Ah #Germany. This was a fun video to make, even if it was at 1:30 in the morning and I had to be a little quiet so Kaleb and Jilian wouldn't be bothered through my thin walls. Thanks to all the Germans that helped with this episode, obviously I couldn't cover everything about every state so if you'd like to add anything, TEACH US! Put it in the comments! ALSO KEITH WILL BE IN A SPECIAL 2ND FILLER WEEK VIDEO! STAY TUNED!

Good that you mentioned our 17th federal state Mallorca.

Im Saarland sind alle Stammbäume rund.

Saarland: Frenchie Germans Luxembourg: am I a joke to you?

"The link between Human and Austrian" what a wise man.

In Northern Germany you say "Moin!", because "Moin moin!" is already too much talking.^^

Saarland is like the Alabama of Germany lol

I lived 5 years in Kiel and the first thing I learned is: ''Moin moin'' is oversharing. You can be that talkative in Hamburg, but not in Schleswig-Holstein. A simple 'Moin' is more than enough.

Germans see „german“ title. All germans: ZUGRIFF

i just love how youtube captions translated your pronunciation of "otto von bismarck" as "autobahn bismarck". gave me quite the chuckle.

Never in my life have I heard a description of Berlin that accurate

English : out of order German : Außer Betrieb Swabian (german dialect) : Des Glomp isch he

Fun fact: Hamburg has more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam.

Bavaria is the Texas of Germany.

Fun Fact: Hamburg has 2000+ more bridges than venice.

Correction: He wasn't called "Autobahn Bismarck", but "Otto von Bismarck" ;-)

>Black Forest >Swabian Culture As a Badener I feel slightly offended

*SOME* have unique dialects. Boi We have different dialect for every city and small towns. Most likely a thousand dialects.

Die letzten Worte von König Ludwig waren übrigens: "I glaub i geh ins Wasser"

Him: Everyone in Saarland can speak french. Me: Living there since I was 4, taking french for 8 years, not knowing how to say my name. Well.....

Düsseldorf! *shows a picture of Cologne*

How to piss off the Dutch: Make them wait another week for their episode and talk about their favourite enemy during the filler week. ;)

02:42 Fun fact: King Ludwig II built the castle Neuschwanstein, wich was a big inspiration for the Disney castle/ Cinderella's castle.

Video mit "Germany" im Titel. Deutsche: EIN VOLK, EIN REICH, EIN KOMMENTARBEREICH

So i‘m living in the party State of germany, though im sitting in my bedroom on saturday evening and watch a Video about things i already now

8:56 "capital: Düsseldorf" *shows picture of cologne* Ps you don't habe to comment that you hate Düsseldorf or cologne

5:50 Im from Bremen and the "memorial block" isnt dedicated to her as a person, it actually marks the spot of her execution which was the last ever in Bremen.

loool. That Berlin roast was hilarious and so accurate 😂

Swabians have the wierdest dialect Bavarians: Hold my Dirndl

Don't get confused, because there are two Frankfurts: Frankfurt am Main and Frankfurt an der Oder 😅😂🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm from Schleswig-Holstein and it's true. We don't speak a lot. That's why we only say "Moin". "Moin Moin" would be way too talkative.

1:13 Baden-Württemberg 2:13 Bayern / Bavaria 3:14 Berlin 4:20 Brandenburg 5:11 Bremen 6:00 Hamburg 6:46 Hessen / Hesse 7:27 Niedersachsen / Lower Saxony 8:06 Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 8:56 Nordrhein-Westfalen / North Rhineland Westphalia 9:35 Rheinland-Pfalz / Rhineland-Palatinate 10:04 Saarland 10:45 Sachsen / Saxony 11:40 Sachsen-Anhalt / Saxony-Anhalt 12:18 Schleswig-Holstein 13:03 Thüringen / Thuringia 13:55 Two Other Things Lmk if I made any errors w the state names, I’m not from Germany.

It ain't "Rhineland-Westphalia", it's "North Rhine-Westphalia". But still awesome video🌝

In Wirklichkeit wollen wir einfach nur das Saarland gegen Elsass Lothringen eintauschen.

3:10 When you're so caught up between Germany's international image and history, that "Otto von Bismarck" becomes "Otto ban Vismarck aka. Auto bahn Vismarck" edit: closer to 3:09 actually

11:38 "the two saxony's have nothing to do with each other '' (MENTIONS A 3RD SAXONY )

Fun Fact: The capitals of Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate are right next to each other seperated only by the rhine river. If you were to cruise along the middle of the rhine river one half of your boat would be in mainz and the other in Wiesbaden.

WHAT? No incest jokes about Saarland? I feel misrepresented. lol

How could you forgot that Jägermeister is from Lower Saxony ?!!😂

3:09 "autobahn vismarck"

Fun fact many people seem to forget (or don't know): Hamburgers are actually from Hamburg. Or at least their origin is Hamburg.

2:44 That's not that correct, because several German states including Saxony and Württemberg also had their monarchy and kings.

As austrian I find the Bismarck quote so funny ... cause it's true

I'm very impressed by the research done for all of the video's, must take a lot of time, keep up Geography Now! love to see your vid's !

8:56 you missed half of the state there lol

As someone from Mainz, I can forgive the pronounciation, but something that would have been really cool to mention that Johannes Gutenberg is from here, the guy who invented the printing press!

So Bavaria is basically the Texas of Germany.

Love learning about where my ancestors came from. I'm almost fully German besides a little English from my mom's side. Other than that, my dad's family came from North Rhineland-Westphalia, and the German part of my mom's family came from Bavaria! We have cousins in Germany that we keep in contact with! They only speak and write in German, so every Christmas when we get a Christmas card from them I have to try my hardest to translate it! I'm learning German so I can actually write back to them eventually!

Thank you so much. I've been living in Germany for 4 years now. Learned a lot from this video

Also ther can be a huge rivalry between the states of Germany. Especially when it's about football or beer

Porsche, not Porsch!

I'm always impressed by your ability to nail descriptions of foreign countries! Really, this is so accurate 😂😂

4:40 Luckily this has finally come to an end with the BER airport finally opening and the two other airports in Berlin being closed.

How can you talk about Schleswig-Holstein without mentioning the WACKEN OPEN AIR Festival?

as a german the pronouniciation killed me XD

Thank you for this awesome video! I'm a German and it was interesting to hear what someone from another country thinks of the country I live in. :)

So good i really enjoyed watching!

Moin Moin?! It better be afternoon, I cannot stand people talking that much in the morning.

do you know what the most difficult german dialect is?..... Americans speaking german😂😉

Thank you for posting this. Yes, the Black Forest is in Baden Würrtemberg and Germany is known for its fairy tales. The famous Grimm brothers (Jacob and Wilhelm), however, originated from Hessen and did not create, but rather collect the Grimm's Fairy Tales, mainly in the Hessen area. Thank you, by the way, for making such a good effort trying to pronounce German names of cities and countries as well as you do!

Now I kill my time by playing the Seterra.. It's really worth it. Thank you Barb, your channel is really fun and nice!

Next filler week: states of the HRE

"Bavaria is known for Beer" U just triggert 15 other Bundesländer plus Tschechien and polen (Sorry i dont know the english Terms)

Like, really on of the only channels who actually try to pronounce german words correctly xD Great job, u did pretty good :) And u even managed to teach me some new stuff i didnt knew till now :D Subscribed :)

Pretty well done!

6:30 Hamburg isn't really the IT capital of Germany. That's a title a lot of german cities claim, for example Munich, Hanover, Berlin and also Bielefeld, a city that, according to some people, doesn't even exist. Also everyone knows the actual IT capital of germany is Delmenhorst.

Such an amazing video!

Awesome episode!!

Funfackt: Hamburg is the German Broadway

7:50 No, the amish don't speak a variation of plattdeutsch. They speak a variation of palatine German or some subgroups speak an allemanic german. Both variations have pretty much nothing todo with plattdeutsch.

Thanks for working with our Swedish website Seterra thats were I learned all the countries, flags, capitals and some territories we played Seterra in school 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

Epic subtitles. I lost it at 10:29 "f*cking in ironworks".

You kinda mentioned it but also got it wrong... The Germanic tribe of the Saxons has absolutely nothing at all in common (besides the name) with the people of Saxony. Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein is the homeland of the Saxons and they never moved to modern day Saxony. The confusion comes from some political mess centuries ago. After that Saxony lost it's original homeland but didn't stop calling itself Saxony.

1) Baden-Württemberg is not Swabia, there exists a lot of rivalry between Baden on the west (Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Freiburg) and the east (Stuttgart, Tübingen, etc.), and the west is often culturally closer to Alsace/Pfalz than Stuttgart and the east. 2) Bavaria is not the only state to have had a king, nearly all former duchies/kingdoms (today's states) had kings/regents, none after WW2 though. You are right though in saying that Bavaria generally likes to think of itself as distinct from the rest of Germany. Also, King Ludwig II's death (and life) was far more mysterious than simply "he drowned himself". 3) I don't know who you talked to about Berlin but that view of the city is a bit dated, by about 15 years, perhaps. These days it's becoming especially popular among the younger generation, digital nomads, and English speakers, not to mention the soaring tourism rates. It's way more multicultural than almost anywhere else in the country (except pockets in big cities like Cologne), and it's very distinct from the rest of Germany. Also the thing about the airport isn't really a Brandenburg thing in specific, it's heaps of mismanagement at various levels.

Pretty accurate my friend! Although I am not sure about the Bauhaus part. For some reason I connect it to Thüringen rather than Sachsen-Anhalt

I live in Germany for over a year now and I've learned in 15min more about this country than in the past year. I knew about Baden Wurttemberg, because here is where I live, but I always headed to the Netherlands when I had the opportunity to travel north. Jetzt habe ich Lust zum Reisen! :D

Some interesting facts: Bavaria: There is a linguistical and cultural divide between Bavaria and Frankonia. Some decades ago, they tried the succession from Bavaria. Hesse: The actual state are mostly the borders of the Hesse-States (Hessen-Darmstadt, Hessen-Kassel, Hessen-Homburg), the free city Frankfurt and Nassau. For a long time the area between Mainz and Worms was part of it. That's the reason it's called Rheinhessen. Lower Saxony: The original Saxony. Saxony and Saxon-Anhalt got this name thanks to the dispute between Barbarossa and Henry the Lion. Schleswig-Holstein: The danish population have their own political party. It doesn't apply to the 5% rule, so they always have a seat in the Parlament.

8:57 you made a little mistake here. The red area you marked on the map is only half of NRW. The western part is also NRW.

I come from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and I'm proud of you, because you pronounced it correctly, also Schwerin. Very nice! 😁

Very informative video !

In Schleswig-Holstein we just greet with "Moin!". If you say "Moin Moin!" you talk too much. ;)

"Schleswig-Holstein is like the Denmark of Germany" That is in fact accurate and most radio stations have weather reports for north germany. And by that they mean every northern state except SH. So you are get better weathereports from danish radio stations. Also yeah we don't talk much. And if someone asks you "Na wie is?" you just answer with "Joa muss ja". No more talking needed

Great video. Visiting new friends in Berlin I met while in Madrid last year. It would be awesome if you remade the Spain 🇪🇸 video. I don’t think you gave it the fun excitement you did here with Germany 🇩🇪. What Spain’s has to offer today on food and quality of life as well as her vast empire the first European empire, should be given the fun and cool respect you give to your other awesome videos. Thanks 😊

This was really good. Good that you mentioned Mallorca.

What about Alsace-Lorraine? Oh yeah... At least there's east pruss... Wait

Never heard about Mecklenburg vorPOLEN and i'm from Germany

I'm a Hungarian living in Germany, and this is one of my favourite videos on UKposts 😊

Love ur videos man

The word Porsche has two syllables (1:25). 2:39 - Bavaria was not the only country with it's own king (the others were Saxony, Württemberg and Prussia). Bremen is not the only Free Hanseatic City (the other being Hamburg). The Habours of Bremen and Bremerhaven are not on the Elbe river. The territory of North-Rhine-Westphalia (not North Rhinland Westphalia!) is not completely couloured in this map for some reason: 8:56. Cologne is not the "media-capital" of Germany (that would be Berlin). The Sorbian minority is mostly situated in southern Brandenburg (and not in Saxony). the dumplings are called Klöße (not koöße: 13:44). The singular for Federal State is "Bundesland" (14:04 "Bundesländer" is the plural).

*The Saxon Tribes originated in Lower Saxony, not Saxony*

Good Video, i life and grow up in Germany since 27 Years an i learned something new i don't know :D

Thank you. I enjoyed that so much. Living in the UK and a bit homesick: Germany ❤️ I’m from Schleswig-Holstein. Things to see is the beautiful gothic city Lübeck, and SH has also some amazing islands (sylt - island for the rich people) and lighthouses. Also, The first person says Moin, the second person answers with Moin Moin 😄 (maybe more in lower saxony though. I lived in Bremen for ten years) it’s funny, really. Miss it a lot. Haven’t been in Germany for a year, because PCR tests are so expensive, travelling with the whole family.

Hamburg is like Amsterdam. Stupid stereotypes lik Hamburgers and weed. Both famous for their red light district as well.

Also as someone from Thuringia myself a few more tidbits: The state capital Erfurt once had 38 churches of which only 27 remain including one of the oldest Romanesque style churches, it still has the oldest and biggest freeswinging medieval bell in the world the Gloriosa, the oldest Jewish treasure in Europe was also found in Erfurt. The English royal house was once called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha with their main seat the Ernestine castle in Gotha. Eisenach has a medieval castle where Luther spent his too, the Wartburg which is also on UNESCO list. The Thuringian Forest and Rennsteig are kind of the pendant the Black Forest. Thuringia also has the highest density of castles and palaces in Europe which makes maintaining them difficult, hence why some have been given back to their original noble owners.

Wow, very interesting and informative. I learned something new, even as a German :)

Fun fact about Hamburg: there is a tunnel under the Elbe river where you can go to each side of the city near the harbor It’s really cool and I’ve been there :)

PLEASE don't say Moin moin when you come to Schleswig- Holstein. 'Moin Moin' is like saying you want to cheew the ear of the other person of! Just say Moin with a slight nod thats more than enough to say 'Hello'. ;) Less words more straight forward meaning ;)

Hamburg is often referred to as "Das Tor zur Welt" - Germanys gateway to the world. It has that huge port in the middle of the city, where you see large container vessels and cruisliners pass by like they were cars. Hamburg is less conservative than the rest of Germany (exept Berlin maybe), very open minded and international. It is also the most beautiful and diverse german city and has been voted that many times. They have the most interesting and diverse architecture both historic and modern, most bridges in the world next only to NYC (there is water everywhere), huge nightlife, huge cultural diversity, many beautiful! beaches (in the city!), germany's only "Süsswasserauenwatt" (a unique freshwater tideland forrest), city forrests, lakes and swamps, it is just full of trees and parks, it is all green. In the very center of the city lays the huge Alster lake. The district of Blankenese lies on a steep hillside and is mostly accessible only by stairways, It's often compared to a southern french mediterranean village. The "Speicherstadt" (Unesco world heritage) is a whole historic harbour district built of red clinker bricks and into the huge Elbe river. The beauty of Hamburg is not as obvious as the beauty of other cities (which have all old buildings and that's it), but it has that and just so much more to offer. People are friendly, open, down to earth and fun (although stereotypes will tell you otherwise), and they are known for a somewhat sarcastic humour which is often misunderstood by the south. And the hoppy beer is better than in the south. They have the worldfamous Mojo Club, Golden Pudel Club and countless other unique clubs with a big big live scene. Choose from 50 to 100 concerts every day. The Reeperbahn district in St. Pauli has the most concentrated nightlife in all of germany, maybe Europe. Hamburg has a huge university, it has the FC St. Pauli soccer team, that is known worldwide for its unique fan culture, also the HSV team, which was the "dinosaur" of german soccer until they descended to the second league for the first time last year. Hamburg has the hamburgers original! And the "Museum of Hamburg history" will just simply blow your mind. It is a very rich city, but not everybody is rich. Beyond the wealthiness unfolds a so unique 'peoples culture' and subculture. Hamburg is as diverse as it gets, and it takes time to be discovered.

-NRW's south east is mostly Protestant -Saxony is the one with christmas stuff -The Bauhaus started in Thüringen

nice Video :D Gut erklärt
