the prison break itself might not be punished, but if you damage anything or hurt people during the escape then you can get punished for that as far as I know. Separate crime so to speak.
The speed limit is on certain section of the Aotobahn with very high traffic or Greens in your government, on others you can max out your car. ua-cam.com/video/S9qXmtZUcOs/v-deo.html
It seems like you misheard the word "populous" for "popular", right around 1:40... on the "drinking age": nowadays you can drink with 14 years if you are accompanied by a legal guardian. (Though this has recently become a point of discussion) if you bounce out of prison, your sentence will basically be on hold, till they catch you again, (or should i say IF ^^) so if you got a 10 year sentence and run away after a year, and gtet caught after another year, you'll still have 9 years to sit off. Plus whatever charges you racked up during your illegitimate vacation ^^. and getting out of prison may be easier then you'd think in some cases. We have something called "offener vollzug" (open enforcement). where the convicts that are "soon to be released" get their first steps of reintegration into society. like getting a job with a regular company, and such things. Those guys could just wander off, but usually don't really have the need or motivation. And then we have "preventive detention" where we gather all those, that have "done their time", but are still considered "too dangerous to release", like serial-killers/-rapists etc.. And they get to the "prison-light"-concept. Not sure what the benefits were exactly. more yard time, more freedom for cell-furniture and decoration, i think they also had a better food-shopping option, then the regular prison comiss... And overall german prison is considered to be fairly "soft" and bring with it opportunities of networking and learning for the actual professional criminals. Crime-school if you will... On how hard it is to get into university: That depends on the university and the topic you wish to study. if you aim to become a lawyer, medical doctor, or smth. like that you'll only stand chances with a very high NC or "numerous clausus" (basically the average grade you received in your final year at prep-school) If you "just" want to become a pharmacist, or regular basic engineer (not necessarily aerospace-engineer), your chances are quite good, if you were a "slightly above average student". And if you wanna study "philosophy" or "religion", probably every moron will be accepted.
I am a GERMAN and we had recently such a Case. I tell you shortly how it works: YOU escape the Prison, GREAT.... This does not ADD anything to your Conviction.... OKEY! You get haunted by specialists Units. If you (and now Law kicks in) REFUSE to give up or hurt anyone: Another Charges awaits you. We got SPECIALISTS for this wich have partly "Secret Service" Abilities. I am not kidding. THEY are allowed to screen kind of every Database and so on. In Berlin for Example: a Foreigner kicked a Woman downstairs int he Subway. She was badly hurt! "Zielfahnder" got him out of Bus at Berlin ZOB as he came back from his Country. You can run, but you kind of can not escape. That the Punishment is to lax is another Topic....
No,. if you manage to flee from prison in germany. You just don't extra charges for the fact that you escaped. BUT you will get charged for anything you break on your way out and any other criminal activity you do while trying to escape. (Including battling corrections officers and such..) You still will have to serve your full sentence as soon as police can get hold of you. ;)
and there are certain privileges for "good behavior" in the prison as well as a chance for earlier release on parole, which you would all lose because fleeing is no "good behavior" ... there only is no law and additional penalty for (trying to) fleeing itself. you still need to serve the full sentence (and because of this "bad behavior" probably really the *_full_* sentence), and any additional penalties for illegal activities while fleeing. ps: *_helping_* someone to flee is illegal and has a penalty of its own.
Russia is not more popular, it is more populated. That's what he said. Regarding the prison escape: if you break out of a prison in Germany, you will OF COURSE be caught again, because you have to serve a sentence for which you were convicted, right? But you don't get an EXTRA penalty for trying to escape, unlike in other countries. In the USA, for example, an escape attempt is punished with an additional 2 years.
Though if you commit crimes during your escape, you will get punished for them, just not for the escape itself. For example if you damage property or hurt people in the process of the escape you will get additional charges for those crimes.
The Berlin Wall didn’t stand as a symbol for the division until the reunification. It was the division. Heavily so. In addition to the border between the two countries that was similarly unbreachable and deadly. After the reunification small stretches of the Berlin Wall remain as a „symbol“ of that time.
We don't just walk arround, pointing at ruins , and guess, if it was a castle. History is documented since the middle ages. Every small town knows its history sometimes(Trier), even more than 2000 Years.
German history goes back till many thousand years B.C. You got to visit the caves in "Allgäu" in South Germany. There are the first signs of man living in this land
Concerning the prison break: You are not free, if they get You, You go back to prison, but only for the charge You got before. If You didn't do damages or injuries to somebody on your prison break, you will not get any extra charge.
Yeah I heard about that too, its funny but also logic. Its every humans natural will to be free and you can't blame him/her for that. And if the prison is not secured enough then its just bad luck😅
That's correct. It is human nature to want to be free. If you behave well and cooperate while in prison, you may be able to get parole after a certain amount of time, more amenities, or perhaps even be paroled sooner. You can even do vocational training in German prisons, and the state helps you reintegrate into society and a normal everyday life. However, if you have broken out or tried to, you do not show good will and the necessary impulse control and ability to submit to a situation, and in doing so you have often lost the chance for many good things that you had to exchange for trust in an improvement character maybe could have gotten. It's hard to break out. But it's even more stupid to jeopardize all the chances!
If too many people want to enrol for a subject, there is a "numerus clausus", a kind of limit for the school grades of the applicants. In the past, the waiting period was also taken into account, but this was abolished in 2022. However, there are also many subjects that can be studied with the worst school grades. There are also some subjects where the selection process is extremely tough in the first few semesters. You can always find a place to study in Germany, but whether it's your dream subject is not so certain, you have to be very good. perhaps a big difference to other countries is that there are many study opportunities with practical relevance, including study opportunities where you can work and earn money during your studies or even get access to a degree course if you continue your training in an apprenticeship. Germany is often criticized for its 3-tier school system, but on the other hand there are always opportunities for further education. If you start with the lowest school you are not doomed to be a plumber, you can continue your education and still become a professor of something. There are early and late developers. Some only become intelligent with age and others become increasingly stupid with age. You have to offer a possibility for everyone. 😉
Actually, every child in germany _HAS_ to go to school.. It's not just privilege or a right .. but it's outright mandatory. Besides that, i believe the fee for a foreigner to study here in germany is very low and entails mainly stuff like mandatory health insurance and such..
Dpends what he count as student fees. The normal fees are mostly the same but as a foreigner you have to prove that you can pay your bills (and doesn't need money from the goverment for your rent, food, etc). This is done by a special bank account where you have to show that you have enough (x€ for each planed month of studying) money to get the study visa.
The freedom to drive fast on the Autobahn comes from the fact that Germans are very well trained in driving. And that the majority of them adhere to the strict road traffic rules. Freedom due to hard, strict rules that must be followed.
Since lots of people from all over the world are coming to Germany traffic becomes more dangerous. There is a very different style of behaviour in traffic and style of driving everywhere. European truckers are used to this. But for car drivers the new people on the streets sometimes are a real hard challenge. There are people from Arab countries who drive very unsecured, slowly and they sit so close behind the stirring wheel that they often cannot react by stirring in time. Everything is a bit quicker here... 🙈 Lots of people from countries in Southern Europe or Near East are used to cross a road without talking care of the cars. This is a bad idea in Germany where jay walk is even not allowed when there is a path for walking people and bicycles. Drivers from Ukrainia drive different but they have a good grasp to take whats going on here. After a few days they are like German drivers.👍🏻 But very dangerous is when people from Africa go on the Autobahn with their bicycles!!! 😱😱😱 Yesterday there was an African on the Autobahn. And last week. I am wondering about this little number of tragic accidents. It is true: training for driver licence in Germany is strict and hard. And you have to be a safe driver in EVERY situation. Otherwise you do not pass the test. 🤷🏼♀️ And after a number of such tests you did not pass you need to pass another test for your mental health! No joke. We take driving a car/ truck/ motor cycle very seriously. That is the reason why it is allowed to find out with 16 how bad you feel after too much beer or champagne and learn how to handle alcohol with light drinks before you drive. And why kids need to be 18 for a car and 21 for a truck because this could kill another person in a fraction of a second while having a look on the smartphone (which is not allowed but 16-years-old kids are not interested in 🤷🏼♀️🫣). This is the priority we make. The only driving schools which are much better are those in Finland, de out on the country Side, which also teach how to behave on muddy lanes through the woods, how to drift or to get out off deep snow. They are really amazing! If you can drive safely in Germany you are a good driver. And if you can drive through all Finland by every season you are a hero!!! 👍🏻😃💪🏻😁
Russia is one of the least popular countries in the world right now, actually. Not many friends left around the globe and the remaining friends are autocrats and dictators.
Russia is a good country with a lot good people. But like anybody else most of the time bad administrated and bad influenced. Like us, the u.s. and lot others. Stop blaming each and everybody, maybe in the future you have to look them in the eys again.
In presence of a legal Guardian, kids in Germany are allowed to drink beer and wine at the age of 14. Anything below 12% vol can be purchased at the age of 16, and everything above 12% vol at the age of 18. (even though mixed drinks or "Alcopops" sometimes have less alcohol, they're not allowed at 16 because they still have liquor in them)
important to note: This is only for PUBLIC drinking. There are literally no restrictions for private situations, though the parents or guardians should obviously keep an eye open, because "endangering a child" and/or "neglecting a child" might cause the authorities to look into your ability to raise a child properly...
The absolute ridiculousness of American rules on smoking and drinking can be seen in the fact that at the age of 18 you can enlist in the armed forces "and be shot for the good of the fatherland", but you can only drink a beer at the age of 21, for example to celebrate the completion of basic training.
10:20 yes, if you manage to break out of prison, you're free. But: * if they catch you, you go back in * escaping itself is no crime but other offenses committed while escaping still are and you are legally responsible for those (like theft, vandalism, etc.) * you are breaking the code of conduct of the prison and you will face repercussions on that level (like loosing privileges etc.)
For German inventions I wouldn't forget the computer chip (Conrad Zuse) and printing books (Gutenberg), which might be the two most revolutionary inventions in human history (aside from the wheel, maybe) 😁🙄
... and Jet engines ... and rocket technology - the Saturn V development is based on the German "Aggregat 4" (V2) ... flying wing aircrafts - Everyone knows the Northrop B2. There were developments of this kind decades earlier in Germany (Horten IX / HO229)
Super great video!! I'm a German living in the US for lots of years now and I very much enjoyed this video!! Brought back lots of great memories. Thank you
I was born and raised in Berlin. One day my mom came home early from work, because a WW2 bomb exploded under the building next to her work place. If you escape prison in Germany, you are not free. You will be taken in again, but it doesn't add to your punishment.
Yeah, I Remember, I think it was 1993 or so, a construction worker A construction worker caught a WWII bomb near the Frankfurter Allee train station (Berlin) with an excavator, and it then exploded Almost all the windows on Frankfurter Allee were shattered Even several streets away, where we lived, it shook like a slight earthquake
I really miss our Bread in this list ...beer and sausages are not the only foods in Germany that are in coming in mass varietys ...just take a look at the bread culture ...mjamm! greatings from Germany
yep, every German that knows even a little bit about the protestant reformation, knows about Wartburg. The place where Martin Luther (NOT King) went into hiding as "Junker Jörg" (he was banished and ostracized for publishing his 95 theses and not retracting them). While there, he translated the bible, which was only available in Latin up until then (so only the priests and academics were able to read it), into German. By doing this, he also created a sort of unified German language, because he wanted as many people as possible to be able to read it...
Concerning alcohol: Compare a 20 old German student and a foreign US student spending a year in Germany. It is easy to recognize the American one. It is the one that is constantly drunken. As they are not allowed to drink at that age in the US they did not learn drinking habits or how to control the consumption. So I do not think that the American way ist better.
1:41 _Russia most popular?_ He said "most populous country", not "most popular country" 😁 8:54 _Bombs in Germany:_ I don't think you can say we would have a problem with this bombs. We are used to this fact and have laws and preparations to protect the people. I barely remember some accident with deaths. 10:03 _Escaping from jail:_ Yes, you cannot be charged with extra fine or time just for your try to escape. You will be charged only if you do some other crime, like breaking something, hurt someone, steal something, etc... (but most don't want to break free, because its "like holiday" compared to the US) 15:25 _65% without speed limit_ is actually true, but if you use the construction sites for calculations, it will reduce this amount by a very big percentage 🤣🤣 18:34 _free education for all_ means what it says. As long as you are sufficiently trained (technical college entrance qualification) to be able to study, you are welcome to enroll. You can even apply for a student visa so that you can live in Germany during your studies if you come from abroad. 20:33 Yeah... Germany has been through a lot. But all of this has made us who we are today and I am really happy and grateful to be a part of it. All these different times have made us a peaceful, sustainable, environmentally conscious, responsible, reliable and forward-looking partner. And that even with a government that has been incompetent for decades
Yep and since most traffic signs on the Autobahn are digital now they often change the speed limits depending on the weather condition (extreme fog for example) or the actual mass of traffic on a stretch (to many cars in a section speed limit goes down). That is possible due to live cameras above the Autobahn.
10:00 The fugitive will still be punished later. For example, because he is wearing prison clothing (theft) or he has damaged a window (damage to property)
In Germany, there is no standard issue "prison clothing"; inmates wear their own clothes, and in some cases, they are even allowed to go shopping under specific conditions. Some prisoners are granted the right to leave the prison for a few hours daily, unsupervised. So this would be the perfect opportunity to flee without breaking any additional laws or prolonging your punishment. However, they must return by a designated time. Failing to do so results in the loss of this privilege and others, like access to television. Remarkably, even convicted murderers may be granted this freedom if they are deemed trustworthy and sufficiently resocialized. German prisons prioritize rehabilitation over punishment. Inmates can pursue education and employment while incarcerated. A portion of their earnings is used to cover the costs of their imprisonment, but they receive the remainder when they are released. This helps them secure housing, possibly buy a car, and reintegrate into society. Statistics suggest this approach is effective, as Germany has a low recidivism rate compared to international standards.
In the university town of Göttingen, in the very south of lower saxony, they dig up and disarm bombs almost every year. In 2010 something went wrong, one bomb exploded, killing 3 specialists on the spot and injuring another 6. A few years before, a granade or bomb went off in the ground beneath a street, just as a bus drove over it. The bus jumped and passengers "flew" to the ceiling, at least one suffering a head injury. There have been other incidents all over germany, but rarely with such severe accidents. It's not only bombs, small ammunition is still being found and on the baltic sea coast there's phospor being washed ashore, which people mistake for amber. When they put it in their pockets, it can ignite, causing terrible burns. War isn't over with the peace talks.
In Germany its not a "posibility" to go to school, its a Law, you have to send your Kids to school atleast for 10 years, after this, its depending on the level of skill of the Kid, either the kid went furter to university or start a Job education. (normally! There will be Kids that don't but thats not the rule) And, it doesn't care if you are a German or a Foreign Resident, the rule to send kids to school is for all people living in Germany the same / Its sad that this guy didn't mentioned the most Iconic Castle we have, that is known all over the world because Disney used it as Blueprint for its Disney Castle. / And breaking free from the Prison is no crime, so you won't get an extra punishment, but of casue you have to completely serve your first sentence.
drinking age 16: he mentions 'without the parents at their side' .... yep, german kids may drink even at earlier age when supervised by their parents ... XD
You misunderstood the prison break/escape. A prisoner who escaped the prison will not be charged of prison escape itself but it does not free him/her for the convicted offenses. Just saying.😊
More distinctive than sausages is probably german bread. There are hundreds of variants, where most other countries just have the same style of white bread.
If you escape the prison without doing any damage in the process, you won't face additional charges. This doesn't mean you are free of you escape. If you get caught, you still have to finish your initial sentence. There just won't be time added for the escape. However if you damage property or hurt people in the process of the escape, that will make you face additional charges, because that is still illegal.
yes, no *_extra_* punishment, but still the original punishment, and probably also *_all of it_* with severely lowered chances for an earlier release because of this "bad behavior".
Southwest Germany here. About 10 years ago, they found one of those unexploded bombs in my town, and we had to evacuate for a couple hours, until they removed it, just in case it would go off. Luckily, it didn't.
My hometown, Dortmund, saw the heaviest bombing raid over a European city in WW II, on March 12, 1945. The British sent over 1000 fighter pilots and carpetbombed the city, even though downtown had already been razed the year before. They dropped nearly 5000 bombs and mines -- and even today, nearly 80 years later, there's hardly a construction project that doesn't have to deal with unexploded bombs stuck in the ground. In 2013, they found a single bomb not far from where I live that weighed 1.5 TONS; it was the biggest evacuation since the war ended, affecting several thousand people. In 2020, over 7000 people, three senior-citizen homes plus the two biggest hospitals had to be evacuated from downtown because of a couple of 500-kilo bombs, one of which had a still functioning acid igniter. A 250-kilo bomb was discovered on the other side of town last October. It's something that happens fairly frequently -- and we're not the only place where it does. Luckily, our bomb squads know what they're doing and can either disarm the things or set them off in controlled explosions, so that any damage is minimal.
No of the wall there is only a rest of it and it was a hard border between the two parts of Germany. It was no symbol, it's only today a few meters left.
There is no such thing as the best food in the world. Every country or state has good food. There is no such thing as the best or the best, there is always someone who can do something better or differently.
About the prison thingy : it is easy to understand , but there are limits about it: 1. they will still try to haul you back in. If you make your escape , but are caught again, you will simply not get extra charges . 2. This is llimited in a way, that you may not commit other crimes while doing so. Injuring someone or even killing someone during your escape will still net you new prison time. Only if you manage to escape without cause harm , nothing big will happen. If they catch you , which is most likely , you will just serve the rest of your time .
To be honest, origin german car manufacturies are not leading in electric anymore, Tesla does. But since Tesla build his "european" Model Y in Brandenburg's "Giga Berlin" , Germany is kinda still in game. 😅
The thing about the lost bombs is quite scary. I lived in a town near lake of constanz for some years and there were some important industry companies in germany located in this town so during world war two it got destroyed on much parts. Parts of the city were evacuated two times when I lived there because they found one of those bombs and evacuated the area until they were able to remove it safely
I'm from the Ruhr district that was heavily bombed by the Brits and US in WWII. A couple of years ago there was a not detonated bomb found laying under a heavily frequented Autobahn barely 200m next to a refinery working with high explosive oil products. When the Autobahn was build, only a layer of asphalt had been put over the dirt covering the bomb. Because there had been a street before they didn't have to dig deep into the ground to make the desired basic level. The bomb was found by chance when someone went over it with a metal detector while the pavement was renewed. And yes, I've heard about at least one incident where a worker was killed by a WWII bomb during a remake of an Autobahn. His machine scrapped, probably in the wrong way, the bomb and it exploded. "Luckily", if you can say that in this term, there was only this one man killed and a couple of injured people. No buildings were harmed or other remarkable damage done. Only the machine was destroyed. Then I've been told by my brother, who worked at this time in civil engineering, that one time a truck driver who had driven though the city was stopped by the police, because a someone saw, by chance looking from a bridge, that on top of his load was laying a 250kg aerial bomb. They hadn't discovered it while loading the truck. The truck then was escorted by police, driving now very slow and careful, to a big space where the special unit disarmed the bomb. The site where the bomb was found then was searched meretriciously without finding another one.
You don't a "get out of prison free" card when you break out, you just don't get additional charges for breaking out. But if you do anything illegall to breakout like destroying property you still get charges for that!
Actually, people die while deactivating bombs. An acquaintance of my father died doing his job just a few months before his retirement in the early 1970th.
The reason why a prison break is not punishable is because you can't punish a person for their basic feelings. But: if you commit a criminal offence, damage to property or even just travelling on a bus without a ticket, these are different offences. It is important to know that Germany favours rehabilitation. Prison is only intended as a secondary deterrent. First and foremost, it should rehabilitate. Education: Yes, education is free. The school system has 3 classes, Hauptschule (9 years and qualified for e.g. manual trades), Realschule (10 years, qualified for difficult, mostly mentally demanding jobs), Gymnasium (13 years, qualified to study at a university). After school you do a 3 year apprenticeship in which you are 50% in a company and 50% in a special school) the apprenticeship is paid with a small salary. After 3 years after the apprenticeship you can also study without a high school diploma. Anyone who lives in Germany can take advantage of this offer. Or young people must take advantage of it. There is compulsory schooling. But about the sausages: no, Germans rarely eat sausages. We have so much more.
There are still lots of these WWII bombs laying around in every city. My home town was ~80% destroyed on the 6th of December 1944 by the British, so we also have that phenomenon. I remember being evacuated from my home for bomb defusal work on at least 5 occasions (+ once from my work place) in my adult life, as they evacuate quite a large area around the bomb site for these tasks. I remember when they found a WWII bomb at the harbor in Münster (along with 2 at the central station and another one nearby, this was when I studied there a few years ago). Major construction work usually means that you find a few of those. ;) The 3 on "land" could be defused but the one at the harbor lay in the water and the detonator was corroded really badly so they had to detonate it. Was really a spectacle and a lot of people gathered around the place (in a good distance, though!). People living in the harbor district were glad they could drag the bomb out of the built up area - no broken glass. :)
Pretty sure that detonation is on UA-cam. Probably several different perspectives. It was pre-announced and drew a lot of spectators, and because of the water, you could actually see it from afar. Where was the one they had to detonate in a city, and which caught the nearby roofs on fire? Was that in Munich? And as for some of those actually exploding and causing injuries or even death, google "Fliegerbombe explodiert" (German for "aerial bomb exploded"). Yes, it happens.
You should differentiate a little for each city. There are large cities and metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Hamburg and Dresden that were very frequently attacked in order to wear down the population and also destroy the industry there (including armaments). After the Nazis distributed many economic and military goods to other cities or these cities were already economically relevant, they also became the target of air raids. The next category of target cities were cities located near a transportation hub or a major train station. Thus, cities that were strategically “unimportant” were safer. But there are also bomb finds that come from the Wehrmacht and the Ailleries and were simply left lying around. Bombs were hidden or simply buried in the ground to prevent enemy access. Nobody knows where something like that could be. In other cases, aerial photos are evaluated for attacks and possible unexploded bombs.
16:00 Another reason why Germany can afford an open speed limit at the Autobahn - within reason - is that every car needs to inspected by the TÜV every other year (new cars first after 3 years) for security issues. Also, maintenance of the car is taken seriously by most people. A well maintained car is a car that is reliable and will be able to be used many years with joy. 😊
Well, when it comes to food you must be careful with some kinds. Ordering a "halber Hahn" (half of a rooster) in region Köln (Cologne) you will get a bun made with rye flour, cheese and usually topped with mustard, onions and/or pickles. In rest of Germany you will get what you ordered - half a roasted chicken. Oh, and there is a type of food that raises friendly internet wars between the regions. While some call it Krapfen, in other regions it is called Pfannkuchen or Kreppel. Especially Pfannkuchen has another meaning in other regions... The easiest way to compare it is with a donut - without the hole. But it usually is filled with jam (raspberry, wild brier [Hagebuttenmark] or others) and rolled in fine or powdered sugar.
@@strenterWäre ja auch bescheuert, in Berlin ein Gebäck Berliner zu nennen. Vielleicht ordern Hamburger deshalb so oft Cheeseburger oder lieber gleich Chicken Nuggets? 🤔😆 Kondome nannte man früher ja auch Pariser. In Paris nennt man sie "capote d'englais", also "englisches Mützchen". 😂😂😂
I live in Hamburg, 2nd Biggest city in the COuntry, Right at the coast to the north and it was bombed to bits during WW2 (I think most bombs dropped here during the war). During my 30 years here, the times me and my family needed to close the windows and be warned of a bombdifusal in the district we were around 5-6 times ... I never heard of a bomb exploding, but everyone is aware and if its happen its just "shrug .. ok... whats for dinner?".... then again thats probably bcs these fine people do their job right defusing them :)
I personally never heard about a bomb exploding, most times if they find a bomb, it is publicly announced and several blocks around the bomb will be evacuated during the removal, even in the traffic news you get announcements for it.
Usually you need the „abitur“ to become a student at university. And the universities are not complete free of charges. You pay a Asta fee, a administration fee and a fee for using all trains and busses in the region for free. Altogether round about 200 bucks per semester, 1.600 for the whole time. Thats not free but quite cheap in order to US universities.
Yeah, bombs are still being found regularly, especially on construction sites in cities, railroads, etc. But to answer your questions: They rarely explode. There were a few cases when people got killed. But due to the awareness of people (especially construction workers) and the plenty of experienced, well-trained personel in bomb squads (which exist pretty much everywhere in the country, even in smaller cities), that hardly ever happens. When people get killed, it is usually from smaller grenades or artillery shells found in a forrest or an acre, not from big bombs. Many of these have been found meanwhile, and due to age they are less likely to explode now. But when my parents were kids, it would still happen now and then, that children were killed in playing with some old ammunition they found somewhere.
Towards the speed limits: There are some limits depending on the time, weather conditions etc. Also, your speed will be important in case of an accident. We have a recommended speed of 130km/h (almost 81 miles per hour). If you drive more than that, in case of an accident you might get partial blame for it, if you can't prove that this wouldn't have happened if you drove less than 130km/h. It's not an official speed limit, but it changes the way accidents are treated. Also, on the highways there are only vehicles allowed which are built to drive at least 61 km/h (38 miles per hour), so traktors and slow vehicles aren't allowed there. The highways also are in general very safe, well-built roads. The most accidents happen in citys and rural roads with many trees.
I remember when I lived in Göttingen an English 1000 pound aviation bomb went off while they tried to defuse it. I was about 1000 meters away and I have never heard something like this. I almost fell out of bed.
You asked about accidents about old Bombs? For a few years, there detonated a huge bomb by the rebuilding of the Autobahn 3 beneath a building car and killd the poor guy and kicked the heavy machine 100 Meters away. It was horrible. I googeld it, it was in the year 2006 near Aschaffenburg. It was a horrible explosion.
To your question if one of the bombs exploded. Sadly yes. In my little Town Rheine we had one of these bombs exploded while construction in 1978. It was in the city center at the main bus station. The previous own said that there is still a bomb from WW2, they searched for it, but couldn't find it. While construction one of the workers hit it with his machine and it exploded. This worker died, there were a few more injured. 5 minutes earlier and it wouldn't be that low numbers, because the buses had already left when it exploded. There is even a movie about it "Unter uns die Stille: Rheine 78" (under us the silence)
I think what they meant is that more people living in Russia than Germany. Because i think its true that 83 Million is the second most people after Russia
the rate on which you can get into university is simply passing tests and have what we call a "numerus clausus" which is basicly a note barrier. In order to even be allowed to the tests to get into university , your grades have to be of a certain quality otherwise you may not participate in those test. The "numerus clausus" differs though. It is not a number carved into stone , but rather one , that differ from university to university , depending on the numbers of students , trying to enlist.
19:29 In recent years, the volume of beer served at Oktoberfest has exceeded seven million liters, but fell in 2022 and was most recently at 5.6 million liters. This is a special beer, the so-called “Wiesn beer”.10/12/2023
9:13 To your Question. Actually we got non Bomb that explodes on their own. There are bombs that cannot be defused and must then be defused with a special water cutting charge. Every time, everything within a radius of 1 km is evacuated so that no one is harmed.
To your question about bomb explosions: I remember two cases. One of which was during highway constructions between the cities of Frankfurt and Würzburg. Unfortunately one worker was killed. The other one was in Munich (the town of which you said, it may have been Berlin). A very popular club (Schwabinger Seven) which had been located in a makeshift barrack had to be removed for a hotel for rich people. Karma stroke back swiftly. Under the rubble they discovered an airplane bomb. Tens of thousands had to be evacuated. The blast was impressive (there are videos on you tube). fortunately no casualties this time.
It is true that it is not a criminal offence to break out of prison. However, offences committed during escape are punished and are added to the remaining sentence
HI, I don't remember a bomb going off and actually causing a major damage. But I myself have been temporary evacuated at least 2 times , cause on a construction site in the neighborhood was found a bomb and had to be disarmed and removed. Only took a few hours though.
"HI, I don't remember a bomb going off and actually causing a major damage." Never heard of this neither. "But I myself have been temporary evacuated at least 2 times" Luckily never happened to me even though they still find unexploded bombs here in the Ruhrgebiet what feels like at least once a month.
5000+ per year is an average of 15 daily ... just 2 years ago they finally built a new house where for decades they had unused earth/garden, and for another few decades only had a concreted area for parking. when i returned home in the evening, i learned that they had found three grenades just on the other side of my living room wall, just where we also always had parked our car, right in the middle of Berlin.
Of course, damage has already been done and some of the bomb defusers are dying. Accidents like those in Munich, where a targeted explosion was covered in sand and shattered hundreds of windows. Or a few years ago, an excavator hit a bomb on an existing highway that was being renovated. There were even deaths there. The story behind almost every bomb defusal is the evacuations in the area - residents, retirement homes, hospitals, etc. A lot of preparation by those responsible, police and rescue workers. Provision of emergency accommodation, transfer to other hospitals. Then there are the people who have to be forced to leave the exclusion zone - doorbells, thermal cameras and helicopters. Then the preparation for such a defusing can take a few days and on the day of the defusing it can take up to hours until everyone is allowed to return. Of course, roads (motorways), railway lines will also be closed and, in the worst case, even flight routes will be restricted. It's really not "fun" at all...😮💨

WW2 bomb deactivation attempt in Austria: 2 death, both from the bomb sqaud, from 1 exploding bomb 2003 in Salzburg. I don't know how many death WW2 bombs still cause, but there are multiple bombs still found every year in Germany and Austria.
If you are interested in the bomb situation there is a very good video about it, that explains it very well. It's called "Europe's Unexploded Bomb Problem" It also includes footage of an old WW2 bomb exploding in 2012 in Germany.
It's very rare any old bombs explode unintentionally. I can't really remember when this happened last time. They either get disarmed or detonated controlled when disarming is not possible or is too dangerous. And it's not really a big thing with these old bombs. It's in the news when there is something found, but people are used to it. Sometimes there are some blocks temporary evacuated before it gets disarmed and removed. But there is no reason to feel unsafe in general about it in Germany. The problem mainly exists and concentrates around cities, train stations, industrial areas - places which was worthwile targets back in ww2. But as said, it is very very rare, that anybody gets harmed by them, although they get found quite often.
Yes, there are occasional detonations of unexploded bombs during construction work or while defusing! Accidents also happen when grenades, hand grenades, etc. are found.
In 2022 56.4 % (= 473.665 students) of the people born in 2003, you usually graduate from "Gymnasium" at the age of 19, enrolled in university - tuition-free.
A rough estimation is about 100.000 unexploded objects with some ten thousand bombs still under the surface in Germany. In the city of Berlin only, they found 7.300 uxo with a weight of more than 50kg since 1947. And they estimate about 3000 more unexploded bomb, granates etc. in the ground. Yes, from time to time, there is a bomb found on a construction site during the construction and not in advance, and sometimes (every five to ten years) the excavater hits the bomb to hard and we have an explosion on such a site, with casualties. But in 2019 a bomb exploded by itself, because the long-term detonator triggerd the bomb after 75 years. So every year, the "Kampfmittelräumdienst" bomb-disposal defuses about 1300 (metric) tones of UXO from the Second World War. And some of the bombs are 1000 pounds or heavier up to 1 or 2 tons blockbuster-bomb (Luftmine). Many bombs are incediary weapons, that should have burned down cities and factories. They are not as heavy, only less than 100 pounds, but with lots of old chemicals inside. And sometimes even this defusal does not work and also some of the experts died during their duty. To the cars, the missed Opel, but that manufacturer was sold different times. The Autobahn are just 5,7% of all streets and the together with the Bundesstraßen (Federal Roads) the long distance streets are about 22%, while about 50% of the driven distance ist done on these roads.
Heh, bomb defusal and disposal is indeet a "regular phenomenon" in germany.. And no, as far as i know, at least for the last 30 years, none of them had detonated unexpectedly. Possible the "biggest boom" in the last decade was a few years back in munich. A bomb which couldn't be defused and had to be detonated in place. In virtually every other circumstance, those bombs are defused an then transported to a factory for dismantling and disposal.
There was one found directly under an Autobahn near Frankfurt a few years ago while the Autobahn was reconstructed. Luckily it got get defused. (But think of what would happened if the bomb exploded because the igniter would go off one day because of its age! Cars were driving over it every day...) At the same time a bomb was detected and defused in a forest less than a kilometer away. Both procedures needed quite a bit.
Some years ago a WW2 Bomb exploded at a recycling station (was digged our and driven to the station unencountered) in Euskirchen and killed one worker. ua-cam.com/video/39XWo6rI-TU/v-deo.html Additional somewhere in the south? of germany a bomb unexpected explode in a corn field (noone hurt) because of age.
But we still cook with water 😆 To answer your question, it happend that ww2 bombs explode. Recently (September'23) a Farmer got blown up running over a bomb. It seams, that it only sets his field on fire but even fatal incidents happend. A few years ago, an excavator hits a bomb on a bridge construction side. The explosion vaporized the Maschine and the conductor. Those "left overs" are still a problem. As they said, any construction side has to be checked. Findigs are pretty comon, but accidents are rare.
Education: Depending of the subject you plan to stuy, you have to achieve a certain grade average level. It can't be lower than 1 (because it's the lowest grade) but eg for medicine it can't be over 0. Therefore most medicine students study in Austria where we don't have these restrictions yet.
Where I live, a bus was upended in 1998 by the explosion of a WWII bomb 5 m below the road surface; three people were severely injured. And in 2010 three bomb disposal technicians were killed by an exploding US air mine from 1944, containing 500 lb of high explosives. The time delay detonator probably did precisely what it was designed for: make the bomb go off after an unforseeable time interval after it has been disturbed. If I remember correctly, the bomb was found on a friday during building works, and it exploded five days later, tragically just moments before it was to be defused.
If you break out of prison you will still be wanted. You are not automatically free. If you are arrested again you will not get an extra punishment but will spend the original time in prison. but under stricter supervision. LG from Germany
10:15 well, yes, but if you break something or hurt someone while doing so, then you get the additional charges, on the other hand, if you get the trust to be allowed to have a free day and are expected to be back before night (happens usually before being released so you can do stuff like look for a job) and then just don't come back, then you might just lose those privileges for when they get you again
I'm afraid that there is a mistake in thinking, breaking out of a prison is not a criminal offense, but that doesn't cancel the punishment, the escapees are wanted and locked up again and serve their sentence. But they don't get any additional punishment for their urge for freedom.
About the bombs: I personally only know of one bomb in Göttingen in 2010 that exploded during defusing and killed 3 of the people involved in defusing it. But I don't know anything about a bomb that simply exploded in the ground. I'm 55 now, so if one exploded it was before my time. In fact, this is an issue that we in Germany are very relaxed about, but probably only because almost nothing ever happens and all bombs, except one, have been safely defused. It's just annoying when half a city is evacuated every time a bomb is found. But safety first.
It doesn't happen often, but it does happen sometimes that bombs detonate on their own. And due to vibrations, such as during an earth borehole, for example, an explosion of an old aerial bomb occurred in Munich as recently as 2021.
Hello, if I may interject on the subject of the car industry: Opel / Vauxhall is also an old German car brand, although it was taken over by Chrysler. On the other hand, car brands such as Skoda, Bentley and SEAT still belong to the VAG group (Volkswagen-Audi company), Mini and Rolls-Royce were, as far as I know, bought up by BMW.
The "no charges" for escape is actually not a big thing. It means the escape itself won't be punished, but if you damage inventory for the escape or injure or kill persons, that will be punished of course. So technically the doors have to be open and the guards be distracted massively for this to work out without any punishment. And even if the escape would succeed, that does not mean you're free. That means you'll get back into prison for your remaining time and won't get an additional punishment on top. Except you injured/killed persons or damaged any inventory of the prison for your escape, that would bring in another punishment that would be put on top of your already existent punishment. Fun fact: Volkswagen has their own butchery for their factory canteens. VW actually produces more sausages per year than they produce cars. Especially famous is their currywurst, that is in production since the 1970s. They even have their own ketchup for that with added curry powder. Both have an authentic parts number. So I actually could go to my VW trader and order them there.
Bomb production in WWII was huge mass business - the bombs had to be built as cheap as possible. 10% of all bombs simply did not go off when they hit the ground and another 15% had time detonators which were set to start the explosion once the fire brigade came in into after an air raid and civilians tried to find some rests of their homes... Each Land in Germany (equivalent to US states) has its own bob disposal unit and when some building here gets torn down to make place for something new, the building site will have to rest for some time (often months) for the ground to settle down completely before the disposal units comes in to research the area inch by inch.
The "right to flee" from prison sounds weirder than it is. Only the fact that someone escapes or plans to is free of charges. BUT: unless something really strange happens this can not be done without doing other crimes along the way like damaging others property, hurting someone, threaten someone, taking hostages and so on. So if cought later all the other crimes will be investigated and brought to court and maybe sum up. Also the prisoner's record will have influence on how he might be treated afterwards... So the only imaginable case of absolutely no penalty may be a hole in the fence and a prisoner creeps throug and escapes unseen.
there have been (very few) cases where some guard forgot to lock the outer door of the prison, or where someone was brought outside (to a doctor, funeral of relatives, etc) and started running faster than the accompanying guard, without violence causing no *_extra_* punishment ... but even that still would be punished by removing privileges or reducing chances for earlier release, etc because of bad conduct that violates the rules of the prison.
Some prisoners occasionally get to leave prison for a short time, with or without a guard. Sometimes it's as simple as just not coming back. Of course, once you get caught, that particular privilege will be out of reach for a long time ...
I'm not aware of an old bomb exploding while still in the ground resulting in damages to property or people. But, there are issues when they are being defused. I can recall one of those experts mentioned dying while working one of those bombs. In case breaking out of prison you'd still had to serve your sentence. It is just that you there will be no extra sentence for breaking free added to the previous time. But, every damage and crime conducted while breaking free will be prosecuted nonetheless. It is just the act of breaking prison, that's not prosecuted. As far as I know, everyone can apply for studying. There might be differences with countries that are not part of a visa agreement but in general you can go apply at a university or language school and then you'll be granted a students visa. The only issue is, that you have to pay for all the other expanses, like food and rent and books and all that. Also, you have to have a specific amount of money on an bank account for some reasons. But the education on the university is free.
💪😜 born in the village of the X-Ray inventer W.C. Röntgen.... Also here are a many toolfabrics and knifemaker und für Wuppertal Schwebebahn(Suspension Railway)
There is a speed limit on German Highway "Autobahn" for certain sections where it is too dangerous to drive fast. Normally there is a speed of 130 KM/h means 80,7 miles per hour, but you can drive often do 300 Km/h means 185 miles per hour or more,... if your car can handle it
About 5,000 miles of autobahn are unrestricted. Not THAT much. But fun nevertheless, esp. when you have a quick car. My 30 year old Opel Calibra I can nudge to stay at 24 mpg going 120 mph. Could go 25 mph faster, but then the mpg go down and I do not want to overdo it too much at that age.
It isn't illegal to Break Out of Prison, but they still bring U Back and Charge you for attacking cips for example, so Most Times you get extra charges but Not because of Ur will to Break out
Beer was a healthy meal in the middle ages because there was no clean, safe drinking water. Brewing disinfects the water. It had a much lower alcohol content than modern beer and was more of a bread soup than a drink.
About alcohol. When you are 16 you may drink beer, champagne or wine in public. Harder stuff is illegal till you are 18. Getting drunk isn’t very cool.
to the capital woith the WW2 bombs: As I knew, there was no exploding bombs yet. In order to recover the bombs, there is a special police unit that takes on this task. Sometimes bombs can be defused on site and transported away for final destruction. Others have to be detonated directly on site. These bombs are usually found when construction work begins and are disposed of immediately. Today I also read an article that there are up to 1.6 million tons of WW2 ammunition in the North and Baltic Seas (grenades, bombs, torpedoes, all types of mines,...). These are to be recovered and destroyed over the next 30 years, as they are already starting to rust underwater and could therefore explode uncontrollably in the short term. Unfortunately, the thing about beer and Bavarians isn't entirely true! I know that I'm making myself a little unpopular with Bavarians, but there are 2 interesting facts. Point 1: The german beer institute, in which the purity law for German beer was established, was founded in Berlin in the 13th century. Point 2: I think it was in the 12th century when the beer brewers fled Bavaria. It was then master brewers from Jever, a northern German city, who settled in Bavaria and continued brewing beer there. This statement is based on a conversation with a prospective brewmaster from the Berlin BRLO brewery in the summer of 2023 during a beer tasting.
If you break out of prison, you are not free. Of course, you must serve the remainder of the sentence for your crime. If you try to escape, the penalty simply doesn't increase.
the prison break itself will not give you extra charges ... everything you dammage you take with you maybe you hurt somebody ... THAT will give you extra charges
According to police, an unexploded bomb from the Second World War exploded during excavation work in Euskirchen near Bonn. The excavator driver was killed. Eight people were injured. January 3, 2014 an example

the prison break itself might not be punished, but if you damage anything or hurt people during the escape then you can get punished for that as far as I know. Separate crime so to speak.
The speed limit is on certain section of the Aotobahn with very high traffic or Greens in your government, on others you can max out your car.

It seems like you misheard the word "populous" for "popular", right around 1:40...
on the "drinking age": nowadays you can drink with 14 years if you are accompanied by a legal guardian. (Though this has recently become a point of discussion)
if you bounce out of prison, your sentence will basically be on hold, till they catch you again, (or should i say IF ^^)
so if you got a 10 year sentence and run away after a year, and gtet caught after another year, you'll still have 9 years to sit off. Plus whatever charges you racked up during your illegitimate vacation ^^.
and getting out of prison may be easier then you'd think in some cases. We have something called "offener vollzug" (open enforcement). where the convicts that are "soon to be released" get their first steps of reintegration into society. like getting a job with a regular company, and such things. Those guys could just wander off, but usually don't really have the need or motivation.
And then we have "preventive detention" where we gather all those, that have "done their time", but are still considered "too dangerous to release", like serial-killers/-rapists etc.. And they get to the "prison-light"-concept. Not sure what the benefits were exactly. more yard time, more freedom for cell-furniture and decoration, i think they also had a better food-shopping option, then the regular prison comiss...
And overall german prison is considered to be fairly "soft" and bring with it opportunities of networking and learning for the actual professional criminals. Crime-school if you will...
On how hard it is to get into university:
That depends on the university and the topic you wish to study. if you aim to become a lawyer, medical doctor, or smth. like that you'll only stand chances with a very high NC or "numerous clausus" (basically the average grade you received in your final year at prep-school)
If you "just" want to become a pharmacist, or regular basic engineer (not necessarily aerospace-engineer), your chances are quite good, if you were a "slightly above average student". And if you wanna study "philosophy" or "religion", probably every moron will be accepted.
I am a GERMAN and we had recently such a Case.
I tell you shortly how it works:
YOU escape the Prison, GREAT....
This does not ADD anything to your Conviction.... OKEY!
You get haunted by specialists Units. If you (and now Law kicks in) REFUSE to give up or hurt anyone: Another Charges awaits you.
We got SPECIALISTS for this wich have partly "Secret Service" Abilities. I am not kidding. THEY are allowed to screen kind of every Database and so on.
In Berlin for Example: a Foreigner kicked a Woman downstairs int he Subway. She was badly hurt! "Zielfahnder" got him out of Bus at Berlin ZOB as he came back from his Country.
You can run, but you kind of can not escape.
That the Punishment is to lax is another Topic....
6:40 is impossible. We cant more have than China our America!
No,. if you manage to flee from prison in germany. You just don't extra charges for the fact that you escaped.
BUT you will get charged for anything you break on your way out and any other criminal activity you do while trying to escape. (Including battling corrections officers and such..)
You still will have to serve your full sentence as soon as police can get hold of you. ;)
It is usually more stuff like "damaging property" like locks, doors, etc.
Also bribery, coercion, and so on.
and there are certain privileges for "good behavior" in the prison as well as a chance for earlier release on parole, which you would all lose because fleeing is no "good behavior" ... there only is no law and additional penalty for (trying to) fleeing itself. you still need to serve the full sentence (and because of this "bad behavior" probably really the *_full_* sentence), and any additional penalties for illegal activities while fleeing. ps: *_helping_* someone to flee is illegal and has a penalty of its own.
And you will lose all privileges you might have earned over time.
Russia is not more popular, it is more populated. That's what he said.
Regarding the prison escape: if you break out of a prison in Germany, you will OF COURSE be caught again, because you have to serve a sentence for which you were convicted, right? But you don't get an EXTRA penalty for trying to escape, unlike in other countries. In the USA, for example, an escape attempt is punished with an additional 2 years.
as i have heard in other videos, also Mexico has no extra penalties, just like germany.
Though if you commit crimes during your escape, you will get punished for them, just not for the escape itself.
For example if you damage property or hurt people in the process of the escape you will get additional charges for those crimes.
Yeah that's right, because here in Germany we say that it's naturally to try to get your freedom back.
The Berlin Wall didn’t stand as a symbol for the division until the reunification. It was the division. Heavily so. In addition to the border between the two countries that was similarly unbreachable and deadly.
After the reunification small stretches of the Berlin Wall remain as a „symbol“ of that time.
You might say, it stood as a symbol of the IRON CURTAIN, that divided Germany and the whole world into EAST and WEST.
We don't just walk arround, pointing at ruins , and guess, if it was a castle. History is documented since the middle ages. Every small town knows its history sometimes(Trier), even more than 2000 Years.
German history goes back till many thousand years B.C.
You got to visit the caves in "Allgäu" in South Germany. There are the first signs of man living in this land
Concerning the prison break: You are not free, if they get You, You go back to prison, but only for the charge You got before. If You didn't do damages or injuries to somebody on your prison break, you will not get any extra charge.
Yeah I heard about that too, its funny but also logic.
Its every humans natural will to be free and you can't blame him/her for that.
And if the prison is not secured enough then its just bad luck😅
That's correct. It is human nature to want to be free. If you behave well and cooperate while in prison, you may be able to get parole after a certain amount of time, more amenities, or perhaps even be paroled sooner. You can even do vocational training in German prisons, and the state helps you reintegrate into society and a normal everyday life.
However, if you have broken out or tried to, you do not show good will and the necessary impulse control and ability to submit to a situation, and in doing so you have often lost the chance for many good things that you had to exchange for trust in an improvement character maybe could have gotten.
It's hard to break out.
But it's even more stupid to jeopardize all the chances!
If too many people want to enrol for a subject, there is a "numerus clausus", a kind of limit for the school grades of the applicants. In the past, the waiting period was also taken into account, but this was abolished in 2022.
However, there are also many subjects that can be studied with the worst school grades. There are also some subjects where the selection process is extremely tough in the first few semesters. You can always find a place to study in Germany, but whether it's your dream subject is not so certain, you have to be very good. perhaps a big difference to other countries is that there are many study opportunities with practical relevance, including study opportunities where you can work and earn money during your studies or even get access to a degree course if you continue your training in an apprenticeship.
Germany is often criticized for its 3-tier school system, but on the other hand there are always opportunities for further education. If you start with the lowest school you are not doomed to be a plumber, you can continue your education and still become a professor of something. There are early and late developers. Some only become intelligent with age and others become increasingly stupid with age. You have to offer a possibility for everyone. 😉
Actually, every child in germany _HAS_ to go to school.. It's not just privilege or a right .. but it's outright mandatory.
Besides that, i believe the fee for a foreigner to study here in germany is very low and entails mainly stuff like mandatory health insurance and such..
Dpends what he count as student fees. The normal fees are mostly the same but as a foreigner you have to prove that you can pay your bills (and doesn't need money from the goverment for your rent, food, etc). This is done by a special bank account where you have to show that you have enough (x€ for each planed month of studying) money to get the study visa.
@@DSP16569Exactly, but this is not a fee, since it is (and remains) your own money.
The freedom to drive fast on the Autobahn comes from the fact that Germans are very well trained in driving. And that the majority of them adhere to the strict road traffic rules. Freedom due to hard, strict rules that must be followed.
For example you cannot compare the process to get a drivers licence in the US and Germany. There are worlds in between...
Since lots of people from all over the world are coming to Germany traffic becomes more dangerous.
There is a very different style of behaviour in traffic and style of driving everywhere.
European truckers are used to this.
But for car drivers the new people on the streets sometimes are a real hard challenge. There are people from Arab countries who drive very unsecured, slowly and they sit so close behind the stirring wheel that they often cannot react by stirring in time. Everything is a bit quicker here... 🙈
Lots of people from countries in Southern Europe or Near East are used to cross a road without talking care of the cars. This is a bad idea in Germany where jay walk is even not allowed when there is a path for walking people and bicycles.
Drivers from Ukrainia drive different but they have a good grasp to take whats going on here. After a few days they are like German drivers.👍🏻
But very dangerous is when people from Africa go on the Autobahn with their bicycles!!! 😱😱😱
Yesterday there was an African on the Autobahn. And last week.
I am wondering about this little number of tragic accidents.
It is true: training for driver licence in Germany is strict and hard. And you have to be a safe driver in EVERY situation. Otherwise you do not pass the test. 🤷🏼♀️
And after a number of such tests you did not pass you need to pass another test for your mental health!
No joke.
We take driving a car/ truck/ motor cycle very seriously.
That is the reason why it is allowed to find out with 16 how bad you feel after too much beer or champagne and learn how to handle alcohol with light drinks before you drive. And why kids need to be 18 for a car and 21 for a truck because this could kill another person in a fraction of a second while having a look on the smartphone (which is not allowed but 16-years-old kids are not interested in 🤷🏼♀️🫣).
This is the priority we make.
The only driving schools which are much better are those in Finland, de out on the country Side, which also teach how to behave on muddy lanes through the woods, how to drift or to get out off deep snow.
They are really amazing!
If you can drive safely in Germany you are a good driver.
And if you can drive through all Finland by every season you are a hero!!! 👍🏻😃💪🏻😁
He said Germany has the second largest population after Russia, not the second popular country.... Russia isn't popular.
The lefties love Russia because of Lenin.
The righties love Russia because of Putin.
Only the middlies don't love Russia.
yes, *_most populace(?) / populous_* vs *_most popular_*
It is popular with the European neo-nazi parties.
Russia is one of the least popular countries in the world right now, actually. Not many friends left around the globe and the remaining friends are autocrats and dictators.
Russia is a good country with a lot good people. But like anybody else most of the time bad administrated and bad influenced. Like us, the u.s. and lot others.
Stop blaming each and everybody, maybe in the future you have to look them in the eys again.
In presence of a legal Guardian, kids in Germany are allowed to drink beer and wine at the age of 14.
Anything below 12% vol can be purchased at the age of 16, and everything above 12% vol at the age of 18.
(even though mixed drinks or "Alcopops" sometimes have less alcohol, they're not allowed at 16 because they still have liquor in them)
important to note: This is only for PUBLIC drinking. There are literally no restrictions for private situations, though the parents or guardians should obviously keep an eye open, because "endangering a child" and/or "neglecting a child" might cause the authorities to look into your ability to raise a child properly...
When I was 5 years old I loved to drink the foam of my dad's after work beer, when he sit down with his companions
@@Enwaiyre I'm almost certain that we've all done that. xD
@@Sciss0rman cause we were cool😎
The absolute ridiculousness of American rules on smoking and drinking can be seen in the fact that at the age of 18 you can enlist in the armed forces "and be shot for the good of the fatherland", but you can only drink a beer at the age of 21, for example to celebrate the completion of basic training.
10:20 yes, if you manage to break out of prison, you're free.
But:
* if they catch you, you go back in
* escaping itself is no crime but other offenses committed while escaping still are and you are legally responsible for those (like theft, vandalism, etc.)
* you are breaking the code of conduct of the prison and you will face repercussions on that level (like loosing privileges etc.)
For German inventions I wouldn't forget the computer chip (Conrad Zuse) and printing books (Gutenberg), which might be the two most revolutionary inventions in human history (aside from the wheel, maybe) 😁🙄
... and LCD screens...
... and Jet engines
... and rocket technology - the Saturn V development is based on the German "Aggregat 4" (V2)
... flying wing aircrafts - Everyone knows the Northrop B2. There were developments of this kind decades earlier in Germany (Horten IX / HO229)
Super great video!! I'm a German living in the US for lots of years now and I very much enjoyed this video!! Brought back lots of great memories. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was born and raised in Berlin. One day my mom came home early from work, because a WW2 bomb exploded under the building next to her work place.
If you escape prison in Germany, you are not free. You will be taken in again, but it doesn't add to your punishment.
Yeah, I Remember, I think it was 1993 or so, a construction worker A construction worker caught a WWII bomb near the Frankfurter Allee train station (Berlin) with an excavator, and it then exploded
Almost all the windows on Frankfurter Allee were shattered
Even several streets away, where we lived, it shook like a slight earthquake
What happened in 1940-1945 no one living is to blame.. so forget it... I love germans
I really miss our Bread in this list ...beer and sausages are not the only foods in Germany that are in coming in mass varietys ...just take a look at the bread culture ...mjamm! greatings from Germany
yep, every German that knows even a little bit about the protestant reformation, knows about Wartburg. The place where Martin Luther (NOT King) went into hiding as "Junker Jörg" (he was banished and ostracized for publishing his 95 theses and not retracting them). While there, he translated the bible, which was only available in Latin up until then (so only the priests and academics were able to read it), into German. By doing this, he also created a sort of unified German language, because he wanted as many people as possible to be able to read it...
Concerning alcohol: Compare a 20 old German student and a foreign US student spending a year in Germany. It is easy to recognize the American one. It is the one that is constantly drunken. As they are not allowed to drink at that age in the US they did not learn drinking habits or how to control the consumption. So I do not think that the American way ist better.
1:41 _Russia most popular?_ He said "most populous country", not "most popular country" 😁
8:54 _Bombs in Germany:_ I don't think you can say we would have a problem with this bombs. We are used to this fact and have laws and preparations to protect the people. I barely remember some accident with deaths.
10:03 _Escaping from jail:_ Yes, you cannot be charged with extra fine or time just for your try to escape. You will be charged only if you do some other crime, like breaking something, hurt someone, steal something, etc... (but most don't want to break free, because its "like holiday" compared to the US)
15:25 _65% without speed limit_ is actually true, but if you use the construction sites for calculations, it will reduce this amount by a very big percentage 🤣🤣
18:34 _free education for all_ means what it says. As long as you are sufficiently trained (technical college entrance qualification) to be able to study, you are welcome to enroll. You can even apply for a student visa so that you can live in Germany during your studies if you come from abroad.
20:33 Yeah... Germany has been through a lot. But all of this has made us who we are today and I am really happy and grateful to be a part of it. All these different times have made us a peaceful, sustainable, environmentally conscious, responsible, reliable and forward-looking partner. And that even with a government that has been incompetent for decades
Yep and since most traffic signs on the Autobahn are digital now they often change the speed limits depending on the weather condition (extreme fog for example) or the actual mass of traffic on a stretch (to many cars in a section speed limit goes down). That is possible due to live cameras above the Autobahn.
10:00 The fugitive will still be punished later. For example, because he is wearing prison clothing (theft) or he has damaged a window (damage to property)
In Germany, there is no standard issue "prison clothing"; inmates wear their own clothes, and in some cases, they are even allowed to go shopping under specific conditions.
Some prisoners are granted the right to leave the prison for a few hours daily, unsupervised. So this would be the perfect opportunity to flee without breaking any additional laws or prolonging your punishment. However, they must return by a designated time. Failing to do so results in the loss of this privilege and others, like access to television.
Remarkably, even convicted murderers may be granted this freedom if they are deemed trustworthy and sufficiently resocialized.
German prisons prioritize rehabilitation over punishment. Inmates can pursue education and employment while incarcerated. A portion of their earnings is used to cover the costs of their imprisonment, but they receive the remainder when they are released. This helps them secure housing, possibly buy a car, and reintegrate into society.
Statistics suggest this approach is effective, as Germany has a low recidivism rate compared to international standards.
In the university town of Göttingen, in the very south of lower saxony, they dig up and disarm bombs almost every year. In 2010 something went wrong, one bomb exploded, killing 3 specialists on the spot and injuring another 6. A few years before, a granade or bomb went off in the ground beneath a street, just as a bus drove over it. The bus jumped and passengers "flew" to the ceiling, at least one suffering a head injury. There have been other incidents all over germany, but rarely with such severe accidents. It's not only bombs, small ammunition is still being found and on the baltic sea coast there's phospor being washed ashore, which people mistake for amber. When they put it in their pockets, it can ignite, causing terrible burns. War isn't over with the peace talks.
In Germany its not a "posibility" to go to school, its a Law, you have to send your Kids to school atleast for 10 years, after this, its depending on the level of skill of the Kid, either the kid went furter to university or start a Job education. (normally! There will be Kids that don't but thats not the rule) And, it doesn't care if you are a German or a Foreign Resident, the rule to send kids to school is for all people living in Germany the same / Its sad that this guy didn't mentioned the most Iconic Castle we have, that is known all over the world because Disney used it as Blueprint for its Disney Castle. / And breaking free from the Prison is no crime, so you won't get an extra punishment, but of casue you have to completely serve your first sentence.
drinking age 16: he mentions 'without the parents at their side' .... yep, german kids may drink even at earlier age when supervised by their parents ... XD
i see it daily everywhere without hide it ,sometimes they will loud and harass other people
@@yuisonderbar447 Depends on many factors ... first is your own choice where you live.
You misunderstood the prison break/escape. A prisoner who escaped the prison will not be charged of prison escape itself but it does not free him/her for the convicted offenses. Just saying.😊
More distinctive than sausages is probably german bread. There are hundreds of variants, where most other countries just have the same style of white bread.
If you escape the prison without doing any damage in the process, you won't face additional charges. This doesn't mean you are free of you escape. If you get caught, you still have to finish your initial sentence. There just won't be time added for the escape.
However if you damage property or hurt people in the process of the escape, that will make you face additional charges, because that is still illegal.
yes, no *_extra_* punishment, but still the original punishment, and probably also *_all of it_* with severely lowered chances for an earlier release because of this "bad behavior".
Southwest Germany here. About 10 years ago, they found one of those unexploded bombs in my town, and we had to evacuate for a couple hours, until they removed it, just in case it would go off. Luckily, it didn't.
My hometown, Dortmund, saw the heaviest bombing raid over a European city in WW II, on March 12, 1945. The British sent over 1000 fighter pilots and carpetbombed the city, even though downtown had already been razed the year before. They dropped nearly 5000 bombs and mines -- and even today, nearly 80 years later, there's hardly a construction project that doesn't have to deal with unexploded bombs stuck in the ground.
In 2013, they found a single bomb not far from where I live that weighed 1.5 TONS; it was the biggest evacuation since the war ended, affecting several thousand people.
In 2020, over 7000 people, three senior-citizen homes plus the two biggest hospitals had to be evacuated from downtown because of a couple of 500-kilo bombs, one of which had a still functioning acid igniter.
A 250-kilo bomb was discovered on the other side of town last October. It's something that happens fairly frequently -- and we're not the only place where it does. Luckily, our bomb squads know what they're doing and can either disarm the things or set them off in controlled explosions, so that any damage is minimal.
No of the wall there is only a rest of it and it was a hard border between the two parts of Germany. It was no symbol, it's only today a few meters left.
There is no such thing as the best food in the world. Every country or state has good food. There is no such thing as the best or the best, there is always someone who can do something better or differently.
About the prison thingy : it is easy to understand , but there are limits about it:
1. they will still try to haul you back in. If you make your escape , but are caught again, you will simply not get extra charges .
2. This is llimited in a way, that you may not commit other crimes while doing so. Injuring someone or even killing someone during your escape will still net you new prison time.
Only if you manage to escape without cause harm , nothing big will happen. If they catch you , which is most likely , you will just serve the rest of your time .
To be honest, origin german car manufacturies are not leading in electric anymore, Tesla does. But since Tesla build his "european" Model Y in Brandenburg's "Giga Berlin" , Germany is kinda still in game. 😅
Tesla isn't leading anymore, at least not in sales numbers, a Chinese company took over recently...
The thing about the lost bombs is quite scary. I lived in a town near lake of constanz for some years and there were some important industry companies in germany located in this town so during world war two it got destroyed on much parts. Parts of the city were evacuated two times when I lived there because they found one of those bombs and evacuated the area until they were able to remove it safely
I'm from the Ruhr district that was heavily bombed by the Brits and US in WWII.
A couple of years ago there was a not detonated bomb found laying under a heavily frequented Autobahn barely 200m next to a refinery working with high explosive oil products. When the Autobahn was build, only a layer of asphalt had been put over the dirt covering the bomb. Because there had been a street before they didn't have to dig deep into the ground to make the desired basic level. The bomb was found by chance when someone went over it with a metal detector while the pavement was renewed.
And yes, I've heard about at least one incident where a worker was killed by a WWII bomb during a remake of an Autobahn. His machine scrapped, probably in the wrong way, the bomb and it exploded. "Luckily", if you can say that in this term, there was only this one man killed and a couple of injured people. No buildings were harmed or other remarkable damage done. Only the machine was destroyed.
Then I've been told by my brother, who worked at this time in civil engineering, that one time a truck driver who had driven though the city was stopped by the police, because a someone saw, by chance looking from a bridge, that on top of his load was laying a 250kg aerial bomb. They hadn't discovered it while loading the truck. The truck then was escorted by police, driving now very slow and careful, to a big space where the special unit disarmed the bomb. The site where the bomb was found then was searched meretriciously without finding another one.
You don't a "get out of prison free" card when you break out, you just don't get additional charges for breaking out. But if you do anything illegall to breakout like destroying property you still get charges for that!
In Germany, you can even drink beer at the age of 14, but only under parental supervision. Greetings from Germany.
You have to listen more carefully 'cause you get a lot of the stuff being told wrong. It's English after all🙄
Actually, people die while deactivating bombs. An acquaintance of my father died doing his job just a few months before his retirement in the early 1970th.
The reason why a prison break is not punishable is because you can't punish a person for their basic feelings. But: if you commit a criminal offence, damage to property or even just travelling on a bus without a ticket, these are different offences. It is important to know that Germany favours rehabilitation. Prison is only intended as a secondary deterrent. First and foremost, it should rehabilitate.
Education:
Yes, education is free.
The school system has 3 classes, Hauptschule (9 years and qualified for e.g. manual trades), Realschule (10 years, qualified for difficult, mostly mentally demanding jobs), Gymnasium (13 years, qualified to study at a university). After school you do a 3 year apprenticeship in which you are 50% in a company and 50% in a special school) the apprenticeship is paid with a small salary. After 3 years after the apprenticeship you can also study without a high school diploma. Anyone who lives in Germany can take advantage of this offer. Or young people must take advantage of it. There is compulsory schooling.
But about the sausages: no, Germans rarely eat sausages. We have so much more.
There are still lots of these WWII bombs laying around in every city. My home town was ~80% destroyed on the 6th of December 1944 by the British, so we also have that phenomenon.
I remember being evacuated from my home for bomb defusal work on at least 5 occasions (+ once from my work place) in my adult life, as they evacuate quite a large area around the bomb site for these tasks.
I remember when they found a WWII bomb at the harbor in Münster (along with 2 at the central station and another one nearby, this was when I studied there a few years ago).
Major construction work usually means that you find a few of those. ;)
The 3 on "land" could be defused but the one at the harbor lay in the water and the detonator was corroded really badly so they had to detonate it.
Was really a spectacle and a lot of people gathered around the place (in a good distance, though!).
People living in the harbor district were glad they could drag the bomb out of the built up area - no broken glass. :)
Pretty sure that detonation is on UA-cam. Probably several different perspectives. It was pre-announced and drew a lot of spectators, and because of the water, you could actually see it from afar. Where was the one they had to detonate in a city, and which caught the nearby roofs on fire? Was that in Munich? And as for some of those actually exploding and causing injuries or even death, google "Fliegerbombe explodiert" (German for "aerial bomb exploded"). Yes, it happens.
And you hear NOTHING about WW2 bombs in England cause they all exploded back then😂
You should differentiate a little for each city.
There are large cities and metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Hamburg and Dresden that were very frequently attacked in order to wear down the population and also destroy the industry there (including armaments).
After the Nazis distributed many economic and military goods to other cities or these cities were already economically relevant, they also became the target of air raids.
The next category of target cities were cities located near a transportation hub or a major train station. Thus, cities that were strategically “unimportant” were safer.
But there are also bomb finds that come from the Wehrmacht and the Ailleries and were simply left lying around. Bombs were hidden or simply buried in the ground to prevent enemy access. Nobody knows where something like that could be. In other cases, aerial photos are evaluated for attacks and possible unexploded bombs.
12:30 You also can find the castle in Germany that was the inspiration for the castle used by Disney - Schloss Neuschwanstein.
16:00 Another reason why Germany can afford an open speed limit at the Autobahn - within reason - is that every car needs to inspected by the TÜV every other year (new cars first after 3 years) for security issues.
Also, maintenance of the car is taken seriously by most people. A well maintained car is a car that is reliable and will be able to be used many years with joy. 😊
Well, when it comes to food you must be careful with some kinds.
Ordering a "halber Hahn" (half of a rooster) in region Köln (Cologne) you will get a bun made with rye flour, cheese and usually topped with mustard, onions and/or pickles. In rest of Germany you will get what you ordered - half a roasted chicken.
Oh, and there is a type of food that raises friendly internet wars between the regions. While some call it Krapfen, in other regions it is called Pfannkuchen or Kreppel. Especially Pfannkuchen has another meaning in other regions...
The easiest way to compare it is with a donut - without the hole. But it usually is filled with jam (raspberry, wild brier [Hagebuttenmark] or others) and rolled in fine or powdered sugar.
@@strenter And some confused people especially in America assume that Germans think that's what Kennedy meant when he talked about being a "Berliner".
@@KaiHenningsen And as you know, the Berliner (food) is called "Pfannkuchen" in Berlin. 😂
@@strenterWäre ja auch bescheuert, in Berlin ein Gebäck Berliner zu nennen. Vielleicht ordern Hamburger deshalb so oft Cheeseburger oder lieber gleich Chicken Nuggets? 🤔😆
Kondome nannte man früher ja auch Pariser.
In Paris nennt man sie "capote d'englais", also "englisches Mützchen". 😂😂😂
I live in Hamburg, 2nd Biggest city in the COuntry, Right at the coast to the north and it was bombed to bits during WW2 (I think most bombs dropped here during the war). During my 30 years here, the times me and my family needed to close the windows and be warned of a bombdifusal in the district we were around 5-6 times ... I never heard of a bomb exploding, but everyone is aware and if its happen its just "shrug .. ok... whats for dinner?".... then again thats probably bcs these fine people do their job right defusing them :)
I personally never heard about a bomb exploding, most times if they find a bomb, it is publicly announced and several blocks around the bomb will be evacuated during the removal, even in the traffic news you get announcements for it.
Usually you need the „abitur“ to become a student at university. And the universities are not complete free of charges. You pay a Asta fee, a administration fee and a fee for using all trains and busses in the region for free. Altogether round about 200 bucks per semester, 1.600 for the whole time. Thats not free but quite cheap in order to US universities.
Yeah, bombs are still being found regularly, especially on construction sites in cities, railroads, etc. But to answer your questions: They rarely explode. There were a few cases when people got killed. But due to the awareness of people (especially construction workers) and the plenty of experienced, well-trained personel in bomb squads (which exist pretty much everywhere in the country, even in smaller cities), that hardly ever happens.
When people get killed, it is usually from smaller grenades or artillery shells found in a forrest or an acre, not from big bombs.
Many of these have been found meanwhile, and due to age they are less likely to explode now. But when my parents were kids, it would still happen now and then, that children were killed in playing with some old ammunition they found somewhere.
Towards the speed limits: There are some limits depending on the time, weather conditions etc. Also, your speed will be important in case of an accident. We have a recommended speed of 130km/h (almost 81 miles per hour). If you drive more than that, in case of an accident you might get partial blame for it, if you can't prove that this wouldn't have happened if you drove less than 130km/h. It's not an official speed limit, but it changes the way accidents are treated. Also, on the highways there are only vehicles allowed which are built to drive at least 61 km/h (38 miles per hour), so traktors and slow vehicles aren't allowed there. The highways also are in general very safe, well-built roads. The most accidents happen in citys and rural roads with many trees.

I remember when I lived in Göttingen an English 1000 pound aviation bomb went off while they tried to defuse it. I was about 1000 meters away and I have never heard something like this. I almost fell out of bed.
You asked about accidents about old Bombs? For a few years, there detonated a huge bomb by the rebuilding of the Autobahn 3 beneath a building car and killd the poor guy and kicked the heavy machine 100 Meters away. It was horrible. I googeld it, it was in the year 2006 near Aschaffenburg. It was a horrible explosion.
To your question if one of the bombs exploded. Sadly yes. In my little Town Rheine we had one of these bombs exploded while construction in 1978. It was in the city center at the main bus station. The previous own said that there is still a bomb from WW2, they searched for it, but couldn't find it. While construction one of the workers hit it with his machine and it exploded. This worker died, there were a few more injured. 5 minutes earlier and it wouldn't be that low numbers, because the buses had already left when it exploded. There is even a movie about it "Unter uns die Stille: Rheine 78" (under us the silence)
I think what they meant is that more people living in Russia than Germany. Because i think its true that 83 Million is the second most people after Russia

the rate on which you can get into university is simply passing tests and have what we call a "numerus clausus" which is basicly a note barrier. In order to even be allowed to the tests to get into university , your grades have to be of a certain quality otherwise you may not participate in those test. The "numerus clausus" differs though. It is not a number carved into stone , but rather one , that differ from university to university , depending on the numbers of students , trying to enlist.
And bands like annenmaykantereit!
"castle" is also a matter of translation, eg whether only forts or also palaces are included, or ruins ... but overall, there are *_MANY_* :-)

9:13 To your Question. Actually we got non Bomb that explodes on their own. There are bombs that cannot be defused and must then be defused with a special water cutting charge. Every time, everything within a radius of 1 km is evacuated so that no one is harmed.
To your question about bomb explosions: I remember two cases. One of which was during highway constructions between the cities of Frankfurt and Würzburg. Unfortunately one worker was killed. The other one was in Munich (the town of which you said, it may have been Berlin). A very popular club (Schwabinger Seven) which had been located in a makeshift barrack had to be removed for a hotel for rich people. Karma stroke back swiftly. Under the rubble they discovered an airplane bomb. Tens of thousands had to be evacuated. The blast was impressive (there are videos on you tube). fortunately no casualties this time.
It is true that it is not a criminal offence to break out of prison. However, offences committed during escape are punished and are added to the remaining sentence
HI, I don't remember a bomb going off and actually causing a major damage. But I myself have been temporary evacuated at least 2 times , cause on a construction site in the neighborhood was found a bomb and had to be disarmed and removed. Only took a few hours though.
"HI, I don't remember a bomb going off and actually causing a major damage."
Never heard of this neither.
"But I myself have been temporary evacuated at least 2 times"
Luckily never happened to me even though they still find unexploded bombs here in the Ruhrgebiet what feels like at least once a month.
5000+ per year is an average of 15 daily ... just 2 years ago they finally built a new house where for decades they had unused earth/garden, and for another few decades only had a concreted area for parking. when i returned home in the evening, i learned that they had found three grenades just on the other side of my living room wall, just where we also always had parked our car, right in the middle of Berlin.
@@Anson_AKB oh wow, that must've been scary.
Of course, damage has already been done and some of the bomb defusers are dying.
Accidents like those in Munich, where a targeted explosion was covered in sand and shattered hundreds of windows. Or a few years ago, an excavator hit a bomb on an existing highway that was being renovated. There were even deaths there.
The story behind almost every bomb defusal is the evacuations in the area - residents, retirement homes, hospitals, etc. A lot of preparation by those responsible, police and rescue workers. Provision of emergency accommodation, transfer to other hospitals.
Then there are the people who have to be forced to leave the exclusion zone - doorbells, thermal cameras and helicopters.
Then the preparation for such a defusing can take a few days and on the day of the defusing it can take up to hours until everyone is allowed to return. Of course, roads (motorways), railway lines will also be closed and, in the worst case, even flight routes will be restricted.
It's really not "fun" at all...😮💨

WW2 bomb deactivation attempt in Austria: 2 death, both from the bomb sqaud, from 1 exploding bomb 2003 in Salzburg. I don't know how many death WW2 bombs still cause, but there are multiple bombs still found every year in Germany and Austria.
the castles have big gardens around with hedges and flowers they still are groomed just like the castles inside
If you are interested in the bomb situation there is a very good video about it, that explains it very well. It's called "Europe's Unexploded Bomb Problem"
It also includes footage of an old WW2 bomb exploding in 2012 in Germany.
I second this, great video. I remember the Munich incident very vividly.
It's very rare any old bombs explode unintentionally. I can't really remember when this happened last time. They either get disarmed or detonated controlled when disarming is not possible or is too dangerous. And it's not really a big thing with these old bombs. It's in the news when there is something found, but people are used to it. Sometimes there are some blocks temporary evacuated before it gets disarmed and removed. But there is no reason to feel unsafe in general about it in Germany. The problem mainly exists and concentrates around cities, train stations, industrial areas - places which was worthwile targets back in ww2. But as said, it is very very rare, that anybody gets harmed by them, although they get found quite often.
Rare???
2006 Aschaffenburg 1 dead
2010 Göttingen 3 dead
2014 Euskirchen 1 dead...
The list is long.
@@Holilo7 So the risk is 10x lower than getting killed by lightning.
Yes, there are occasional detonations of unexploded bombs during construction work or while defusing!
Accidents also happen when grenades, hand grenades, etc. are found.
In 2022 56.4 % (= 473.665 students) of the people born in 2003, you usually graduate from "Gymnasium" at the age of 19, enrolled in university - tuition-free.
A rough estimation is about 100.000 unexploded objects with some ten thousand bombs still under the surface in Germany.
In the city of Berlin only, they found 7.300 uxo with a weight of more than 50kg since 1947. And they estimate about 3000 more unexploded bomb, granates etc. in the ground.
Yes, from time to time, there is a bomb found on a construction site during the construction and not in advance, and sometimes (every five to ten years) the excavater hits the bomb to hard and we have an explosion on such a site, with casualties.
But in 2019 a bomb exploded by itself, because the long-term detonator triggerd the bomb after 75 years.
So every year, the "Kampfmittelräumdienst" bomb-disposal defuses about 1300 (metric) tones of UXO from the Second World War. And some of the bombs are 1000 pounds or heavier up to 1 or 2 tons blockbuster-bomb (Luftmine).
Many bombs are incediary weapons, that should have burned down cities and factories. They are not as heavy, only less than 100 pounds, but with lots of old chemicals inside.
And sometimes even this defusal does not work and also some of the experts died during their duty.
To the cars, the missed Opel, but that manufacturer was sold different times.
The Autobahn are just 5,7% of all streets and the together with the Bundesstraßen (Federal Roads) the long distance streets are about 22%, while about 50% of the driven distance ist done on these roads.
Heh, bomb defusal and disposal is indeet a "regular phenomenon" in germany..
And no, as far as i know, at least for the last 30 years, none of them had detonated unexpectedly.
Possible the "biggest boom" in the last decade was a few years back in munich. A bomb which couldn't be defused and had to be detonated in place.
In virtually every other circumstance, those bombs are defused an then transported to a factory for dismantling and disposal.
There was one found directly under an Autobahn near Frankfurt a few years ago while the Autobahn was reconstructed. Luckily it got get defused. (But think of what would happened if the bomb exploded because the igniter would go off one day because of its age! Cars were driving over it every day...) At the same time a bomb was detected and defused in a forest less than a kilometer away. Both procedures needed quite a bit.
Some years ago a WW2 Bomb exploded at a recycling station (was digged our and driven to the station unencountered) in Euskirchen and killed one worker. ua-cam.com/video/39XWo6rI-TU/v-deo.html
Additional somewhere in the south? of germany a bomb unexpected explode in a corn field (noone hurt) because of age.

But don't you mean the bomb that tore apart the worker and his excavator on the A3 in 2006?
Nonsense!
2006 Aschaffenburg 1 dead
2010 Göttingen 3 dead
2014Euskirchen 1 dead...
The list is long.
@@Holilo7 Thanks for the reminder. You are correct, sadly.
But we still cook with water 😆
To answer your question, it happend that ww2 bombs explode. Recently (September'23) a Farmer got blown up running over a bomb. It seams, that it only sets his field on fire but even fatal incidents happend. A few years ago, an excavator hits a bomb on a bridge construction side. The explosion vaporized the Maschine and the conductor.
Those "left overs" are still a problem. As they said, any construction side has to be checked. Findigs are pretty comon, but accidents are rare.
Yes, it happens, rarely, but it does. Normally at construction sites. Although most are controlled explosions, when they cannot defuse them,
Education: Depending of the subject you plan to stuy, you have to achieve a certain grade average level. It can't be lower than 1 (because it's the lowest grade) but eg for medicine it can't be over 0. Therefore most medicine students study in Austria where we don't have these restrictions yet.
Where I live, a bus was upended in 1998 by the explosion of a WWII bomb 5 m below the road surface; three people were severely injured.
And in 2010 three bomb disposal technicians were killed by an exploding US air mine from 1944, containing 500 lb of high explosives. The time delay detonator probably did precisely what it was designed for: make the bomb go off after an unforseeable time interval after it has been disturbed. If I remember correctly, the bomb was found on a friday during building works, and it exploded five days later, tragically just moments before it was to be defused.
Hallo Göttingen. 😁
If you break out of prison you will still be wanted. You are not automatically free. If you are arrested again you will not get an extra punishment but will spend the original time in prison. but under stricter supervision. LG from Germany
10:15 well, yes, but if you break something or hurt someone while doing so, then you get the additional charges, on the other hand, if you get the trust to be allowed to have a free day and are expected to be back before night (happens usually before being released so you can do stuff like look for a job) and then just don't come back, then you might just lose those privileges for when they get you again
I'm afraid that there is a mistake in thinking, breaking out of a prison is not a criminal offense, but that doesn't cancel the punishment, the escapees are wanted and locked up again and serve their sentence. But they don't get any additional punishment for their urge for freedom.
About the bombs: I personally only know of one bomb in Göttingen in 2010 that exploded during defusing and killed 3 of the people involved in defusing it. But I don't know anything about a bomb that simply exploded in the ground. I'm 55 now, so if one exploded it was before my time. In fact, this is an issue that we in Germany are very relaxed about, but probably only because almost nothing ever happens and all bombs, except one, have been safely defused. It's just annoying when half a city is evacuated every time a bomb is found. But safety first.
It doesn't happen often, but it does happen sometimes that bombs detonate on their own. And due to vibrations, such as during an earth borehole, for example, an explosion of an old aerial bomb occurred in Munich as recently as 2021.
Hello,
if I may interject on the subject of the car industry: Opel / Vauxhall is also an old German car brand, although it was taken over by Chrysler.
On the other hand, car brands such as Skoda, Bentley and SEAT still belong to the VAG group (Volkswagen-Audi company), Mini and Rolls-Royce were, as far as I know, bought up by BMW.
Also Bugatti for a while.
And he totally forgot Porsche!!! 😱
The "no charges" for escape is actually not a big thing. It means the escape itself won't be punished, but if you damage inventory for the escape or injure or kill persons, that will be punished of course. So technically the doors have to be open and the guards be distracted massively for this to work out without any punishment.
And even if the escape would succeed, that does not mean you're free. That means you'll get back into prison for your remaining time and won't get an additional punishment on top. Except you injured/killed persons or damaged any inventory of the prison for your escape, that would bring in another punishment that would be put on top of your already existent punishment.
Fun fact: Volkswagen has their own butchery for their factory canteens. VW actually produces more sausages per year than they produce cars. Especially famous is their currywurst, that is in production since the 1970s. They even have their own ketchup for that with added curry powder. Both have an authentic parts number. So I actually could go to my VW trader and order them there.
Bomb production in WWII was huge mass business - the bombs had to be built as cheap as possible. 10% of all bombs simply did not go off when they hit the ground and another 15% had time detonators which were set to start the explosion once the fire brigade came in into after an air raid and civilians tried to find some rests of their homes...
Each Land in Germany (equivalent to US states) has its own bob disposal unit and when some building here gets torn down to make place for something new, the building site will have to rest for some time (often months) for the ground to settle down completely before the disposal units comes in to research the area inch by inch.
The "right to flee" from prison sounds weirder than it is. Only the fact that someone escapes or plans to is free of charges. BUT: unless something really strange happens this can not be done without doing other crimes along the way like damaging others property, hurting someone, threaten someone, taking hostages and so on.
So if cought later all the other crimes will be investigated and brought to court and maybe sum up. Also the prisoner's record will have influence on how he might be treated afterwards...
So the only imaginable case of absolutely no penalty may be a hole in the fence and a prisoner creeps throug and escapes unseen.
there have been (very few) cases where some guard forgot to lock the outer door of the prison, or where someone was brought outside (to a doctor, funeral of relatives, etc) and started running faster than the accompanying guard, without violence causing no *_extra_* punishment ... but even that still would be punished by removing privileges or reducing chances for earlier release, etc because of bad conduct that violates the rules of the prison.
Some prisoners occasionally get to leave prison for a short time, with or without a guard. Sometimes it's as simple as just not coming back. Of course, once you get caught, that particular privilege will be out of reach for a long time ...
I'm not aware of an old bomb exploding while still in the ground resulting in damages to property or people. But, there are issues when they are being defused. I can recall one of those experts mentioned dying while working one of those bombs.
In case breaking out of prison you'd still had to serve your sentence. It is just that you there will be no extra sentence for breaking free added to the previous time. But, every damage and crime conducted while breaking free will be prosecuted nonetheless. It is just the act of breaking prison, that's not prosecuted.
As far as I know, everyone can apply for studying. There might be differences with countries that are not part of a visa agreement but in general you can go apply at a university or language school and then you'll be granted a students visa. The only issue is, that you have to pay for all the other expanses, like food and rent and books and all that. Also, you have to have a specific amount of money on an bank account for some reasons. But the education on the university is free.

There is a speed limit on German Highway "Autobahn" for certain sections where it is too dangerous to drive fast.
Normally there is a speed of 130 KM/h means 80,7 miles per hour, but you can drive often do 300 Km/h means 185 miles per hour or more,... if your car can handle it
The speed is usually not 130 km/h. It is the recommended speed on motorways without a speed limit that you should adhere to, but you don't have to.
@@catman_6674 That's exactly what I said, *cringe
About 5,000 miles of autobahn are unrestricted. Not THAT much. But fun nevertheless, esp. when you have a quick car.
My 30 year old Opel Calibra I can nudge to stay at 24 mpg going 120 mph. Could go 25 mph faster, but then the mpg go down and I do not want to overdo it too much at that age.
1 sad thing is if you find a treasure in your garden you have to hand it over to the government. If you find a bomb you have to pay to remove it
Germany is wonderful.....
It isn't illegal to Break Out of Prison, but they still bring U Back and Charge you for attacking cips for example, so Most Times you get extra charges but Not because of Ur will to Break out
Well, If you break out of prison you’ll not be free, as while the break out isn’t considered a crime, stealing the clothes they give you is.
And the programmable computer by Konrad Zuse,it wasn't a british invention.
Beer was a healthy meal in the middle ages because there was no clean, safe drinking water. Brewing disinfects the water. It had a much lower alcohol content than modern beer and was more of a bread soup than a drink.
the city was Munich. There has been a bombexplosion of a Worldwar II- bomb in the beginning of the century
About alcohol. When you are 16 you may drink beer, champagne or wine in public. Harder stuff is illegal till you are 18. Getting drunk isn’t very cool.
to the capital woith the WW2 bombs:
As I knew, there was no exploding bombs yet.
In order to recover the bombs, there is a special police unit that takes on this task.
Sometimes bombs can be defused on site and transported away for final destruction. Others have to be detonated directly on site.
These bombs are usually found when construction work begins and are disposed of immediately.
Today I also read an article that there are up to 1.6 million tons of WW2 ammunition in the North and Baltic Seas (grenades, bombs, torpedoes, all types of mines,...). These are to be recovered and destroyed over the next 30 years, as they are already starting to rust underwater and could therefore explode uncontrollably in the short term.
Unfortunately, the thing about beer and Bavarians isn't entirely true!
I know that I'm making myself a little unpopular with Bavarians, but there are 2 interesting facts.
Point 1: The german beer institute, in which the purity law for German beer was established, was founded in Berlin in the 13th century.
Point 2: I think it was in the 12th century when the beer brewers fled Bavaria. It was then master brewers from Jever, a northern German city, who settled in Bavaria and continued brewing beer there.
This statement is based on a conversation with a prospective brewmaster from the Berlin BRLO brewery in the summer of 2023 during a beer tasting.
If you break out of prison, you are not free. Of course, you must serve the remainder of the sentence for your crime. If you try to escape, the penalty simply doesn't increase.
the prison break itself will not give you extra charges ... everything you dammage you take with you maybe you hurt somebody ... THAT will give you extra charges
There have been explosions during work near the A3 AUTOBAHN close to Aschaffenburg killing the worker in his digger.😢
According to police, an unexploded bomb from the Second World War exploded during excavation work in Euskirchen near Bonn. The excavator driver was killed. Eight people were injured.
