Heritage an some of the Houses are more than 700 years old. It is so beautiful that I would recommend a visit. You will not be disappointed!!!😊
8:07 Freiburg im Breisgau is my hometown. It is the southest big city in Germany. Through the city, the old town, are floating little creeks called „Bächle“
5:00 The buildings around the Cologne Dom were all destroyed in WW2. It was a wonder that it didn't receive more damage. New buildings aren't allowed to be higher than the Dom in the near vicinity. So you can clearly see it from all directions.
As a german, i am very impressed by your knowledge of all the places ... you recognised a lot more than i did :D EDIT: yes, germany is so beautiful in most of the places
2:25 these are just the way people build roofs back in the day ( and still now, just more advanced ) and the coloring of the tile is due to iron oxidizing ( i think). but still if you own a building, especially in historic towns and town squares and stuff, you must sure it fits to the "stadtbild" (like the vibe/look of the city), so you cant just build anything and destroy how the city looks and feels.
2:47 There can be local regulations with regard to the looks of buildings, color and type roof tiles, roof tilt, outer wall colors, size of the building in relation to the size of the piece of land it is standing on, etc etc etc - but sometimes, villages, towns or cities just regulate the size of the building in relation to the plot and occasionally the distance between buildings (the latter for reasons of accessibility of all parts of the building to fire trucks with ladders and water hoses and pumps).
I hope you know that these buildings all build the historic parts of our Cities and towns. Regular apartment buildings don't look like that. 😄 It was fun to watch you looking so impressed. ❤️
in Germany you have something called "Bebauungsplan" (land development plan) which says what is allowed in a certain piece of land and even can tell you what roof and house colours are allowed, how much green you'll need to have, how much you can use for what purpose (like living space, industry and so on) - basically rules rules and even more rules :D
The green statue is Arminius "Armin" Hermann der Cherusker...he justified what is called germany today as he united all german tribes to beat the roman empire in the varus battle...there is a series on netflix called "barbarians" telling the german story very well...i can tell you as a born cherusker, im glad you like germany :)
How does it come you know the City and even the Name of the Building each After merely half a second? Absolutely amazing! It takes a Bit langer to me as a Swiss 😮
Most of the houses were built by people several hundred years ago. Of course not churches and functional buildings. They have been repeatedly modernized, enlarged, expanded and in most inner cities there are regulations on how the outside should be designed. In the game “Manor Lords” you can see how a city is created. Dresden, for example, was completely destroyed in the war. New Soviet style prefab blocks were built there and the historic center was left fallow. It was only around 2005 that a private initiative made up of investors was found to reconstruct the part according to the old model. The buildings are modern but the facades are historical. I was there once when the weather was really good and the view is breathtaking. Is there a documentary about it?
*"modern" buildings: mostly made in the 70ies and ugly a.f. (being built quickly, cheap and without even trying to restore some of the former glamour). Of course, there are some exceptions where more modern buildings are looking stylish / fancy or even trying to imitate the old styles.

Wow 😍😍😍 Im from germany. This was one of the most beautiful reaction ive ever seen. You are both so adorable. You asked why our towns are round... i cames from middle ages . The old cores from towns are round most of the time. It was easier to defend and harder to strike. Even my little place where i grew up (about 600 people living there) was set up in1766.

I consider myself more well-traveled in Germany than most other Germans. Still, I have started to translate old German folk tales in recent years which motivated me to research the different regions of Germany - and this added _so_ many places in Germany I want to visit to my bucket list. This video covers some of the more impressive views of Germany, but that's still barely covering the surface - for example, I think it should definitely have included the "Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe" in Kassel. It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and I recommend watching some videos of it!
The color of the roofs comes from the clay that is used for the roof tiles. These tiles are very heavy duty and if one gets loose and hits you, you're out. Maybe even for good. There are some other colors as well, like blue and dark brown, metal roofs for industrial buildings and some churchs, and some old houses still have roofs made out of reed. In most historical cities you're only allowed to use the orange tiles. And sometimes even the shape is set by local government. Some old houses are even protected by some kind of historical building act, which means that it's your house but you can't just do what you want with it: Need a new roof? Tiles has to be exactly like the old ones. Need new windows? The new window has to look like the old ones. You want a wall inside gone to make 2 rooms as one? Nope. Want some new hand rails on your stairs? Only if the old ones are damaged. And who pays for the extra costs of making your house look like the old one? YOU, of course. Well, the government tells you what you can and can not do, but It's your house, so YOU pay for it... Oh, and you want some solar panels on your roof? Like green energy and stuff? You're kidding, right?! That historical building act is important to preserve the old houses, of course. But some local governments have some really strict rules which add a lot of costs to owning a home, sometimes making renovations almost impossible to pay for.
The most beautiful and world-famous German castle is King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein. This castle has served as the inspiration for almost all fairytale castles in Hollywood films.
Others mentioned the roof shingles. But I want to add the note that, due to freezing temperatures in the winter, it is rather unusual to have actual paint on the walls of old buildings (since the color would peel off). This is why old churches have the color of whatever stones were used in their construction, and the same applies to the red roof shingles as well. This is quite a contrast to many places in Asia - when I visited Thailand, for example, it took some time getting used to how colorful many temples were.
The second statue is for Bismarck, the iron chancellor who united Germany in 1871 in Versailles France. He was probably the best diplomat and politician in Germany´s history and had established the first true social welfare state.
Always amazing to see what we got. You are right- it should be an offiziell spot from the government for visiting Germany ;-) Another reality is that nearly all of Europe is pure beauty, saying that as a german visiting several countries with the Volkswagen camper. Taking everthing together, things like free education even for foreigners, ``free`` healthcare, a social system where you get paid a even when you do not work or find a job, quality of living, standard and diversity of living in different landscapes and cultural traditions , we are one of the top 3. Yeah, Finnland, Norway, Swiss and so on got better grades, but Germany does that with 84.000.000 Million people (and it was totally destroyed not so long ago...
14:27 "It's so quiet!" - We don't have actual audio from these locations in this video. But as it happens, the relative quiet in Germany _is_ quite a surprise for many visitors, especially from Asia. The noise levels even in German cities is a _lot_ lower than in pretty much any Asian metropolis - and it's even more extreme in the countryside.
I think the red roofs have historically been created due to the iron oxide in the tiles. Tiles are robust and can be made very thin due to their individual production, which saves weight. I think that then spread. But it is only my assumption. 😅😊
It is so nice to see our beautiful country through your eyes! Culturally, however, we are Indo- Germanic, i.e. the Celts, who were on the wanderings of the peoples, have shaped our culture. Thanks to India at this point! What might our ancestors have seen in this country? Thank you for the beautiful response.
To be fair, there are a million more nice places that they could have used in that video, but there are also quite a few horrible places, even really central ones. Frankfurt main train station and the area around it comes to mind, a place actually many tourists see since Frankfurt is the biggest airport here, and when you get to the main train station you feel like you are in Somalia or something. As a tourist that wants to enjoy that "classic beauty" I would stick to mostly small to mid size towns like Rothenburg, Dinkelsbühl, Quedlinburg, Potsdam etc. For bigger cities go to Munich, Nürnberg, Dresden.
Watching you watching a video about Germany remembers me how wonderful my country ist😉 (sometimes I forget it) I think i will make a roundtrip through Germany on my next Holidays. Thank you 😀👍Greets from Cologne.
You asked about why many of our buildings look brownish or orange colored. The Romans brought clay tiles to us millennia ago and its used here ever since. Also most historic buildings are made of sandstone, which has a brownish reddish tone. Hope you to vist our lovely country someday. My best wishes to both of you.
The German language is not tough to learn. It is a year of tears and the rest of your life a joy. English is a year of joy and a life-time of tears. Choose wisely! ;-) Don't listen to Mark Twain! It means: German is very logical, very structured and very much obeying its own grammatical cases. So, once you got it and it clicks, you got it forever, and it is getting easier by the day. Englsih is the exact opposite, easy to learn, but hard to master. German is hard to learn, but easy to master. Don't give up! If you are on the verge of: "I want to learn German and possibly move there" go ahead...and do just that. It'll pay off in the long run. Why? German is not only the language. For people from India especially interesting might be the structured language part is also the same structured learning part you will need in the sciences and engineering. It is no coincidence, that the best engineers come from Germany. We are raised to be exactly that. Smart, curious and innovative beings that make the planet a better place for all of us. Be part of it! We love smart people...come and live with us. It will only benefit you. There are 10s of thousands of your fellow Indian people already here, and we need more smart people to get the ship going. ^^ Come...

8:03 This is the statue of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in Hamburg. 7:30 This is the Kyffhäuser monument with Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa. Also known as Redbeard (Barbarossa = Rotbart). There are several old legends about him. In 1155, Frederick Barbarossa was the first Hohenstaufen to be crowned emperor. He became famous for his long-lasting disputes with Henry the Lion, the cities of Northern Italy and the Pope. In the last years of his life, he prepared a crusade to Jerusalem. 12:21 This is not the parliament building. This is the Ludwigsburg Residential Palace in Baden-Württemberg The government sits in the Bundestag, in the Reichstag building in Berlin.
Germany is one country with literally hundreds of castles from north to south from east to west. It is a pity that a lot of the "old" towns and cities were destroyed by the raid of the American and Britisch bombers during WW II, but partly the old buildings were renewed and restored. When I see these pictures I am very proud of coming of a culture which lasts over thousand years... Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland...loving greetings from Germany...❤❤❤❤
The roofs of the houses are not painted brown. Its because the roof tiles are made of some kind of terracotta and these are the most common and affordable roof tiles which are lasting very long. So Germans like to choose the best balance of quality and costs.
All these castles, especially those on the heights, were not built for war, but for peace. The more castles were built by a ruler, the more the land around was pacified. Only nobles were knights and if they had not inherited anything, they became robber barons and marauded through the countryside. The castles offered protection because the attacks were concentrated on the surrounding villages, where there was livestock and much more to be taken, and the farmers could retreat to the castle to at least save their lives. The people provided for and fed the lord of the castle, who in return was obliged to protect his farmers, if necessary by force of arms. The last place of refuge in the event of a storming was the so-called "Burgfried". This word also contains the word peace - "fried" = "Frieden"
The statue is for Hermann the Cherusker (or Arminius, his Roman name) a leader of a Germanic tribe in the North of Germany who actually beat the Roman legions trying to occupy the North. Had he not been successful Germany would probably been another France which is no catastrophe but simply different. Germany would have lost it´s soul.
my friend is from india Merrit and sees snow for the first time :P he called me in the morning and ask me why the germans paint all white in the night :P lol i tell him go outside its snow
Large buildings: roughly paid for - by the public. Mostly by the citizens (through various "constructs") If it comes to "government" this is a complicated issue, as Germany consisted in the past (before 1806) out of hundreds of largely independent territories. As an example I picked the following 3 which are rather close to each other. But with completely different political (government) structures. 2:23 Nuremberg Free Imperical City (a city-state) Ruled by a lord mayor and the city council (both elected by the citizens). The scene shows in the first place the Imperial Castle. It hosted for long the imperial regalia (which are now in Vienna). It was however an honor to host the emperor when on visit and the imperial regalia (thus Nuremberg paid largely for this as well). Was also one of the biggest cities in the empire. Two (of the many) Free Imperial Cities - Hamburg and Bremen - managed to stay independent and are nowadays own Federal States of Germany. 2:07 Bamberg The capital city of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg Ruled by a prince-bishop (elected by a chapter of local clerics) The legend says that the bishop denied the citizens a plot to build a city hall - thus they built it in the middle of the river (2:14). That's not really correct. But it shows that also these cities had quite some self-rule. 9:17 Landshut The capital city of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut. Ruled by a noble family (succession). Parish Church St. Marin (completed in 1501) is still the highest building made out of bricks (without concrete/steel enforcements) on the planet.
Hello, I am from Germany. 🤭 Of course all these shown places and landscapes exist here in Germany. But keep in mind that the whole video was made like an advertisement video about this country. They picked only the best tourist spots and showed not one single picture from normal german streets and modern cities. Yes, there are many nice litte cities, especially in the south of Germany that have still a lot of middle ages buildings and great churches and castles. Maybe you know that modern Germany was founded in 1871. Before that it did consist of endless amount of little kingdoms and so this is the reason why there are so many castles. But do not think here it's a big deal with royalty, today most castles are used for public buildings, hotels, universities etc. Those that are still in private hand belong sometimes to monument protection societies and can be visited for money. During the war many cities were destroyed nearly completely and not everything was build again to the old layout. There are many places and cities that look completely different from what you sae in this video. Nevertheless Germany is a beautiful country, thats right and its also really diverse from the islands in the see to the mountains in the south. On thing I like to suggest: Your blend in video ist not completely to be seen, there is a part at the bottom missing. You should try to adjust this in future. Thank you for your interest in my home country, I would really like to visit India to see at least one or two places from your gigantic country. 💝

04:32, "what is that satue ?", Arminius, the man wich united the german Tribes, and defeated the invasion Army of Rome in the Teutoburg Forrest in 9 AD
The government in Germany had the right to tell you how houses in the Area should look like from the outside. If you build it not like the government want it you must do rebuild the house or change the outside for them. Maybe it sound like unfair but the government want that there are no disturbing buildings in the area that breaks the harmony of the citys and towns. You asked what kind of statue that is. Germany is part of the old Roman Empire and has many influences from Roman culture such as architecture, art and literature and this statue also represents a Roman legionary. These statues exist in various forms throughout Germany and used to convey to every traveler that they were now in the territory of the Roman Empire.

And the „Deutsche Trümmerfrauen“ did all by themselves! Germany are makers!

Impressive Germany,,greetings from a Dutch
But to be fair, most was still lost. The monuments mostly were rebuilt but the cities themselves could never been restored.
When i visited Amsterdam i actually was astonished by the pure history of this city. You could see the old core of the city and how it became more modern on the outskirts.
Germany couldn't rebuilt the old cities and the buildings that were hundreds of years old. And to this day you are clearly able to see that when you walk through the streets, with modern houses next to old houses that they were able to restore.
Also: After the war we didn't have enough time and financial strength to restore everything. But still the people needed houses, so we built a lot of cheap and practical buildings which, sadly, were quite ugly, especially compared to the very old historical buildings.
If you see pre-war pictures and post-war pictures you know that we never really restored the beauty of our cities. That might be the clearest reminder for us what war does to your country.
Depends. Major industrial centers were hit hard, but many smaller cities were hardly damaged at all. Many small towns in particular still have most of their really old buildings.
When you see these beautiful castles, palaces and buildings here, you still have to compliment India.
With the Taj Mahal, your country has one of the most beautiful in the world.
Greetings from Germany.
Yes and that Sikh Temple, golden Temple or what was the name?
So beautiful with all the water
Fettnäpfchen. Taj Mahal ist Pakistan...
Thank you for being so nice with your kind words about Germany. ❤
Our pleasure!
In Germany we like to build our houses solid, especially in the south of Germany where there can be harsh winters with a lot of snow. The roofs therefore are covered with special tiles that are very robust. On average, such a roof lasts around 70 to 100 years. These roof tiles nowadays can be found in several darker colours and in different materials, but in old times they were made of pressed clay, which was available almost everywhere, was inexpensive and sturdy, and the natural color is reddish-brown.
In some regions, however, you can also find dark gray roofs made of slate, which is also very sturdy. You saw a lot of them too in the video, but they aren't as noticeable as the red-brown roofs ;-)
And cities with historical old towns will have regulations to keep the overall picture of that part of the city. Like forcing every new roof or building to use a specific colour and sometimes even match the old material.
Most bigger german cities has a maximum hight you can build expecially again for their "old towns", that is why almost all german skyscraper can be find in Frankfurt, where a part of the city (the finance district) just couldn't handle the demand for more space without higher buildings.

4:33 Armenius (Herrmann) successfully led the Germanic tribes against the Romans.
He himself had a Roman education.
The Romans then stayed west of the Rhine and left the eastern bank to the Germans.
The Germans were divided into many tribes. Over time this became many principalities. That's why Germany has so many castles.
It was only when the French Napoleon occupied Germany that German nationality developed.
Only together could the Germans get rid of Napoleon. This then led to the founding of the German Empire.
This is German history in a few sentences.
Arminius was important, to be sure.
But we don't know much about his life. And we should be aware that there were deliberate efforts during the National Romanticism of the 19th century to turn him into some mythical "founding father" of the German nation.
And this unification of all the smaller tribes and kingdoms, dukedoms and so on is what is meant by the first verse of the Deutschlandlied (the 3rd verse is our national anthem) when it talks about Germany above all. They mean a unified Germany is more important than anything else. It was never intended to mean that Germany should rule the world or is more important than other countries.
That statue was "Hermann der Cherusker" or Arminius. He is who fought the Romans out of Germany (northern half of it at least), while these were expanding their empire elsewhere. That brought us the title "Barbarians" 😉
...and the statue in Hamburg was our first chancelor Otto von Bismarck

The roofs are not painted it is the color of the material of the shingles. Old cities centres usually are kept the way because of cultural heritage. You see the same color of roof shingles in many countries in central Europe.
true - and it was AND IS a thing of.. "i dont care about the costs" ...some matierials are cheap - some not. So you showed a lot with the materials of your building.
The shingles are made from terracotta (which is also used in India) - essentially a type of clay, that when fired (to harden it) - turns into this typical orange/brown color (I am guessing this is from iron present in the clay).
You can find this type of roofing all over Europe as it has been traditional for a very long time.
Guys you are so cute. Thanks for your kind words about Germany 😘 15:30 I live in a region called Eichsfeld (middle of Germany / Thuringia) and around my hometown we have six castles and palaces which I can reach in ~ 20 - 30 Minutes and I always discover something new when I visit these places. I hope you visit Germany or Europe someday to experience it for yourself. Until then, stay safe and healthy.
Eine Architektur gewachsen in 2000 Jahren...meine Heimat... vielen Dank für das Video

If Germany is a must visit to you guys: Please take ur time. You need at least a month to see a lot. Otherwise it'll be a tourist visit only, which means you will see the main very crowded "attractions" and the rest you won't see at all.
Pro tip: Visit smaller places, villages, something not necessarily on the road map for a normal tourist.
Visit places like Esslingen and Ludwigsburg, Gengenbach, Alpirsbach, Freiburg im Breisgau(There are plenty of Freiburg's =free castle)
See Berchtesgaden and Oberstdorf, Füssen, Ulm, Köln, Hamburg, Cochem, Heidelberg, if you're into cars and such...Stuttgart has the Mercedes-Benz and Porsche museum, Munich has the BMW museum...
You get the picture?
Yeah, sure, see the major tourist spots, but don't miss out on tiny German villages...they are lovely.
I can imagine that the peace and quiet in Germany will be the first culture shock for you. It is quiet here!
Even in huge cities you will realise how quiet it is...and I bet this will make you feel uncomfortable...at first.
Then you get used to it and when you get home you will be annoyed with the constant noise back home. ^^
I warned you! ^^

Thank you so much for taking the time to ignore all the prejudices about Germany, to find out about Germany and then watch your reactions!
One of you said; German is a difficult and complicated language! That may well be true but all I can say is that many who have lived here for many years don't speak German nearly as well as you two, I almost can't believe that you have never been German!

Its the "Hermannsdenkmal (Hermann Memorial)".
He was the war chief of the germanic tribe "Cherusci" in 9 AD.
They had a victory over the Romans which were by far the biggest power in Europe back then. Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
But he was not german and his name was not realy Hermann. Hermann is a translation from the latin "dux belli" what means "war lord" (Herr man => Hermann). His real name was Armenius.
Fun fact: It was Luther the Reformer who translated Armenius to Hermann 😊
@@Dalmen No, he was the son of a Cheruscan chief who was allied with Rome.
The Cherusci were a germanic tribe.
Of course not german like a modern day german. But still germanic.
@@Dalmen it was not his real name it was the name the roman´s gave him!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermannsdenkmal
The roof color comes from the material, you fire clay, which turns red-brown to orange that is traditional roof shingles in the past, today you can make the roof shingles in all colors.
In order to guarantee a uniform look in inner cities, this color is often prescribed
In other regions, slate was used, resulting in grey roofs.
@@Astrofrank Yes, and the green roofs often on churches are oxidized copper.
3:36 The castle at Schwerin was indeed the seat of the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg, iirc, and thus „ruling everything around“. Even nowadays it houses the Diet / Parliament of the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, so it STILL rules everything around…
If you count all the castles, palaces, manors still intact and ruins in Germany, you'll get more than 25,000 of them.
There are parts in Germany that are not that beautiful and of course those were some great places to show. But I am also sure every German can tell you some or even many other spots in their regions that could have been shown in the video and many Germans forget in everyday life that you can find those gems everywhere in Germany, if you are not only concentrating on the problems and the ugly "spots" ... Germany is beautifull - thanks for reminding us.
As a Dutch who did visit my brother in they 90s in Canada.

The roofs depend on t6he region. In the south the use Ziegel, that is a red-orange color. In other regions they use Schiefer, which is black.
Most places have development plans , so if you wanna build there it blends in to the older buildings , the brown or red -ish colour of the roof comes from the tiles which are made from fired clay. Old buildings are mostly protected by law , so you can buy them but you have to keep them as they are . Half timbered houses , houses from fired clay bricks or sandstone are very popular because it is easy to make and are known to last for a long time ... there are many houses or buildings in germany who go back to the time line of Cesar.
At 2:40 , in Historic City Centers, there are very strikt rules how to paint ore restore these medievel Houses by the local Department…

Germany has many very beautiful places (as other countries has, too).
Owning a castle is very expensive if you want to live in it. Depending on the size of the castle, the upkeep of the castle and the expenses (heating, electricity, water, etc.) can range from around €500,000 to several million euros a year if you want to live in it yourself. That's why many castles (not all) can be visited for a fee, as this allows the castle owners to recoup some of the costs and maintain the castle.
Your admiration for my country makes me almost crying - thank you!
Minute 3:16 and 4:05: My beautiful hometown. The Queen of the Hanseatic League. The wonderful Hanseatic city of Lübeck at the Baltic Sea with its famous Holsten Gate and the seven towers of its churches. Surrounded by water. I love living here where others vacation.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermannsdenkmal
The roofs are covered with special tiles (Dachziegel) therefore is the color of the roofs.
ext mit deiner Kamera übersetzen
The roofs are covered with shingles. These are made of fired clay that has the color. There are also roofs that are made of black stone. On the coast there are also roofs made of straw or reeds. Which material is used and what color the roofs are depends on the region.
They use the material that is available in the region. In Rocky areas they use more stones, in a Region with a lot of clay they used clay etc.
One of the citys you showed is Bamberg in Bavaria. It is UNESCO World Heritage an some of the Houses are more than 700 years old. It is so beautiful that I would recommend a visit. You will not be disappointed!!!😊
8:07 Freiburg im Breisgau is my hometown. It is the southest big city in Germany.
Through the city, the old town, are floating little creeks called „Bächle“
The roofing tiles in Germany are traditionally mostly reddish-brown color I'd say. There are areas where black slate is predominant.
5:00 The buildings around the Cologne Dom were all destroyed in WW2. It was a wonder that it didn't receive more damage. New buildings aren't allowed to be higher than the Dom in the near vicinity. So you can clearly see it from all directions.
As a german, i am very impressed by your knowledge of all the places ... you recognised a lot more than i did :D EDIT: yes, germany is so beautiful in most of the places
Weil du im Originalvideo die Untertitel mit den Ortsnamen einschalten kannst.
2:25 these are just the way people build roofs back in the day ( and still now, just more advanced ) and the coloring of the tile is due to iron oxidizing ( i think).
but still if you own a building, especially in historic towns and town squares and stuff, you must sure it fits to the "stadtbild" (like the vibe/look of the city), so you cant just build anything and destroy how the city looks and feels.
2:47 There can be local regulations with regard to the looks of buildings, color and type roof tiles, roof tilt, outer wall colors, size of the building in relation to the size of the piece of land it is standing on, etc etc etc - but sometimes, villages, towns or cities just regulate the size of the building in relation to the plot and occasionally the distance between buildings (the latter for reasons of accessibility of all parts of the building to fire trucks with ladders and water hoses and pumps).
I hope you know that these buildings all build the historic parts of our Cities and towns. Regular apartment buildings don't look like that. 😄
It was fun to watch you looking so impressed. ❤️
Munich is the English pronunciation, in Germany it is called München
in Germany you have something called "Bebauungsplan" (land development plan) which says what is allowed in a certain piece of land and even can tell you what roof and house colours are allowed, how much green you'll need to have, how much you can use for what purpose (like living space, industry and so on) - basically rules rules and even more rules :D
Wait till they see Frankfirt Hauptbahnhof or Görlitzer Park.
13:00 its not like a circle its the actual remaining citywalls :-)
Respekt.
Ihr kennt euch besser aus, als viele Deutsche. ❤
Lovely greetings from Germany ❤
I appreciate how you pronounce all the city names properly without any problem
The green statue is Arminius "Armin" Hermann der Cherusker...he justified what is called germany today as he united all german tribes to beat the roman empire in the varus battle...there is a series on netflix called "barbarians" telling the german story very well...i can tell you as a born cherusker, im glad you like germany :)
How does it come you know the City and even the Name of the Building each After merely half a second? Absolutely amazing!
It takes a Bit langer to me as a Swiss 😮
Most of the houses were built by people several hundred years ago. Of course not churches and functional buildings. They have been repeatedly modernized, enlarged, expanded and in most inner cities there are regulations on how the outside should be designed.
In the game “Manor Lords” you can see how a city is created.
Dresden, for example, was completely destroyed in the war. New Soviet style prefab blocks were built there and the historic center was left fallow. It was only around 2005 that a private initiative made up of investors was found to reconstruct the part according to the old model. The buildings are modern but the facades are historical. I was there once when the weather was really good and the view is breathtaking.
Is there a documentary about it?
*"modern" buildings:
mostly made in the 70ies and ugly a.f. (being built quickly, cheap and without even trying to restore some of the former glamour).
Of course, there are some exceptions where more modern buildings are looking stylish / fancy or even trying to imitate the old styles.
@@luftwolf7405 Dresden Altstadtmarkt? Der lag doch jahrelang brach, oder nicht? Die DDR Fertigblocks sind doch davor. Oder standen dort dann doch Wohnhäuser?

You got me hooked , like Your Energy , greetings from Germany
I love your reaction... greets & love from germany 🙏💕
Wow 😍😍😍 Im from germany. This was one of the most beautiful reaction ive ever seen. You are both so adorable. You asked why our towns are round... i cames from middle ages . The old cores from towns are round most of the time. It was easier to defend and harder to strike. Even my little place where i grew up (about 600 people living there) was set up in1766.
I consider myself more well-traveled in Germany than most other Germans. Still, I have started to translate old German folk tales in recent years which motivated me to research the different regions of Germany - and this added _so_ many places in Germany I want to visit to my bucket list.
This video covers some of the more impressive views of Germany, but that's still barely covering the surface - for example, I think it should definitely have included the "Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe" in Kassel. It's an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and I recommend watching some videos of it!
In most city centers you have regulations on how to build. It is called "Denkmalschutz" meaning "protection of heritage" .
The color of the roofs comes from the clay that is used for the roof tiles. These tiles are very heavy duty and if one gets loose and hits you, you're out. Maybe even for good. There are some other colors as well, like blue and dark brown, metal roofs for industrial buildings and some churchs, and some old houses still have roofs made out of reed. In most historical cities you're only allowed to use the orange tiles. And sometimes even the shape is set by local government. Some old houses are even protected by some kind of historical building act, which means that it's your house but you can't just do what you want with it: Need a new roof? Tiles has to be exactly like the old ones. Need new windows? The new window has to look like the old ones. You want a wall inside gone to make 2 rooms as one? Nope. Want some new hand rails on your stairs? Only if the old ones are damaged. And who pays for the extra costs of making your house look like the old one? YOU, of course. Well, the government tells you what you can and can not do, but It's your house, so YOU pay for it... Oh, and you want some solar panels on your roof? Like green energy and stuff? You're kidding, right?!
That historical building act is important to preserve the old houses, of course. But some local governments have some really strict rules which add a lot of costs to owning a home, sometimes making renovations almost impossible to pay for.
The most beautiful and world-famous German castle is King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein. This castle has served as the inspiration for almost all fairytale castles in Hollywood films.
its nice to see my birthplace and my fathers workplace!
8:03 Minutes, Hamburg - Bismarck Denkmal (Statue)
Others mentioned the roof shingles. But I want to add the note that, due to freezing temperatures in the winter, it is rather unusual to have actual paint on the walls of old buildings (since the color would peel off). This is why old churches have the color of whatever stones were used in their construction, and the same applies to the red roof shingles as well. This is quite a contrast to many places in Asia - when I visited Thailand, for example, it took some time getting used to how colorful many temples were.
The second statue is for Bismarck, the iron chancellor who united Germany in 1871 in Versailles France. He was probably the best diplomat and politician in Germany´s history and had established the first true social welfare state.
Always amazing to see what we got. You are right- it should be an offiziell spot from the government for visiting Germany ;-) Another reality is that nearly all of Europe is pure beauty, saying that as a german visiting several countries with the Volkswagen camper. Taking everthing together, things like free education even for foreigners, ``free`` healthcare, a social system where you get paid a even when you do not work or find a job, quality of living, standard and diversity of living in different landscapes and cultural traditions , we are one of the top 3. Yeah, Finnland, Norway, Swiss and so on got better grades, but Germany does that with 84.000.000 Million people (and it was totally destroyed not so long ago...
Thank you for your Video from Germany
14:27 "It's so quiet!" - We don't have actual audio from these locations in this video.
But as it happens, the relative quiet in Germany _is_ quite a surprise for many visitors, especially from Asia. The noise levels even in German cities is a _lot_ lower than in pretty much any Asian metropolis - and it's even more extreme in the countryside.
I think the red roofs have historically been created due to the iron oxide in the tiles. Tiles are robust and can be made very thin due to their individual production, which saves weight. I think that then spread.
But it is only my assumption. 😅😊
It is so nice to see our beautiful country through your eyes!
Culturally, however, we are Indo- Germanic, i.e. the Celts, who were on the wanderings of the peoples, have shaped our culture. Thanks to India at this point!
What might our ancestors have seen in this country?
Thank you for the beautiful response.
To be fair, there are a million more nice places that they could have used in that video, but there are also quite a few horrible places, even really central ones. Frankfurt main train station and the area around it comes to mind, a place actually many tourists see since Frankfurt is the biggest airport here, and when you get to the main train station you feel like you are in Somalia or something.
As a tourist that wants to enjoy that "classic beauty" I would stick to mostly small to mid size towns like Rothenburg, Dinkelsbühl, Quedlinburg, Potsdam etc. For bigger cities go to Munich, Nürnberg, Dresden.
Watching you watching a video about Germany remembers me how wonderful my country ist😉 (sometimes I forget it) I think i will make a roundtrip through Germany on my next Holidays. Thank you 😀👍Greets from Cologne.
Love you guys ❤️🤗 Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
You asked about why many of our buildings look brownish or orange colored. The Romans brought clay tiles to us millennia ago and its used here ever since. Also most historic buildings are made of sandstone, which has a brownish reddish tone.
Hope you to vist our lovely country someday. My best wishes to both of you.
The German language is not tough to learn. It is a year of tears and the rest of your life a joy.
English is a year of joy and a life-time of tears.
Choose wisely! ;-)
Don't listen to Mark Twain!
It means: German is very logical, very structured and very much obeying its own grammatical cases.
So, once you got it and it clicks, you got it forever, and it is getting easier by the day.
Englsih is the exact opposite, easy to learn, but hard to master. German is hard to learn, but easy to master.
Don't give up! If you are on the verge of: "I want to learn German and possibly move there" go ahead...and do just that.
It'll pay off in the long run.
Why?
German is not only the language.
For people from India especially interesting might be the structured language part is also the same structured learning part you will need in the sciences and engineering.
It is no coincidence, that the best engineers come from Germany. We are raised to be exactly that. Smart, curious and innovative beings that make the planet a better place for all of us.

Germany is one country with literally hundreds of castles from north to south from east to west. It is a pity that a lot of the "old" towns and cities were destroyed by the raid of the American and Britisch bombers during WW II, but partly the old buildings were renewed and restored. When I see these pictures I am very proud of coming of a culture which lasts over thousand years...
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland...loving greetings from Germany...❤❤❤❤
Hundreds? More the 25000 castles and similar buildings, though this number includes ruins.
The roofs of the houses are not painted brown.
Its because the roof tiles are made of some kind of terracotta and these are the most common and affordable roof tiles which are lasting very long.
So Germans like to choose the best balance of quality and costs.
And besides Bavaria, the the north of Germany is preety, exspecialy the Islands!

Thank you

Great thing: you could name almost all places! ❤️
All these castles, especially those on the heights, were not built for war, but for peace.
The more castles were built by a ruler, the more the land around was pacified.
Only nobles were knights and if they had not inherited anything, they became robber barons and marauded through the countryside.
The castles offered protection because the attacks were concentrated on the surrounding villages, where there was livestock and much more to be taken, and the farmers could retreat to the castle to at least save their lives.
The people provided for and fed the lord of the castle, who in return was obliged to protect his farmers, if necessary by force of arms. The last place of refuge in the event of a storming was the so-called "Burgfried". This word also contains the word peace - "fried" = "Frieden"
The statue is for Hermann the Cherusker (or Arminius, his Roman name) a leader of a Germanic tribe in the North of Germany who actually beat the Roman legions trying to occupy the North. Had he not been successful Germany would probably been another France which is no catastrophe but simply different. Germany would have lost it´s soul.

Hello there!
Germany ist very Clean🇩🇪
Large buildings: roughly paid for - by the public. Mostly by the citizens (through various "constructs")
If it comes to "government" this is a complicated issue, as Germany consisted in the past (before 1806) out of hundreds of largely independent territories.
As an example I picked the following 3 which are rather close to each other. But with completely different political (government) structures.
2:23 Nuremberg
Free Imperical City (a city-state)
Ruled by a lord mayor and the city council (both elected by the citizens).
The scene shows in the first place the Imperial Castle. It hosted for long the imperial regalia (which are now in Vienna). It was however an honor to host the emperor when on visit and the imperial regalia (thus Nuremberg paid largely for this as well).
Was also one of the biggest cities in the empire. Two (of the many) Free Imperial Cities - Hamburg and Bremen - managed to stay independent and are nowadays own Federal States of Germany.
2:07 Bamberg
The capital city of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg
Ruled by a prince-bishop (elected by a chapter of local clerics)
The legend says that the bishop denied the citizens a plot to build a city hall - thus they built it in the middle of the river (2:14). That's not really correct. But it shows that also these cities had quite some self-rule.
9:17 Landshut
The capital city of the Duchy of Bavaria-Landshut.
Ruled by a noble family (succession).
Parish Church St. Marin (completed in 1501) is still the highest building made out of bricks (without concrete/steel enforcements) on the planet.
Hello, I am from Germany. 🤭 Of course all these shown places and landscapes exist here in Germany. But keep in mind that the whole video was made like an advertisement video about this country. They picked only the best tourist spots and showed not one single picture from normal german streets and modern cities. Yes, there are many nice litte cities, especially in the south of Germany that have still a lot of middle ages buildings and great churches and castles. Maybe you know that modern Germany was founded in 1871. Before that it did consist of endless amount of little kingdoms and so this is the reason why there are so many castles. But do not think here it's a big deal with royalty, today most castles are used for public buildings, hotels, universities etc. Those that are still in private hand belong sometimes to monument protection societies and can be visited for money.
During the war many cities were destroyed nearly completely and not everything was build again to the old layout. There are many places and cities that look completely different from what you sae in this video.
Nevertheless Germany is a beautiful country, thats right and its also really diverse from the islands in the see to the mountains in the south.
On thing I like to suggest: Your blend in video ist not completely to be seen, there is a part at the bottom missing. You should try to adjust this in future.
Thank you for your interest in my home country, I would really like to visit India to see at least one or two places from your gigantic country. 💝

ä (Ä), ü (Ü) and ö (Ö) are not just a (A), u (U) and o (O) with accents. Those are totally different letters and are pronounced very different.
They are, what we call "Umlaute" (plural) or "Umlaut" (singular) ... I think in English they would be called "mutated vowels"

I love the Indian English 😍 It sound so beautiful and cute!
The government in Germany had the right to tell you how houses in the Area should look like from the outside. If you build it not like the government want it you must do rebuild the house or change the outside for them. Maybe it sound like unfair but the government want that there are no disturbing buildings in the area that breaks the harmony of the citys and towns. You asked what kind of statue that is. Germany is part of the old Roman Empire and has many influences from Roman culture such as architecture, art and literature and this statue also represents a Roman legionary. These statues exist in various forms throughout Germany and used to convey to every traveler that they were now in the territory of the Roman Empire.
