    I just came back from a medieval festival in Meersburg at Lake Constance / Bodensee, and I am surprised by the enthusiasm so many people put into medieval costume, with huge axes and swords and Gandalf-style giant wooden wand ---- not just by young people, but also elderly and entire family with kids dressing up for the event.

      I know right! They seem to really try to make them historical.

    0:27 St. Martin's Church bell tower has a height of 130.6 m (428 ft). Since 1500 the highest brick building on this planet. Not counting a few chimneys, which have however normally also steel supports. Just an indication that Landshut was in medieval times an important city.

    I used to live in the Uk (for 8 years until Brexit) and I'm sure there must have been medieval festivals there too but I can't remember any...The ones in Germany are brilliant though, especially the medieval Christmas markets!

      We actually talk about this all the time! There are so many remnants of medieval history all over Britain, but not a lot of these festivals. Surely there must be some. I haven't seen the same enthusiasm for big community oriented cultural festivals in the UK in general though... :,)

    Ich hoffe, dass ihr auch bei dem traditionellen Trachtenumzug am ersten Sonntag des Oktoberfests gewesen seid. Der beste Platz, diesen tollen Umzug zu erleben, ist übrigens der Odeonsplatz. Für die eingeladenen Trachtenvereine (aus ganz Europa) ist die Teilnahme eine ganz besondere Ehre und der Höhepunkt des Jahres!

      No, we weren't! That sounds really cool though. We will have to go next year.

      This is really a very nice video, it's very good to see that you Americans really like it here in Germany, especially in Bavaria and also in Landshut, because it's always said that we Germans aren't that popular in the world. It's just a video like this really nice to look at. Thank you for this nice clip. Greetings from Landshut
