Moin from northern germany Bremerhaven (the second part of Bremen at the coast). Looks the series by DW "Meet the Germans" about the German country (four parts split in northern, southern, eastern, west). Over our harbour traveled over 7 Mio people in 1900 to america.
Greetings and Love from Köln/Cologne, Germany. Good video. Intressting, so i subcribed. You mentioned Nikki Lauda(R.I.P.), he was kinda german😅...He was born in Österreich/Austria, not in Australia. Have a peaceful day, buddy
Germany has tornadoes but they are usually much weaker than in the US. Although the strongest Tornado since recording also happened there, but they normally are weaker than in the US. Additionally German houses are build out of stone, not paper and pressed wood, so even if a US strength tornado hits, the damage is far less and you probably never hear of it in the news.
I have never seen like a visible tornado, but heavy wind and thunderstorms are quite common during the summer. In a few rare cases there's also casualties, but not many, like less than 10, mostly of car accidents with trees. And unfortunately, we have flood catastrophes more often than in the past. But generally speaking, Germany is a pretty safe country weatherwise.
@@sash9868 I'm from Leipzig and south of the city or rather between Leipzig and Zwickau the occasional _Windhose_ passes through. never seen one yet myself tho. actually ... I think I did see a waterspout on the baltic coast before. some time before I moved down south. it's still somewhat a tornado. the water is just liquid shaped instead of cloud shaped.
Low and High German have the same origin. For some reason, people in southern Germany decided to swap certain letters. That's why the two no longer understand each other. When Luther translated the Bible into German, he chose one of the southern dialects and that is what today's standard German was. The thing about tornadoes is true. But Germans build houses out of stone, which is why only the roofs are covered, and in cities the electricity is laid underground. There is not such massive damage as in the USA. Germany has the largest population and therefore the most patents. But Germany can and must improve. Globally, it is too weak. Until the Second World War, there were areas west of the Rhine that France claimed for itself, but Germany claimed as a buffer zone to protect itself from France. A strong German minority also lived there. Today, no one thinks about war anymore and for EU citizens it doesn't matter which side of the river they live on. Latvia will have problems with the economy because it is so small. Companies in Latvia cannot grow big enough to compete with German corporations. No government will solve the problem. The EU is trying to balance things out by funding infrastructure and the like. "Everyone in NATO is a friend." Tell that to the Greeks and Turks, whose weapons are aimed at each other. The relationship with the neighbors is more respectful than friendly. Germany is not ruthless, but often their size wins. They have to agree on Germany's terms because they need products or infrastructure from there. In Eastern Europe, Germany has often acted like a colonial power. They needed the space as a buffer against Russia and had already wiped out states there.
12:00 That actually goes back to the Napoleonic Wars and the Rheinbund. You can even see that with the costumes of the big carnival groups, they look like a mockery of the Napoleonic Imperial French Army because that's exactly what they are...
Nice reaction, I will subscribe. 2006 my wife and me, we went to a vacation in Riga. Beautiful city with a lot of german history. We loved to make photos of these gorgeous "Jugendstil" houses, and we spend a lot of time at Jurmala beach. The food, the beer, the live music was great. Everything was very affordable and with high quality. The people were so easy going and friendly. We loved it there! When we came back to Germany, we literally had a reverse "culture shock". Because Germany is way more hectic and stressful compared to Latvia
Sorry to hear that, okay now almost 20 years passed by. Probably circumstances changed, but we never had the impression that the people are sad or depressed @@thebestman92-rq5xc
The video is a little old and therefore not correct in some respects. Some things, such as the bread, have already been mentioned. I would like to add to that. There are not just 50 types of sausage, but around 1500. The Germans are the bread, beer and sausage kings... We don't have any bears here, but we do have wolves, which, after German reunification, infiltrated from Poland via the eastern border rivers after they had been extinct for almost 200 years. He also forgot to mention that we have wild lynx. Not very many, but they do exist. Berlin Tegel Airport has been closed for quite some time now, since the new capital airport was built south of Berlin. He didn't mention the longest river within Germany, which is well over 500 km long. I would like to make a personal comment. I have a strange connection to Riga. In my younger years, as part of my non-military alternative service, I looked after an old lady from Riga (born in 1896). She had been through all the crap in the East since the First World War and told me a lot about her turbulent life. She even sang Latvian folk songs to me. All of this impressed me so much that I will probably never forget her for the rest of my life. She never had any children herself and no one thinks about her anymore. She only had one nephew in Riga, who is probably no longer alive. Her name was Feldmanis...
@@thebestman92-rq5xc Thank you for the nice compliment. I come from a time when books were the most important source of information. And I went to school in Bavaria, which normally has the most demanding school education in Germany. I should have mentioned that the river is part of the waterway that directly connects the North Sea and the Black Sea...
About half of the information in the video is wrong, there are tornadoes but they are nothing compared to real American tornadoes, if damage is actually caused it will only affect 1-3 houses that are slightly damaged. There are not 300 different types of bread (the number has been used in dozens of videos by the way) but 3000. There were no bears in Germany when the video was made, but strangely enough there are now a few bears in Germany^^. The health system is explained incorrectly, the history of Germany is explained at the level of a 5th grader. By the way, gummy bears are made from boiled pork bones + sugar. Foundet 1922 by HAns RIegel from the city of BOnn = HA-RI-BO
I .- living in the centre of germany - have already expierienced 2 Tornados in my life (45 years). Although i was not aware, that germany had more Tornados than any other contry in Europe. It was the first time i heard of it, when i saw this video. So it probably might be true, but it is not a well known fact.
Hi. If you would like to learn more about the Germans I would like to recommend to you four videos called "Meet the Germans Road Trip" from DW Euromaxx: Part 1 Northern Germany ua-cam.com/video/K-AbtBU3WzE/v-deo.html Part 2 Southern Germany ua-cam.com/video/Td8yxkH5XzE/v-deo.html Part 3 Eastern Germany ua-cam.com/video/jZtJdtXnOf4/v-deo.html Part 4 Western Germany ua-cam.com/video/zJBf9cTa_eI/v-deo.html Enjoy watching and best regards from Munich!
16:59 Mein Kampf is not actually illegal to own but was a bit tricky to get because the State of Bavaria helt the copyright since Hitler's death and didn't permit any more copys to be made in German but Hitler had sold his copyright to the English version before his death so you could always get it from there if you had your mind set on reading a very badly written book (not to mention its contents) for whatever reason...
@@thebestman92-rq5xc Yeah , it's a very common misconception among us germans as well, I myself learned this little fact (which has been confirmed by official sources, so this is no internet fake news) just a few years ago
I am 70 years old and have never seen a tornado in Germany - there are occasional small "whirlwinds" (Windhosen), but they only cause minor damage. To portray Germany as a country with tornadoes is simply wrong.
@@niederbayern-first841 was ein Witz, wir bauen sofort nur noch Häuser aus Pappe!!! die riesigen Bäume die es umgeweht hat, hat hier 3Wochen gedauert zu um alle Straßen frei zulegen. dazu kamen noch die Dächer. war ja nicht so wild 😊
I'd like to say it again: there is and NEVER has been a "purity law" for beer in Germany. For a few years, it only existed in Bavaria because the government there wanted to prevent the breweries from importing expensive wheat (which doesn't grow well in Bavaria), but Bavaria was never able to get it accepted in Germany. Nowadays, the fairy tale of the purity law is about selling German beer better.
...and this is also the reason why Germany cannot leave the eurozone - it will lose a lot of it's value and will ruin the economy in other european countries within the eurozone
@erichsuft6595 Germany is the only country that has benefited massively from the EU. GDP year 2000 2,129.7 billion euros, year 2023 4,120 billion euros. @thebestman92-rq5xc Yes, but Germany is not rich per capita, there are richer countries in the EU like Luxembourg.

Hello TheBestMan92
Niki Lauda is not Australian, he is Austrian. That is a big difference. Our Austrian friends will be angry when they read this.
Seen this on a bike frame some time ago:
Made in Austria. Mozart, not Kangaroos.
