- TYPICAL GERMAN THINGS: Beer heaven at a supermarket for beverages & an icecream parlour in Germany// Hello lovely people, Today we're sharing the things we used to do when we still lived in Germany and that we love doing when we visit our home country. We think they are typical German things and we notice them even more because we don't have that in the UK.
Us Germans love supermarkets for beverages! The selection is huge and while we filmed this we thought this must be heaven for any beer love. It's so much fun!
The other thing we love doing in Germany throughout summer is going to ice cream parlours to enjoy a lovely ice cream. They are usually run by Italians because they make the best ice cream. It's a huge part of our culture now.
Hope you will enjoy this video. Kirsten & Joerg xx

![BEER Culture in Germany 🍻- [LEARN to drink like a local]](/img/n.gif)
We had a returns bottle system in the UK in the 1960’s before everything came in plastic. Such a shame we lost that and the German system looks so good.
I know, many people mention it in earlier videos. Wish they would just start doing it again.
Yes, I remember taking bottles back for the deposit when I was a child in the 60's. Shame we don't do this anymore.
Nearly all drink bottles even the one use bottles have a deposit of € 0,25 in Germany it has helped clean up the enviornment.
Living in USSR till 1980s we had such returning system too. It was glass bottle, old paper ( we call it "maculatura") and old metal ( we call it "metallolom"). I share your regrets.
We used to love returning the bottles for people as children and would buy sweets with the money. It's crazy we don't have anything nowadays, there is just such a problem with litter.
Germany is so clean and organized. Good system ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
...but no longer everywhere....
Brilliant, Germany is so organised.......and that bottle return machine being one of the many clever ideas to help save the planet ❤️🇬🇧
No, just more regulation coming out of BELGIUM. You as a Brit should be wise to that.
We have the same system in Belgium
@@claudinedenys5237 I guessed it was an EU thing.
No, the machine were a clever idea to save money for the store owner. It replaced people working there taking back the bottles.
@@steemlenn8797 well, that’s another way to look at it, but replacing people with machines to “save money” could catch up with us.
Everywhere you show in Germany is astoundingly beautiful! So clean. I could walk around in amazement for days! Thank you both for sharing your travels with us. xo
I totally agree!
Really is beautiful
I shop at the German based Aldi here in the US. Also my local butcher who makes great PA Dutch style sausages. I love when Aldi has their German week. I always buy the mustard and snacks.
Oh I'love the PA Dutch sausages
Mustard is a topic of fight here in Germany ;) Sweet one in the south for example. Hideous!!
There is none better than Bautzn'er Senf!
Oh ja das ist gut!!🤭😉yes I love Aldi too I am so glad they are here in the US a little bit from Home!
Hello Kirsten and Joerg. What a wonderful and beautiful country Germany is. I love the supermarket with a fantastic choice of beers ect, and the ice cream looks absolutely gorgeous. My late father absolutely loved the German culture and language and people. He would have loved to see you both. he was in the army during the second world war and spent most of the war in Europe. He became friends with a German family and they kept in contact for many years, they were a lovely family. Say hello to your parents for me and have a great holiday. Keep safe both of you.
Thanks so much Martin!
Deutschland ist ein wunderschönes Land❤
If there was a store like this in Ireland, all the shelves would be empty lol !!
Hahahah :)
I’d be shopping up a storm !
If this was Australia it wouldn’t be as neat and tidy and there wouldn’t be as much floor space in the aisles!
Unfortunately I' m lactose intolerant, but the bottle s
When I was growing up in the 70’s in England we used to have glass fizzy drinks bottles that we would return when empty to the local shop and get 10p per bottle.
We used to take pop bottles back to shop .when we were kids .beer bottles back to the pubs ect .for refund on bottles .our way of making pocket money .we even used to knock on doirs assking if they had any bottles .so we could take them back to get money back .im in cheshire.England .brought memories back lol
It is the same system in like Germany now.
And iy’ts true this beware the nature from the bottles.
The one use flexible bottles are going into a deposite system too.. and all bottles are left from tourists into the nature or near by the garbage- are restless collected from homeless people- bcz they get 25 ct deposit for a bottle
Im in a french german relationship and was more than150 times in France... they have not a deposite system and its visible in their environment
The supermarket and the returning bottles are very systematic. The town's ancient charm is preserved. All these are great, much appreciated.
Oh I love that bottle deposit system! We sure could use it in the US. Those ice creams look heavenly and what a charming German town! Thank you for taking us along!!
The german 'Italian' ice cream and pizza is so good because it got here by Italian immigrants.
Dies ist wieder ein tolles Video, ich habe jede Sekunde genossen! Wie schön es sein muss, in der Heimat wieder zu sein!
Vielen lieben Dank!
This was so much fun to watch, really enjoy spending time in Germany with you both 🥰
Thanks so much!
Germany is lovely. Thanks for taking us along, even if only vicariously.
That was a great video, I loved it. Everything is so beautiful, clean and well organised. My husband loves Germany and tonight we had VW currywurst for dinner! We also had their ketchup, potato dumplings, sauerkraut and a gherkin. We also had the curry sprinkle on the sausage. I bet you think they are rubbish but I think they are the best selling products from VW! I don’t know how authentic the beer we had was but it was Engel and I had light Radler! My husband likes the dunkel beers. We’ve just bought a campervan and Germany is now high on our list of places to visit but next week we’re off to Wales 😁
How fun! May I ask you what VW stands for here? I presume not Volkswagen? 😀
Wales is on my list of places I would really love to visit! Greetings from an American in Germany :-)
@@beccismith4454 Yes Volkswagen! They sold the sausages in their factory canteens and everyone wanted them. They are now the biggest selling VW product 😂
@@beccismith4454 Greetings 😁 I can’t wait to visit. We’ve booked a lovely dog friendly cottage on a farm near Cardigan Bay and we’ll travel there in our campervan. There’s so much to do there and we plan to do a tour as we head home to the North East of England. Where do you live in Germany?
Thanks so much Sylvia! Oh yum, we had to have Currywurst in Germany as well. That sounds like a real feast you enjoyed. How fantastic, there are such great camping sites in Germany. Have a lovely holiday in Wales.
Here in denmark we have the same sort of system we pay a small amount on almost all plastic, glass and metal drinks containers which you get back when you return them you can make a lot money buy picking these containers from the waste bins it is free money that gives you exercise.
Here in Canada, a lot of homeless people (of which there are sadly far too many) do exactly this in order to make some money. I think that it is a tragedy and morally wrong that everyone isn't taken care of by the State in general, but there are many who disagree with this point of view.
so civilized puts ROLW and the UK to shame
Just received this , lol .. have been watching all afternoon lots of other videos from your channel .... lol 😂 I am not getting anything done , I am glued 👍👍👍👍 always great to watch ....
Thank you so much for your support, means so much!
What a lovely looking place. The roads and the beautiful buildings. I'm hungry for an icecream now. Greetings from Ont. Can.
Wow! I've never seen a beverage grocery store like that! So much to choose from! I'm from England but live in the US, nothing like that here. The deposit system is great too. You are so lucky to be close enough to home to visit often. The European's know how to live...that ice cream is to die for and I love all the outdoor eating. Not much of that here unfortunately 😒
It's quite special, isn't it?!
I agree! I’m British and living in the US and truly miss all things European.. gorgeous architecture, great walkability, cafes, good quality food, quaint everything!
Yes, exactly!
Beautiful and so clean . Charming buildings. Black Forest ice cream looks yummy. Thank you for sharing.
It's so interesting to learn about different countries and though we live in different countries we all are still human. Thank you for sharing about Germany, UK and your lives. It's such a pleasure to watch your videos.
After many memorable visits to Germany, I understand how you must miss special foods/beverages, customs and the services infrastructure found in Germany. Breaks my heart to see the sparse amount of tourists in mid-August. Look forward to visiting again Oct. 2022 after a two year delay due to Covid. Enjoy your visit home. Greetings from US Connecticut.
St. Wendel isn't a very touristy place, it's tiny and in the middle of Saarland, you will only find locals there.
I am realy enjoying watching your days out while you are in you country.everything is so fresh and tidy.ive been to Germany .Belgium.Austria and the difference in the pride they take in looking after where they are is lovley to see.and no litter either . You are having a lovley time i can see hope it continues for you.take care.
love the idea of returning bottles and love the German bakeries - wow - the ice cream look fabulous!
Germany now in first place on bucket list of places to visit. Although not a beer drinker ..😄...the loveliness, character and architecture is amazing in these towns you have shown us. Also the shopping experience....bottle deposit system so user and environment friendly.
Thank you both so much once again for sharing your holiday.
I also shop at a German store in the US, it's Aldi & I absolutely love all the products. Thank you for sharing with us this great video. The water bottle idea is a great one! ❤️
Are people still confused that they have to bring their cart back themselves or did the knowldge spread by now?
I'm really enjoying learning about life in Germany!
Thanks so much JoAnn!
Love spaghetti ice we used to a fantastic Icecream parlour when we lived in Germany xx
Very lovely town ❤ Clean and so well appointed.....just wow! The ice cream looked amazingly delicious! I can clearly see you both surround yourselves with beauty.
Thanks so much!
Wow the ice cream is beautiful looks yummy and what a lovely village it reminds me of the Christmas villages they sell here in the states I can only imagine what it looks like there during Christmas! Thank you
Oh yes, St. Wendel has a lovely Christmas market as well, not too big but really nice.
So interesting the supermarket for Beverages, yes quite the experience an the system for returning the
Bottles and Boxes is amazing , looks so simple to get refunds, prevents people throwing bottles into nature !
Loved your walks in the charming town, and ohhh the delicious Ice-cream choices .
Thanks again Joerg and Kirsten 👏
Mary Canada 🇨🇦
beer drinkers paradise for sure!! Those streets and restaurants truly look straight out of a fairy tale!
You both look so happy , so glad for you . That amount of different types of beer was unbelievable , and the ice creams looked delectable but would need a much smaller portion 😳 What a pretty town and very well kept , I so enjoy seeing new places , many thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! I know, so much beer lol.
Lovely trip out again and so interesting! My husband, who has German ancestry, always says how wonderfully clean it is everywhere and I can see exactly what he means. He travels and tours a lot with his motorbike club members, I can't travel too far, so stay at home to look after my dogs. I have seen more of the UK with your vlogs than ever I have seen in person, this is why I enjoy your vlogs so very much! XXX
Danke schön für die tolle "escapade" in ihrem Land ! Grüsse von Bern 🇨🇭💞
Liebe Grüße zurück
What a beautiful country Germany is and so clean. I definitely want to go there. Thank you both for sharing your holiday with us xxx
This was so lovely to see, thank you for showing some of your homeland, can’t wait to see more! I wanted to reach through the screen and grab Joerg’s ice cream 🍦🤗
The state of Michigan has deposit/return on beverage containers. I recently moved from Illinois where they do not.
Oh my goodness it all looks so quaint and lovely!!! So enjoying these videos look forward to others. Much love from Scotland xx
Kirsten and Joerg. that was a real treat, I loved the recycling system and the village looks so peaceful and beautiful. I want some of that delicious-looking ice cream it made my mouth water, thanks to you both, and enjoy your stay with your relatives.
Going to Germany is on my bucket list..my mother was born there and also my brother in Bamburg.My cousin is in the family home still to this day..my brother and his family have traveled to visit. I don't know where your town is from there. Germany is clean and beautiful I love the flowers and window boxes that are seen on all of the houses there. Thank you for taking me along.
Bamberg is in a nice area :-)
Beautiful town. Still can't get over all the 🍺! That ice cream looked delish😁thanks for sharing
ICE cream nice... now I feel like it too 😃😋🤤🤤
Aloha! Thank you! Amazing deposit system! Beautiful bottles! Aloha!
Ooooo lovely. I popped to your channel a little earlier today to see if you had time to post again. St Wendel is a beautiful place. Those 'gelati' looked fabulous. Had me drooling lol. Hope you are having a lovely holiday. 'see' you next time, Bye for now. Stella x
Thank you so much Stella!
I loved spending the day with you. The Village looks so charming, and your ice cream stop had me salivating🍨 I was so impressed with the way glass and plastic is recycled. It should be a worldwide law‼️💓
What an absolutely charming town. It looked like such a lovely day. The ice cream looked utterly delicious. In Cape Town we're longing for spring now. Take care. Safe travels.
Always enjoy watching your videos.kirsten you look immaculate.it feels great for us to come with you sharing your culture and cuisine. Hugs from Malta.tc
“On tour” with Kirsten and Joerg, wonderful. So many new things to learn and see. Fascinating. Thank you for taking us along for the ride! 🥰
how fun! I sure enjoyed this video - and yes, bottle deposits keep the trash down. where I grew up they are called party stores. :- )
Is party store referring to something like an ABC store in some parts of the US? Where you get only alcohol?
These beverage markets in Germany aren’t really like that. Yes you can get lots of different kinds of beer and wines but also every kind of soda you can imagine and flavored waters and still waters and mineral waters and juices… it’s not just somewhere someone goes if they want to get drunk that night… ;-)
It’s also buying drinks for the whole family or for the retired couple for the week or whatever. 😊🙂
Thank you for another great video!! Now I want to go to Germany and eat ice cream.
I’m really loving seeing your home country. I’m fascinated by the similarities and differences to my country. That ice cream looked scrumptious. I’m looking forward to the next video. Mary
Nice video. Love that town. Thank you for your posting. 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you for sharing this piece of Germany! I wish the US had the bottle system! Beautiful town!
I'm a sucker for pretty packaging,I would have bought the beer based on that,lol.
I know, I’m the same especially because I don’t drink alcohol but we bought some of the beer because I loved the packaging.
The town is so beautiful.
Hello Kirsten and Joerg how amazing was that beverage store I've never seen anything like it ! We don't have anything like that in Britain do we ? The recycling idea is so organised too ,we Brits should adopt that idea . My husband said " The more I hear about that Joerg chap the more I'm liking him . He likes a drink and loves his food , just like me " So there you have it Joerg ,your new best friend ! 😂😂
This came about because I showed him your ice creams ......delicious .I have never seen Germany but I can't get over how clean it is .Is everywhere like that ?Thank you so much Gor this video ,it's nice to see where your homeland is . Enjoy the rest of your stay in Germany Love to you both until next time xx💕
Thanks so much Barbara! We do notice that Germany in general is a bit cleaner than the UK but there are definitely also places that are less clean and less nice. The area where Joerg comes from (Baden-Württemberg) is usually even cleaner than where I come from (Saarland).
It is possible to find litter here in Germany, too.… But as a whole it’s pretty picked up
Thanks so much for the lovely visit! I miss Germany, would love to visit again.
Thank you for sharing Germany!!! fantastic
What a lovely town. It looks so beautiful and peaceful.
That small downtown
in Germany was beautiful and clean. Love the supermarket it reminds me like a Costco. Great selection. Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful town! And, oh my! What a beverage supermarket! I have never seen anything like that! Can you drink the tap water in Germany?
Yes, you can also drink the tap water in Germany.
All the places joergs bag has gone. If it could talk. 😉. I really enjoy seeing Germany in your videos. Ty for taking the time to do them while you visit your family.
Oh yes, that's really true - thanks so much!
Wahnsinn, der Getränkemarkt. Da kann man sich ja verlaufen😃. Danach hat man sich ein leckeres Eis verdient 🍧. St. Wendel ist echt schön😻 . Einen schönen Urlaub mit eurer Familie wünschen Regina & Jörg 🍨☀️
Ja, der ist wirklich groß, man findet einfach alles. Ganz liebe Grüße und vielen Dank!
What a beautiful town😍 the ice cream looks so delicious, one of my favorite brand is ICE DATE a german vegan brand made with cashew nuts, soooo delicious. Danke schon for sharing, enjoy your vacation and family😉
Oh need to check out the brand, thanks so much for the tip!
I thank you for the tip, as well! Maybe I will see it somewhere here, also in Germany. There are some very good vegan ice creams out there!
@@KirstenJoerg @Becci Smith You're welcome😊 there are two stores in Munich and here in France i find them in my organic store😉
@@beccismith4454 😉
I remember my grandparents serving me children's beer (beer mixed with soda) when I was about four years old. They were Germans from Romania.
There was a time in the US when you could return glass soda bottles for money but that was long ago. Germany has a brilliant system! Pity I don’t speak German! That ice cream looks divine!!
Joerg how do you stay so slim 🤔 now I will watch and enjoy the rest of the video 😁
We walk A LOT and definitely don't have that every day :)
I'm loving the idea of a 'Beer Arena'! The town is really pretty, and those ice-creams..!!
I loved it your ice cream’s look delicious my husband was stationed in Germany for four years and he said he loved their beer. He would’ve loved going through that store and the buildings are beautiful I just loved every bit of it thank you so much.💞
Germany is quite quaint and beautiful. Thank you for sharing …,❤️
St. Wendel is such a lovely town! My husband and I had quite a vicarious thrill seeing your ice cream selections. Yum! 😁
Schöner Vortrag über einen Getränkemarkt und das Eis war echt lecker 😁. St. Wendel scheint ein netter Ort zu sein. Genießt euren Urlaub, damit ihr noch lange daran denken könnt. Sind gerade auch im Urlaub in der Nähe von Sigmaringen. Hat sich viel getan in den letzten acht Jahren. Noch eine schöne Zeit im good old Germany und bis zum nächsten Mal, eure Annette 🇩🇪😍👍
Vielen lieben Dank! Oh Jörg kommt ja ganz aus der Nähe von Sigmaringen. Habt auch eine schöne Zeit!
This was so fun to watch. It reminded me of my three visits to Germany, where I (a non-beer drinker) drank more beer than I had in my entire life! I remember drinking beer instead of water. Germany is one of my favorite places to visit and I'll definitely go back again. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the beautiful visit to St. Wendel. After reading some of the comments I am reminded how different one locality may be from the other. I live in New Jersey in the USA and we have mandatory recycling in our county (Burlington). If you put your recycling in with the trash you can expect a note advising you of the proper protocol. Unfortunately, there is no individual reimbursement but the township you live in saves on the costs of trash pickup and monies go to the local government from the recycling centers further saving us tax dollars. The down side is there is still alot of trash on roads and public areas. Here, we have beverage businesses and some are quite large. They need special licenses to do business that are quite expensive and are usually obtained through a bidding process. Only relatively recently have food stores been approved for selling beer, wine and spirits ( I'm 71 years old). Long before that when we traveled out of our state we encountered many food stores selling alcohol of all kinds especially when we traveled south to Virginia to visit my husband's family.
Here in Germany we also have trash recycling at the homes for packaging, some kind of juice bottles etc. that are not with a deposit, also separate for paper and for organic trash as well as “the rest” (not including really bulky things or electronics etc.)… I believe pick up of the recycling bins is complementary, which encourages proper recycling, and you pay for each time that you have the “rest“ bin picked up. The deposit on individual bottles is for reusable bottles primarily, although now many soda bottles are collected in these machines (placing them individually in the hole to the left of where the receipt came out in the video, that’s also where you put individual bottles with deposit, if you don’t have a box) and are crushed immediately, but all the same kind of plastic I’m guessing, so easier to recycle and reuse the plastic. 🙂
Thank Kirsten & Joerg; always so interesting. The ice cream looks sinfully delicious!🌞
Hi again from this American in Germany! I am in a different part of the country and we also have these “beverage supermarkets“ although they are not always that big! There’s actually a little one right on my street. And no machine, you Bring your boxes and bottles and the person working there counts it up and can see the money back or takes the amount off of what else you buy.
I find the system wonderful although I don’t use it very much! I love our tapwater which in our area is really really good, and I am very happy drinking that most of the time! I’m not a beer drinker particularly and hardly any sodas or anything so it’s a rare thing I’m going to such a market! And we have two places in our smallest town where they make their own ice cream! Not Italians, Germans. And it’s really very good! I think I prefer it to the “Italian ice cream“ cafés, actually! Coming from the States I came with a very different expectation of what ice cream is like and how it is served, and the Italian places were not necessarily to my taste when I visited them in western Germany years ago with a friend! He was thrilled with all the (quite soft?) ice cream with fresh fruit on it etc., and I wanted solid ice cream with peanuts and chocolate sauce! 🤣 And that was hard to find on their menu! 🍨🧐 😄 lol
Jörg‘s ice cream sundae looks quite good! Chocolate and cherries looks delicious.
What a picturesque little town! The beverage warehouse/store was well stocked it seems, ha! ha! I love to look at labels on various wine bottles as they are often small works of art. It appears that you are both having a good time revisiting some of your previous haunts. XO
What a fascinating video! I love the idea of the "big Box" beverage store. It's so efficient but I think the selection might be a bit overwhelming. The deposit system is great too. Here in Canada, there are 'bottle depots' but they are not mechanized. I love the town tour. The architecture and the cobbled pedestrian streets have so much character! There were hardly any cars - or people. What a lovely shopping experience that would be! So relaxing and unhurried! Nice treats at the ice cream shoppe!
Such historic downtown areas are often vehicle restricted, either just for pedestrians or only for certain kinds of cars or whatever. And since Covid there are I think less people on the streets still…
Love it all,it is home.Miss it very much.
Love the bottle contraption!
It's a happy day when there's a new Kirsten & Jörg video! Not a beer drinker myself, but that store looked like heaven for anyone who is! Thanks to Jörg's recommendation, my husband tried the Rothaus Tannen Zäpfle, and now it's one of his favorite beers! Love shopping with you two 💕🍺🍧😊
Thanks so much Deborah! Oh they do have so much there, also great lemonade - you can find anything basically.
Beautiful buildings.Thank-you for showing us around.
Danke sehr. 😊
So beautiful! Thank you for taking us with you! xx
Thank you for your showing me your beautiful country!🥰
Lovely town and delicious ice cream , enjoy the trip...
A charming vlog as usual. Is it your intention to return to live in your homeland in the future ? Germany looks a wonderful country & you must miss it a lot.
Thanks so much! Not at this point as we work in the UK but we love both countries.
@@KirstenJoerg So nice that they are really quite close to each other!
Hi Kirsten,
My hubby and I love watching your adventures! We check every night to see if you have posted to the channel. Hope you are enjoying your family time, and looking forward to your next post.
Elle and Bill
Thanks so much Elle and Bill! We usually post Tuesdays and Fridays (so a new video just went live); we just took a bit of a break and cut back during our time in Germany so we could enjoy the time with our family. Have a lovely evening.
Thank you for all your videos. I find this one very interesting and I love the little town, so pretty.
Brilliant bottle recycling program! I live in central Illinois, USA; We have a huge liquor store called "Friar Tuck" that your store reminded me if. It's fun to see all the different beers, wine, and other drinks from around the world 😊
What a beautiful town! Love all the outdoor cafes☀️
Beautiful!
Love the serenity of St. Wendell.
I really enjoyed this video you guys are wholesome
Thanks so much!
Danke für die Tips.
Nächstes Mal in Imgenbroich( Monschau) gehe ich Mal für meinen Mann,auf der Suche nach ein gutes Bier👍.
Geniesse die Zeit mit eure Familie,und eure Ferien👍😘. Stay safe

Hello there, Kirsten and Joerg!
Thank you for sharing your lovely German day with us. I found it was both interesting and relaxing and oh! those Italian ice cream treats looked good!!
Enjoyed the tour! See you on the next one!
That was such a relaxing video. Fun to go beer shopping with you. The town looks so sweet and the ice cream loos wonderful ( all about the whipping cream!) 🍨🍦🍨🍦🍨🍦
