I lived in Germany, in Bavaria. For an American, it's incredible how much history intertwines with current daily life in Europe. My son's pediatrician's offices were located next to the ancient Landsberg city walls. We listened to strong quartets play in Gothic churches, worked in a Schloss complete with a dungeon last used by the Nazis.
WOW...my mother was from E Germany, I from West...a LOT of History!!!
@@angelikashipman3260 Absolutely! I have a firm belief that young people from the US need to travel, perhaps live for a while in other countries. It can, and maybe should, be on the cheap. Experiencing another culture opens ones heart and minds to other's experiences. Although, being first generation Mexican American, I had spent much time in Mexico- living in Germany was revolutionary. The lands, people, art, having a baby, shopping in grocery stores, walking on old cobblestones all gave me a deeper connection with a world outside my own.
Yeah. Every day you pass by something that you hadn't noticed before. It's full of hidden treasures like that. It's definitely worthy of the men's butts discount.
In comparison America has nothing. Europe and UK have such amazing history.
That's amazing!
Dude, these documentaries are STELLAR! Im a documentary nerd, big time and these are soo well done and interesting, intelligent and are well written, and acted out we well, with excellent narration!! Thank you
Cowabanga dude!
@@siphotheguy1870 🐢
Mir auch!
Agreed!
Let's golf naked
I spent two weekends camped in the yard between the two towers of Munzenberg Castle as part of a medieval recreation week in the 1970’s. I stood on the battlements one night and looked out across the valley to see the lights of the villages.
I bet that was quite fun!
What a great experience 😁
Sounds fun. Imagine the sentry on duty century's ago, standing where you were.
Great show! His position reminds me of when I was the production manager (#2 position) at a big manufacturing facility. My boss, the plant manager, was always gone at conferences or visiting corporate or whatever. My days were spent running around making sure every thing was running; machines, hourly employees, union employees, contractors, production schedules, entertaining visits by customers and vendors... Never a dull moment. Middle management is one of the toughest positions for sure, even back in the 13th century 😅
That was remarkably good, not just an informative history documentary standing by itself itself but tied into a compelling and very satisfying story.
This was the best. documentary I've ever seen. It was clear and informative while covering a day in the life kind of explanation as well as a story that was entertaining .
So many documentaries about Medieval history are very Anglo-centric, so it's good to finally see one that's set in the Continent! This makes me think of the Codex Manesse!😁
you do know the anglos also came from germany
@@commissaryarrick9670 I had no idea until recently. Small world indeed.
@@commissaryarrick9670 Well the Saxons came from Saxony / over Prussia way
I think the Angles came from nearer Jutland - But realatively nearby Fresian is closest to modern English
(Which sort of with a bit of mangling logic maybe goes some way to explaing why Dutch is supposed to be the easiest 'foreign' language for an English speaker to learn.
[But try finding anywhere with most schools teaching Dutch 🙄]
The English documentaries are.
Very interesting narrative. Usually when I think of castles I think of England or France. I hope you post more about German medieval life.
Oh, but Germany had the most varied & colourful “kingdoms” & nobility ….and of course, Frederik the Great…
kind of ironic since germany has more castles than england
I think the problem is that no one wanted to be the person talking about loving German history immediately after WW2. So, German history fell out of public consciousness.
Hi, can you help me, please? Love this doc, but where does all this take place? In what is now Germany? At the beginning they mention the Roman Empire! What? And "Frederick"? Roman Empire? 1218? Thanks.
Excellent documentary.💯💯👏👏. I enjoy watching it. Medieval vibes. Always wonder what it feels like living in a Castle 🏰🏰 in middle ages.
Fantastic documentary. Really enjoyed it.

I wish I could follow my father's line back to the 1200s and see who my greatx25 great grandfather was and how he survived.
This is a tier in it's own, They've even got the exerts of the best things the pundants they sat down inside some random castle hallway have said. 10/10
I grew up in an American castle built in the 1700's by a man named Norris. He was very wealthy and that's what he built. By the time we lived in it the library with a huge organ was taken down and was basically a big patio but it was a brilliant experience just living there. He built two large two story houses for his servants down the way a bit and my friends lived there.
It's not a real castle if it's American.
@@stevovimy Well yea, I mean, of course. It was in the US. it obviously wasn't built by a medieval European lord for protection it was built by that Norris guy to live in in the 18th century. It was a castle though in the fact that it was built as a castle is built just that it didn't serve the purpose that a real castle does.
That was quite interesting. I didn't know that were rules regarding a feud. Thank you very much for this video. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is better than most movies these days.
I love history. Wish I could translate to astral form, travel back to whenever and observe life, times, and language like one of those Christmas carol stories. 😊😊
My ancestors were from Germany and came here in 1738 aboard the ship “The Thistle” arriving in Philadelphia in 1738. They are said to be from Schloss Berg/Burg on the upper Rhine River. We are supposedly from the castle there. We have quite a few family members that do genealogy, including myself. My maiden name is Funderburg which was originally vonderburg meaning “from the castle or from the mountain”. It’s interesting to see this.
1738 must be a special year! Fetty wap incorporates it in his songs!
Still trying to imagine roasting a bird with its plumage intact...
Brilliant!
This is awesome. Do you think you can do more of the Middle Ages period? Maybe the Wars of the Roses or the 100 Years War.
wonderful documentary
Love listening to German. Don’t understand more than a word or two but love listening.
The story was fiction? Well it sure was real for me and enjoyed every minute of this video. All the players were stupendous! I really felt I was there. Thank you!
Bro passed a speech check at the end
Eberhardt is the dude!!! GOAT!
He’s very wise regardless of how he was conceived. I like him a lot.
I want that book they are using with the pop-ups!
….Right??
Wandapease-gi8yo:
I want that pop-up book too!😊.
I really enjoyed that! Better than most so called Hollywood epics!
thank you for good documentary great entertainment dropped a like to help out with the algorithm
I have to ask: where is the location for the interview with professor Hirschfelder? Is it a museum?
Where can we get similar videos to this one?
Politics of an era never change throughout the centuries.
Sehr interessant! Question: were the German feud system and the Anglo/Norman feudal system variations on the same theme? Great video!
Yes. Feudalism was founded in France in the eighth century and was the whole of Europes sole form of government through to the Early Modern time period.
This is an excellent dramatization of history. It's fictional, sure. But it's entertaining while still being informative. It's a good story with a protagonist you can feel for who has to overcome challenges and you learn a bit about medieval history. It doesn't hurt that the 10th to 13th centuries are my favorite part of European history.
Bless you, John Oliver
Excellent film.
I feel I’m watching a medieval dynasty documentary
Where are these German documentaries coming from? What are the original names and who are producing them?
I am wondering the same, this was excellent!
A chicken dressed as a knight riding a pig is not a sentence I ever expected to hear 😂
This is much more entertaining than watching Hollywood movies, and very educational to boot. Good job to the production team.
well done
Very interesdting story.
❤ 10/10
You and your staff are amazing documentarians, may I work for you?
This is a boat!
Wow
As someone interested in learning the life of people from the past, this video is immersive and wonderfully well made. i enjoyed every bit of it. ❤ Thank you for making this video ✨ i really thought this was an actual account of someone and not only a story 😂🫶
You have to go to Europe and touch a 1000 year old wall. They are incredibly sturdy.

Does anyone know the title of the pop-up book seen at the beginning?
The Servant is more than the peasant,but consider the peasant
It's interesting that the exact time appears on the screen and back then they only kept time in three hour increments.
Food is food. Beats starving.
Where I live in the north east of England I’m only ever a walk or short drive away from castles; Roman remains; Viking remains; prehistoric roundhouses; cathedrals, abbeys and monasteries; ancient ports and historic fishing villages; and more. I live close to the coast but surrounded by countryside and woodland. We’re the UK’s best kept secret and you definitely don’t want to visit 😉
that's soo coool!! oh how I wish I could visit such places some day... 100 years is enough to be considered old where I am from.
0:09 thank you. i was to here with this video.
Where's part two when they get hitched?
The ending is so wholesome, of course it's fictional... Or I might just watch too many shows like GOT.
👍👍
I’d kinda like to see this story as a TV show.
21 back then is like 41 now.
I got tattooed in Münzenberg at Fall Out Tattoo. It's a very nice looking castle.
In the middle ages there were signs in every business that said, "bastards need not apply."
