      Such footage reminds me that we live there and mostly don't even really notice stuff, because it is just normal to us, but other people travel very long distances just to have an amazing trip to somewhere they have never been before. I live in an other region, the so called "Ermstal" in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, but there are also tourists from the whole world and every day they make me feel humble and thankful again, reminding me what a luxury it is to live where I live.
      Yes, the brown dough of the "Schwarzwälder Kirschkuchen" is soaked in "Kirschwasser" (Cherry Liquor with about 40% or 80 Proof).
      The hat with the balls is called "Bollenhut" and it's kind of an indicator. Red balls mean the lady is unmarried, black balls mean married, traditionally both hats are combined with wearng a black veil. Until the Chirstian confirmation, girls do not wear a Bollenhut, but they wear the black veil.
      Steep roofs were not because of strong winds, it was quite the opposite. A steep roof made snow slide off easier, which meant building cheaper with less material compared to building a stronger roof. But it also enlargened the attack surface for wind, which meant faster chilling, which meant more heating, which meant more wood for more heating, which meant more stockroom for more wood for more heating, which meant more work... you get the idea. The later solution was a steep top with a less steep bottom which seems to have combined the amazing world of rooftops the time back then.
      Wanna know how they moved these houses? They literally took them apart piece by piece and brick by brick, gave every single item a unique number and then rebuilt it all the way backwards. You're right, they made it a LEGO kit.
      17:45 you found the "Maibaum" (maypole)

  • @DerJarl1024
    @DerJarl1024 Місяць тому +99

    Hello, I'm sorry to have to correct you. The houses don't have steep roofs because of the wind, but because of the snow. This makes it easier for the snow to slide off in winter and doesn't pile up. This means that the roof doesn't have as much weight, which could otherwise cause the roof to collapse in severe winters. Unfortunately, steep and therefore higher roofs are no help against the wind.
    That's why the older houses in northern Germany, for example, are built differently. They are often much lower and have flatter pitched roofs, because they are often exposed to the storms that sweep across the North Sea and the very flat land there.

    Great Video! Gutach is my hometown. I still live here. Nice to see the Vogtsbauernhöfe in your video. ❤ Hornberg and Villingen got these little waterstreams as well. Villingen is known as "little Freiburg". Hornberg/Schwarzwald (near Gutach and the Vogtsbauernhöfe) got a nice castle ruin with a restaurant to chill and enjoy the view over the black forest and the historical town. It is known for the "Hornberger Schießen". Which is very funny to watch. 🙂 Triberg is near by as well. In Triberg you can see big waterfalls and the biggest Cuckoo clocks of the world. 😃

    @13:55 The romans did not fear so much fairies in the dense and dark black forrest, but more ambushes from local clans hidden in the forrest, where their usual open-field proof tactics did not work, and they were in disadvantage. Back then there was more wooden area and few roads, so getting to somewhere was not easy for an army.

There are beautiful mountains such as the Weserbergland, Teuteburgerwald, Wiehengebirge and the Brocken. Many old towns with delicious North German cuisine and special drinks such as Frisian tea. If you are in Germany again then come to Northern Germany.

    just a little thought I have to drop in: All of the houses you´ve visited on your museum tour are way older than Neuschwanstein "castle", which was build and finished around the 1880s, which means that it is "just" around 140 years old and a relative "new" construction (they´ve used concrete to build many parts of this castle) compared to most of the houses you´ve seen in Freiburg and many other german cities or small villages. Thumbs up for this great entertaining video! Nice to see you here in germany and thanks for visiting and uploading such a great video!👍🏼

    The main function of the often steeply angled roofs is to keep snow from piling up on top to loads too heavy to carry. Rain and ice will also be channeled to the sides of the building to prevent possible injuries or leaks below.

    Those little rivers you saw in Freiburg are called Baechle and they keep the city cool in summer. Very useful. By the way, if you eat real Black Forest Cherry cake be careful, the cream contains some alcohol (cherry liquor at 40% alcohol)

      @@ChadandClaire hi, as someone who was born and raised in Freiburg and has a tourist guide as a mother i have to tell you that the purpose of the Bächle is not to keep the city cool, even though that is as very nice side effect. When they were first built in 1220 they were used to fight fires and mainly to get rid of used water. After the city built a sewage system the Bächele lost their original purpose. Today the Bächle have mostly a historical meaning and are used to guide rain water from the streets into the sewage system
      In summer they are definitely used to cool off, you’ll often see people sitting at the Bächle with their feet in the water. But be careful, if you’re planning on cooling off: if you were not born in Freiburg and step into a Bächle you have to marry a Freiburger Bobbele, a person who was born in Freiburg - at least thats what the legend says :)

    Fun Fact:
    This little stream in the center of Freiburg is called "Bächle" (what means a "small Stream" in the local dialect) and in the middle ages it was used as a kind of sewer system.
    Today the legend says, that anyone who unintentionally steps into the "bächle" *must* marry a woman or a man who was born Freiburg ☝

    3:30 the artwork in the stones usually depicts what kind of business you're currently passing. Scissors -> hairdresser. Pretzel -> baker. Etc.
    4:00 I went to school there. Unfortunately, my school has been torn down since then (Kepler Gymnasium, the old one!). It was kinda cool, on the other hand we never got "heat free" due to 1m thick walls...
    5:05 you got it backwards. The bird is a cuckoo and the cuckoo clock is made to sound like him.
