- Culture shocks are real. I have decided to share my experiences of life in Germany as a Brit, as well as the beautiful places I am lucky enough to visit.
My meditative videos show a calming and artistic view of the places I visit and the quiet, peaceful wanders I take through them. Medieval villages, picturesque cottages, beautiful cities. Relax and escape with me from the busy bustling world to my dreamy and serene slow living way of seeing my surroundings. Experience the magic of peering into the past and being in a fairytale, just for a little while.

it's the true cultural heart of modern enlightened Germany. Weimar, Wartburg, Schiller, Goethe, Bach and all the others.
I noticed this since I started studying the Romantik. I want to visit everywhere in Thüringen.
True that! It's pretty normal for us Thuringians to know all those places pretty well you learn about in school - but then you realize that it's really not for the rest of the country.
Thuringia is definitely a forgotten and hidden gem if you're interested in history. And cake.
Manchmal habe ich das Gefühl,das du schon mehr von Deutschland gesehen hast als ich.Mit deinen tollen Videos stellst du Orte vor,die weniger bekannt aber eine Reise wert sind.Einen wirklich tollen Job machst du da. 🎄🕯🕯🕯🕯🎅
ch meine, ich habe so viel Glück, solche Orte besuchen zu dürfen! Und dann sie mit Euch teilen zu dürfen! Es freut mich soooo!!! Merry Christmas, Klaus!
@@LaureninGermany ja, das ist der große Vorteil von deinem Beruf.
Man muss sich nur mehr für das eigene Land interessieren. Warum in die Ferne schweifen, sieh, das Gute liegt so nah...in Anlehnung an Goethes Erinnerungen.
@@verathiedmann7027 ich finde, weit reisen ist auch ganz toll- aber was wir vor der Nase haben, sollen wir auch nicht unterschätzen! Wahnsinn wie wunderbar es ist in Deutschland!
@@LaureninGermany Das ist richtig.
Man sagt hier nicht um sonst, Thüringen ist das grüne Herz Deutschlands.
Es gibt soviele schöne Ecken hier in Thüringen. Sei es bei Eisenach, Meiningen oder um Sonneberg. Übrigens Sonneberg hat immer einen lebendigen Adventskalender. Echt sehenswert.
Wünsche allen hier einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr
Ich will unbedingt viel mehr von Thüringen sehen. Danke für die Tipps. Das klingt super!
Seit wann sind Herzen grün?
Hat mir, einem relativ alten Thüringer, gut gefallen. Vielen Dank, schöne und kluge Waliserin!
@@Emoldi och, danke sehr!
Ich bin immer wieder begeistert wie die Musik zu den Bildern passt. Dazu Deine Stimme die Deine Begeisterung für Bach und Arnstadt mit seiner Geschichte und den Gebäuden vermittelt. Ein Kunstwerk der besonderen Art wie Du es nur kannst.
Danke Dir, lieber Peter! Was für eine tolle Stadt für mich zu besuchen! Frohe Weihnachten und ganz liebe Grüße!
It cant be this teeth chattering cold, when the ducks are swimming barefooted. ;)
And the water can‘t be deep. It‘s just reaching their bellies. 😉
LOL! The ducks are tougher than me!!!
LOL!!! I love this thread!
MERRY CHRISTMAS Thank you all for being here, and for watching my videos!!! I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas, eating too much, and sleepinga lot. xxxxx Isn´t Thüringen GORGEOUS???!!!
Kling Glöckchen, Klingelingeling! Lasst Laurin ein ihr Kinder! Ist so kalt der Thüringer Winter! Öffnet ihr die Türen, lasst sie nicht erfrieren! Gibt ihr heißen Glühwein! Schon bald wird wieder warm hier sein! Kling Glöckchen Klingelingeling, Kling Glöckchen Kling frohe Weihnachten liebe Lauren!😂❤
@@tasminoben686 lol! Merry Christmas, dear Ben!!!
Oh, what did you do in Stadtroda? Did you participate in a concert at the Stadtkirche? Too funny, as I went to school there (the yellow painted building you showed last) and was part of the Kurrende in Stadtroda for several years. Sang at this church many, many times. Happy memories. I first saw the sign "Weihertal" and thought "Oh, there must be more than one of these in Thuringia, then!", but I guess it was the exact Weihertal I'm familiar with! The Döner opposite the restaurant you filmed is the best in the world, btw! I always get one whenever I'm there.
Ich habe keine Ahnung, was andere Leute so an Silvester machen, aber ich verbringe meine Zeit mit Lauren und könnte nicht glücklicher sein! Frohes neues Jahr ❤️🥰🌹🥰❤️
Ich gebe mir Mühe, liebe Bianca, dass Du viel mehr zu schauen haben wirst in 2023! Einen Guten Rutsch!
@@LaureninGermany Ich werde jede Sekunde davon genießen! Guten Rutsch, liebe Lauren ❤️
I studied at the Bauhaus-Uni in Weimar for one semester and spent my free time seeing Thueringen. We could use our Thoska student ID to ride the regional trains to other towns. Jena, Ilmenau, Eisenach, Gotha, and of course Erfurt were all nearby. But there were countless smaller towns to visit. I once took my bicycle on the train down to Kranichfeld and rode back to Weimar on the Ilmtal Radwanderweg. Such a beautiful area!
That sounds fantastic! I can’t wait to get back. It’s so interesting and special. Are you German? Clay suggests to me that you are from somewhere far away!
@@LaureninGermany I'm from Virginia, greetings! I was an exchange student in the Erasmus program with others from all over the world.
@@13squier that’s just wonderful that you used your time so well! Memories for a lifetime.
@@13squier I'm from Texas and I am currently studying at the Bauhaus University
THANKS, Lauren for your lovely and wonderful/beautiful words, to the mystical thuringia. That's were i come from and life. It is sooo good, when i heard word's.
Cwtch mawr to you.
I thought it was absolutely wonderful there! I can’t wait to see more! Thank you!
At 9:10 this is indeed a craddle for wild bees. Many wild bee species don't live in hives like domesticated bees but are loners. Since some of these species are being endangered there is an effort to preserve them. The holes in the logs are made so that the bee moms can easily put their larva in.
How wonderful! I wasn’t quite sure, because of the logs. I have only seen smaller things in one of these- thanks!
9:11 Sure, it is a bee hotel, mainly to help the many species of solitary bees which are threatened and also important as pollinators. They lay eggs and raise their larvae in these holes. This kind of bee hotels are used here in Sweden also. - Fantastic view and places in Thüringen, so much history, thank you! And you are right, the forest looks like Scandinavia!
Thank you so much! And how sweet that they can even lay eggs in there. Merry Christmas!
Wieder einmal ein tolles Video mit einem interessanten Blick in unsere Vergangenheit. Ist das nicht toll, so ein schöner ruhiger Winterwald? Ich bin wieder begeistert, Danke schön und viele Grüße.
Vielen Dank, Heinz! Ja, der Wald reizt mich immer, mit seiner Ruhe, aber im Schnee… ah!!
Tolle Bilder, schöne Musik und eine ansprechende Stimme! Frohe Weihnachten, liebe Lauren, und danke für Deine gelungenen Videos!
Vielen lieben Dank!! Merry Christmas, Astrofrank!
You obviously were visiting the area while I was visiting my dad, who lives in Gotha. That's where I grew up. 😉And you were there, when it was very cold which was approx. 2 weeks ago.
If you like hiking through the forest, then I would recommend you a vacation through the "Thüringer Wald". There is the "Rennsteig" - a very well known hiking path. During summer you usually can book a tour, where you can hike this path on your own pace in one direction and you rest in several small hotels / huts that way. So while you're hiking your needed luggage will be transported from one stop to the next one in order that you don't need to care about during the day.
I‘m sure we will bump into each other one day, and it would be so funny if it were 250 kms away, when we actually live so close!
I don’t think I could walk so far every day, Opa Andre! It sounds wonderful, though!
@@LaureninGermany Maybe we should meet at some time next year in Schrobenhausen or Aichach, but I would suggest during summer, when it's warmer and one could sit outside for coffee & cake. BTW - speaking of coffee, did you get a replacement for your broken coffee machine, maybe for Christmas?
And another tip, maybe for one of your next trips to Thuringia - if you go to Gotha, checkout the Castle "Friedenstein" and maybe even more interesting for you the "Eckhof-Theater" within the castle, where they still perform operas and plays on a very historic stage.
@@Opa_Andre I know they still put on operas at the Eckhof Theater - I have sung Haydn there!
Yes, we must do that, in the warm weather!
I have indeed a new machine. I got it during the Black Friday sales....and use it constantly! They never managed to repair the old one properly.
@@LaureninGermany Oh, wow - this is exciting. You really get around in Germany. Not just knowing this really old theater but already performed there. Incredible. Now we have even more in common - somehow. I also performed there once - as member of my school choir. But that was approx. 45 years ago, lol.
@@Opa_Andre it wasn´t quite so long for me, but I´m sure it has hardly changed - isn´t it exciting there? It was a fabulous feeling! I wish I´d had my channel and filmed!
I think you haven't experienced really cold weather in Norway jet😄My coldest was in Røros by -35 degrees Celsius and the walk was beautiful.
I don‘t know if I‘ll ever do that! But never say never! I would like to experience it once, much rather than heat, that‘s for sure.
The five federal state's from former east Germany are highly underrated when comes to traveling and spending time there. These states offer so many amazing fascinating and interesting places, a beautiful unique landscape with an outstanding nature and national parks and you can be almost alone there without meeting another person for hours. People have these places a chance. Erfurt, Potsdam, Schwerin are just three example's for nice cities in the east of Germany.
Thanks for exploring and showing. Means a lot to me and appreciate it 💕💖 🙂 thank you so much ☺️
Potsdam is so pretty! And I had planned to go to Erfurt, but Arnstadt was such a lovely surprise, I didn’t make it- next time! I’m honestly desperate to visit Thüringen again soon.
Wunderschön, wie immer.
Danke sehr, lieber Carlos/Henry!
I'm surprised what an impact classical music have on normal people 's live. We have a chess player, a little bit famous at least in Norway, whos parents were hugh fans of Bach's music, so he christened him Johan Sebastian.😃
I know a man who called his son Tamino… and a fellow opera singer friend wanted to call her daughter Zerlina. I am so pleased she didn‘t!
Beautiful pictures! I have to recommend you the small town of Eisenach in the west of Thüringen. Here you'll find the Bach and Luther museum. Bach was born there and Martin Luther lived for a while on the beautiful Wartburg castle. There are also fantastic hiking routes around the city especially the "Drachenschlucht". Strictly recommended. Merry Christmas !
I have been to Eisenach - in fact, I would have sung Mimi in La boheme in the theatre their, except my agent decided they weren´t going to pay enough, something I regret until today! I think I would have loved it there!
Bendigedig! Diolch yn fawr !
Fantastic! I have to tell you - I don´t speak Welsh. It was forbidden in my part of Wales :-( But I sing in Welsh, to make a contribution to the language.
@@LaureninGermany i would like to listen to the song Mari Lwyd by Carreg Lafar, sing by you :-) Yes, i learned recently about the tradition of Mari Lwyd. Interesting. I did not know welsh was forbidden for a while.
Also Du solltest Bonn mal einen Besuch abstatten und dort auch mal auf die andere Rheinseite nach Königswinter und zum Drachenfels. Linz am Rhein oder Boppard. Es gibt so viele schöne Orte. In Thüringen ist Erfurt mit der Krämerbrücke, der Zitadelle auf dem Petersberg und dem Domplatz sehr schön.
In Bonn und Erfurt war ich bereits, aber bevor ich meinen Kanal hatte - ich stimme Dir zu! Die sind tolle Städte und ich gehe gerne wieder hin. Danke für die andere Tipps auch!
Arnstadt ist wirklich wunderschön mit seinen alten Fachwerkhäusern. Somit habe ich wieder was neues aus Thüringen dazu gelernt, was ich noch nicht kannte.
Ich auch, liebe Blond Katze!
Frohe Weihnachten, liebe Lauren.
Yes, that is a "winter hotel" for insects.
Oh, and you have to help me out signing up to Ludwig Bechsteins YT-channel. I can't find it.
Merry Christmas, Peter! Lol! Don’t worry, he’s already got his plaque!
Ah, I wasn’t sure because the logs were so big and I didn’t think they would put one in a forest. Maybe it’s to educate.
And now I have lost my week‘s head start. But I realised I should publish today. I will have time off, I promise!
Thüringen 🥰!
Beautiful!
Hope you had and have a wonderful Christmas!

Very nice Laureen. You told about my home. My friends in America like it. Do you have more like that?
Oh yes! Please look through my videos- where is home? Thüringen? I have also Quedlinburg und Rügen from the former DDR (and more coming soon!)
@@LaureninGermany My home is Thüringen not far from Erfurt.
@@thomasmuller4147 it is such a beautiful area!! I was enchanted and can’t wait to go back.
Thank you very much for your appreciated work I liked mostly the professional way in sharing a huge amount of informations about Thuringia, it's quite like a free awesome and warm trip through history surrounded by beautiful German cold and snow , thank you.... again
Thank you so much! That’s so nice of you to write!
Danke für ein erneut wundervolles Video. Frohes Fest und einen guten Rutsch in ein hoffentlich besseres neues Jahr. 🍾🎄👍😃
Danke, Charly! Ich freue mich sehr, dass es Dir gefallen hat. Merry Christmas!
Beautiful little cities in Thuringia: Eisenach, Bad Langensalza, Weimar, Bad Salzungen, Mühlhausen, Ilmenau........./ and the capital of Thuringia also very beautiful : Erfurt.
Yes, I must go back!
Frohe Weihnachten 🎄
Danke Dir! Frohe Weihnachten!
Wow Fantastic Winter View. So amazing nature
Isn’t it beautiful?! Thank you!
I am a natural born Thuringian. I can trace back my family there up to the 16th century. I'm glad about this footage. And yes, of course it has been an "Insektenhotel" 🤗But insects with wings won't settle in tree stumps - an usual fault.
Ah, that´s interesting- the tree stumps were what confused me.
What a heritage! I can´t wait to get back to Thüringen.
So much amazing architecture and historic buildings, thanks for this uplifting video!
Thank you for watching! I also think it’s so amazing there!
Such a good work, such lovely words, such nice scenes. Everyone in Germany should see your nice films. I wish so much more of them. I learn a lot. So go in for more! Have a good christmas!
Thank you so much! What a lovely thing to say! Merry Christmas!
Air. My dads funeral in Oslo fourty years ago. This music. Wonderful. Please do not reply to this comment. It is personal. But i will tell you this small story. I ended up in a small village in northern Jutland many years ago. Where i still live. On the first village feast here i met a neighbour which had family in Norway, Oslo, Høybråten, and even knew the graveyard where my father was buried. ( Høybråten graveyard). His surname was Bach. Strange coincidence. Jan Bach. He passed away last year at the age of 70, i think. We had a lot of beers together, many times. There are a lot of things between heaven and earth... That cant be explained.. Indeed. Thanks for this vid.
To walk where Bach lived for part of his live would really be something. Another lovely video....also nice to the winter wonderland. I hope you area all able to stay warm, at least when you are at home. Thank you for sharing! - Peter
It was amazing, Peter! To suddenly find myself there! And yes, it was just that first shock in the early morning - afterwards, I made sure I had 50 layers of warm clothes on!
@@LaureninGermany That great Lauren! I can relate to the layer of clothes 🙂
I spent 30 days in Meinigen Germany which is one city of Thuringia
I have heard it’s very beautiful there. I‘d love to visit. 30 days is a great amount of time!
Merry Christmas !
Merry Christmas, thank you!
You are a blast to watch!!!!! Thank You!!!!!!
LOL, that´s great! Thank you!
You are correct! Germany is living history which is IMHO a large part of what makes Germany so amazing to many of us who live elsewhere. It is wonderful that they are so conscience of the importance of preservation. I am pretty sure I have mentioned to you that I LOVE castles. My family and I have discovered that even a ruined castle is special in its' own way. This castle looks to be no exception! The cobblestone streets and old buildings throughout the town are also enticing to me. Your video makes Arnstadt look so charming. My son has a strong appreciation of classical music so I have no doubt a visit would be thoroughly enjoyable to him AND me, as well as the rest of my family. The city and the forest both look stunning in the snow! Your pups seem to be enjoying themselves and to not be too bothered by the cold.
You may not be aware how much your videos, and a handful of other youtubers, have actually helped some of us with learning German words. In my case, I have heard of Thüringen but have never heard anyone pronounce it. I typically have to just glance at a German word and kinda make up my idea of how it sounds. Usually I am very, very wrong! (I still get a good laugh at myself for how far off I was with my guess of how to pronounce Wernigerode!) Thank you for setting me straight today on how to say Thüringen!
Again, another very enjoyable video. I'm sure it's just a matter of time but until then I'll be watching and waiting to hear about when you get your plaque on the wall! 😊
Thank you so much, Marie!! I actually say the German words, and connect them with the English for that very reason! I think if I repeat them often enough, when people come and visit, it´ll be in the back of their minds, and maybe make a little difference to their trip, so this was wonderful to read!
And Arnstadt is just sooooo pretty, isn´t it?! I realised that I should not wait a week to publish, that it was right to add it immediatley to the channel for Christmas. So now, I´m out of videos, LOL! But I love that people are enjoying them all.
Thank you for pointing out the beauty of my home region. I used to live some time in Arnstadt and to be honest knowing almost every angle in Turingia I had never thought that Arnstadt could be a place to start with to explore that highly underrated region. You somehow managed to change my view a bit :-). Good point is if you liked Arnstadt you will probably remain speechless seeing all the other places to discover.... My suggestion is to return in spring/ summer and to start with Erfurt and surroundings. Need a guide? Here I am. It's been a while that I discovered your channel. Your special way to see the things is highly appreciated and has brought to me several hours of inspiring relax after hard working days. Thumbs up and please keep on.
Aw, that’s lovely! Thank you!
Hello Lauren,Thüringen looked very cold on the day of your filming. Thüringen is such a beautiful area and I am looking forward to spending more time there as well. I love how you stated that "Germany Is Living History" and I so much agree with your assessment. It is funny and true that if you see an empty beer bottle on a random table you must be in Germany lol. It was so much fun to see your doggie close up even in a middle of a yawn lol lol. It is neat to hear about the green woodpecker who was chosen in 2014. So fun. BTW, have you tried the spaghetti eis in Thüringen Thank You for sharing my good friend Lauren.
Isn´t it just lovely there, Darion?! I was so excited to be standing there, where Bach had been so often. I don´t eat milk products, so no, I haven´t tried the Spaghetti Eis, although I do love vegan ice-cream which is getting more readily available!
@@LaureninGermany yes, Bach is awesome. I love visiting Leipzig as well as visiting the church where he is buried. I am looking forward to my next visit for sure.
@@LaureninGermany Oh my goodness, I wonder if vegan ice cream is any good? Thoughts?
@@MagnificentGermanywithDarion yes, it’s wonderful! Just like ice-cream made from animal milk, there is good and bad. I‘ve been vegan for 10 years, so I‘ve tried a lot! Lol!
@@MagnificentGermanywithDarion I always remember my little dog, Tosca, a silver poodle who is no longer with us, she learned to run off the lead right by Wagner‘s grave!
Wenn du gerne Schlösser besuchst, komm mal nach Mönchengladbach. Hier gibt es Schloss Rheydt, Schloss Wickrath und in direkter Umgebung Schloss Dyck und Schloss Liedberg. Dazu noch einen wirklich schönen Wasserturm und noch einige andere Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Danke, das klingt fantastisch! Besonders Liedberg...!
@@LaureninGermany dann am besten wenn dort das Apfelfest ist.
Schloss Wickrath ist auch sehr schön da es im Stil von Versailles gebaut ist und im Rheydter Schloss gibt es einige Pfaue (Peacocks) was doch ein wenig verrückt ist aber auch echt schön.
Der linke Niederrhein ist echt schön und sehr grün und eine Kanufahrt auf der Niers ist auch sehr entspannend.
@@CavHDeu oh! Ich möchte gerne nach Versailles - aber es gibt alles in Deutschland!!! Danke! Und Apfelfest klingt so toll!
@@LaureninGermany manchmal gibt es auch Turniere mit Pferden am Wickrather Schloss und das Fest am See im Sommer.
Dazu haufenweise Parkanlagen und kleine Wälder.
Und auch wenn die Niederrheinische Tiefebene sehr flach ist kann man in Mönchengladbach schon mal mit einigen Anstiegen rechnen. Leider haben wir nie die Cable Car bekommen wie in San Francisco 😵💫 aber dafür haben wir ein Museum für Zeitgenössische Kunst am Abteiberg.
A UA-cam plaque ? Always a possibility! Thuringia was in the DDR, so I was unable to visit.......
Ahhh! You caught that! It’s a pipe dream, I think, but it would be amazing if so many people liked gentle and positive content about Germany!
Yes, it feels always very special to me when I cross the border. I always think about how difficult that would have been, not that long ago. I also filmed in Quedlinburg, in case you would like to see that, and on Rügen. All former DDR.
"You know you're in Germany when there's an empty beer bottle on the bench."
Indeed, if it's _Germany,_ that bottle could have been there for _centuries._
Lol! Somehow, it looked gemütlich…!
Deine Begeisterung über die Besuche dieser geschichtsträchtigen und musikhistorischen Orte ist direkt ansteckend! Als ich mit ca. 16 Jahren das erste mal in Leipzig die Thomaskirche besuchen durfte und am Grab von J-S. Bach stand konnte ich leider noch keine UA-cam Videos machen. Aber ich kann mir vorstellen, wie du dich während deines Besuchs in Arnstadt gefühlt haben mußt!
Ich bin auch so froh, dass so viele hier in den Kommentaren das verstehen! Danke sehr!

Great Video and it sure looked cold.Brrrrrr
Oh, it was soooo cold! But then I got that magical sunrise, so it was worth it. Thank you, Clifford!
very nice little clip. i can't impress upon you enough just how much different this part of Germany looks now, as compared to the first time i went in the days after the borders opened up over 30 years ago. it was so gray and drab, and sad to see what it looked like compared to where i grew up just 30 or so miles from the border. I was stationed in Wildflecken in the Bundeswehr in the mid-80s. I can't tell you just how close the border was for us, and how present, too. we were the "zonenrandgebiet".
I think that’s why a lot of people don’t realise how lovely it is there. Because they went immediately, but they‘ve worked hard on their towns since then- like Quedlinburg.
Magical pictures and very interesting stories.
Thank you, Hilli! I’m glad you liked it.
@@LaureninGermany It is really fun to listen🤗
@@hilligerman7212 wonderful!
I didn't know Arnstadt and Stadtroda could look like this 😉. Other places, that might be worth a visit in Thüringen are Saalfeld with the Saalfelder Feengrotten or Rudolstadt and the Heidecksburg and of course, Weimar (although, if you are a Bach-enthusiast maybe you will not enjoy Weimar, apparently we imprisoned him 🙃).
I will enjoy Weimar, don´t worry! Thank you for all these tips. The Feengrotten sound wonderful...!
I live in Thüringen, and people making jokes about my homestate.
80% of Thüringen is forest, and the rest are trees. 😉
Jo. Ich lebe in Schleswig-Holstein. Meine Frau, die aus Niedersachsen kommt, sagt immer in Schleswig-Holstein gibt es sehr viel Gegend! LOL! Schöne Feiertage😂
Och, I don´t know about that, but it sounds great to me!
Hello Lauren very nice Place. Hope you Drive safely back? We had Blitzkrieg in the past and last Time Blitzeis. Meaning is Rain on the frozen ground. So you Visiting Wolfenbüttel ?
Yes, I got home safely, Thank you! I have never been to Wolfsbüttel - is it nice?
@@LaureninGermany nun antworte ich in deutsch das ist einfacher. Wolfenbüttel ist eine kleine Residenzstadt der Welfen, einer der George war englischer König, der König von Hannover und Herrscher von Braunschweig Lüneburg. Da wär schon mal eine Verbindung zum Vereinigten Königreich. Lessing hat eine der wichtigsten Bibliotheken dort aufgebaut. Ein Besuch dort ist sehr spannend. Das kleine Theater trägt auch seinen Namen und hat das aus dem Jahr 1835 stammende Schlosstheather ersetzt. Es wurde dann mit dem eisernen Vorhang vor Ausbruch des 1. Weltkrieges eröffnet.
Die Stadt blieb von größeren Bombenangriffen verschont und die Renovierungswut der 50ger und 60ger Jahren blieb Wolfenbüttel verschont. So ist es eine sehr schöne Fachwerkstadt. Es gibt ein paar Bausünden wie überall. Braunschweig ca. 30km nördlich wurde zu mehr als 90% durch die RAF zerstört. Die amerikanischen Bomber waren auch fleissig dabei.
Neben Celle, Hameln und den kleinen Städten an der Oberweser gehört Wolfenbüttel zu den schönsten historischen Facherkstädten im Norden. Ach für Biertrinker natürlich fehlt in der Einbeck in der Liste.
Kann gern ein bischen rumführen ...
@@axelurbanski2774 es klingt wunderschön, danke! Ich schaue, dass ich mal dahin komme!

A great video again and merry Christmas! Do you ever had some troubles with other aggresive dogs who run chasing your dogs? If you want to see a free living wolf, you need to go to Brandenburg, where the biggest chances are to see a wolf, which are very low. Altough Brandenburg has the highest population of wolfs in Germany by now. 1000 years ago, wolfes were littery everywhere in Germany. A towns name, close to my living place, is Wolfenhausen. Anyway, isnt the Bavarian forest similar to the thuringian forest? I dont know any places to visit in Germany right now.I told you in the past a lot, lol.
You certainly did! I need to give up everything else and just travel in Germany, to see everything!!!
Yes, I could get problems with bigger dogs, (or rather, their owners) but of course I am very careful. And that’s why I go to less crowded places!
Oh dear .. I laughed out loud and nearly lost my bisquit when you said everybody had described to Bach`s YT channel and this would have been the reason for him to become famous - and maybe this also would work for you! :`DD You are way too talented with words and talking to just sing texts which others have written - all those prominent writers of music from former times who - I am convinced since I watched your video - also had YT channels and thousands of followers, haha! You are genious!
Hello, dear ShadowHall! I know how annoying it is when YTubers ask, so I try to think of something that isn´t too awful LOL! It´s become a fun game for me, too! I would love to get more subscribers, to know there are more of us who like this stuff and also, of course, it makes a huge difference to me, when I spend 40 hours on a video! So, great - I´m excited to know what your idea is!!! (Just please - no suggestions to reaction channels! One of them killed my best performing video - I think I´d be well over 7k subscribers, if they hadn´t stolen my work.)

@@LaureninGermany Aww, that`s awful! No, nothing of that kind! As a creative person myself I always find it quite difficult and also risky to surrender to one personal opinion, one taste alone - just hoping that the person who shows his/her impression in public means it well and likes it. Such "experiment" can destroy so much because there are so many people who let themselfes be influenced by the meaning of others.
My idea was this: I develop the raw drafts of my novels in public on the world`s biggest writer´s and reader`s page. My stories find their readers and fans before I edit and publish the manuscripts. Actually, I have about 1.200 fans following me and reading my two novels ("Weltentanz" and "Shadow Hall", a third one, "Die Schwäne von Tara", is in its starting blocks, there are already some chapters) and: I have Making Ofs running for all three, together with some other stuff, so I have some possibilities to put out a little commercial for your channel.
In the Making Ofs everything is about the characters, the plot and scenes, the atmosphere in the story, my style and writing tools, the historical resurch and what inspires or has inspired me for my stories and characters. I can write what I want and it would be no big thing to introduce your channel, your work to my readers! As in most social writing/reading pages most of the readers read my stories without having any contact with me as the author, they do not vote for the chapters or write any feedback and comment, but they follow me for years now and seem quite interested, also because I soon will publish the first volume of Weltentanz and will inform my followers about the date.

@@LaureninGermany There are always some more active readers who give much back with their feedback and votes on my novels. As I mostly mix up actual themes and settings with a little bit of mystic and mostly lead ly readers also into historical parts, they love the mix very much and also my historical themes. So there is a bit of a "connection", a bridge between what you do and what I write, it would not be difficult to make it fit into my Making Of or put it as a nice "commercial" between two chapters, maybe in Shadow Hall.
My readers know I am an actress (stage) and I explain anbd show in my works how I use directing knowlege, dramaturgical skills, the power of dialogue and the way I `ve learned to develop three dimentional charakters with living psyche and believable personality and put all my theatre experiences into writing. They have become fans of the "mix" of film-like impression, stage-like scenes, realistic and fantastic charakters all melted into a written story - they enjoy the mix of talents and artful skílls very much, so I believe that they would also love your great "mix", haha!

@@LaureninGermany You could give me some key words and notes about what you would like to have mentioned and expressed - or you trust me giving my own personal impression of what your work is like and about and what I love about it (there`s only good things I could say about it :-) ) - and when it `s ready I woud invite you to come and read it yourself.
The page is free, also you can read there without creating an account, but maybe you would like not just to read my text and the reactions but talk to my audience directly in the comments - for this you would need an account which is easily made and wouldn`t need more than a minute `s time.
I cannot promise much effect, at least not at once, but such advertising can stay there for a long time, and through days, weeks, years also from there could come new fans and followers for you. I know my readers quite well, some for 7 years now. They trust my taste and opinion and surely would visit you channel to check out your videos. I have mixed audience, my novels are read by people between sweet age 15 and adults between 18 and 65 - many of them surely would also love your beautiful, mostly historical content and fairytale-like style and the beautifully fitting music which always gives a special touch of atmosphere to it. Should we give it a try?
@@shadowhall1501 it’s really very nice of you! The only thing is that I think it’s better if people find me via UA-cam itself, I mean that they are already UA-cam users. Otherwise it disturbs the data for the algorithm. They come and look and don’t stay on the platform and then the algorithm thinks that I drive people away. The kindest thing you can do for me is to watch my videos to the end, like and comment! That’s what counts. But thank you from my heart for your sweet offer!
The reaction channels liked my video, that wasn’t the problem. They showed my whole video, just stopping to say a few words now and then, and then viewers had no reason to watch the original- my original. Also, my videos weren’t suggested for further watching, as it was on their channels. One channel didn’t even show my channel name. I lost over 167000 views. I got the videos taken down, but not immediately, as my mother had just died and I didn’t have the mental clarity to find out how to do what I needed to. It was awful, as it was a lovely thing happening at a dark time- I mean my video going so well, views, subscribers, after a year and a half of work. and they stole it all off me.

It’s pretty fantastic here!

Ist das ein Vorschlag?

Lade dich gerne mal ein...
Will you come to Austria some times?
Certainly. I’m counting on it!
Please read me a fairy tale every evening. I'll marry you. thank you for this good work you are doing. every episode is beautiful.
LOL, thank you!
Thuringia is 13th place among tourists out of 16 federal states. The splendour of Goethe, Bach and Schiller has long been gone. The image in Germany of Thuringia moves between Bratwurst mentality and Nazi state. The best thing about Thuringia is the motorway towards the west.
The numbers are certainly depressing at the moment, but I had a nice visit and I won’t write off Thüringen yet.
@@LaureninGermany In order not to give up Thuringia and the East in general, with the exception of Berlin, they would have to carry out a population exchange of at least 60% of the population. Don't be fooled by the nice facades. The East is the Bible Belt of Germany. Every 2 chooses either right-wing radical or left-wing radical here.
Waren sie überhaupt schon mal in Thüringen, oder allgemein im Osten, oder haben sie ihr Halbwissen aus irgendwelchen Schmierenblättern oder Kanälen?!

Thüringen hat viele schöne Orte und viel zu erzählen.
Ich hoffe, bald viel mehr zu entdecken!
Thüringen is amazing, if only there were less souls lost to AfD.
Honestly, I don’t know much about that. I’m glad- I am happy to show this region through my eyes and keep the attention off them. It was an amazing trip. Beautiful towns and nature, and the people in the audience were delightful!
