      @105686269325623589958 Salzburg was part of the Holy Roman Empire when Mozart was born. So some people think he was German. It's all nonesense anyways. BUT it's a fact that Austria doesn't claim Beethoven.

      I'll admit that "independent" wasn't the right choice of words, but Salzburg was its own nation from 1328 to 1803 (during the time mozart was born), but it was also part of the Holy Roman Empire.
      Salzurg became the Habsburgs property in 1803 and part of the Austrian Empire in 1805.
      It was then taken over by Bavaria in 1810 and reunited with Austria in 1816.
      BTW I'm Austrian too.

    Lower Austria is called lower Austria, because in the middle ages austria was divided in "Österreich ob der Enns" and " unter der Enns", which translates to "Austria above the (River) Enns" and "under the (River) Enns". So Upper Austria is called "Upper" because its situated over the River and Lower Austria because its situated lower the Enns.

    • @simonweiguny
      @simonweiguny 3 роки тому +4

      Oh well, and I thought it had something to do with the fact, that in former times maps were not oriented to the north, but to the east... so upper austria had been placed to the upper side of the (hand drawn) map and lower austria was on the lower side on the map...

    • @EternalWordMinistry
      @EternalWordMinistry 3 роки тому +2

      I think what it is presumed in the much more concise explanation by Mathias, is that upper and lower was often determined by the flow of the river, since water always flows downwards. In this specific case the River Danube flowing from west to east, the river Enns as a contributory river flowing from south to north, into the Danube forms the natural border of western/higher/ upper Austria from lower part of Austria along the river Danube.

    • @dermaniac5205
      @dermaniac5205 2 роки тому +2

      This can be said about pretty much any region that uses lower or upper in the name (in German). Upper refers to higher altitude and lower refers to lower latitude (which then coincides with upstream/downstream of a river, since revers flow from higher elevation to lower elevation thanks to gravity)

    • @CaughtRedHanged
      @CaughtRedHanged 3 роки тому +12

      Well in short to quote wikipedia: "The Old High German name parallels the Middle Latin name ("eastern borderland"), alternatively called . The shorter Latinized name is first recorded in the 12th century. It has occasionally led to confusion, because, while it renders the Germanic word for "east" it is reminiscent of the native Latin term for "south", Latin australis meaning southern, and dates back to 2nd century legends of an "unknown southern land" (that is terra australis incognita)" and then turned to be the name giver for Australia. In the 90s some few postcards I sent back home, ended up in Australia, or sometimes, so I told them :-)

    • @thesmallestdaltonbrother2176
      @thesmallestdaltonbrother2176 3 роки тому +15

      it sounds almost the same because austria is not called austria. its österreich in german. there is no connection between austria and its true name. its just a mispronounced version.
      the name comes from ostreich, which directly translates to eastern kingdom.

    • @lifeofabronovich7792
      @lifeofabronovich7792 2 роки тому +13

      Australia comes from the Latin "Terra Australis" meaning "Southern Land."
      Austria is an anglicization of the German "Österreich" meaning "Eastern Realm" (it's still called this in German today)
      So it's merely a coincidence that the two country's names are similar.

    I have been to Austria once and really impressed by its marvelous snow-capped forests and mountains (it was in winter). Does it sound weird if I say somehow I felt some kind of spiritual connection at the time? I've got fed up with crowded places in China in the past 20 years and I really appreciate places as quite as that.

    • @Norbert_Sattler

      It's a bit ironic to hear someone say how quiet the Austrian mountains are in winter, when that is the time of year when those mountains are the most crowded due to tourism.
      Though I guess it helps put things into perspective when what Austrians think of as a busy time is seen as quiet by our guests. :)

You are just like it was just Germany like in every world war. Have some balls and they yes we caused one world war and we supported Hitler but this wasn't us it was another time and don't say it was all German doing. So many European countries supported Hitler mindset otherwise he never could have been this dictator he once became. But every country is just saying Germany Germany Germany. It's easy to have one you can blame right.

      @@ludomirsteinbruck9376 okay he self said that germans aren't proud to be germans. So even if in your blood is just a little chez or Belgium. German people say they belong to them because they are afraid to be considered as germans because everybody things we are murderers and racists. So how the hell do you think that they say we feel so German they all say we are Austrian because Austria don't feel guilty. Even Christopher Waltz who is half German half Austrian rather claims to be Austrian. I just wanna say don't always put your guilt just on Germany Austria help as well. It's easy to say just the germans did everything. I mean the hungarians sent their students to the KZ so they can watch how the get gassed but it was all Germany please start to think. Yes Germany started every thing but a lot ofthe other countries followed germany. Even Austria. The world is not that easy just to say he he is guilty and he not. And second point you didn't do it it is just the history of your country.

    The south tyrol thing was actually kind of different. Austria was a looser of WWI so south tyrol was TAKEN AWAY from Austria because of a secret treaty, the treaty of London. In this treaty the Entente promised Italy South Tyrol when they help them fight Austria, wich they did. They lost lots of other parts, the Sudetenland for example, where also most of the people spoke german.

    • @clemens379

      Italy had a tendency to switch sides in history, both in WW1 and in WW2. (They were part of the axis powers in WW2 and part of the "Dreibund" from 1892 until WW1, but switched sides later) And they got rewarded after WW1 by getting south tyrol. But nowadays, most south tyroleans don't want to go back to Austria because they got good deals from both countries, they can for example also use the health care system of austria in tyrol or if they study in austria, they are counted as austrians (which means higher quotas in comparison to EU-member states).

      @giuliopatruno7849 5 років тому +3

      Le funny meme That is mostly true. Due to the dictatorship there was a strong attempt to italianize the land that partially succeded. Italy in the first place didn't want the whole Südtirol as it is historically called but longed for the Trentino which is the southern part of Tyrol and was/is inhabited mostly by italians. I guess we got the hole of it as a "consolation" from the allies since at the time Italy was far more interested in the dalmatian coast (with italian minorities) that we didn't get in the end

    • @CaughtRedHanged
      @CaughtRedHanged 4 роки тому

      well, if you would have spent decades in this country (no, I didn't grow up there so I know the difference), you start to realize it's a metaphor for Austrian culture, much more than the German "spazieren gehen" and the English "going for a walk". "Gemma spaziern", implies: "we don't talk face to face most of the time (aka confront our differences or even debate anything) and use the surroundings as inspiration for casual remarks (or are they strategic pointers well hidden?). Bottom line is: to get to know each other without admitting it (which having lunch/dinner/coffee etc kinda would).. It all seams casual but everyone is scanning verbal (and often nonverbal) information for subtext. A relaxed tolerance of complete ambivalence (some may want to call it a bit oportunistic:-) is key in Austria. There are no German or English words for "JeinJain" (the spectrum between yes and no). But there is an Austrian one: "Eh". And without understanding it connotations, being socially accepted may prove to be rather difficult.

In the end it counts where you where born/what nationality are your parents are and so Hitler, born in Austria to Austrian parents, is.... exactly, Austrian. To me and to most everybody except, well Austrians, because they pray their "Hitler changes nationalities" mantra. Guess what, nobody cares, he is still Austrian to us. ;)
