I think they made another video about Sankt Peter-Ording, a beach famous for all the infrastructure (restaurants, restrooms, lifeguards' office) built on stilts, because on some days in winter the whole beach is flooded at high tide. And that beach is about 2 kilometres wide, the widest beach on the German mainland. I think only those on the islands of Amrum and Rømø (Denmark) have wider beaches.
Those warehouses on the canal have streets on the other side, they were built as harbour infrastructure before containerisation, imagine the canal full of barges, with cranes integrated into the buildings lifting sacks of spices and whatever up and down. Doing logistics like that has become basically extinct, especially as most traders have moved out by now, or at least moved their operations out. Quite a touristy restaurant/museum area by now.
Greetings from Bremerhaven. 3:04 This is in Hamburg's Speicherstadt (Warehouse District). These are old warehouses where, in the past, coffee beans, spices, wheat, flour and other things were transported and stored via this sea route. In the area at the far right of the horizon, next to the green building, there is a glass bridge between the two warehouse buildings. This is the connecting bridge of the Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway in the world. They have their own YT channel with many videos also with English subtitles, highly recommended. In northern Germany we say "Moin" it means hello but you can use it in all time. 7:10 Why is it so different? Well, because Germany is not just Bavaria. We have many different architectural styles. Many different eras. In the 16 federal states. In northern Germany, there is a mixture of Gothic brickwork and the colonial era in the buildings. In the countryside, there are more Gothic buildings, mostly churches. The farmhouses also, but they can also be partly half-timbered. 7:47 Some of the seagulls are so tame that they are not even afraid of people. The greyish birds are young seagulls. They will snatch your food out of your hand if you're not careful. 8:14 In theory, America was partly inspired by German architecture. Since their founders also named some cities in the USA after German cities. Bremen alone can be found 12 times in America. And many other cities too. 11:10 That's not entirely true. There are also Nordsee restaurants in Munich. You find there such fish food in bread too.
About your confusion concerning the family: The video you reacted on is a little bit older. At that time they only had their daughter Willa. Meanwhile they had to move to Japan and a short time before they left Germany they had a second Baby: A girl again. This is why you saw 2 children when looking at their newest pic of their channel. They have made a lot of very good videos while living in Germany, so you may watch some more. And yes, Northern Germany is very different from the South. When you are aware how old Europe is, then you will understand that back in the days the people had to use the resources nearby, and since the environment forms the people and what they build, the North is different from the Middle and from the South. Germany has a lot of faces, depending on the region. Most Americans cling to Bavarian stuff to describe Germany, but that is only a little percentage of the "German truth".
14:03 Back in the days less timber was used for buildings in the North because they usually don’t have these big old forests like we got them in Central or Southern Germany. (One of the reasons for that is that there are more fertile agricultural flatlands up north - and from antiquity on, the guys on the shores were using a lot the available wood for shipbuilding…)
I think the key differentiator is the topography, farming is difficult on steeper slopes, which means you leave that area forested. Accessing areas, transporting goods is also easier in flatter regions, which probably leads to the mountainous areas having a lower population density, even if only on a fairly local level, again meaning more forests. Another consequence of the topography is how much clay you have and how much natural stone. In the North, you have more of the former and much less of the latter. Which means a lot more brick buildings, and fewer natural stone buildings.
The German coasts on the North Sea and Baltic Sea are wonderful and on the way east are the old Hanseatic cities (Hanseatic League, 12th to 17th centuries).
German Woman here, 58 years old... Well, northern Germany is NOT just Hamburg! *sigh* There's sooo much more to see and discover - especially if you leave the big cities out of the equation and spend more time in the small towns and villages or on the islands... This way (filming a cute toddler or holding a fish sandwich up to the camera) does NOT give you an impression of northern Germany - too bad... // For fun I made a series of 5 videos myself, each giving a short overview of one of the 5 northern federal states, including some explanations about the special features of the respective region. For those interested, here is the link to part 1, Lower Saxony: ua-cam.com/video/iPhQCT5r94g/v-deo.htmlsi=oxLgrsEuH_NdSfdA (Unfortunately 2 or 3 pictures are blurred when uploading, I have no idea why... So if anyone watches it: please don't "tear me apart" in the comments - this was the very first video I made myself... 😆)
With a total of 2,500 bridges, Hamburg is the city with the most bridges in Europe, clearly overshadowing Venice, which has around 400 bridges and thus only ranks fifth in the ranking. Vienna and Amsterdam follow in second and third place in the list of European cities with the most bridges.
Many houses in Hamburg's inner city area were only built after 1842 (Hamburg fire 5-8 May between Deichstrasse/Nikolaifleet and today's Glockengiesserwall). The company I work for had its headquarters between Alsterfleet and Grosser Burstah near the town hall and the old stock exchange (now the Chamber of Commerce). However, as the risk of water ingress and immense renovation costs had been increasing for years, my company moved into a completely new building and gave up the old building (extended in 1956). It's also pretty annoying to have pest controllers on duty by "standing order" to keep the rats in check. At least that's what colleagues who often visited the basement areas told me. ;) By the way, there were/are also half-timbered houses from the 16th/17th century, which are listed as historical monuments = Gängeviertel.
2:09 The "smaller ones" - we call them "krabben" are _SO_ much more tasty!!! ;) 4:20 - heh - Hamburg is the best ..... it's where i was born and grew up... ;) 5:00 In north germany we say "moin" .. and in hamburg and it's metropolregion we say "tschüss" when leaving. ;) 7:20 In hamburg especially after the great fire 1942 a lot of buildings were build out of stone and brick.. Not just because some (and hamburg had a lot) merchants were rich, but because, well, the old wooden ones burned down.. Later on in world war II again a lot of buildings with outsides made of stone but wooden floors and interieurs burned down... But that's just some few aspects from hamburg specifically... Overall in northern germany you find more brick and mortar houses than timber framing houses... maybe because we have more storms than they have in the south german states. ;) 7:49 The street is called 'Jungfernstieg' , including the pier you shown before. ;) It has it's own history ;)
Big mountains vs. flat plains and ocean: of course northern Germany feels completely different. Montana and Alabama feel different too, I assume 🤔 Edit: the buildings are not that different, including tons of half timbered houses (more than in Bavaria). But they mostly showed warehouses near the Hamburg harbour. Of course Munich doesn't have those. If it had, they'd look exactly the same. They went to the Speicherstadt and thought they've seen northern Germany? Oh dear!
oh you are sooo wrong when it comes to the "little worms" no shrimp tastes as well as those little Nordsee-Krabben. And of course is there a big difference between the north to the south of Germany, we are not the same kind at all, we don't even share the same language in a way.
They have left Germany over a year ago for Singapore, I suppose. He was nice, but his wife was an "annoying customer", to put it mildly. When they moved to Germany, she was learning Spanish, not German. Make it make sense. They moved to a house in the countryside, instead of an apartment near his job. A house like theirs is 3 times the rent, of that of an apartment. It wasn't his choice to burn his hard earned money like this, and drive for hours to and back from work, I'm sure. She doesn't work and is a SAHM. On top of that she can't cook. Poor guy. Yeah, she is pretty, and their daughter is cute, but, hell no!
What a BS! Not a single word of what you say here is true. They moved to Japan, not to Singapore. And they are a great team in everything they do. I am watching their videos since they moved to Germany and I am still following them, believe me, I really know what I saw with my own eyes. I don't know why you hate them, but all you are doing here is trying to let them look bad...... Shame on you!

The small shrimps are much better than the bigger ones. The taste is more intense and naturally salty.

And that beach is about 2 kilometres wide, the widest beach on the German mainland.

In Hamburg you don´t say Hallo, you say Moin! 😀
No, you say "Moin moin"!

@ well, essentially, in either way: less timber available, and as a result, different distribution of particular types/styles of buildings.
The German coasts on the North Sea and Baltic Sea are wonderful and on the way east are the old Hanseatic cities (Hanseatic League, 12th to 17th centuries).

Hamburg hast more water and bridges as Venice!
the video is about north germany and the title picture is zadar croatia (sveti donat church). a littel bit confusing

Thanks man
Appreciate all the explanation
I’m sorry about the fire
during a lot of stretches of this video, where did all the sound disappear to ?

Why differentiated, history!
