haha Kebab in Sweden is dangerous! Many foreigner "restaurants" have to shut down because of bad hygiene. Many of the products used in kebab have missing labels. Labels that should state when it was manufactured. Date of expiry is missing. And worst of all, what ingredients are used. This is esp important for people who are allergic to certain food stuff.

I started learning German in England before reunification and hardly ever used it. Most people where I lived wanted to learn French or Spanish or brush it up because of the ferries to Spain and France as I lived by a ferry port. The German teacher was in England mostly to improve his English. After a year I couldn't find an improver's course. There was only a complete beginner's course or intermediate course for people who had learned German for between 2 and 5 years. Nearly every German I met wanted to speak English with me or, if not French. I have even overheard them trying to speak Italian in Milan.
I will never forget being on my own in Bonn for an hour (or two) with only enough time to get a coffee as I had no map. That was in 1992 before mobile phone maps. So I tried to speak German and a mixture of Dutch and German came out as I had been in Flanders for the past two weeks. The man behind the counter said I could speak English. He was from Pakistan so learned English before he learned German.
The most unbelievable fact is that Berliners GENUINELY wait for the Ampelmann to tell them to cross the street. They absolutely obey a light with a timer. No cars coming in either direction? Nope. They wait for an arbitrary light on a timer to tell them its all good. I'm convinced that if cars really were coming from both directions at 150kph, and Amplemann told them to cross, they'd do it and get smoked. Its completely insane.
On construction in Germany, having lived here for 6 years, I have noticed that public funded construction goes at a snails pace, while private funded construction is beyond amazing fast. Two ends of the spectrum in speed. In Kaiserslautern, the Amazon super-sized warehouse went from breaking ground to operational within a year. Whilst a bridge in Wiesbaden has been in construction for 10 years. One notices on road construction, they will have a lot of equipment but very little work. Occasionally, you will see an old man working on a digger, or taking a measurement, but that's about it.
You nailed it. The Potsdamer Platz was financed and built by Daimler-Chrysler and Sony within 3 years. It had the same building volume as the new Berlin airport, which was built and financed by the state and took 17 years to finish. The Tesla Giga Factory on the outskirts of the city was built in under a year, god knows how long it would have taken if the government had been involved.
That is beyond not true. Just look at the cold hard facts of Berlin creating schooling spots. Public build them for below estimated cost in record time. Private is still working on delivering the first spots. If it appears it is usually due to political misplanning (intentional to keep the price for their prestige projects low during planning, to later disclose the costs will be 10 times higher, which also is the main reasons for delays). This is pulled out of a dark place and couldn't be further from reality. It's the neoliberal efficiency lie. Most projects crash and burn with incompetent planners taking the lowest but impossible offer. After that you have to reacquire fresh funds, because surprise, those "cheap" companies lied on their applications. And lots of corruption as well that taints the perception. In reality, looking at proper scientific studies, private building is always slower and more expensive. But I know where you got that sentiment from. It's from a special "newspaper" that is very prolific on construction sites that spreads neoliberal lies about public inefficiency.
@@HansJuergen-ps8bt "Public build them for below estimated cost in record time." You're joking of course, aren't you. Aren't you? Let's take the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. 17 years construction time (instead of 3 years) and double the costs. Just down the road from me, the Platanenallee has been laid dug up and unusable for the past 2 years. Large stretches of the Kaiserdamm has been blocked to traffic for the past 2 years by public construction works. It took 6 years and still not finished to rebuild the ZOB on the Masurenallee in Berlin. When did they start building the main Railway station in Stuttgart? 15 years ago? Still not finished. I could go on, but I guess you've been embarrassed enough. And no, I don't read any special newspaper. I read the Tagespiegel, which anything but special and that's the way I like it.
@@mikethespike7579 Berlin Brandenburg was an intentional f up due to intentional underestimating of the cost and hiring the cheapest possible companies. That is a prime example how private fucks projects. Let me explain that. We are talking about megalomaniacs, look at Elbtower, look at S21. These people want (like the megalomaniacs in the desert) to put their personal Phallus into the City. Their will never be approval for such a Phallus if the public is properly informed about the real cost. This is a really old shtick. The facts about the Berlin Government building the Schooling Spots in record time and at low cost is public knowledge. Just google it, there are multiple articles about how the push from neolibs to grant private companies the contract to build a significant amount of schooling spots is a giant catatsrophe that is 2 years behind the schedule. The Berlin Government delivered their share of schooling spots according to the contract 2 years ago. We are still waiting for the completion by private companies for the same amount of schooling spots at 4 times the cost.
@@mikethespike7579 The Tagesspiegel lmao. So yeah not as bad, but basically on par. On a site note, you are talking about PPPs, probably not even knowing you are talking about PPPs, so proving exactly my point. I pointed out an example, where public build parts entirely on their own, hiring their own contractors. Unsurprisingly that turned out to be way more efficient and way more affordable. Even in contrast to having a private entity providing the exact same service, not even having finished it yet and at an astronomical cost increase. The private companies responsible for the remainder of the spots are currently seeking more funds from the Berlin Government, despite already being at 4 times the cost, for a project that the public has proven it is way better at managing. Every time we talk about one of those f ups, it's private companies scamming together with their accomplices in politics.
My first visit to Berlin was as a 17 year old exchange student back in the summer 1989. It was just me and my 16 year old German exchange partner (no adults). Needless to say, it was a different city back then! I still have my DDR travel visas to go from West Germany to West Berlin on the train (and back). We spent a day in East Berlin (via Friedrichstrasse Bf). I went to West Berlin again for a few nights with my full German/English class in the spring of 1990 (wall down, still separate), and the last time was spring of 1999 with my wife. I look forward to travelling there again, hopefully in the next few years. BTW - I love your content.... you have a great mix of funny and informative. Keep up the good work!
Gotta be honest, that unemployment insurance law in Germany have me scratching my head cause while it's great in that those disadvantaged don't suffer on the streets...the fact that there are these gangs taking advantage of it to such an extent just shows there are some major flaws in the system.
With that out of the way, all the other othe really cool things you said just makes me glad I moved to Germany almost 1.5 years ago and will hopefully come visit Berlin again

Usually, the capital city has the lowest unemployment rate in the country and is the most expensive city to live in. Not so with Berlin. Probably, as it wasn't the capital of West Germany between 1945 and 1990.
another less known fact is that the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) was back then the main gate to the city (out of 18 other city gates) AND that it was created after the Propylaea of Athens Acropolis (also the main gate). Greece has two of such main gates left (keep in mind that there were many 'Acropolis' - the one in Athens is just the most famous one). For Berlin this means: seeing/passing/entering the Brandenburger Tor can give you with this knowledge the relative realistic feeling of how it was to enter in ancient times (especially 500bc - Pericles era) the city of Athens (and the Parthenon Temple). One of the innner German known names for Berlin was 'Spree Athens' (Spree is one of the River in Berlin). The reason for that is that some Prussian kings were inspirated by this time and let build a lot of 'ancient greek like buildings' (from master builder like Schinkel). Many buildings on the Museum Island were also inspired by that (which is why for instance the 'old national gallery' looks like a Greek Temple (not just like a typical 'neo classical' building). Or the Pergamon museum (nomen est omen) etc.... Berlin has in general a lot of ancient Greek like (and later Italian) inspired cultural landscape in and around the city. Some kings liked to create all kind of dreamy places. Look for instance at the 'Normannenturm'/Ruinenberg. Or the Pfingstberg ...
I live in Sweden. Here we have a pizza called the ”Kebab pizza”, it is amazing. When I visited the UK (Scotland) I ate at a resturant where they had a ”Donner pizza”. I was like ”I will try a British kebab pizza”. Tbh I prefered the classic thinner kebab pizza at my local pizzeria. But it was cool.

If I had a penny for every time a German claimed Döner is German. No, it was not invented by the Turkish Immigrants in Germany. İskender döner itself was a thing since the 1800s and the street food version was a thing before Turks migrated to Germany in the 1970s. Immigrants just made what's put in the wrap differently in Germany to better suit the local taste. We do not put sauce on the meat because it hides the taste of the meat itself. We believe that if döner has that much sauce, the chef is bad at cooking and is trying to hide it with the sauce. We also usually pair it with tomatoes, french fries and onion instead of salad.
Döner Kebab (Turkish for rotating skewed meat/Drehspießfleisch) was invented in Anatolia, Turkey in the 1850s. Traditionally, lamb döner kebab is served on a plate with rice and grilled vegetables. In Germany, they have a sandwich version with beef döner kebab instead of lamb, served with sauces and salad inside a crispy Turkish bread. This is what Germans are talking about when they claim döner was invented in Germany in the 1970s. Both versions are very delicious. 😋
@@dr.dorukerdem that is wrong. its a Turkish nationalist narrative trying to redirect the 'invention'. Ask old people who visit Turkey before it was invented in Berlin. You had no such food. One can find in most cultures something 'similar'. No, the Berlin Kebab was invented by intention when the first fastfood wave spread around (Turkey was much less developed that time and had even not a McDonalds). The idea behind the Kebab was to create another Fast food variation for a 'Western/German taste'. Also all the technical infrastructure was made in Germany and later exported. The general idea to combine bread with stuff on it (just like also the German inspired 'Hamburger' - named after Hamburg (Burger = Buerger = citizen, also a cognate of Burg/Castle) was as rather iconic idea already in many cultures spread. In Germany already at medieval times. The Greek Gyros btw, also means 'rotate/spin' ... To rotate things is also an old culture techniques (but not doing that 'automatically' what for instance already in Germany exist in the middle age.
@@publicminx I have no ties to Turkey and no incentive to "redirect" any cuisine history. I'm just debunking an urban myth that has been doing the rounds in Germany for a few generations. The "dönertasche" fast food sandwich version was invented in Berlin and is actually my favourite snack but the Turkish dish döner kebab predates it by at least a century, obviously well before mcdonalds existed and had nothing to do with fast food culture. The old germans you asked wouldn't have seen anything like a dönertasche in Turkey because they traditionally don't serve döner in bread or with sauces over there. It would be more appropriate to say "the dönertasche was invented in Berlin", followed by an explanation of what it is because döner kebab isn't like that everywhere. Here in the UK for example, most einzelhandel kebab shops sell lamb or chicken döner from 100% mincemeat in a polystyrene container. You get another container with iceberg lettuce and another one with chips. You can also have a pot of garlic mayo and a pot of chilli sauce. It's a bit boring and has less flavour compared to the ones in Germany and is mostly sold to drunk people after a night out. People don't usually eat it for lunch. When you tell a brit "kebab was invented in Berlin", thats usually the dish they will think you mean, not the dönertasche. The first UK döner kebab shop was opened in London in the 1940s by turkish immigrants. The UK has only known the German style kebabs for less than a decade, since a chain called GDK (german döner kebab) started opening a few branches in major cities. They have flashy, brightly lit mcdonalds-style shops with self-service screens. Most people here think of it as a modern, hipsterized version of the "turkish classic", even though the kebabs we know here aren't the original turkish dish either. In Turkey, döner is traditionally also made from lamb, but with only 50% mincemeat and served on a plate with rice and vegetables. Much better. The döner in Germany is also a much nicer dish compared to what brits know imo. you get beef or chicken döner, of which less than 60% is mincemeat. It is served in a crispy Turkish bread with traditional turkish yoghurt and spicy sauces and various kinds of salad, sometimes including carrot and red cabbage. Love it! Very nice food but not what everyone in the world thinks of when they hear the term döner kebab and certainly not the first dish to be called that.
Doner with lamb, beef and chicken meat have always existed. Also doner meat was serviced as a wrap and/or as a sandwich way before turkish workers even went to Berlin. The only thing is that they put some sauces in it and its super popular there. Calling pizza american is as factually correct as calling doner german 😂
Please make a video about "When Turkish people visit Germany" or "When people from Germany visit Turkey"(if you want to visit Turkey). I am a big fan of you and I will come to Germany for living ❤
Yes, the "way of serving" the doner with salad and sauce was created by Turkish immigrants in Berlin in 1971. But doner comes from the older oltu kebap. Oltu is a small town near Erzurum in Turkey. In its original form, the meat was cooked horizontally and the pieces of meat were cut thicker. The current form was created in the 19th century in Bursa. 😋😋
no, the current form was created after 'fast food' became a thing. some ingredients are also not Turkish but based on the German/European taste (and ingredients delivery infrastructure). also the technical aspects behind that was exported to other countries (Turkey included). Apart from that: most cultures (also Germany) had already in history the idea of 'rotating vertical (and horizontal anyway)' things combined with a bred like backbone and meat/stuff on it. Gyros means for instance 'spin/rotate'. General rule: all those bread like combinations, from Sandwich to Hamburger to Gyros to Doener/Kebab to all the variations around the world are a quite basic food - which results in being very handy and have the most important stuff as compact 'to go' food. The 'to go' culture itself raised in the West (before that you had a different kind of street food one can sometimes still see in less developed countries)
@@publicminx What you mention is a generalized statement and/or finding and one that is valid to a certain extent but. Νο. The origin of the doner kebab can be traced back to Turkey. The word "döner" in Turkish means "turning" or "rotating," which refers to the method of cooking this dish. Doner kebab is a type of street food that consists of seasoned meat (usually lamb, chicken, beef, or a mixture) stacked on a vertical rotisserie. As the meat cooks, it's slowly turned and roasted on all sides. The development of doner kebab as we know it today is attributed to a chef named İskender Efendi, who lived in the late 19th century in the city of Bursa, Turkey. İskender Efendi is said to have popularized the concept of stacking seasoned meat on a vertical rotisserie and then slicing it off as it cooked. He served the thinly sliced meat over pieces of some kind of pita bread from Asia, along with various accompaniment. This dish became known as "İskender kebap," and it's considered one of the early forms of doner kebab. Over time, the concept of the doner kebab spread across Turkey and beyond, adapting to local tastes and ingredients in different regions and countries. It became especially popular in Germany and other parts of Europe, where it's often served in a sandwich-like format with pita or flatbread, along with a variety of toppings and sauces. Also Greek immigrants from Asia Minor brought the recipe to Greece at 1930's putting pork as the meat ingredient. Today, doner kebab is enjoyed worldwide and has become an iconic and beloved street food in many places. Its origins in Turkey, particularly in Bursa with İskender Efendi's influence, have left a significant mark on its history and development.
@@zambination11no, dont get confused with the naming. this is due to a Turkish migrant in Germany who liked to name it this way. But the ingredients like for instance the Salad (typical German Salad) you did not have in Turkey. Your story is a made up story (not that this is not vaguely true but the migrant itself did very likely themself not know about it - thats why made up) which could be done for almost every culture looking when a guy or even more ppl made something which looks a bit like a 'doener kebab'. The reality is that the Doener Kebab spread from Berlin through out Germany (and stil. l today there are MUCH MORE such kind of fast food stations in Germany then in Turkey and get back to Turkey. The 'kebab' stations around the world are from Germany - also the ones in Turkey. And as said: people who went to Turkey back then did not get a Kebab of this kind. They got something on a 'plate'. Same is true for many Kebab variations you have in Germany (and not in Turkey, even slowly also spread there). And again: some kind of combination of a Bread with stuff on it you find in all kind of cultures - also in Germany. If it was named 'Berlin Burger' instead of 'Doener Kebab' the discussion - even if it is the same stuff - was different.
@@publicminx Hahaha ok so.. NO (😆), i am not confused, no, i am not Turkish, no, its not a made up story but actual historical facts from various sources like the: "Food History Digital Primary Sources -Conrad N. Hilton Library" and "Culinary & Food History Databases - Harvard" and "Food History Collections in the IHR Wohl Library" But, if you know better. you know better!
You describe the crime gangs as 'Arab' The reality is that they are not all ethnic Arabs. Albanians, Bosnians, Turks, Afghans etc, are not Arabs. What all these groups have in common is that they are Muslims.
Geez 15 years for a building renovation or longer. Must be a bug scam for the local German to make money from. Makes those "gangs' look like amateurs..
The doner kebab existed in the 1960s in the UK. Turkish immigrants in Berlin may have popularized it with the Germans in the 1970s but the Turks had been making them for years before that.

One of the two times I contracted covid, we were quarantining at home when suddenly the police rang our bell at like 8 or 9pm. Since we had covid they would've needed to call two ambulances for us to take us to a hospital instead of the neighbouring stadium. So we stayed (we were on the very border of the evacuation area, and in 13 years I've never heard of any bomb actually going off so we felt safe and comfy at home)
Great video! Pity I'm too broke (and it's too hot) to visit Berlin right now. I would add that 1) the railway station has multiple levels (also for the tracks), like in Japan, 2) that there is a ruined church (WW2 bombings) right in the middle of the shopping district, 3) that as an innocent tourist I went to Kottbusser Tor at night and survived ;)

Döner is invented in Türkiye by Turkish. It has been around for hundreds of years. Our grandfathers ate Döner in Türkiye before some Turkish people immigrated to Germany
@@RadicalLivingyes in all types of bread too! The only thing is some added sauces to cater to the german palate. I find it really ridiculous and lowkey offensive how germans try and claim turkish cuisine for themselves. You need to stop
FKK was a big thing in East Germany, especially before reunification. In previous videos, you said it was mostly those in their 50s and 60s who enjoyed it the most as they were young in the 70s. I started to shudder until I realised that all of Rammstein were in their 50s until January this year when their singer turned 60. And he likes naturism especially. They made their Mann Gegen Mann video in 2005 when they were in their mid 30s to early 40s. In Germany, it seems to be encouraged, whereas in the UK, the attitude is more 'do that if you must' hence the World Naked Bike Ride every June. It is technically not illegal provided you weren't deliberately causing offence. But if someone accused you of causing offence the burden of proof is on you.

40-50 million euro just to erase unwanted graffiti from the streets...Wow...But it makes me wonder what the method is? Like do they scrub it away or paint over it? Also makes me curious how much graffiti is kept as art? Because some of it really is pretty.
I wouldn’t say that Berlin is the graffiti capital of Europe. Everyone who visited at least e.g. Athens would recognize that there are other cities with way more graffiti, good and bad bad ones. But yes, Berlin has some super nice ones.
Damn I lived in Berlin for 2 years and never had I visited any of those tourist spots, except the clubs of course. And clubs there are by far the best in the world.

Berlin became also on of the best food spots in the world. The reason for that is similar to why the French Cuisine became famous - vaguely when the renaissance started. In Berlin it does not just matter that you have food from around the world (actually multi culti is a very 20. century concept - with a bit more experience you sort the reality a bit different and focus more on what counts and what not) but already more next generation concept food - individual creations. And over time they refined in competition more and more every food which is why you get now often not a 'normal version' of something but a highly refined and highest quality product (and often in many variations). Thats also how the French Cousin (Haute Cousin) became famous. It was NOT about a special food but about quality and the technics/knowledge how to do it as best as possible for a full taste experience.
This bloke is a Swabien. His feelings about Berlin are often far away of my hometowns reality Like a lot of other "Expat", he live in a dreamland. How it end? Look back to the 1930ties.

Sorry, but Döners weren't invented in Berlin. They've been around the world in various iterations throughout history - but they are of Turkish origin, that's true - also known as Greek Gyros in places like New York...
Berlin must be the least German city in Germany. I am beginning to think it is one of the least German cities in Europe. Even Milan, Brussels, Antwerp, Prague, Copenhagen and Amsterdam seem more German than Berlin. We Brits will want to come over and look at naked people and drink cheap nice beer instead of going to Benidorm, Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza or the Greek Islands. Plus it will be hotter in summer than anywhere in the UK in summer because of the maritime climate we have as opposed to the continental climate in Berlin.
Berlin has an abandoned airport on which they could build housing to decrease their dire need for it, but it's being wasted as a boring park with only lawns though 44% of the city already consists of beautiful parks with trees, gardens, and lakes.😒

@rastapapulus: one has to keep in mind that Berlin is known for techno (electric music of all kind) but behind that stereotype of having 'the best nightlife' is in reality a diversity of different music, from high class classical concerts and orchestra to jazz, tango (especially 'tango argentino' - after buenos aires/Argentine the biggest scene!), swing, hiphop, punk, metal, rock pop of all kind, experimental. You find for instance also in all kind of esoteric stuff a huge variations (Berlin has for instance 'niche yoga' variations like 'Kriya Yoga' (usually only in Bali, India and a few other spots), masses of subscene diversity, from bdsm to independent theatres and music events of all kind anyway. In fact if one want know more about the 'depth' of a music scene in cities then you should not focus on the 'typical music' but how big and profound are for instance the scenes for all kind of music. And metal is in Germany compared to the world still a big thing in relation (together especially with Northern and Eastern European countries) which is why you also have the biggest festival in Germany (which is Wacken).

On construction in Germany, having lived here for 6 years, I have noticed that public funded construction goes at a snails pace, while private funded construction is beyond amazing fast. Two ends of the spectrum in speed. In Kaiserslautern, the Amazon super-sized warehouse went from breaking ground to operational within a year. Whilst a bridge in Wiesbaden has been in construction for 10 years.

The Tesla Giga Factory on the outskirts of the city was built in under a year, god knows how long it would have taken if the government had been involved.
That is beyond not true. Just look at the cold hard facts of Berlin creating schooling spots. Public build them for below estimated cost in record time. Private is still working on delivering the first spots. If it appears it is usually due to political misplanning (intentional to keep the price for their prestige projects low during planning, to later disclose the costs will be 10 times higher, which also is the main reasons for delays). This is pulled out of a dark place and couldn't be further from reality. It's the neoliberal efficiency lie.
Most projects crash and burn with incompetent planners taking the lowest but impossible offer. After that you have to reacquire fresh funds, because surprise, those "cheap" companies lied on their applications. And lots of corruption as well that taints the perception. In reality, looking at proper scientific studies, private building is always slower and more expensive. But I know where you got that sentiment from. It's from a special "newspaper" that is very prolific on construction sites that spreads neoliberal lies about public inefficiency.
@@HansJuergen-ps8bt "Public build them for below estimated cost in record time."
You're joking of course, aren't you. Aren't you?
Let's take the Berlin-Brandenburg Airport. 17 years construction time (instead of 3 years) and double the costs.
Just down the road from me, the Platanenallee has been laid dug up and unusable for the past 2 years. Large stretches of the Kaiserdamm has been blocked to traffic for the past 2 years by public construction works. It took 6 years and still not finished to rebuild the ZOB on the Masurenallee in Berlin. When did they start building the main Railway station in Stuttgart? 15 years ago? Still not finished.
I could go on, but I guess you've been embarrassed enough.
And no, I don't read any special newspaper. I read the Tagespiegel, which anything but special and that's the way I like it.
@@mikethespike7579 Berlin Brandenburg was an intentional f up due to intentional underestimating of the cost and hiring the cheapest possible companies. That is a prime example how private fucks projects.
Let me explain that. We are talking about megalomaniacs, look at Elbtower, look at S21. These people want (like the megalomaniacs in the desert) to put their personal Phallus into the City. Their will never be approval for such a Phallus if the public is properly informed about the real cost. This is a really old shtick.
The facts about the Berlin Government building the Schooling Spots in record time and at low cost is public knowledge. Just google it, there are multiple articles about how the push from neolibs to grant private companies the contract to build a significant amount of schooling spots is a giant catatsrophe that is 2 years behind the schedule. The Berlin Government delivered their share of schooling spots according to the contract 2 years ago. We are still waiting for the completion by private companies for the same amount of schooling spots at 4 times the cost.
@@mikethespike7579 The Tagesspiegel lmao. So yeah not as bad, but basically on par.
On a site note, you are talking about PPPs, probably not even knowing you are talking about PPPs, so proving exactly my point. I pointed out an example, where public build parts entirely on their own, hiring their own contractors. Unsurprisingly that turned out to be way more efficient and way more affordable. Even in contrast to having a private entity providing the exact same service, not even having finished it yet and at an astronomical cost increase. The private companies responsible for the remainder of the spots are currently seeking more funds from the Berlin Government, despite already being at 4 times the cost, for a project that the public has proven it is way better at managing.
Every time we talk about one of those f ups, it's private companies scamming together with their accomplices in politics.
My first visit to Berlin was as a 17 year old exchange student back in the summer 1989. It was just me and my 16 year old German exchange partner (no adults). Needless to say, it was a different city back then! I still have my DDR travel visas to go from West Germany to West Berlin on the train (and back). We spent a day in East Berlin (via Friedrichstrasse Bf). I went to West Berlin again for a few nights with my full German/English class in the spring of 1990 (wall down, still separate), and the last time was spring of 1999 with my wife. I look forward to travelling there again, hopefully in the next few years. BTW - I love your content.... you have a great mix of funny and informative. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much 😀
another less known fact is that the Brandenburger Tor (Brandenburg Gate) was back then the main gate to the city (out of 18 other city gates) AND that it was created after the Propylaea of Athens Acropolis (also the main gate). Greece has two of such main gates left (keep in mind that there were many 'Acropolis' - the one in Athens is just the most famous one). For Berlin this means: seeing/passing/entering the Brandenburger Tor can give you with this knowledge the relative realistic feeling of how it was to enter in ancient times (especially 500bc - Pericles era) the city of Athens (and the Parthenon Temple). One of the innner German known names for Berlin was 'Spree Athens' (Spree is one of the River in Berlin). The reason for that is that some Prussian kings were inspirated by this time and let build a lot of 'ancient greek like buildings' (from master builder like Schinkel). Many buildings on the Museum Island were also inspired by that (which is why for instance the 'old national gallery' looks like a Greek Temple (not just like a typical 'neo classical' building). Or the Pergamon museum (nomen est omen) etc.... Berlin has in general a lot of ancient Greek like (and later Italian) inspired cultural landscape in and around the city. Some kings liked to create all kind of dreamy places. Look for instance at the 'Normannenturm'/Ruinenberg. Or the Pfingstberg ...

I live in Sweden. Here we have a pizza called the ”Kebab pizza”, it is amazing. When I visited the UK (Scotland) I ate at a resturant where they had a ”Donner pizza”. I was like ”I will try a British kebab pizza”. Tbh I prefered the classic thinner kebab pizza at my local pizzeria. But it was cool.

If I had a penny for every time a German claimed Döner is German. No, it was not invented by the Turkish Immigrants in Germany. İskender döner itself was a thing since the 1800s and the street food version was a thing before Turks migrated to Germany in the 1970s. Immigrants just made what's put in the wrap differently in Germany to better suit the local taste.
We do not put sauce on the meat because it hides the taste of the meat itself. We believe that if döner has that much sauce, the chef is bad at cooking and is trying to hide it with the sauce. We also usually pair it with tomatoes, french fries and onion instead of salad.
I enjoyed your sharing all the fun facts about Berlin, I enjoyed your other cheeky "what happens when a ....visits Germany" videos. Cheers mate!
Döner Kebab (Turkish for rotating skewed meat/Drehspießfleisch) was invented in Anatolia, Turkey in the 1850s. Traditionally, lamb döner kebab is served on a plate with rice and grilled vegetables.
In Germany, they have a sandwich version with beef döner kebab instead of lamb, served with sauces and salad inside a crispy Turkish bread. This is what Germans are talking about when they claim döner was invented in Germany in the 1970s.
Both versions are very delicious. 😋
Thanks for the correction 🙏
@@dr.dorukerdem that is wrong. its a Turkish nationalist narrative trying to redirect the 'invention'. Ask old people who visit Turkey before it was invented in Berlin. You had no such food. One can find in most cultures something 'similar'. No, the Berlin Kebab was invented by intention when the first fastfood wave spread around (Turkey was much less developed that time and had even not a McDonalds). The idea behind the Kebab was to create another Fast food variation for a 'Western/German taste'. Also all the technical infrastructure was made in Germany and later exported. The general idea to combine bread with stuff on it (just like also the German inspired 'Hamburger' - named after Hamburg (Burger = Buerger = citizen, also a cognate of Burg/Castle) was as rather iconic idea already in many cultures spread. In Germany already at medieval times. The Greek Gyros btw, also means 'rotate/spin' ... To rotate things is also an old culture techniques (but not doing that 'automatically' what for instance already in Germany exist in the middle age.
@@publicminx I have no ties to Turkey and no incentive to "redirect" any cuisine history. I'm just debunking an urban myth that has been doing the rounds in Germany for a few generations. The "dönertasche" fast food sandwich version was invented in Berlin and is actually my favourite snack but the Turkish dish döner kebab predates it by at least a century, obviously well before mcdonalds existed and had nothing to do with fast food culture. The old germans you asked wouldn't have seen anything like a dönertasche in Turkey because they traditionally don't serve döner in bread or with sauces over there.
It would be more appropriate to say "the dönertasche was invented in Berlin", followed by an explanation of what it is because döner kebab isn't like that everywhere. Here in the UK for example, most einzelhandel kebab shops sell lamb or chicken döner from 100% mincemeat in a polystyrene container. You get another container with iceberg lettuce and another one with chips. You can also have a pot of garlic mayo and a pot of chilli sauce. It's a bit boring and has less flavour compared to the ones in Germany and is mostly sold to drunk people after a night out. People don't usually eat it for lunch. When you tell a brit "kebab was invented in Berlin", thats usually the dish they will think you mean, not the dönertasche. The first UK döner kebab shop was opened in London in the 1940s by turkish immigrants.
The UK has only known the German style kebabs for less than a decade, since a chain called GDK (german döner kebab) started opening a few branches in major cities. They have flashy, brightly lit mcdonalds-style shops with self-service screens. Most people here think of it as a modern, hipsterized version of the "turkish classic", even though the kebabs we know here aren't the original turkish dish either.
In Turkey, döner is traditionally also made from lamb, but with only 50% mincemeat and served on a plate with rice and vegetables. Much better.
The döner in Germany is also a much nicer dish compared to what brits know imo. you get beef or chicken döner, of which less than 60% is mincemeat. It is served in a crispy Turkish bread with traditional turkish yoghurt and spicy sauces and various kinds of salad, sometimes including carrot and red cabbage. Love it! Very nice food but not what everyone in the world thinks of when they hear the term döner kebab and certainly not the first dish to be called that.
Doner with lamb, beef and chicken meat have always existed. Also doner meat was serviced as a wrap and/or as a sandwich way before turkish workers even went to Berlin. The only thing is that they put some sauces in it and its super popular there. Calling pizza american is as factually correct as calling doner german 😂
I’ve never had Doener Kebab, but it looks good.
Please make a video about "When Turkish people visit Germany" or "When people from Germany visit Turkey"(if you want to visit Turkey). I am a big fan of you and I will come to Germany for living ❤
Yes, the "way of serving" the doner with salad and sauce was created by Turkish immigrants in Berlin in 1971. But doner comes from the older oltu kebap. Oltu is a small town near Erzurum in Turkey. In its original form, the meat was cooked horizontally and the pieces of meat were cut thicker. The current form was created in the 19th century in Bursa. 😋😋
no, the current form was created after 'fast food' became a thing. some ingredients are also not Turkish but based on the German/European taste (and ingredients delivery infrastructure). also the technical aspects behind that was exported to other countries (Turkey included). Apart from that: most cultures (also Germany) had already in history the idea of 'rotating vertical (and horizontal anyway)' things combined with a bred like backbone and meat/stuff on it. Gyros means for instance 'spin/rotate'. General rule: all those bread like combinations, from Sandwich to Hamburger to Gyros to Doener/Kebab to all the variations around the world are a quite basic food - which results in being very handy and have the most important stuff as compact 'to go' food. The 'to go' culture itself raised in the West (before that you had a different kind of street food one can sometimes still see in less developed countries)
@@publicminx What you mention is a generalized statement and/or finding and one that is valid to a certain extent but. Νο. The origin of the doner kebab can be traced back to Turkey. The word "döner" in Turkish means "turning" or "rotating," which refers to the method of cooking this dish. Doner kebab is a type of street food that consists of seasoned meat (usually lamb, chicken, beef, or a mixture) stacked on a vertical rotisserie. As the meat cooks, it's slowly turned and roasted on all sides.
The development of doner kebab as we know it today is attributed to a chef named İskender Efendi, who lived in the late 19th century in the city of Bursa, Turkey. İskender Efendi is said to have popularized the concept of stacking seasoned meat on a vertical rotisserie and then slicing it off as it cooked. He served the thinly sliced meat over pieces of some kind of pita bread from Asia, along with various accompaniment. This dish became known as "İskender kebap," and it's considered one of the early forms of doner kebab.
Over time, the concept of the doner kebab spread across Turkey and beyond, adapting to local tastes and ingredients in different regions and countries. It became especially popular in Germany and other parts of Europe, where it's often served in a sandwich-like format with pita or flatbread, along with a variety of toppings and sauces. Also Greek immigrants from Asia Minor brought the recipe to Greece at 1930's putting pork as the meat ingredient.
Today, doner kebab is enjoyed worldwide and has become an iconic and beloved street food in many places. Its origins in Turkey, particularly in Bursa with İskender Efendi's influence, have left a significant mark on its history and development.
@@zambination11no, dont get confused with the naming. this is due to a Turkish migrant in Germany who liked to name it this way. But the ingredients like for instance the Salad (typical German Salad) you did not have in Turkey. Your story is a made up story (not that this is not vaguely true but the migrant itself did very likely themself not know about it - thats why made up) which could be done for almost every culture looking when a guy or even more ppl made something which looks a bit like a 'doener kebab'. The reality is that the Doener Kebab spread from Berlin through out Germany (and stil. l today there are MUCH MORE such kind of fast food stations in Germany then in Turkey and get back to Turkey. The 'kebab' stations around the world are from Germany - also the ones in Turkey. And as said: people who went to Turkey back then did not get a Kebab of this kind. They got something on a 'plate'. Same is true for many Kebab variations you have in Germany (and not in Turkey, even slowly also spread there). And again: some kind of combination of a Bread with stuff on it you find in all kind of cultures - also in Germany. If it was named 'Berlin Burger' instead of 'Doener Kebab' the discussion - even if it is the same stuff - was different.
@@publicminx Hahaha ok so.. NO (😆), i am not confused, no, i am not Turkish, no, its not a made up story but actual historical facts from various sources like the:
"Food History Digital Primary Sources -Conrad N. Hilton Library" and
"Culinary & Food History Databases - Harvard" and
"Food History Collections in the IHR Wohl Library"

One of the two times I contracted covid, we were quarantining at home when suddenly the police rang our bell at like 8 or 9pm. Since we had covid they would've needed to call two ambulances for us to take us to a hospital instead of the neighbouring stadium. So we stayed (we were on the very border of the evacuation area, and in 13 years I've never heard of any bomb actually going off so we felt safe and comfy at home)

FKK was a big thing in East Germany, especially before reunification. In previous videos, you said it was mostly those in their 50s and 60s who enjoyed it the most as they were young in the 70s. I started to shudder until I realised that all of Rammstein were in their 50s until January this year when their singer turned 60. And he likes naturism especially. They made their Mann Gegen Mann video in 2005 when they were in their mid 30s to early 40s.
In Germany, it seems to be encouraged, whereas in the UK, the attitude is more 'do that if you must' hence the World Naked Bike Ride every June. It is technically not illegal provided you weren't deliberately causing offence. But if someone accused you of causing offence the burden of proof is on you.

Berlin became also on of the best food spots in the world. The reason for that is similar to why the French Cuisine became famous - vaguely when the renaissance started. In Berlin it does not just matter that you have food from around the world (actually multi culti is a very 20. century concept - with a bit more experience you sort the reality a bit different and focus more on what counts and what not) but already more next generation concept food - individual creations. And over time they refined in competition more and more every food which is why you get now often not a 'normal version' of something but a highly refined and highest quality product (and often in many variations). Thats also how the French Cousin (Haute Cousin) became famous. It was NOT about a special food but about quality and the technics/knowledge how to do it as best as possible for a full taste experience.

Berlin must be the least German city in Germany. I am beginning to think it is one of the least German cities in Europe. Even Milan, Brussels, Antwerp, Prague, Copenhagen and Amsterdam seem more German than Berlin.
We Brits will want to come over and look at naked people and drink cheap nice beer instead of going to Benidorm, Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza or the Greek Islands. Plus it will be hotter in summer than anywhere in the UK in summer because of the maritime climate we have as opposed to the continental climate in Berlin.

As a metal lover , I'd agree.
The Scorpions?
@rastapapulus: one has to keep in mind that Berlin is known for techno (electric music of all kind) but behind that stereotype of having 'the best nightlife' is in reality a diversity of different music, from high class classical concerts and orchestra to jazz, tango (especially 'tango argentino' - after buenos aires/Argentine the biggest scene!), swing, hiphop, punk, metal, rock pop of all kind, experimental. You find for instance also in all kind of esoteric stuff a huge variations (Berlin has for instance 'niche yoga' variations like 'Kriya Yoga' (usually only in Bali, India and a few other spots), masses of subscene diversity, from bdsm to independent theatres and music events of all kind anyway. In fact if one want know more about the 'depth' of a music scene in cities then you should not focus on the 'typical music' but how big and profound are for instance the scenes for all kind of music. And metal is in Germany compared to the world still a big thing in relation (together especially with Northern and Eastern European countries) which is why you also have the biggest festival in Germany (which is Wacken).
Why sad? I appreciate both genre of music. One doesn’t exclude the other.
