Yes, at least in the 90's I'd say we had two real capitals.

@@Tom2404 its dejure Berlin, but defacto Berlin and Bonn

The Bundesverfassungsgericht (the equivalent to the supreme court or constititional court) is seated in Karlsruhe in the southwest. Therefore the definition at the end of the video applies. With Bonn you can argue, there are still some government agencies there and sometimes (branches of) ministries. The "major" part moved to Berlin though. Nevertheless, no one in Germany considers Karlsruhe as capital, Bonn might be regarded as one by a minority.

@@Bema1001 Bonn has a unique status, it's called "Bundesstadt". As you have already stated above, the ministries headquaters are devided between Berlin and Bonn and they have second seats in Berlin/Bonn vice versa. The "Bundespräsident", "Bundeskanzler" and "Bundesrat" also have a second seat of their institution there. Additionally there is the history of Bonn as capital of the BRD during times of cold war and as well, it's still called and has the title of "UN-Stadt", as there are several headquarters of UN insitutions. So if you are looking at it from an external point of view, where there is no different word for "(Bundes-)Hauptstadt and "Bundesstadt", you can come to the conclusion, that there are two capitals. When it comes to the "Bundesverfassungsgericht" as supreme court and one of the "Verfassungsorgane" beside the above mentioned, which has its headquarter in Karlsruhe, there is also a special point to consider. There are "befriedete Berzirke", I would say DMZ (demilitarised zone) suits mosts for translation, where public meetings such as demonstrations are generally forbidden, if the federal interior minster and the president of the institution wouldn't allow it especially. There are 3 DMZ, one surround the "Reichstag" as place for the parliament, called "Bundestag" and another one surround the "Bundesrat" which headquarters are both in Berlin. The 3rd and last one is surround the "Bundesverfassungsgericht" in Karlsruhe. This makes Karlsruhe unique against all other German cities (- Berlin). If there are some other countries in the world, which consider the headquarter of its supreme court as capital, you can say, Karlsruhe could be considered as Germany's 3rd capital, if you would like to make a general comparison.

@@PeterAuto1 Yeah. Just looked it up. Interesting...

The author of this vid explained that in this case he uses the definition of a capital city as a city where important state institutions are placed. In this sense, Brno is indeed a capital as well. Brno is a centre of the Czech judiciary, with the seats of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Administrative Court, and the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, and a number of state authorities, including the Ombudsman and the Office for the Protection of Competition (Wiki). So yes, to you and me (both being Czechs) it may sound strange, but the author is right :)

@@slouberiee well, by this definition it is right but where is it use in practice?

@@slouberiee @slouberiee No to sice ano, ale takhle to koncipuje pouze autor a v praxi se tento systém nevyužívá. V žádném českém zákoníku není, že by bylo Brno hlavním městěm kvůli tomu, že tam sídlí Ústavní a Nejvyšší soud. Ani to tak nebylo myšleno, myslím, že to bylo spíše z praktických důvodů, dříve v té budově sídlil Moravský zemský sněm a budova byla nevyužita. A navíc, Vrchní soud v Praze a Olomouci, ne Brně. Takže se úplně nedá říci, že by bylo Brno sídlem justice. Doufám, že vám nevadí, že mluvím naší řečí místo angličtiny, ale nemám rád, když se mezi sebou Češi (a Slováci) baví anglicky. :)

@@slouberiee if we follow that definition then the author should have other countries such as Switzerland where the judicial city is different then the capital

There are lots of fakes in this channel but today's one is funny: he simply mistook Bern(Swiss) and Brno(Moravia) ;) Those two cities have the same name in many European languges as they had the same name originally (in the Venetic-Celthic era). Another examples: Brest (France), Brest (Belarus), Brescia (Italy), Breskens (Netherlands), Brześć (Poland). [in Venetic language it means "outpost" or "edge", another name for "Venetic" is "Proto-Balto-Slavic"]

Brněnští zloději.

Going by that Germany would have 6 capital cities. The Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice are in Karlsruhe, the Federal Labour Court is in Erfurt, the Federal Social Court in Kassel, the Federal Fiscal Court is in Munich and the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig. So the 5 supreme courts are spread over 5 cities and none of them is the official capital Berlin. (Because we obviously have to spread out power as much as possible to not let it fall into too few hands)

@@HappyBeezerStudios I think the system is Germany is more like the USA where it's split into district. While in Canada it's based in Ottawa and all hearing must be done in Ottawa except by the means of video conference.

The logic behind that is that in standard political studies the three branches of government are defined as legislative (parliament), executive (government) and judiciary (supreme and constitutional courts), so by certain standards, if one of these branches is in a city that city can be considered the leg/ex/judi capital of the country. But yeah, I live in Brno and I'd never call it a capital city (despite the supreme and constitutional courts actually being here).

@@MolcanAnti Yeah thanks, *insert generic and cringy moravia joke here

Don't forget karlsruhe as seat of the main court, wiesbaden as the main seat of police force, pulheim as main seat of intelligence and so on and on and on. His definition of a capital city can be stretched quite a lot.

Yes. There are quite a lot of countries in the world that have some of the institutions in different cities than in the capital. And yet they were not in this video. I would personally not consider a country to have 2 capitals if all the institutions happen to not be in the official capital.

Yonko 04 im from Slovakia too and i think youre right

@Ron Lewenberg Well there is Czechia and Slovakia and there was Czechoslovakia. But not any more.

@@deepaktupac but in the video he said he would consider capital a city where there is one of the powers. PS the judictionary is divided in 3 courts in 3 different cities

Well, Japan has officially no captial as well. Even though the government is trying to publish a law to make Tokyo to official captial city of Japan.

@@NothingOfNoteToSeeHere Berne, baby, Berne....

Just to compare: Germany has a tendency to place national organisations all over the country. So our Supreme Court sits in Karlsruhe (which was some kind of capital some centuries ago), another national court is in Leipzig. Also some parts of the government are still in Bonn. Then we have Flensburg with the national car register, Hamburg for everything water-related, Frankfurt for the money and so on…

also the population of Prague and Brno in the video is way off. Prague has ~1.2 mil. and Brno 380k

Numbers in the video are correct if you include the metropolitan areas of both cities

@@jakubegermajer9841 Thats like saying that LA has 10 milions of residents even though its the numberof people in that county. The city of Brno has about 340k residents but the "county" of Brno (wich doesnt even exist because Brno is split to: Brno countryside and Brno city) has about 600k residents. TLDR: "County" of Brno has 600k residents city of Brno has 300k

@@brejlil I think you got a stroke writing the last words

Yeah, from what i know Germany never had a city that had more historical importance than the others. Wich is curious when you compare it with Italy, where the kingdom of Sardinia went to extreme lenghts to move the capital in Rome, wich at the time wasn't either the biggest city, nor the richest in Italy.

Bonn was the capital of West Germany and still tecnically is Berlin is in East Germany and was the capital of East Germany (the Sovjet zone) Berlin were dwvided into 4 sectors during the cold war

Actually Berlin was the official capital of both West and East Germany. Government of the FRG resided "provisionally" in Bonn (and parts of are still located there), while the government of GDR was located in the Soviet sector of Berlin (East Berlin).

@@semiretired86 But there is no _East Germany_ any more. Of course, there are Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern regions, like anywhere alse. We just have our Federal States (Länder).

It's more of a de facto/de jure deal because technically we do have two capitals, because of Brno having a important part of the legislature seated in it... and that's what would qualify it as a co-capital on de facto basis but in law and common sense it's obvious that Prague is the only and true capital city considering it has the seat of power of the government and head of state.

Better to use "Olomoots", as "ou" in words like doubt, bout, gout, lout, rout, mount are pronounced like "ow" in cow. And then there's "ou" in the word four. Or could say "Olomouts" with "ou" pronounced as in the word "you".

How is an English speaker to know how to pronounce "c", as no characters specific to that Slavic language are used. So, for example, in Czech how would you know when a C is C, Ć or Č? At least in Polish CZ is clear as no special characters are used.

You mean it’s affricate.

Bonn still has some federal functions as the president the chancellor and the Bundesrat each have a secondary seat in Bonn. Apart from this Germany also has multiple federal courts like the Bundesverfassungsgericht (Federal Constitutional Court), which has its seat in Karlsruhe, or the Bundessozialgericht (Federal Social Court), which is seated in Kassel.

Das Bundessozialgericht ist aber kein 'Verfassungsorgan', wie das Bundesverfassungsgericht! Es ist eine nachgelagerte Behörde, dass dem Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales unterstellt ist und unterliegt dessen allgemeiner Dienstaufsicht, was an dessen Unabhängigkeit in dessen Tätigkeit als Gericht aber nichts tut. So auch die weiteren Bundesgerichte, wie z.B. der Bundesgerichtshof, der dem BM der Justiz unterstellt ist.

However, because of the massive overcrowding of Seoul, one of the most populated metropolitan cities in the world, and because of its proximity to the border with the North, Sejong City was constitutionally established and has already received several government institutions over the last 2 decades or so, including emergency functions for the Legislative and Executive branches should Seoul come under attack or get captured. Much like how the US government always has a member of the Presidential Cabinet tucked away safely during major functions to preserve the Presidency, S. Korea has individuals in authority who operate in Sejong City to maintain government functions should disaster strike.
