    This is true. Except for in the north west and southern Bavaria. That is where inheritance laws enabled large farms to dominate. Schleswig-Holstein when Danish had a major land redistribution that replaced villages with individual and spread out farms in part as well, and many of the lost territories that are now Poland today had a lot of land redistribution during the late 19th century and 20th centuries, when they were still German territory, where farming villages were replaced often with large, spread out farms as well. The old farm buildings of Prussians can still be found today in some areas, often in poor maintenance. After WW2 they did move many farms onto land outside of villages to reduce crowding and increase farm size and standard of living, but unlike other countries land redistribution the changes were meager.

    I made comparable experiences when I visited Australia in 2002. And the first thing I realized, and that really impressed me was that the people in Down Under were very kind, friendly, polite, and helpful. Being in the underground (or subway) from Sidney airport to downtown, I studied the schedule, having no idea where to leave the metro. And then a Punk sitting right next to me came to me, asked me if he could help me, and where I wanted to go to. Then explained me where to leave the train, where to go to, and then he sat down again. WHAT an experience! As a German I want to let you know, that Australia is also a place to be! You can be proud on your country! Okay, there's one thing that really made me feeling bad : the candies. Aussies are unable to make candies. I never ate such bad-tasting candies in my life. Sorry about that! And yes, it's not really important. Beg your Pardon :-)

    You don't only have a first-aid-kit in your car you also has to have taken practical first aid courses before you get a licence. This courses would be totally useless if you don't have a first-aid-kit at your car. So should your car run over a construction worker you can provide first-aid perfectly well...Where is it unsave? Most people do 150 km/h on the Autobahn. Younger people do 130 km/h because ensurances won't pay if you get into an accident while beeing faster than 130 km/h....because ensurace-business is as honest as bank-business.... So if you have less income and less practice, you drive in a way that you habe protection from the ensurance. Aussies are totally wierd about their selfraising flour....I saw a vlog of a Tasmanian girl who couldn't find self raising flour in Germany ...so instead of using backing soda or yeast...she did her biscuitts with just flour...loool How can people from the most dangerous and wild continent of the globe be so helpless? Yes! Most doughs require yeast or backing soda... It doesn't get into my head that this is surprising to Australiens.

    10:30 Well if you know where to search for, it's not difficult to find the thing you need. And motor oil doesn't belong into a supermarket. A can container isn't hermetical sealed, small amounts of gases will get out and it's ingredients aren't very healthy. They're not something you want to have to get in touch with food you eat. Motor oil can be bought at a hardware store, DIY superstore or a gas/petrol station.

  • @swanpride
    @swanpride 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    130 is the recommended speed for the Autobahn. Also roughly the speed cars which are build to city traffic can go comfortable.Also Germany is ALL about the Middle Class. There is no country in which the Middle Class is that strong. And do you really think that middle Class people go into the "better" supermarkets and the others go into the cheaper ones? Why the hell should they? Germans of all classes have no problem whatsoever to go to a discounter. Even our chancellor shops at Aldi. Nobody here has the feeling that he has to proof anything by buying in the "better" shops. The difference between the discounter and the other markets is simply that the discounter save money by only stocking products for which there is a huge market, stuff they can buy and sell pretty fast, so that they don't run into the risk of having to throw away anything (which allows them to keep the prices so low). Also, less products need less space (meaning lower rent, meaning lower prices for the customers). The bigger markets are for those who need something specific the discounters don't stock or are simply too busy or too lazy to visit a couple of different shops to get exactly what they need. It is not a class issue. Like, at all.

    • @TremereTT
      @TremereTT 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Discounters have a lower margin but they have a faster cycle or turn rate. Also Rewe and Tengelmann throw half of their products into the trash, because no customer buys the product with a lesser date of expiration and be it just one day. I only buy at Rewe for vegetables and fruits! Because the lights in Rewe make them look more fresh... Or when time pressures me to buy at Rewe...

    What you want to study is the history of the rural land and city development in Germany, that reaches back not only 70 years, but rather more then 1.000 years. When did the first settlers arrive in Australia again? You could look up easily the development of agricultural development since the middle ages, how many people made a living of it compared with today. You ought to look up the industrial revolution and the centers of that in Germany and how it has changed. Yes, it is very different to Australia, but that is exactly the reason, why you made this vid in the first place, isn`t it?

    I always like to state clearly that it is no GENERAL speed limit on the Autobahn. There are only local limits that are given by signs, no signs when you drive onto the Autobahn = no speedlimit. And of coure there HAVE to be local limits. A country that takes safety as important as we do can't just have everyone drive insane speeds at spots that are not fit for this (known choke points, road substance, even noise-pollution at certain points near housing areas).

    Your comment about that Germany is allegedly so divided into rich and poor and that the poor have to shop at discount grocery stores (Aldi, Lidl, Netto or Penny) and the rich shop at stores like Edeka or Rewe is nonsense. The prices for private label products at conventional supermarkets in Germany are as cheap as the prices you can find at Aldi or Lidl. The food prices in even the fanciest Edeka grocery stores are extremely cheap compared to Woolworth or Coles in Australia. In my opinion it's unmasking that you don't mention the low food prices in Germany as one of your biggest surprises. There are also more than just three different chains of conventional supermarkets in Germany. If you want to shop at larger supermarkets you should go to Kaufland, Real or Globus. Their product range is about twice or triple as large as the one you can found in the largest Coles or Woolworth stores in Australia.

  • @sebastianurbas7699
    @sebastianurbas7699 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Please stop claiming that you show what Germany looks like or how Germans live. You can't generalize from your experiences in a small German village or from your experiences in Upper Bavaria to the whole of Germany. People from the U.S. do that all the time, that's so annoying. Village or town structures differ strongly between different regions of Germany. What you state about Germany makes maybe sense for small villages in Upper Bavaria, but it's stupid when you generalize it.

      When it comes to the fact that doughs require yeast or backing soda, it looks like other Australians aren't aware of this fact too! I think it's a special Austrialian quirk. Americans don't know geography and Australians lack basic backing skills.

  • @Balligat
    @Balligat 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Most of your observations are correct - it's just a small country areawise with a lot of people living here .... in Australia (or the U.S.A. or the countries up North in Europe) the ratio is reversed - which contributes to a feeling of being less crowded. Just a small hint as to the customary introduction. Here we go on a 'ladies first' basis, which would mean: Your wife is named first, you as the husband second .... the same applies when meeting people. You would say "May I introduce you to my wife QYZ, I'm WYZ, nice to meet you"

    • @alkhazarmegie2270
      @alkhazarmegie2270 ปีที่แล้ว

      I actually get the opposite feeling. Anywhere I drive in the US all I see is suburbs, endless miles of suburbs and OSB board apartments. Only until you drive a REALLY long way do you start to see fields and any sort of agricultural activity. A lot of it is just junk sprawl. in Germany, at least when I lived there, the concentration is higher, a bit less space for houses, but you don't have to go so far to see lots of open space.

  • @Balligat
    @Balligat 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    First of all I'd like to apologize for the rude & vulgar comments that have been written here. It's disgusting to find out that a certain number of people always loose their manners / temper when surfing / commenting anonymously. I'm German and an atheist - but do I appreciate the freedom for everyone to publicly speak about any religious topic you choose without being endangered or thrown in jail because it's not the official interpretation of faith. However, I'm wondering why you would choose Germany - as there are a lot of other countries desperately in need to learn about humanitarian (& thus christian) values, like the ones we call "Muslim". This said I'd like to ask which faith you are missioning for ...? I don't suppose you want this to stay a secret, do you?

    • @Patbwoy
      @Patbwoy 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So you're saying that humanitarian values are christian values? Funny how a self proclaimed atheist doesn't even realise how much he's brainwashed into actually believing that shit that only christians provide a moral compass! The more religious a people is the more humanitarian problems they have! Religion has always brought pain and hardship to the people! I'm tolerant towards religions only as long as people practise their religion within their own four walls. As soon as they go out to "spread the gospel", my tolerance comes to an end! And since these two people are missionaries, their whole purpose of being here is to "spread the gospel"! Therefore the only thing I have to say would be: Fuck Off religious idiots!

    • @Balligat
      @Balligat 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You wrote *".. actually believing that shit that only christians provide a moral compass! .."* and I've been thinking about answering to such a hateful comment. Short'n'sweet: You got it wrong, to say the least. I think that humanitarian principles include those propagated by christians - a big difference. Nonetheless it must be possible to hold any kind of belief & speak about it - the limit is where this is forced on another person against their will. Any kind of " .. Religion has always brought pain and hardship to the people! .. "* - I agree, that's why I'm an atheist.

    One should`t be too surprised to get rather disordered views from a missionary couple, trying to sell a myth, that could`t provide any evidence whatsoever for the last 2000 years ;-) Never mind, but to describe Germany as a split country, that is divided between the filthy rich and the suffering poor is turning the world upside down. Sure, we have those groups at the top and at the bottom, like Australia too, but this country is all about the Middle Class. It is not only the largest group, it dominates pretty much everything. I wonder how you would describe the US ;-D

      They prey on poor people in troblesome conditions or with overwhelming problems, as all missionaries. Then you have convert saying stupid shit like "When I had troubles , they were the only people who helped me." And you learn in school that this is the exact way the sects work...but some fall for them nonethless. I know these types of Converts to a sect personally: -Young women with many children and no dads and short of money all the time (She has Abitur...but an itchy pussy) -Migrants speaking poor German and having no community that helps them to navigate the German bureaucracy (one was a Neighbour , from some small african country) -People whose children are horrible ill (my best friend and his wife converted to a sect, while their daughter was bourne with a defficiency that made her cry in pain for over a year) When people are in a point of their life where they feel weak and lost, these missionaries take them hostage for their sect.

    I think there is a misunderstanding concerning a town in germany. In germany not every village is a town. A town in germany has specific rights and mostly only bigger villages are towns. You are living in Moorenweis. It's a "Gemeinde", not a town, not a suburb. Most people in germany will say its a village (Dorf). Further information you can find on Wikipedia where you can see that there are more villages which belongs to the "Gemeinde" Moorenweis de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moorenweis

    • @SkandalRadar
      @SkandalRadar 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The German language only has terms for village (Dorf) and town (Stadt). We don't have a word and a different meaning for "city". "Suburb" - "Vorort" is just a parameter of a town. Literaly "Vorort" just means "before the town", so it is still the town, only the edge of a town. To big towns/cities you just say the combined word "Großstadt" - "Big Town" and to small towns you can say "Kleinstadt" - "Small Town", but you don't use that word in daily conversations. Most people only differentiate between villages and towns. Many towns (in German same as cities) have "Town Rights" which originate from the medieval time. In general (with exceptions of course) villages have a population less then 5000 people (rule of thumb), and towns are above that number.

  • @skraus8786
    @skraus8786 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's mostly because of historic reasons. Small Moorenweis for instance can track its earliest settlement back over 1200 years and a lot of small towns or villages in germany (or europe) can do the same. In medival times, crops farther then two kilometers away from an farm didn't made sense, so there were settlements every 3-4 km. And when in the last hundred years some citys got so big that suburbs would be needed there were already lots of small towns or villages around that big city where extra houses could be build instead of founding a new suburb in open countryside. This is the main reason, imho. But even in Germany we have places more like the typical "new world suburb" for instance around Wolfsburg in northern germany where there is or was huge population growth. (As for wolfsburg, it was funded by Hitler in 1938 as a city for the workers of what would later become VW and has now a population of 125 k.

    It's the end of the town currently, but only until next "Baugebiet" is opened for sale to errect new houses cause Munich area needs more dorms/flats/houses. But thus happens if the old town area has nearly no more property for sale. You can only build a house inside a "baugebiet" or outside by replacing an old one. They want to reduce people living outside to be able to plan better and reduce cost of infrastructure. Completely different to the US. Baugebiet means that there are tons of rules what you can build there regarding area, hight, roof colour and kind and even angle of roof, distance to neighbour, if and how you are allowed to remove or rebuild current soil (not digging or adding more than 0,5m compared before building), colour of house or kind of bricks, hoe many parking lots per each dorm and size of parking lot, and hundreds more.

(but they therefore are clean and on highways sanifair gives you a voucher) while not mentioning that german prices have no hidden add ons like in america the hifdden tax and tip duty in restaurants while in germany you know in advance what you'll have to pay. The bad side: germans are not forced to calculate the vat and therefore don't train their brain and don't know what taxes they pay. All the best for you and congratulations to start with that special point.

      typxxilps We like to talk about the things that we see as different but in a positive way. We noticed the things you talk about but we accept them as normal, in Australia they will start charging for bags soon. We will probably cover some of those topics soon so stay tuned. Thanks again:)

      On a Mission I didn't mean you should start this topic cause I didn't even know how it is in australia. I just wanted to mention that you are doing it a different way as explorers and asking why while so many americans starr their channel with america versus germany what ends in a kind of complains like "no ac in houses, offices " without questioning and exploring why it could be different like someone complained about a missing grid kind street system with blocks and... You start the opposite way like "Hey australians, look here is something different" which leads to far better results. Anyway: Good luck for all of your adventures and struggles in Bavaria. If you wanna prefer to hear an easy understandable native and high german visit the northern part , the area between Hannover and Osnabrück. If you are interested in history then Osnabrück city with its museums for Erich Maria Remarque , author of the popular/famous anti war book about WW1 "Im Westen nichts Neues" "Nothing new on the western front ?" and the other museums regarding peace cause the end of the 30year war happened in signing the peace contract in Osnabrück and Münster. If you like to visit an over 2000 years missed battleground where a third of the complete roman empire army had been completely devastated then check out this about "Hermann, the Cherusker". That is an international museum with english guidance andbis famous for its shows like easter lightning with up to 40000 visitors www.kalkriese-varusschlacht.de/en/?menuid=74&template=mv%2Ftemplates%2Fmv_show_front.html It's also interesting for kids but they should be a bit older like preschool or school cause in summer on weekends / holidays they offer special courses for kids.

      typxxilps Wow thanks. We like to expose Germany in a positive way as we really like the country and don't like to judge something until we understand it. Thanks also for the link to the battleground I saw a documentary about it and the story is fascinating so we will definitely go there one day. Thanks for your support and comments.

    It depends. So, not so much black and white. It's based on history of your region. Don't forget: before germany got united up to 35 german kingdoms/tribes existed and formed allies to fight against each other. They lived by each other but had a different history. What you see is a far modern Germany cause 50-90% of its building were destroyed by end of war as to be seen here en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_W%C3%BCrzburg_in_World_War_II?wprov=sfla1 But the rebuild started along the old street and private property borders so no chance to change it that much. From the east of germany about 20 Millions refugees had fled before russian army over the baltic sea, by train, feet, horse, trecks. They arrived and had nothing or died. Therfore with the growing economy in the back new building area were created, cheap farm land where the german refugees could help each other to errect houses. These areas have buildings from early 50ies, are near the previous cities. And then you have the villages called Weiler or Flecken which don't have a yellow city sign what means 50 km/h street limit, they are too small and got mainly green sign with its name. These are the result of developing a region. You had to cities like Munich and Augsburg and a path, that became a way and later main road. In between farmer were alliwed to settle by church or duke and had to pay. to fortify and conquer the area the next village was founded each time population growth was high and no deadly flues or diseaes appeared. The farm had not so many fields of corn for so many children so it was time to conquer the next part. ... some of these settle area gree faster and became cities or typically 5 smaller were united under one name for better planning cause otherwise each village needs a firestation and hospital ... far too expensive. And please take a look at the map of Stuttgart and Göppingen. All bigbstreets lead to the capitol Stuttgart, mostly along the valleys of smaller rivers. The area along that highway was loud so mid 1990ies they started the american way of industrial areas along the otherwise useless ground along the highway. city grew and now you can jump from one town to the other over 50 km along the river valley to concentrate people and buildings. In Munich all previous suburbs had been integrated into that city area for better planing results. But there had been more villages before caught by Munich expansion which had less than half the size 50 years ago, Bavaria was a poor country and the heritage was always devided to all whereas in the north the oldest or youngest got nearly everything of the farm. And this led to something people don't really know: The US population has by far mostly german roots. Why? Families in the north had 10 or more children but they had just 1 building / farm which wasn't big enough to give each a part, only 1 got all. From 1830 on villages with nowadays 1000 inhabitants and then 250 inhabitants lost 100s by emigration to US or Southern america. From the southern part like Baden Württemberg many were political refugees after riots of 1848. So many different tribes and rules but about 1930 new settle area were no longer available when Hitler became popular ddue the loss of parts of germany to the new founded poland. So he went on by saying "our future is the east" to give the mothers of soldiers reason why another war and attack on russia.

    Don't forget, that many of these settlements have a long history. In the county Landkreis Konstanz I know two oddities: The community Aach, which is a town of approx 2500 inhabitants and is a town of old right. In opposite the neighbouring community of a single village wth the same sice has no township. And not far away you've Singen with 45'000 inhabitants. All three are fully indipentent villages, towns or whatever. Seldon a really suburb. In comparision around Stuttgart you've Sindelfingen, Esslingen and Canstatt, which were in former time fully indipentent with own historical town cores and even today even counties in their own right. But these towns and settlements have become parts of a bugger "agglomeration", a settlement area. I thinkt, the difference is the age between the settlement sturcturs in Australia / USA / Canada and the structure here in Europe. Suburbs are a more modern thing…

      Torax Malu I think so also. The age of the towns has a lot to do with it, I think that is also why there are so many towns within minutes of each other, before cars it would have taken a long time to travel between them but today only minutes.

    The little farms are a South German phenomenon. In that region the farm was often split to the sons and became so smaller over the centuries. In North Germany the farm was going to the oldest son, so the north German farmer have much larger farms on a more industrial level.

    Waldhonig means that the bee hives were set up in a forest and the bees collected the nectar from the trees and sweet sap. It has a distinctly different taste from normal honey.

      @onamission1848 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Petra Meyer That's also very interesting. I don't know what they do or how, all I know is that I love German honey, you have such nice variety. Maybe we can do a video about that.

      On a Mission You get dozens of kinds of honey and you can buy it directly from the bee master = Imker. He will ask you what you want. He puts his bees to special places to get pure raps or akazien honey...It's not that expensive and Bavaria has many agriculture fields and forrests and good honey
