Did you know that crossing fingers has a different meaning in Germany? It symbolizes to break a promise or oath. People, especially kids, do it behind their back when they tell you something like "I swear it is true" but is actually a lie or tell you something they wish that it doesn't come true. That's why it is kinda funny when you cross your fingers and tell your mom to hope to find the cream puffs for her - a German understands this as the exact opposite.
Yes... although I DO love Marburg in Hesse. OK its bigger and a lot of students, but it has a charm that is so special you can almost touch it!?! If you have time to visit, please do. Your daughter might go to University there... in a few(!) years time. It's home to the worlds first Protestant (as in non-Catholic) University. The Duke of Hesse sheltered Luther in town, as well as Zwingly, so it has LOADS of Reformation history too.
One of the cutest old towns I saw is "Rothenburg ob der Tauba". Itßs soo lovely. And itßs got the (I think) most famous store for Christmas decorations: Käthe Wohlfart). I tink you´d love this town. Love your videos! Keep on! And I hope you keep on enjoying your trips!
Quedlinburg is really stunning! Especially when you know its recent history. I came to Quedlinburg for the first time in May 1990, shortly after the fall of the wall in Berlin. All the half-timbered houses looked as if they would collaps any moment. Reunification came just in time for the town to rescue the century-old houses. When I came to Quedlinburg for the second time in 2007 nothing of that decay was visible any more. Just incredible!
Love watching you guys your happiness and smiles brought the same joy to me as well. As always wonderful and joyful post. I can't wait to go to Germany and experience eating the cream puff myself. Thanks for sharing your happy moments.
It's such a beautiful, picturesque town that it would be hard to imagine that it had been part of East Germany from 1949 to 1990 when that country fell and Germany was reunited! I imagine there was a lot more to see (and EAT) than there would have been during those times! Great that you all had such fun there with three generations!
@@rainerm.8168 I thought that may have been the case since it seemed only Dresden was shored up while the much of the REST of what was then East Germany was neglected if not allowed to remain in WWII ruins (including parts of East Berlin)! Well, I'm glad the last 31 years have helped it regain its . ..mojo!
Next to Quedlinburg and Wenigerode there also is Halberstadt. The town has seen more damage during WW2, and so there are less cute timber houses to explore, but what it does have is an absolutely stunning cathedral. So while a one year old toddler may not be quite up for that, if other viewers travel on their own, allow for the one hour tour that gets you proper access. It starts quite simply in the back through the cloister, if I remember right. But once you get to step into this cathedral you will know why you are here. Very much worth it. Best gothic cathedral that Germany has to offer, imo. Maybe, some other day.

@@helloweener2007 alles gut, deswegen sag ich ja meiner Meinung. Bin einfach nicht der Typ für städte mit "gewissem charme" wie ja auch Berlin oder ruhrpott Städte oft genannt werden.

You need to try gofry in Poland a sweet waffel with lots of topings. As well as bigos ( the dish with Sauerkraut and sausages, braised meat) and of course pierogy. I born in poland and this is what everyone visiting should try 😊🙏
Oh my! That is a charming little town! I am so in love with your family!! What a perfect trip ❤️. Can't wait to see Poland! Love watching your videos travel safe!
@4:26 at the left: the not very impressive house with the vertical beams was supposingly the oldest surviving halftimbered house of all of Germany from the 1300s - until 2003 when they discovered beams in another house in Quedlinburg, which were dated from the 1200's.
I visited Quedlinburg a few years ago, a beautiful town. I stayed at the same airbnb! It really is cute. Happy to see it is still there. Greetings from OWL 😊👍
Hi all, the list of german cities with Fachwerkhäuser=tudor style houses listed by mama google are: Quedlinburg, Celle, Fritzlar, Monschau(seems my favourite) Bernkastel-Kues, Esslingen, Tübingen, Rothenburg o.T., Bamberg. Some of them you already visited and may be worth for a short stop on your next tours. Willa is alive :-D yes, she is a kid and talks a lot. Seems she has made a very good bond to her grand ma, so keep an eye on her when your parents leave and Willa will stay with you. :-D Risa, btw, do your parents already understand that you like to stay in Germany cos you are so close to other countries, cultures, languages, history, different kind of food and so many things to discover. Hope they liked to see so much even it comes along with so much "easy" travelling. Enjoy and good luck for your next destination.
Quedlinburg is pretty indeed but the list of visitworthy smaller towns is long: Fritzlar Lüneburg Celle Aachen Münster Schleswig Stade Schwerin Stralsund Greifswald Meißen Erfurt Eisenach with Wartburg Koblenz Bonn Mainz Speyer Esslingen Freiburg Tübingen Konstanz Lindau Meersburg etc etc etc… a lots of sights to explore..
You made it! I was there a couple of weeks ago and someone commented to say you should go! Isn’t it unbelievable! I had the Striezel, not the Windbeutel thingies! Try those next time. They’re hot and Omgoodness I want one now. I should never watch your videos when I am hungry lol
@@pinkhope84 I have! Poland is the country in Europe ( after Italy) that I explored the most :) it is beautiful almost everywhere and you are right, the beaches are fantastic! White, fine sand, endless dunes... Just gorgeous! If only the weather and the water wasn't as cold as in Germany... :)
Why isn't anybody in the street? When I stayed in Quedlinburg the place was crowded! Quedlinburg is great and I am grateful that all those medieval houses could be saved which must have cost billions - after GDR had left the old houses to rot because they wanted people to move into the "Plattenbau". Those houses looked just terrifying after the end of GDR - and still people were living in them. But what a beauty they are now!
Hey, looks great. And allways interesting what is Marissa going to describe about food. 😀. Greetings to your parents. You can see how they enjoy to be with you and your little princess. She speaks more and more, so cute.
You have to go back to Quedlinburg during Christmas Season. The Christmas Market (Advent in den Höfen) is so beautiful. And there is a Cafe at the Market Place which Take Part in 7 Houses. Oh and go to the Castle of Quedlinburg and Wernigerode...
JFTR, if you ever visit a (touristy) city AKA "Hotspot" like Quedlinburg, check out the opening times of the restaurant’s/museums/etc. beforehand. In QLB most of these are closed on Monday AND Tuesday, bc they are open on Saturday and Sunday instead. Another thing, at the weekend, booking a table in your favorite restaurant in advance makes sense, we've seen several people meandering from restaurant to restaurant only to get rejected by default. Well, you might end up with a Chinese Take Away (03:17) as your last resort.
You ask, is this the cutest town in Germany? I ask, is that the cutest family in Germany? 😁😁 I know Werningerode from vacation. Very beautiful town. Quedlinburg I do not know unfortunately. Thanks for showing. The highlight is as always your little princess ☺️🥰☺️ Greetings to your parents Risa and please more of it. 🙋🏼♂️
To me Wernigerode, the old town looks a bit more homogeneous and therefore the overall impression is a bit more pretty. So, one should know that not all half timbered houses in Wernigerode are that old, often just from the 1800s. In Quendlinburg, on the other hand, single houses could be much older and when you are into architectural and construction details they could be more interesting.
Next time in the Harz you can go to the Windbeutel König in Gemkenthal 1, 38707 Altenau This is always our place for Windbeutel when we are in the Harz. Love watching you discovering pur beautiful home
I was last year 2x in the Harz area, one afternoon in Quedlinburg after attending a service there! Beautiful city. While in that area, I recommend the Harzdrenalin activities!
Old cities from the middle ages you find in the Eifel region aswell. Monschau and Niedeggen are beautiful. So was Bad Münstereifel before the Erft flooded it. I don't know if they are done building it up again.
i was just there 2 weeks ago. while the cases are high right now, over the entire pandemic the death rate is half of the US death rate. People get tested a lot. my mom got tested several times a week to see my dad in the nursing home. but people don't get sick due to the high vaccination rate. I felt totally safe. Oh, and people wear their masks when asked to.
Yes Germany has so many beautiful places that I’ve never seen before and that I like to see but I would also like to travel the world ! If you haven’t been to Tecklenburg or Bad Iburg then this is a little travel tip !
Quedlinburg was probably largely spared from WW2. In the 1970s there was no money in the East for modern buildings and no money to cut a wide road through the middle of the city. Until the end of 1980 it was just patching up in the East and hoping for better times. When better times began in 1990, the old building structure was worth preserving. But it still took a lot of investment to make houses look nicer on the outside than they ever were and to build in modern comforts on the inside. So the motto of the GDR still came true: "risen from ruins and facing the future..." Note, in the German Democratic Republic that was the text of the national anthem was last kept secret because nobody believed in it anymore. But with the Federal Republic of Germany it became possible. Just not under socialism and planned economy but with democracy and social market economy.
"text of the national anthem was last kept secret because nobody believed in it anymore" Actually the GDR stopped using the text because of the line: "Deutschland, einig Vaterland". Johannes R. Becher wrote it for Germany as a whole.
Kinda coincidence as I've left Quedlinburg only a day ago for a trip to the "Spreewald"-region, another "must see" only 3.5 hrs away from QLB (that btw, this year has its 1100yr anniversary, so many events are in its pipeline). So you haven't had a Baumkuchen at the Market place?
Didn't you go to Quedlinburg to see the tomb of king Heinrich I. (engl.: Henry the Fowler) who is said to be the founder of Germany (East Francia)? In addition, in the cathedral of Quedlinburg is exhibited the treasure (Imperial regalia of kings as well as emperors of the Holy Roman Empire) of the Reich, which American soldiers stole in 1945 and took away.
The main attraction is the monastery and the artifacts / treasures kept there. It's what made the city what it is. Many of its women came from powerful families, including close relatives of kings. That gave them a lot of power and wealth.
Come to think of it, the Windbeutel is the American style of eating on steroids: Impossible to bite anything off and making a mess when you squeeze it. Pure fun. As a German I would call for knife and fork. Have your parents already get surprised by the Spaghetti Eis? I guess the surprise won't happen because the beans were spilled on earlier YT-videos. Then there is Waffeln mit heißen Kirschen. That's even better than Windbeutel IMHO.
Too funny! How are you supposed to eat them? Cutting it would make a huge mess we would imagine....but so does eating it like a burger, plus it gets on the face! 😂
oh yes...i waited for this!!! i was born in nordhausen and quedlinburg, which i often visited, is one of my all time favourite towns! but you've missed the main attraction...the "quedlinburger dom"! hmm... :D
We realized that after & we were bummed!! 😂 Guess there's pro and cons to just walking around and exploring! Next time we'll put an extra effort to see it!
Would love to see you guys in a modern city. When I watch your videos I get the impression that Germany only consists of medieval architecture, but that's not the case
Germany had before 1871 never a capital city. Certain cities had specific "tasks". But the kingdom/empire was basically ruled from the cities the king/emperor preferred. And in the case of King Henry the Fowler (876 - 936) this was in first place Quedlinburg. He is also buried in Quedlinburg. He obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets in Quedlinburg when messengers arrived to inform him that he was elected to be king. Albeit this might be a legend. At least he was known to be an avid hunter. But also tells that the expectation that the ruler of the country should be a modest person is deeply rooted in German history. Henry the Fowler established the Ottonian Dynasty which ruled Germany from 916 till 1024 from this area (that's also why Goslar, Wernigerode, Halberstadt and Magdeburg were important). His son Otto I became the first Holy Roman Emperor.
Daß 'sweet little Willa' eine Vorliebe für Eiscreme hat wussten wir schon. Jetzt scheint sie aber auch noch eine Vorliebe für Kürbiskernbrötchen zu entwickeln, was ich voll verstehen kann. Das sind nämlich auch meine Lieblingsbrötchen. Es müssen reichlich Kürbiskerne oben auf dem Brötchen und schön gebräunt sein und auch nicht zu wenige innen im Brötchen oder auch Brot. Frisches Kürbiskernbrot ist nämlich fast genauso gut. Übrigens gibt es den typischen Geschmack beim Kürbiskernbrot bzw. -Brötchen durch die gebräunten Kürbiskerne darauf. Deswegen: je mehr davon desto besser schmeckt das Brötchen oder Brot..!
These are beautiful medieval cities. They have literally been planned to look like a city and not some houses in the landscape. They made bent streets with one house next to the other so that when you are at least a bit near the center, you don't see out into the open land, you see only the city, only houses - and a center place, a town square. I've read this some time ago. Before reading this I never thought of this. I just thought that the cities just came to be with one house after the other, but no, they planned them. It's a bit crazy, but it works, the bent streets with one building next to the other really make the medieval cities to be enclosed cities, where you only see the city houses and not the open landscape in the distance. These are not 5 houses on a field, I'm still smiling at this idea... But of course, a handful of houses in the open landscape have their own appeal to them... And of course, you are a cute family, enjoy it, enjoy your family and everything!
Oh, great memories, we was there in 2017 and our Nikolas was already 4 months old...every shop was closed, but this city is so cute and heartwarming, so it was a good time. But, the buggy on this streets is absolutly useless:-)
Thinking that this beauty was sooo close to being rotten beyond repair. There are a lot of stories about how, when the wall came down in 1989, building materials were sent from West Germany in large amounts on short-term notice to save this architectural heritage.
Yes , it's cute , but your little girl is cuter! OMG, she's adorable ! Never had kids myself , but always wanted to have a girl . Always wanted to have a daddy's little girl, I'm a sucker for daughters . You hold on to her tight because she's a gift from God to you! Anyway , great scenery , have a nice day , bye , bye !!!

And the world's best "Käsekuchen" is to be got in Quedlinburg, fresh out of a stone- oven..OMG-it was delicious ...
4:27 Here is a very old style half timbered house to see. This is a rare thing if not the only one in 🇩🇪.
Would love to see you guys in a modern city. When I watch your videos I get the impression that Germany only consists of medieval architecture, but that's not the case
Germany had before 1871 never a capital city. Certain cities had specific "tasks". But the kingdom/empire was basically ruled from the cities the king/emperor preferred.
And in the case of King Henry the Fowler (876 - 936) this was in first place Quedlinburg. He is also buried in Quedlinburg. He obtained the epithet "the Fowler" because he was allegedly fixing his birding nets in Quedlinburg when messengers arrived to inform him that he was elected to be king. Albeit this might be a legend. At least he was known to be an avid hunter. But also tells that the expectation that the ruler of the country should be a modest person is deeply rooted in German history.
Henry the Fowler established the Ottonian Dynasty which ruled Germany from 916 till 1024 from this area (that's also why Goslar, Wernigerode, Halberstadt and Magdeburg were important). His son Otto I became the first Holy Roman Emperor.
Daß 'sweet little Willa' eine Vorliebe für Eiscreme hat wussten wir schon. Jetzt scheint sie aber auch noch eine Vorliebe für Kürbiskernbrötchen zu entwickeln, was ich voll verstehen kann. Das sind nämlich auch meine Lieblingsbrötchen. Es müssen reichlich Kürbiskerne oben auf dem Brötchen und schön gebräunt sein und auch nicht zu wenige innen im Brötchen oder auch Brot. Frisches Kürbiskernbrot ist nämlich fast genauso gut. Übrigens gibt es den typischen Geschmack beim Kürbiskernbrot bzw. -Brötchen durch die gebräunten Kürbiskerne darauf. Deswegen: je mehr davon desto besser schmeckt das Brötchen oder Brot..!
These are beautiful medieval cities. They have literally been planned to look like a city and not some houses in the landscape. They made bent streets with one house next to the other so that when you are at least a bit near the center, you don't see out into the open land, you see only the city, only houses - and a center place, a town square.
I've read this some time ago. Before reading this I never thought of this. I just thought that the cities just came to be with one house after the other, but no, they planned them. It's a bit crazy, but it works, the bent streets with one building next to the other really make the medieval cities to be enclosed cities, where you only see the city houses and not the open landscape in the distance. These are not 5 houses on a field, I'm still smiling at this idea...
But of course, a handful of houses in the open landscape have their own appeal to them...
And of course, you are a cute family, enjoy it, enjoy your family and everything!
You can jokingly say that such a "Windbeutel" is a real "Sturmsack".
Windbeutel.. No other dish as a bigger gap between the "taste" and "eat comfort" ratio
"OH, TEYANNUR!!!"
Don't you let your in laws leave without making a video about their impressions, thoughts and culture shocks! 🤪
3:50 typical loud americans 🙂
Pures Mittelalter in Quedlinburg. :-)
Oh, great memories, we was there in 2017 and our Nikolas was already 4 months old...every shop was closed, but this city is so cute and heartwarming, so it was a good time. But, the buggy on this streets is absolutly useless:-)
I love Quedlinburg
Thinking that this beauty was sooo close to being rotten beyond repair. There are a lot of stories about how, when the wall came down in 1989, building materials were sent from West Germany in large amounts on short-term notice to save this architectural heritage.
Wow Tanner you watching Gale force twins ? are you a big gamer or a fishing guy ??? so " Petry heil " as we say in german.
Much larger than Werningerode though...
That looks like an Eclair
Quedlinburg May Not be the cutest but by far on of the oldest Northern German cities
So much history that’s for sure!
Yes , it's cute , but your little girl is cuter!
OMG, she's adorable !
Never had kids myself , but always wanted to have a girl .
Always wanted to have a daddy's little girl, I'm a sucker for daughters .
You hold on to her tight because she's a gift from God to you!
Anyway , great scenery , have a nice day , bye , bye !!!
Schöne Grüsse an die Eltern. Besuchen sie noch Mal Kroatien
Quedlinburg sehr schön aber Wernigerode ist Top
Make TRUMP great again !!!
