I like ur video but it seemed at min 4:24 that u took an anti-gun position. Ur not anti-gun, right? LA has more murders thatn Berlin cuz its full of libtards
Hello 👋😎 I feel like i know you haha cause subscribed to you since you had under 10k 🍾 love Berlin had so much fun and i felt very safe, I live in NYC and its safe here too… so i have a question did you watch Dogs of Berlin? I loved it great show but seemed that criminal activities were exaggerated a bit , no? what is your opinion?
…. Thanks Merkel for all the cultural enrichment . We helped the people from a war zone now now it’s time to send them home and watch these places disappear .
As Russian I am totally offended by Kalashnikov stereotype. For Europe travel we use makarov or stechkin pistols. The only thing can make me feel not offended again is European citizenship.
I don’t think you know what humour is because as someone from Belgium I can tell you Belgium’s and Dutch people are always stereotyping each other and don’t give a sh*t because it’s funny so stop complaining
@@danilaorlov5401 actually it's vice versa, for instance Moscow and st Petersburg are the safest places in Russia. If we bearing in mind numbeo, Moscow is much safe as Berlin
Being from Brazil, those safety tips are just part of my life. I grew up with a lot of measures to prevent a lot of crimes. So Berlin is pretty safe to me. Funny story: when I first moved here I was warned to be careful at Alexanderplatz and I immediately assumed they meant armed robbery. When they told me it was basically pickpocketing I just laughed and said: if they don’t show me a gun that looks real they are not taking my stuff. 😁
I think he make a good video. Is acurrated compare Berlin with another European cities or even in north america....if he compared Berlin with any part from here in Latinoamérica Berlin would be like a sacred places with angels or something.... that's should have no sense
@@notyourproblem474 our country is one of the more safer in all LATAM we have just específic places where is danger...(i work in two villa 31 and the 11,14) and we have not Muslims with knives...every country has his own problems
I was born and lived in Juarez, Mexico, one of the most "dangerous cities"( so they say) , in the world , lived Texas and since 2017 been living in Germany. I have traveled to many countries including Asia. And I've never had anything stolen. BUT in Rome and Greece. Not to say these countries suck, because they don't. They are beautiful, I just never thought, someone would cowardly ransack my car as soon as I stepped out of it =/. So compared to the places I have been and the experiences I have obtained, Germany is super safe. Ich ♥ Deutschland and your Channel. Thanks Babe 😘!!!
Are you a women or a man . If I was a women I would not feel safe in Germany . ( I have a lot of Germany and Swedish friends and the guys grumble about the ghettoes and teen gangs but the women honestly tell me they don’t feel safe. One friend use to go running at night as part of her exercise in the evening . She has been doing it for 15 years . Well she does not do it anymore and in public would not say why because it would be politically incorrect but it’s obvious .
Is it really a good thing 🙄🤔 ? Many UA-camrs have sponsors because their videos are less monetized, and making a living with their work is getting harder and harder. Does this mean they'll have to adapt the contents of their videos too, as it's done in written medias, especially magazines 😰 ? It might be a good thing for Radical Living and his peers, but do you really want to watch the same ad as you rewatch their videos ? Not to mention the discount codes : will they work all the time, or will he have to re-record the same video, but with another ad ?
@@goldflo91 Noone rerecords videos after a sponsorship deal has ended. It's not worth the money as the majority of views is usually made within the first few days. I don't think anyone specifically changes his or her topics for a sponsor either. Some try to implement them better then others but your always able to skip it if you don't like it or have seen it already. Generally a sponsorship isn't that big of a deal either. For nordvpn I couldn't find it but often times bigger companies will have a kind of "friend invitation system" already in place where you can get money back if you advertise the link to others who inturn buy something. Amazon is probably the best known examples. Generally most don't start a UA-cam channel for the money anyway. They might end up making some eventually and if they do grow big enough they might be able to live off of it but considering his size I'd assume he's probably just trying to use the earnings to cut down on other jobs to have more time making videos right now. I haven't watched many videos of his yet though.
@@albertmarnell9976 🤷♀️ Perfection isn't the topic here, Mr Lecturer who isn't at the right position to do so 😉.

I was once on a class trip to berlin. We went to the memorium next to the brandenburg gates, where there is lots of square pillows which get higher the deeper you go in. I saw one guy who had a paperboard with pen and claimed he was asking people for donations for a charity which intends to help deaf people. He was talking with an old lady, who was willing to give him money and right at the moment where she pulled out her wallet I called "Don't do it, it's a scam!". Immediately right after I said this he became very aggressive and chased me, intending to hurt me, with his other friends. They were young adults, only male and arabic in appearance. I cannot believe that such nasty and violent scammers are literally in such an important historic sight...

Coming from Brazil, I felt pretty safe in Berlin. Nobody's gonna mess with you if you're more dangerous than them. 🤣
I kind of like Berlin's structured system. You can choose the best district according to what kind of criminals you want to meet. Pickpockets, shoplifters, muggers, vandals, arsonists, drugdealers, corrupt politicians, gangs, rapists, gangrapists. You name it, they have it. Berlin also holds the world record for most people getting murdered in a Christmas market.
@@arzuriakuroi5323 I prefer the pickpockets. They are always so nice and quiet and they can never do me much harm, since there is not much left in my pockets.
@@susannabonke8552 No? … I have actually stopped several assaults in my time on this planet and particularly disturbing attempted rape. I can’t imagine being a women and always having to ….

Living in Berlin for almost 10 years. Number of friends who got their bike stolen - 4 flat broken into - 3 phone or wallet stolen - 4 One of my girlfriends had her iPhone laying on the table in a cafe. A beggar lady casually put her bag on the table and snatched the phone unnoticed. Do not leave your phones on tables when going out or keep an eye on them!
Living in Berlin for almost 11 years. Number of friends who got their bike stolen - 1 flat broken into - 0 phone or wallet stolen - 1 (I don't have that many friends)
40 homicides and over 800 rapes??That is pretty bad, honestly. And also, you need to consider that these are recorded cases, the real numbers could be higher.
@@mystickal6342 I guess in some countries it's more likely than in others. Depends on attitudes of authorities, but imho, things definitely need to change. In Israel a woman can kill a guy for giving her a dirty look and she is absolved of any accusations(heard it from people who lived there). I read of women from Europe saying they felt safer there than in Western Europe. Is it any wonder that Poland wants out of the Union?
I was feeling morally superor, I did a search and in my city, there were roughly 18 violent crimes recorded in 2020. For a population of roughly 250000. Would be interesting to see statistics for Berlin,2020/2021, if the trend is on the rise or not.
@@jazzochannel ukrainian and russian are different languages just like dutch and german are. Russian is only commonly spoken / first language in eastern ukraine, and some parts of the south. In the west and central parts Ukrainian is the predominant first language with little exclaves of polish, or hungarian mixed inbetween.
I've grown up in Berlin and have witnessed several majorly traumatic events. When I was 16 out and about drinking with friends, we were approached by an aggressive gang(tried to deescalate from our side, they didn't care), who later chased us and stabbed one of our group. He was severely injured but made a recovery. A few years later I was celebrating new years with friends at Friedrichshain park, and we were stupid enough to stay until late at night, when we were the only people in sight. Another gang of 20 men (probably high on coke) must have heard us, came and immediately escalated the situation, beating up all guys from our group, fracturing teeth among other injuries. they also tried to mug us but we'd buried our valuables in the sand when we saw first signs of aggression. I, having witnessed a stabbing without provocation before, assumed they would again pull knives and kill my friends. I was completely convinced they'd leave my friends to bleed out and die. So, Berlin is definitely safer than many other places in the world, yet you DO need to be careful where you spend your time late at night, especially on holidays where more people are out drinking and high on drugs. I stopped traveling alone at night after the first incident. I don't really leave my district at night unless I'm with a friend or partner. edit: another story. a man once tried to sexually assault me at a construction site just off a very busy street, where I'd gone 10 seconds earlier to pee. He grabbed me by the wrist and wouldn't let me go, and didn't believe me when I said I had friends waiting for me. I eventually got past him (he was standing between me and the only exit in the construction fence) but he ran after me. When he saw my friends he weirdly smiled at them and walked off.
Ive been to Berlin 5 times as tourist for long weekends and never had a problem or seen any thing like a crime, but take Radical's advice and be careful and watch your stuff , as you should anywhere.
Exactly, you gotta be safe everywhere you go. I grew up in Canberra, and well there’s gangs, drug addicts, and sketchy people, places, and neighbourhoods everywhere. Do I still like the city? Of course, it’s my home, I’m not gonna stop loving my home.
Since the video is very optimistic and I had experience myself and with my friends, ill share it: I got assaulted physically and verbally this week on a bus full with people. I was at the last seat center seat of a bus going from Hermanplatz to Baumschulweg (M41), at 10:20 in night, the bus was 70% full, a guy fell on me and sat next in front side seat, he wasnt wearing a mask and was looking like he is a problem, i asked if he is fine and this came out to be my biggest mistake. That guy assaulted me verbally first before throwing punches on me and throwing my stuff, breaking my headphones and attempted to break my phone. I was in shock, he threw me out of my seat and people around started yelling at him too, i went of the bus and 2 people did try to talk to me and help. I went to police station (which was 50 meters from this incident), and made a complaint. The situation is so common in that area as I learnt from the police. To be honest I never thought that in a bus full of people it would happen. The guy wasn't looking shady from his appearance but apparently turned out to be a psycho. For me the learning was to never ever be emphatic with anyone who looks like he/she needs help, calling a cop is way better idea when u r in a safe spot. Eventually i respect that police was available and I had no issues in reporting the crime. But the toll on my mental health from this gave me deeper harm than the physical assault and damage to my belongings. Im happy to be alive because that person looked like he could pull of a knife from his pocket. I don't mean to scare anyone but it's important to know both sides of the coin, specially when it comes to violence crime.
@@rhino9005 Would you care if it wasn't? Let's be honest, you don't give a rat's ass about what happened to this person, you're just trying to reinforce the stereotypes you already have in your head. And it doesn't matter how many times you have to ask and get "no" as an answer, because you won't change your mind anyway, your skull is thick as concrete.
I lived in Berlin my whole life and I honestly hate it. But that's just because I don't like big cities. However, I am a woman and even as a minor I was harassed by strangers multiple times, which isn't fun. I would say that the U-Bahn is one of the most dangerous places (especially for women), but that's just personal experience. Everything else is mostly fine :)
It happens with Germans and with migrants. Doesn't matter. The incidents I had where two migrants and one German guy, but I have to say that the migrants didn't try to make me trip... So all I can say is that I don't trust men in the subway and I have anxiety whenever I have to travel with it (sometimes more, sometimes less)
@@cogitoergosum9129 Nee. Diese Art Belästigung gab es leider schon immer. Das war auch schon vor Jahrzehnten so. Als Frau passiert das wahrscheinlich jeder (solange man hübsch und jung ist).

When I lived in Rummelsburg somebody broke in while I was 3 days in Sweden. They left our bikes but took everything that fits in a small car. Kitchen knifes, laptops, box with electronics. Harddrive with work relates things on in worth of 80k.... Bad part is we didn't have backups outside of the apartment and they took everything. Good thing is thief got caught in a stolen car with Some of our stolen goods including the harddrive. He sits in prison for 5+ years now. Other crimes also could be tracked back to him.
I grew up in Istanbul. I found it funny that despite all the drug dealing and pickpocketing going in front of me, there was pretty much no violence going on. It's surreal how criminal yet safe Berlin is.
Buenos Aires is my no. 1 travel destination worldwide 😍 (mainly because of football, but also because of the history and specially architecture of the city) Realistically speaking, is Buenos Aires safe, if I may ask?
@@agv-vt8co it's certainly not super safe, but all in all it is not that bad. There are certain areas that I would avoid, like in most big cities, but the parts of the city where most tourists go are usually quite safe. However, I think something important to remember is that when in Rome do as the Romans do: there are certain precautions that you might not take where you live but you should in Buenos Aires, like not flashing expensive things on the street, not going for a walk at 4 am alone on an empty street or leaving things unsupervised cause they will not be there when you return lol.
Lived in Berlin for 2 yrs (1992-94), went out a lot at night w/ friends (i.e. Tresor). At first, was literally terrified to be on my own, even early evening, I’m a southern girl from Texas, but w/ time, realized no one really cared & everyone just minded their own business. Saw unaccompanied little old ladies taking the Ubahn at 9pm. Worst thing that ever happened was watching drunken teenagers getting sick at the bus stop & getting yelled at for crossing an empty street on foot late at night on red.
Heres the difference, there was no arab/african migrant crisis in the 1990s. There are over a million african/arab migrants in germany, so things are definetly unsafe now

☆Great video my "freund"☆ I was in the US Army stationed in Berlin 1989-91. As a Military Policeman (MP), I worked Checkpoint Charlie. During this time, crime was pretty low. Our attention was looking at the Russian and East German Soldiers. Always love watching your videos and of course subscribed. ☆ "Danke und Chus"☆
It’s funny to view videos like this, when you live in Rio de Janeiro, a place where thieves shoot you in the face just steal your phone, or make barricades on main roads, armed with war rifles, to rob dozens of drivers
The worst thing happening to me in Berlin was rats running over me at night, while i slept in some hippie Yurt Camp next to spree. Well i didn’t sleep anymore after the incident.
I'm from Russia and we all have metal doors in our flats here. We use the ones in the video only as doors between rooms in a flat. I have such a door in my room. Seriously, if you set such a door as an entance door, neighbours would think you went crazy.

Visited Berlin four times as a tourist, not a single crime witnessed or even a little scare to myself. Next tuesday i'm going again for four days and my hotel is EXACTLY at the hotspot in Schöneberg... we'll see. If you want some advice, i've travelled alone around Europe quite a bit and something that has always served me well is being very aware of my surroundings and SHOWING it. And if you take a picture take a quick look at everyone around you immediately after. Bad people will always target distracted and unaware people, don't be one of them. And FFS don't get any of your belongings unsupervised for a single second, no matter where you are.
I rented a bike in Berlin and spent the day riding from one end to the other and I couldn't find a "bad neighborhood" by my American standards. I've lived in New York, LA and Philadelphia and Berlin was a delight. Only incredibly sheltered people would think Berlin is dangerous.
This could be said the other way around as well. Only incredibly tone deaf to danger people would think Berlin is all safe. American standards only work for America
lived in Berlin for a few years. Mostly spend my time in Wedding, Neukölln and Friedrichshain. I always was told to be careful especially in those quarters but never felt uncomfortable even at night. The worst thing ever happening to me was that a local "park herbalist" ran away with a few bucks without giving out his product. And that's just such a classic tourist scam where you're almost to blame yourself if it happens to you. I sure do... Also, I a want to point out that the perception of danger by one also just might be freedom to yourself as no one bothers you while you're having a beer and casual hangout in the park, which in some conservative village might already be enough to have the cops be interested... Growing up in a rural, conservative area i personally found moving to bigger cities and especially those with "bad reputation" more safe and actually liberating...
I visited Berlin for the 1st time this year (Sept). I was at Kottbusser Tor twice and didn't think it was weird at all. But I live in Paris where most of the city is shady. No one would ever have a bike either. Thus our Vélib system.
I live in Berlin since 4 years and generally feel very safe and free, day & night! Of course it depends a bit which areas you're at.. As a girl I feel a bit less save in Neukölln or at Kottbusser Tor for example because I'm catcalled a lot. At night when I'm by myself I avoid parks and dark, lonely streets, but in case I always bring a pepperspray (which I never had to use). It happened once that I was followed by a guy in bright daylight after leaving a club, but luckily the bouncers stepped in. Another time I was followed at night at Ostkreuz station (could loose him easily, but if I hadn't I'd asked for help or called the police). Considering the 200+ times I've taken public transport or walk the streets by night I would still call Berlin very safe, but it can't hurt to be street wise, aware of your surroundings and your radar on for crazy people :-D
I have never been pickpocketed, but after having lived several years in different large cities, I have become very cautious about my belongings. If I sit in a bar/restaurant. I always have my hand bag in my lap/on me, would never leave a phone on a table or so. In the u bahn / on the city I keep the bag in front of me and immediately think my wallet will be stolen if i would by mistake have the bag zipper facing to my back 😁 . Even though I have not had anything stolen yet, I guess it will happen at some point and try to have my valuables in different places (different bank accounts, different banks, limits to withdrawals, leave one credit card at home when going out, store phone number to block credit cards / sim cards in different places....) The scariest thing happening to me in Germany (lived there 2 years) was some guys on a regional train in southern germany that attacked my Chinese-Canadian friend for being foreign. Fortunately he was an ex militar and got help from other guys in our group. The scary thing was that nobody in the carriage did anything and nobody left the get help from the staff. Everybody just ignored the situation 😯
It's not a Berlin train ride without some crazy person or drunk group of people shouting racist shit at you. Honestly I've gotten used to it, maybe the people in the train you were are used to it as well, that's why they didn't react. They just want a reaction from you because they know if it goes to the authorities they will be biased in their favor. It's sad but you just have to take it and never escalate to physical conflict (sometimes you can't avoid it as I assume happened to your friend).
When I was a student in Utrecht, The Netherlands, I had three bikes of me stolen. But never been pick-pocketed, even though I have visited Amsterdam from time to time. Although I wasn't around when they happened, in Utrecht the police were once blocking off a major road. I asked a police officer why, what happened? They informed me a shooting had just taken place (they were probably going to search the area for shell casings etc.). Walked through an Amsterdam neighbourhood that used to be rather notorious but the next week I read in the newspaper that someone had been shot on the same street that I walked the week before! Imagine if that had been me 😀
You oversimplified the organzised crime scene quite a bit. You do have the Vietnamese and Russian mob here, and a few biker gangs like Hells Angels or Bandidos who control some parts. Berlin has a basically still an east west divide when it comes to crime. In West Berlin you have Arabain, Turkish, Kurdish Clans and in the East you have other gangs.
Thanks for this clarification. I too felt it was oversimplified. Media usually choose to focus on "arab clans" instead of russian or vietnamese gangs, giving fuel to racists and anti-arab sentiment.
I visited Berlin two years ago, prior to covid. Its a nice city, however my Airbnb accommodation was in a very Turkish area. It looked run down and rough. Once outside though it was a very nice place. I had a tour of the Reichstag and other places. There was this huge bunker near checkpoint Charlie with around 80 rooms, full of different details on the Nazi era. Great place.
Worst things that happened to me in Berlin… once someone tried to rob my mobile phone and once someone tried to kidnap and rape me. Several tries to rape me can be left aside. Friends and people I knew got it worse. Some rapes which weren’t even reported because the amount of sentenced proofed rapists decreased and even if they got sentenced, the judgement was more like a joke. For this being several times re-traumatized? 1 guy got shot by someone who already threatened him before and when he reported the threatening the police, he didn’t get help. A few girls vanished and in one case they finally got the killer last year after almost 20 years. One girl got hanged by her brother-in-law and the police said it’s suicide until he also killed his wife. A woman I knew suddenly vanished and when this got reported the police they didn’t do anything for months. Then they found her chopped body pieces. She didn’t want to lend a friend 50€. A father of a friend got killed by a homeless man he knew when he offered him a warm place to sleep. I can list more, but what is most interesting to me is, that most victims are female. I don’t want to know what maybe didn’t even become part of the statistics.
That is true about most cities in Europe after dark. A lone female is an easy target, doesn't matter if it's Berlin or London, Paris or Amsterdam. Even in Japan, a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world, they have women-only metros to prevent sexual assault.
@@AudieHolland i wish, we would have women only metros in Berlin. In the 90s, we had women taxis which had a very discounted price (around 5 DM which is now almost 5 €), but they discontinued. In general, a lot of things which are not really paid attention to by society got worse for women here. Only things which are paid attention to got a bit better.
@@lme4339 Sadly, things will never change in my opinion. Even in Japan women are assaulted. As long as there are sexual predators lurking in the shadows, those shadowy places in all cities of the world are dangerous for women. In Dutch we have a saying: "De gelegenheid maakt de dief" or the opportunity creates the thief. Same can be said for rapists. Of course most men are not rapists (saying 'not all men are rapists' would mean 'but most are') but those men who wish to hurt women are usually indistinguishable from most men, untill the opportunity arises.
@@AudieHolland we have the same saying in German. 😂 But yes, you’re right. Nevertheless, are there ways to reduce rapists opportunities, but they are stopped in Germany and the judgements are also getting worse. There’s an awesome ARTE documentary about this problem.
@@lme4339 Thanks. I expect it will be depressing 😞 But I have never not watched anything for fear of what I would learn. How can we, the regular people, learn anything if we shy away from those subjects? You know, speaking of depressing subjects. Rape within the marriage used to be non-punishable in most countries during the 20th Century.
In 2017, I was walking down Curvystrabe near Gorlitzer park after going to an ATM, about 7pm when from 10 meters away, three men asked "Do you have any cigarettes", and I said quickly "I don't smoke", they sprinted towards me, and began their attempted mugging, I took a number of hits and one king hit to the chin. I'm 6ft 4, and managed to elbow one of them so hard in he head he fell off me and broke free of the other two and began sprinting for my life, they tried to out run me by taking different sides of the street but I burnt them off. I sprinted to some drug dealers, got a cab, returned to my hostel bleeding, and decided I wouldn't let that bother me and went to a Justice gig and spent two days in Katerblau it was great haha! Love Berlin and it is really rare to have an experience like that!
Compared to California your crime in Germany is more like getting a sneez from fairy dust or nasty looks from Unicorns or assaulted by an angry rainbow, my town in California is like a war zone by comparison.
Berlin is not that safe like 17 years ago. I was born and still living here, there are places which are dangerous and very messy af. But also places you can call peaceful like Dahlem, Kladow, Lankwitz, Köpenick etc. It always depends on where you go and what you want.
you basically just summed up affluent suburbs... Sure they are peaceful, because it's basically just guarded villas and gated communities. But also they are kind of dead...
So happy to find your channel! You made me laugh so many times🤣especially loved Ivan, brilliant Russian pronunciation, sparkling jokes! Thank you for making me so happy!!!♥
Im planning on coming to Berlin, becoming an international student (apply to some universities) and hopefully live there. From what i heard, great social programs, powerful economy with low cost of living compared to other European cities like Paris, London, Amsterdam etc (which is very helpful) and overall a safe place. Thanks on making this video dude and i love your accent.
Why Berlin? There are better German cities that are more beautiful and saver. And most of our public universities are good, so it's not as important where you go, as long as they offer the courses you're interested in.
I have not been robed in Germany, but in my home country of Romania: I had my house broken in to, 5 times in my car, 2 bikes stolen, 2 times mugged by the gypsies, and once assaulted in the tram. So yeah... there are worse places than Berlin, but an admirable effort from the capital of Germany! 👍
I’ve lived in Romania basically my whole life and never have I ever had stuff stolen. The only 2 bad experiences I had were once when I was chased by 2 teens (I was 14/15 back then tho lol) and another time when another teen wanted to get money from me. He didn’t get anything from me tho. Also, I’ve never had thieves in my apartments.
As someone working in Berlin authorities, I can’t agree with you. The numbers are not anything reassembling reality. For example: the numbers for “Tötungsdelikte” / homicide cases can’t be compared. It’s because Berlin counts almost every attempted homicide / murder as “Gefährliche Körperverletzung” / assault / bodily harm - as long as the victim doesn’t die. The argument is “Rücktritt vom Versuch” / resigning from the attempt: “He stabbed him just three times, why not until he was dead? He only shot him in the arm - so why didn’t he fire more shots until the victim was dead? He resigned from the attempt, so it’s no homicide. And we deal with cases like this daily. 40 cases per month would be more realistic, but still not close. It’s just a game of numbers, but if count this in consideration, Berlin is as safe as Detroit.
@@functhefucc5798 Mostly the latter, Berlin police and the department of public prosecution are seriously understaffed. But in general, the authorities here in Germany are not fit anymore for the time we live in and the way criminality has evolved. Not every problem could be entirely solved by easy answers. In my opinion, the German officials could use a big modernization to adapt for today’s issues, be faster, sleeker, more efficient and resourceful.
I'm so sad that I can't find any content creator like you. How you explain all the things in a very fascinating way is just amazing. Love❤ your videos very much.
Hey ! I lived for 4 years at Nollendorfplatz, the place where it is said in the video that there are a lot of smugglings. I never experienced or saw any smuggling :D Great video btw, I learned a lot of things ! I love your content, continue so
I lived in one of the apartment buildings at Kotbusser Tor for a little while. I never had any trouble. The main thing is don't look like a target. In Berlin that mostly means don't wear nice clothes, or brightly colored clothes. I did see several ladies of the night and purveyors of mind altering substances, but I don't consider those crimes so they didn't bother me. I lived on Rigaer Strasse too and the pubs there are filled with old lefties - very interesting conversations to be had there for sure.
I've had a glimpse of the human trafficking scene in Berlin, what you mentioned as Arab clans activities : running Brothels, I worked as a sex worker in Berlin by choice and that's how I got connected to that world, of course I left it directly and never looked back
Berlin is certainly safer than Chicago. Here, for several weekends in summer, we have 60-70+ shootings per weekend, and we also have hundreds of carjacking and random shootings on Dan Ryan (a part of I-90/94 traveling through the South Side of Chicago) this year alone.
The unfortunate reality of Chicago is its history of hypersegregation leading to many being cut off from opportunities, lax gun laws on a federal level, and firearms - legal and illegal - being funneled en mass from neighboring states like Indiana with even fewer restrictions. It's a false equivalence without all of the details. This is unheard of in Berlin and Germany (and other European countries) due to this that I timestamped from Mr. Radical Living ua-cam.com/video/LH4YDJGYBQs/v-deo.html
Lol yeah but that’s like comparing India and Saudi’s Arabia’ In the matter of women’s rights . I can compare anything to one of the worst equivalent and look good in comparison .
I definetely saw drug dealers, mentally deranged people, pickpocketers, and shady dudes trying to talk to me and make me follow them in Berlin. But nothing bad ever happened while I was in Berlin.
9:29 How lovely. I work as an insurance broker in Brazil and in my city there is around 3 cars stolen per day and the insurance companies go nuts complaining how this number is too high. While, according to your number, its 12 cars per day in Berlin (4399/365) I don't know where you take 90/day.
Your videos are always so informative and entertaining, thank you for making them! I’ll be moving to Berlin soon and this video answered most of my questions ☺️
Lived in Berlin for 2.5 years, I've never felt unsafe anywhere I go, I can walk around late at night bymyself and need to worry about nothing Berlin is amazing
Remember when I came to Berlin in 2014. We had a ride from Rotterdam. So, we dropped off at Warsauerplatz (I think it's called like that). 3 seconds after my boots touched the ground I heard:" marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy?" I knew I'm at the right place.
8 arab clans.... I find it hilarious/sad at the same time. How about equality there: there should be at least one russian and maybe one vietnamese one to balance it all out :D
these are there, too. though the russian mafia is concentrated differently, more on the eastern outskirts and satellite cities of berlin. and the vietnamese and thai mostly dabble in traficking their own people to germany to work and launder money. They come and live here as voluntary slaves, sort of. they get to retain enough money that the children can go to school (and hopefully have a better future outside of crime) but never as much as if they would work normal jobs around here. See nail salons for example.
They have those arab-lead criminal clans (gangs), and then allow hundreds of thousands (millions?) MORE arabs into the country...arabs used to treating women like slaves, and a belief that they are a superior culture and will do and take as they please. It makes no sense to me. NATO could've created safe-zones in their home countries if they really wanted to prevent them from being harmed...by their own people.
Had two break ins at my place in the last 3 years. First time they stole my notebook in the night while I was sleeping. Found it a few weeks later on eBay Kleinanzeigen and got it back with the police.
I was only once in Berlin in 2019, I loved it! And I went to Kottbusser Tor (as I was going to Schneiders Laden), I noticed the shady vibes but didn´t see or didn´t happened nothing to me or my friend! We even walk around the place, through Kottbusser Str. to the Hard Wax record store and came back again to the U-Bahn station... I have great memories of Berlin!
That gold coin was on loan from a private collector, so the museum must've had to pay back the value of the coin to that person. Frankly, it was ridiculous to have a modern coin from 2007 in a museum that is supposed to be collecting items of historical value and items of expert artistic craftsmanship. Now it's a financial burden for nothing.
@F. A. What favelas? Im from a midsize countrysize town with no slums. And thats not even the point, of course there is crime and whatever here but on of the main factors of violence here is the police.
Hate to burst your bubble. Those 8 Arab clans, you know, the small army of 10 000, they all have guns. Go ask them how difficult it was for them to get it. I will buy you a Paulaner for everyone that got their gun the way you would have to. Those gun laws you speak of, they are for you. Not the criminals.
Visited Berlin in 2018 solo, felt pretty safe and I did go to some of the night life…that said be careful as pick pocketing is huge, even the hotel I stayed told me to be careful and it was 4 star hotel. And every other uber I got was very sketchy driver, from ignoring all the street signs to speeding to offering to get me substances (lol), so take regular taxi as my German friends recommended is safer and not that much more expensive. Just my two cents, but definitely visit Berlin its an awesome city.
Having seen Turkey, Ukraine and France, generally Berlin didn't look creepy. I spent 4 days in Berlin, and on my second day i was mugged and robbed by two pakistanis right behind the east side gallery, one of them stood really close to me and made a gesture like he's pulling out the knife, swearing to god that he will kill me, no one intervened:) Although it probably was a bluffing, it was kinda hard to risk my health for 100 fucking bucks. I didn't go to police, because i had not so much time, plus spending all night with police would likely lead to nothing. So noteworthy to say, that many cases go unreported. It was the first time i got robbed. I was a bit shocked it happened in a very crowded place. Currently i live in Poland and it's super safe here, thank god Poland did not let in african and middle eastern refugees.
I love how you never shy away from the fact, even when Germany is pretty safe( one of the safest in the world.) I live in a small town of NRW. Nowhere else in the whole world I would feel safer.
We compare Berlin not to a Ghetto or Favela in the third world or the US, but to the rest of the country. So of course there are more criminals than in many other areas of the country.
I lived in Berlin for 5 years and experienced a mugging with a physical damage, and an identity theft. Never had any other criminal encounter anywhere else I lived.
I had a brawl breakout in front of me on the u-bahn a few years ago. It was between 5 palestian guys and 4 or 5 German soccer hooligans. One of them started spraying pepperspray right in front of me, which was a new experience, suddenly not being able to breathe, haha.. it was an odd thing to see one person after another start chocking as the pepperspray drifted down the carriage!! People were quite freaked out until they knew what it was!
I live in berlin and I don't feel safe in my district (got louder and dangerous by the last 5 years) but I can't find an alternative appartment for the same price. So thats the issue😂
Ik this is a somewhat old video, but when i arrived in Berlin as a tourist for the first time, i was suprised how people drive in the streets, some people have no respect for Red and green light, this one dude ignored the light being red and people were crossing, but he just kept driving and almost took me and my parents down

Being from Brazil, those safety tips are just part of my life. I grew up with a lot of measures to prevent a lot of crimes. So Berlin is pretty safe to me. Funny story: when I first moved here I was warned to be careful at Alexanderplatz and I immediately assumed they meant armed robbery. When they told me it was basically pickpocketing I just laughed and said: if they don’t show me a gun that looks real they are not taking my stuff. 😁
Brazil is hella dangerous, I lived in the middle of Morocco for a while and it is nowhere near as dangerous as Brazil.
Lol that's so true. I'm from Argentina, and it's kinda cute when Europeans talk about "dangerous cities".
Also from Brazil here, every time European says something is dangerous I think it's pretty cute

Finally, Mr Living got his own sponsorship ad.
100k I guess!
Is it really a good thing 🙄🤔 ?
Many UA-camrs have sponsors because their videos are less monetized, and making a living with their work is getting harder and harder. Does this mean they'll have to adapt the contents of their videos too, as it's done in written medias, especially magazines 😰 ?
It might be a good thing for Radical Living and his peers, but do you really want to watch the same ad as you rewatch their videos ? Not to mention the discount codes : will they work all the time, or will he have to re-record the same video, but with another ad ?
@@goldflo91 Noone rerecords videos after a sponsorship deal has ended. It's not worth the money as the majority of views is usually made within the first few days. I don't think anyone specifically changes his or her topics for a sponsor either. Some try to implement them better then others but your always able to skip it if you don't like it or have seen it already. Generally a sponsorship isn't that big of a deal either. For nordvpn I couldn't find it but often times bigger companies will have a kind of "friend invitation system" already in place where you can get money back if you advertise the link to others who inturn buy something. Amazon is probably the best known examples.
Generally most don't start a UA-cam channel for the money anyway. They might end up making some eventually and if they do grow big enough they might be able to live off of it but considering his size I'd assume he's probably just trying to use the earnings to cut down on other jobs to have more time making videos right now. I haven't watched many videos of his yet though.
@@albertmarnell9976 🤷♀️
Perfection isn't the topic here, Mr Lecturer who isn't at the right position to do so 😉.

I was once on a class trip to berlin. We went to the memorium next to the brandenburg gates, where there is lots of square pillows which get higher the deeper you go in. I saw one guy who had a paperboard with pen and claimed he was asking people for donations for a charity which intends to help deaf people. He was talking with an old lady, who was willing to give him money and right at the moment where she pulled out her wallet I called "Don't do it, it's a scam!". Immediately right after I said this he became very aggressive and chased me, intending to hurt me, with his other friends. They were young adults, only male and arabic in appearance. I cannot believe that such nasty and violent scammers are literally in such an important historic sight...

Coming from Brazil, I felt pretty safe in Berlin. Nobody's gonna mess with you if you're more dangerous than them. 🤣
I kind of like Berlin's structured system. You can choose the best district according to what kind of criminals you want to meet. Pickpockets, shoplifters, muggers, vandals, arsonists, drugdealers, corrupt politicians, gangs, rapists, gangrapists. You name it, they have it.
Berlin also holds the world record for most people getting murdered in a Christmas market.
Very DARK humour. I laughed nontheless.

Go out at night and maybe you will .
Statistically crime is up . Sexual assault is way up .

Number of Actual Rapes that are not Recorded with police due to shame or Terror is always higher than official figures.
@@mystickal6342 I guess in some countries it's more likely than in others. Depends on attitudes of authorities, but imho, things definitely need to change. In Israel a woman can kill a guy for giving her a dirty look and she is absolved of any accusations(heard it from people who lived there). I read of women from Europe saying they felt safer there than in Western Europe. Is it any wonder that Poland wants out of the Union?
I was feeling morally superor, I did a search and in my city, there were roughly 18 violent crimes recorded in 2020. For a population of roughly 250000. Would be interesting to see statistics for Berlin,2020/2021, if the trend is on the rise or not.

I've grown up in Berlin and have witnessed several majorly traumatic events.
When I was 16 out and about drinking with friends, we were approached by an aggressive gang(tried to deescalate from our side, they didn't care), who later chased us and stabbed one of our group. He was severely injured but made a recovery.
A few years later I was celebrating new years with friends at Friedrichshain park, and we were stupid enough to stay until late at night, when we were the only people in sight. Another gang of 20 men (probably high on coke) must have heard us, came and immediately escalated the situation, beating up all guys from our group, fracturing teeth among other injuries. they also tried to mug us but we'd buried our valuables in the sand when we saw first signs of aggression.
I, having witnessed a stabbing without provocation before, assumed they would again pull knives and kill my friends. I was completely convinced they'd leave my friends to bleed out and die.
So, Berlin is definitely safer than many other places in the world, yet you DO need to be careful where you spend your time late at night, especially on holidays where more people are out drinking and high on drugs. I stopped traveling alone at night after the first incident. I don't really leave my district at night unless I'm with a friend or partner.
edit: another story. a man once tried to sexually assault me at a construction site just off a very busy street, where I'd gone 10 seconds earlier to pee. He grabbed me by the wrist and wouldn't let me go, and didn't believe me when I said I had friends waiting for me. I eventually got past him (he was standing between me and the only exit in the construction fence) but he ran after me. When he saw my friends he weirdly smiled at them and walked off.
@@sm3675 no not gypsies.
Seems to me to become very good in self defense is a necessity especially for a woman.

Please no racism in my replies. Thanks. G***ie is a slur.
@@wxyzmarkus6834 im a person of color but can honestly say some groups really do make things worse,
Ive been to Berlin 5 times as tourist for long weekends and never had a problem or seen any thing like a crime, but take Radical's advice and be careful and watch your stuff , as you should anywhere.
Exactly, you gotta be safe everywhere you go. I grew up in Canberra, and well there’s gangs, drug addicts, and sketchy people, places, and neighbourhoods everywhere. Do I still like the city? Of course, it’s my home, I’m not gonna stop loving my home.
Since the video is very optimistic and I had experience myself and with my friends, ill share it: I got assaulted physically and verbally this week on a bus full with people. I was at the last seat center seat of a bus going from Hermanplatz to Baumschulweg (M41), at 10:20 in night, the bus was 70% full, a guy fell on me and sat next in front side seat, he wasnt wearing a mask and was looking like he is a problem, i asked if he is fine and this came out to be my biggest mistake. That guy assaulted me verbally first before throwing punches on me and throwing my stuff, breaking my headphones and attempted to break my phone. I was in shock, he threw me out of my seat and people around started yelling at him too, i went of the bus and 2 people did try to talk to me and help. I went to police station (which was 50 meters from this incident), and made a complaint. The situation is so common in that area as I learnt from the police. To be honest I never thought that in a bus full of people it would happen. The guy wasn't looking shady from his appearance but apparently turned out to be a psycho. For me the learning was to never ever be emphatic with anyone who looks like he/she needs help, calling a cop is way better idea when u r in a safe spot. Eventually i respect that police was available and I had no issues in reporting the crime. But the toll on my mental health from this gave me deeper harm than the physical assault and damage to my belongings. Im happy to be alive because that person looked like he could pull of a knife from his pocket. I don't mean to scare anyone but it's important to know both sides of the coin, specially when it comes to violence crime.
Don't forget the there were others who tried to help you!?
Maybe he was a Neonazi?
@@rhino9005 Would you care if it wasn't? Let's be honest, you don't give a rat's ass about what happened to this person, you're just trying to reinforce the stereotypes you already have in your head. And it doesn't matter how many times you have to ask and get "no" as an answer, because you won't change your mind anyway, your skull is thick as concrete.
Like in NYC, just totally ignore everyone who might be off or begging or trying to get a "donation" or sign some petition. Do not engage ever.
I lived in Berlin my whole life and I honestly hate it. But that's just because I don't like big cities. However, I am a woman and even as a minor I was harassed by strangers multiple times, which isn't fun.

@@agv-vt8co it's certainly not super safe, but all in all it is not that bad. There are certain areas that I would avoid, like in most big cities, but the parts of the city where most tourists go are usually quite safe. However, I think something important to remember is that when in Rome do as the Romans do: there are certain precautions that you might not take where you live but you should in Buenos Aires, like not flashing expensive things on the street, not going for a walk at 4 am alone on an empty street or leaving things unsupervised cause they will not be there when you return lol.
Lived in Berlin for 2 yrs (1992-94), went out a lot at night w/ friends (i.e. Tresor). At first, was literally terrified to be on my own, even early evening, I’m a southern girl from Texas, but w/ time, realized no one really cared & everyone just minded their own business. Saw unaccompanied little old ladies taking the Ubahn at 9pm. Worst thing that ever happened was watching drunken teenagers getting sick at the bus stop & getting yelled at for crossing an empty street on foot late at night on red.
Heres the difference, there was no arab/african migrant crisis in the 1990s. There are over a million african/arab migrants in germany, so things are definetly unsafe now

It’s funny to view videos like this, when you live in Rio de Janeiro, a place where thieves shoot you in the face just steal your phone, or make barricades on main roads, armed with war rifles, to rob dozens of drivers
The worst thing happening to me in Berlin was rats running over me at night, while i slept in some hippie Yurt Camp next to spree. Well i didn’t sleep anymore after the incident.

Во всех многоквартирных домах, в которых я жила было три входные двери. Одна в тамбур, а другие две прямо друг за другом на входе в квартиру (железная и деревянная.) И это в спальном районе Новосибирска.
Its weird that you have such doors in Berlin as entrance doors, where as in most of other Germany you have proper doors :D
Even those get robbed
@@madamemiu20577 "All the apartment buildings in which I lived had three entrance doors. One is in the vestibule, and the other two are right next to each other at the entrance to the apartment (iron and wooden.) And this is in a residential area of Novosibirsk."
I kinda miss my home country of Germany a bit by watching this🥰. Saluti da Roma (not been robbed or anything here, ... yet🤞🏼) Keep up the good work, this channel is a national treasure✨
In Russia there is only one no-go area, but it's 17kk square kilometers.
Это площадь страны?))
Visited Berlin four times as a tourist, not a single crime witnessed or even a little scare to myself. Next tuesday i'm going again for four days and my hotel is EXACTLY at the hotspot in Schöneberg... we'll see.
If you want some advice, i've travelled alone around Europe quite a bit and something that has always served me well is being very aware of my surroundings and SHOWING it. And if you take a picture take a quick look at everyone around you immediately after. Bad people will always target distracted and unaware people, don't be one of them. And FFS don't get any of your belongings unsupervised for a single second, no matter where you are.
I rented a bike in Berlin and spent the day riding from one end to the other and I couldn't find a "bad neighborhood" by my American standards. I've lived in New York, LA and Philadelphia and Berlin was a delight. Only incredibly sheltered people would think Berlin is dangerous.
Germans
@@AudieHolland or Viennese 😂
This could be said the other way around as well.
Only incredibly tone deaf to danger people would think Berlin is all safe. American standards only work for America
@@lightup6751 Actually no it can't work the other way. Berlin is objectively safe, you're probably just a coward.
@@AudieHolland Nope. It's the same in other cities outside of Germany as well.
lived in Berlin for a few years. Mostly spend my time in Wedding, Neukölln and Friedrichshain. I always was told to be careful especially in those quarters but never felt uncomfortable even at night. The worst thing ever happening to me was that a local "park herbalist" ran away with a few bucks without giving out his product. And that's just such a classic tourist scam where you're almost to blame yourself if it happens to you. I sure do... Also, I a want to point out that the perception of danger by one also just might be freedom to yourself as no one bothers you while you're having a beer and casual hangout in the park, which in some conservative village might already be enough to have the cops be interested...
Growing up in a rural, conservative area i personally found moving to bigger cities and especially those with "bad reputation" more safe and actually liberating...
The king is back 🙌😎
Radical how tall are you? Is it true that an average German man is 185cm
180^^ and yes that's probably true
@@RadicalLiving Zwerg ;)
@@RadicalLiving I love tall men ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was in Berlin in September 2021 and wondered how many tall men were there 😄 as a tall woman I can say that it was a pleasure for my eyes 😌😁
I'm 192 💪Germanyyyyy 😁
Hmmm 🤔 never thought a video on crime statistics in Berlin will be so entertaining and even unwinding to watch. Watched it before bedtime. 👌💚
I visited Berlin for the 1st time this year (Sept). I was at Kottbusser Tor twice and didn't think it was weird at all. But I live in Paris where most of the city is shady. No one would ever have a bike either. Thus our Vélib system.
Radical Living: You have to know that in Germany, it's pretty hard to get your hands on a gun.
Americans: Sorry, didn't understand your english...
I remember riding a bike along Görlitzer Park once - that was a bit scary with everyone trying to sell you drugs.
I live in Berlin since 4 years and generally feel very safe and free, day & night! Of course it depends a bit which areas you're at.. As a girl I feel a bit less save in Neukölln or at Kottbusser Tor for example because I'm catcalled a lot.
At night when I'm by myself I avoid parks and dark, lonely streets, but in case I always bring a pepperspray (which I never had to use). It happened once that I was followed by a guy in bright daylight after leaving a club, but luckily the bouncers stepped in. Another time I was followed at night at Ostkreuz station (could loose him easily, but if I hadn't I'd asked for help or called the police).
Considering the 200+ times I've taken public transport or walk the streets by night I would still call Berlin very safe, but it can't hurt to be street wise, aware of your surroundings and your radar on for crazy people :-D
Wow, I live in Munich and Berlin is actually worse than what I imagined. Did the Arabian clans take out the Italian and Russian mafia?
When people tell me Berlin isn't safe I just say: "Bitch, I'm from Colombia" 😂
jajajaja
For real jajajaaja
"Ivan" is a real addition to your regular video posts. Please keep giving him commentary roles . . .
I really should^^
I was in berlin 20 years ago and just last month, always felt very safe there, good vibes.
I have never been pickpocketed, but after having lived several years in different large cities, I have become very cautious about my belongings. If I sit in a bar/restaurant. I always have my hand bag in my lap/on me, would never leave a phone on a table or so. In the u bahn / on the city I keep the bag in front of me and immediately think my wallet will be stolen if i would by mistake have the bag zipper facing to my back 😁 . Even though I have not had anything stolen yet, I guess it will happen at some point and try to have my valuables in different places (different bank accounts, different banks, limits to withdrawals, leave one credit card at home when going out, store phone number to block credit cards / sim cards in different places....)
The scariest thing happening to me in Germany (lived there 2 years) was some guys on a regional train in southern germany that attacked my Chinese-Canadian friend for being foreign. Fortunately he was an ex militar and got help from other guys in our group. The scary thing was that nobody in the carriage did anything and nobody left the get help from the staff. Everybody just ignored the situation 😯
It's not a Berlin train ride without some crazy person or drunk group of people shouting racist shit at you. Honestly I've gotten used to it, maybe the people in the train you were are used to it as well, that's why they didn't react. They just want a reaction from you because they know if it goes to the authorities they will be biased in their favor. It's sad but you just have to take it and never escalate to physical conflict (sometimes you can't avoid it as I assume happened to your friend).
@@jorgeeduardodussanvillanue46 Didn't realize these things happen so often, so sad 🙁.
When I was a student in Utrecht, The Netherlands, I had three bikes of me stolen.
But never been pick-pocketed, even though I have visited Amsterdam from time to time.
Although I wasn't around when they happened, in Utrecht the police were once blocking off a major road. I asked a police officer why, what happened? They informed me a shooting had just taken place (they were probably going to search the area for shell casings etc.).
Walked through an Amsterdam neighbourhood that used to be rather notorious but the next week I read in the newspaper that someone had been shot on the same street that I walked the week before! Imagine if that had been me 😀
You oversimplified the organzised crime scene quite a bit. You do have the Vietnamese and Russian mob here, and a few biker gangs like Hells Angels or Bandidos who control some parts. Berlin has a basically still an east west divide when it comes to crime. In West Berlin you have Arabain, Turkish, Kurdish Clans and in the East you have other gangs.
Thanks for this clarification. I too felt it was oversimplified. Media usually choose to focus on "arab clans" instead of russian or vietnamese gangs, giving fuel to racists and anti-arab sentiment.
Is there Italian Mafia in Berlin?
@@TheFren not as a major player. Maybe some money laundering but they are mostly in West and South Germany.
What Russian mafia? By “Russian” mafia you guys called something what many Russians don’t understand.
@@kael9664
I've noticed this too
"I don't feel safe in this city any more". A. Hitler, Berlin, 1945
I visited Berlin two years ago, prior to covid. Its a nice city, however my Airbnb accommodation was in a very Turkish area. It looked run down and rough. Once outside though it was a very nice place. I had a tour of the Reichstag and other places. There was this huge bunker near checkpoint Charlie with around 80 rooms, full of different details on the Nazi era. Great place.
80 rooms full of Nazi details. Great place.
Ahahah
Ok, just kidding)
Worst things that happened to me in Berlin… once someone tried to rob my mobile phone and once someone tried to kidnap and rape me. Several tries to rape me can be left aside.
Friends and people I knew got it worse. Some rapes which weren’t even reported because the amount of sentenced proofed rapists decreased and even if they got sentenced, the judgement was more like a joke. For this being several times re-traumatized?
1 guy got shot by someone who already threatened him before and when he reported the threatening the police, he didn’t get help. A few girls vanished and in one case they finally got the killer last year after almost 20 years. One girl got hanged by her brother-in-law and the police said it’s suicide until he also killed his wife. A woman I knew suddenly vanished and when this got reported the police they didn’t do anything for months. Then they found her chopped body pieces. She didn’t want to lend a friend 50€.
A father of a friend got killed by a homeless man he knew when he offered him a warm place to sleep.
I can list more, but what is most interesting to me is, that most victims are female. I don’t want to know what maybe didn’t even become part of the statistics.
That is true about most cities in Europe after dark.
A lone female is an easy target, doesn't matter if it's Berlin or London, Paris or Amsterdam.
Even in Japan, a country with one of the lowest crime rates in the world, they have women-only metros to prevent sexual assault.
@@AudieHolland i wish, we would have women only metros in Berlin. In the 90s, we had women taxis which had a very discounted price (around 5 DM which is now almost 5 €), but they discontinued. In general, a lot of things which are not really paid attention to by society got worse for women here. Only things which are paid attention to got a bit better.
@@lme4339 Sadly, things will never change in my opinion. Even in Japan women are assaulted.
As long as there are sexual predators lurking in the shadows, those shadowy places in all cities of the world are dangerous for women.
In Dutch we have a saying: "De gelegenheid maakt de dief" or the opportunity creates the thief.
Same can be said for rapists. Of course most men are not rapists (saying 'not all men are rapists' would mean 'but most are')
but those men who wish to hurt women are usually indistinguishable from most men, untill the opportunity arises.
@@AudieHolland we have the same saying in German. 😂
But yes, you’re right. Nevertheless, are there ways to reduce rapists opportunities, but they are stopped in Germany and the judgements are also getting worse. There’s an awesome ARTE documentary about this problem.
@@lme4339 Thanks. I expect it will be depressing 😞
But I have never not watched anything for fear of what I would learn.
How can we, the regular people, learn anything if we shy away from those subjects?
You know, speaking of depressing subjects.
Rape within the marriage used to be non-punishable in most countries during the 20th Century.
In 2017, I was walking down Curvystrabe near Gorlitzer park after going to an ATM, about 7pm when from 10 meters away, three men asked "Do you have any cigarettes", and I said quickly "I don't smoke", they sprinted towards me, and began their attempted mugging, I took a number of hits and one king hit to the chin. I'm 6ft 4, and managed to elbow one of them so hard in he head he fell off me and broke free of the other two and began sprinting for my life, they tried to out run me by taking different sides of the street but I burnt them off. I sprinted to some drug dealers, got a cab, returned to my hostel bleeding, and decided I wouldn't let that bother me and went to a Justice gig and spent two days in Katerblau it was great haha! Love Berlin and it is really rare to have an experience like that!
Compared to California your crime in Germany is more like getting a sneez from fairy dust or nasty looks from Unicorns or assaulted by an angry rainbow, my town in California is like a war zone by comparison.
Berlin is not that safe like 17 years ago. I was born and still living here, there are places which are dangerous and very messy af. But also places you can call peaceful like Dahlem, Kladow, Lankwitz, Köpenick etc. It always depends on where you go and what you want.
you basically just summed up affluent suburbs... Sure they are peaceful, because it's basically just guarded villas and gated communities. But also they are kind of dead...
@@uliuchu4318 yeah right. Let’s get raped by some „traumatized“ refugees but at least there was a club in the same street.
I moved here a few months ago, I feel way safer walking around at night here then most cities I’ve been in.
I really wanted this video!! Thanks! Keep up with the great content about Berlin!
Thanks, will do!
P.S. Would love to see more content like that BUT WITH YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE STORIES or something like that
I have to say that my bike was stolen in München, and 4 months later the Polizei found it. Yeap I know I am a lucky guy.
Some two years ago, the police found a stock of thousands of stolen bikes close to Hamburg that were stored there to be shipped outside the country.
So happy to find your channel! You made me laugh so many times🤣especially loved Ivan, brilliant Russian pronunciation, sparkling jokes! Thank you for making me so happy!!!♥
You're welcome 😸 Glad to have you here!
Im planning on coming to Berlin, becoming an international student (apply to some universities) and hopefully live there. From what i heard, great social programs, powerful economy with low cost of living compared to other European cities like Paris, London, Amsterdam etc (which is very helpful) and overall a safe place. Thanks on making this video dude and i love your accent.
Why Berlin? There are better German cities that are more beautiful and saver. And most of our public universities are good, so it's not as important where you go, as long as they offer the courses you're interested in.
@@solar0wind Oh shit I forgot I made this comment
But now, I've learned how Berlin really is and, Im planning on moving to another German city
@@obrandondonaldson1208 Which city would you recommend for international student?
@@nadirwadsariya981 Uhh, I'd say Saxony (in germany)
If you can afford it way more, try Copenhagen (in Denmark) or Stockholm (in Sweden)
Finally I've got a full list of where to go and what to do in Berlin. Spasibo!
Have fun!
I have not been robed in Germany, but in my home country of Romania: I had my house broken in to, 5 times in my car, 2 bikes stolen, 2 times mugged by the gypsies, and once assaulted in the tram. So yeah... there are worse places than Berlin, but an admirable effort from the capital of Germany! 👍
0:56 --> Romania was ranked higher than germany on the Peace Index thingy hahah
I’ve lived in Romania basically my whole life and never have I ever had stuff stolen. The only 2 bad experiences I had were once when I was chased by 2 teens (I was 14/15 back then tho lol) and another time when another teen wanted to get money from me. He didn’t get anything from me tho. Also, I’ve never had thieves in my apartments.
@@MrAlexdoro Heck some of our big cities are at the top of safety indexes in Europe.
I live in Colentina, near Europa, and it happened when the thing was still there, now it seems safer, so maybe is that specific area to blame.
Dubai is safest I have seen so far. Germany become Muslim. Dubai becoming non Muslim.. nothing racist. Honestly reviewing.
As someone working in Berlin authorities, I can’t agree with you. The numbers are not anything reassembling reality. For example: the numbers for “Tötungsdelikte” / homicide cases can’t be compared. It’s because Berlin counts almost every attempted homicide / murder as “Gefährliche Körperverletzung” / assault / bodily harm - as long as the victim doesn’t die. The argument is “Rücktritt vom Versuch” / resigning from the attempt: “He stabbed him just three times, why not until he was dead? He only shot him in the arm - so why didn’t he fire more shots until the victim was dead? He resigned from the attempt, so it’s no homicide. And we deal with cases like this daily. 40 cases per month would be more realistic, but still not close. It’s just a game of numbers, but if count this in consideration, Berlin is as safe as Detroit.
What is the solution, or what do you think is the main problem? Is it just that the government is understaffed?
@@functhefucc5798 Mostly the latter, Berlin police and the department of public prosecution are seriously understaffed. But in general, the authorities here in Germany are not fit anymore for the time we live in and the way criminality has evolved. Not every problem could be entirely solved by easy answers. In my opinion, the German officials could use a big modernization to adapt for today’s issues, be faster, sleeker, more efficient and resourceful.
I am from Australia, I’ve lived in Dublin, Prague & Oslo.
I felt very safe walking around Berlin late at night. It’s not a dangerous place.
I'm so sad that I can't find any content creator like you. How you explain all the things in a very fascinating way is just amazing. Love❤ your videos very much.
Thanks!☺️ Much appreciated!
Hey !
I lived for 4 years at Nollendorfplatz, the place where it is said in the video that there are a lot of smugglings. I never experienced or saw any smuggling :D
Great video btw, I learned a lot of things ! I love your content, continue so
I lived in one of the apartment buildings at Kotbusser Tor for a little while. I never had any trouble. The main thing is don't look like a target. In Berlin that mostly means don't wear nice clothes, or brightly colored clothes. I did see several ladies of the night and purveyors of mind altering substances, but I don't consider those crimes so they didn't bother me. I lived on Rigaer Strasse too and the pubs there are filled with old lefties - very interesting conversations to be had there for sure.
I am from Poland and I just visited Berlin and I have never ever felt in danger more. Poland is so much safer
😂
try to visit Warsaw during some football match 😀
He's right. It's a common knowledge that most criminals have left Poland for Germany in search of a better life. With exception of government sadly..
There was no Car theft before you entered.
@@jaceq9excellent comment !
I've had a glimpse of the human trafficking scene in Berlin, what you mentioned as Arab clans activities : running Brothels, I worked as a sex worker in Berlin by choice and that's how I got connected to that world, of course I left it directly and never looked back
My man's getting paid sponsorship :')
Glad to be here since so long. Lesss goooooooii
Berlin is certainly safer than Chicago. Here, for several weekends in summer, we have 60-70+ shootings per weekend, and we also have hundreds of carjacking and random shootings on Dan Ryan (a part of I-90/94 traveling through the South Side of Chicago) this year alone.
The unfortunate reality of Chicago is its history of hypersegregation leading to many being cut off from opportunities, lax gun laws on a federal level, and firearms - legal and illegal - being funneled en mass from neighboring states like Indiana with even fewer restrictions. It's a false equivalence without all of the details. This is unheard of in Berlin and Germany (and other European countries) due to this that I timestamped from Mr. Radical Living ua-cam.com/video/LH4YDJGYBQs/v-deo.html
I visit Chicago regularly and I can say that I agree. Chicago's crime rates are sky high, it's not a pretty sight
Lol yeah but that’s like comparing India and Saudi’s Arabia’ In the matter of women’s rights . I can compare anything to one of the worst equivalent and look good in comparison .
Fuck that 😨
I WONDER why Chicago is dangerous. HMMMMM. A real PUZZLE isn’t it
I definetely saw drug dealers, mentally deranged people, pickpocketers, and shady dudes trying to talk to me and make me follow them in Berlin. But nothing bad ever happened while I was in Berlin.
9:29 How lovely. I work as an insurance broker in Brazil and in my city there is around 3 cars stolen per day and the insurance companies go nuts complaining how this number is too high. While, according to your number, its 12 cars per day in Berlin (4399/365) I don't know where you take 90/day.
you are right, not sure what happened 😬 how could i not notice this miscalculation while editing 🤯
Your videos are always so informative and entertaining, thank you for making them! I’ll be moving to Berlin soon and this video answered most of my questions ☺️
Lived in Berlin for 2.5 years, I've never felt unsafe anywhere I go, I can walk around late at night bymyself and need to worry about nothing
Berlin is amazing
Remember when I came to Berlin in 2014. We had a ride from Rotterdam. So, we dropped off at Warsauerplatz (I think it's called like that). 3 seconds after my boots touched the ground I heard:" marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy?" I knew I'm at the right place.
Congrats with finding a first sponsor! Still waiting the trip to your favorite city. I mean Munchen.
Soon!^^
Oh yes, München 🙏
8 arab clans.... I find it hilarious/sad at the same time. How about equality there: there should be at least one russian and maybe one vietnamese one to balance it all out :D
these are there, too. though the russian mafia is concentrated differently, more on the eastern outskirts and satellite cities of berlin. and the vietnamese and thai mostly dabble in traficking their own people to germany to work and launder money. They come and live here as voluntary slaves, sort of. they get to retain enough money that the children can go to school (and hopefully have a better future outside of crime) but never as much as if they would work normal jobs around here. See nail salons for example.
They have those arab-lead criminal clans (gangs), and then allow hundreds of thousands (millions?) MORE arabs into the country...arabs used to treating women like slaves, and a belief that they are a superior culture and will do and take as they please. It makes no sense to me. NATO could've created safe-zones in their home countries if they really wanted to prevent them from being harmed...by their own people.
Well, there are Chechnyan clans, if one can count them as Russian ones 🤷♂️
Had two break ins at my place in the last 3 years. First time they stole my notebook in the night while I was sleeping. Found it a few weeks later on eBay Kleinanzeigen and got it back with the police.
Which neighbourhood???
I was only once in Berlin in 2019, I loved it! And I went to Kottbusser Tor (as I was going to Schneiders Laden), I noticed the shady vibes but didn´t see or didn´t happened nothing to me or my friend! We even walk around the place, through Kottbusser Str. to the Hard Wax record store and came back again to the U-Bahn station... I have great memories of Berlin!
Bing of russian descent myself I can testify that that russian accent was spot on, especially понимаешь lol
That gold coin was on loan from a private collector, so the museum must've had to pay back the value of the coin to that person. Frankly, it was ridiculous to have a modern coin from 2007 in a museum that is supposed to be collecting items of historical value and items of expert artistic craftsmanship. Now it's a financial burden for nothing.
Yes, berlim looks very dangerous. Like, fluffy rainbow-country dangerous
Lol
@F. A. What favelas? Im from a midsize countrysize town with no slums. And thats not even the point, of course there is crime and whatever here but on of the main factors of violence here is the police.
Hate to burst your bubble. Those 8 Arab clans, you know, the small army of 10 000, they all have guns. Go ask them how difficult it was for them to get it. I will buy you a Paulaner for everyone that got their gun the way you would have to. Those gun laws you speak of, they are for you. Not the criminals.
Visited Berlin in 2018 solo, felt pretty safe and I did go to some of the night life…that said be careful as pick pocketing is huge, even the hotel I stayed told me to be careful and it was 4 star hotel.
And every other uber I got was very sketchy driver, from ignoring all the street signs to speeding to offering to get me substances (lol), so take regular taxi as my German friends recommended is safer and not that much more expensive. Just my two cents, but definitely visit Berlin its an awesome city.
Having seen Turkey, Ukraine and France, generally Berlin didn't look creepy. I spent 4 days in Berlin, and on my second day i was mugged and robbed by two pakistanis right behind the east side gallery, one of them stood really close to me and made a gesture like he's pulling out the knife, swearing to god that he will kill me, no one intervened:) Although it probably was a bluffing, it was kinda hard to risk my health for 100 fucking bucks. I didn't go to police, because i had not so much time, plus spending all night with police would likely lead to nothing. So noteworthy to say, that many cases go unreported. It was the first time i got robbed. I was a bit shocked it happened in a very crowded place. Currently i live in Poland and it's super safe here, thank god Poland did not let in african and middle eastern refugees.
I love how you never shy away from the fact, even when Germany is pretty safe( one of the safest in the world.) I live in a small town of NRW. Nowhere else in the whole world I would feel safer.
We compare Berlin not to a Ghetto or Favela in the third world or the US, but to the rest of the country. So of course there are more criminals than in many other areas of the country.
Me too. Love living here but think next year have to move to Great Britan😑
Egypt in my experience is the safest place to ever live at. Egyptians never do crime at all lol
@@worlddj1364 Dubai is the safest
Is is save here, but have you visited Mecklenburg-Vorpommern?
I lived in Berlin for 5 years and experienced a mugging with a physical damage, and an identity theft. Never had any other criminal encounter anywhere else I lived.
I had a brawl breakout in front of me on the u-bahn a few years ago. It was between 5 palestian guys and 4 or 5 German soccer hooligans. One of them started spraying pepperspray right in front of me, which was a new experience, suddenly not being able to breathe, haha.. it was an odd thing to see one person after another start chocking as the pepperspray drifted down the carriage!! People were quite freaked out until they knew what it was!
I had the same experience😂
I'm from Chicago in the US. We had 800+ murders in 2021.

Which district???
Ik this is a somewhat old video, but when i arrived in Berlin as a tourist for the first time, i was suprised how people drive in the streets, some people have no respect for Red and green light, this one dude ignored the light being red and people were crossing, but he just kept driving and almost took me and my parents down
