    👉These are regular, German laws that are applied every single day. But what many people don’t know is that they were originally written by the Nazi Regime over 80 years ago!
    Correction: 4:09 "Besondere Schwer der Schuld" doesn't always come with "Sicherungsverwahrung" (preventive detention) and vice versa. There are a lot of cases where both of these things apply, but not always.

    ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 30 years old, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

      10:07 - false, they wanted also women to work as they also started taking care for children like kindergarten, right ?
      And then they needed also women in the workforce for the new economy they had started to increase the production before the war and then especially throughout the war.
      You might have not looked into the records even though the general wish of the Führer and Himmler had been 4 children per family which was btw just 100% more than the rate of 1930 before he came to power, the number of birth had stalled from 2,000,000 million in 1900 to just 600,000. Third Reich is a very difficult topic and needs a lot of research especially if you had not spoken with those who had lived then and naturally had to vote for Hitler like all those who had been displaced by the USA from the eastern parts of germany after 1918 who had lost their homes, family owned business and properties as big as your eyes could watch owned since the age of the knights by these families.
      Grandpa had fought the russians back then and the soviets in WW 2 but always said that he had voted for anyone during the Weimarer Republic who promised to give them back what had been owned by their families for centuries, foremost the graves. And now we buy back the properties one after another cause after Poland had become an EU member state they could no longer reject our will to buy back and develope the are which never had been developed after 1918 except from 1939 to 1942 when all the repairs had been done. The employee from the pig shed came one day to my grandpa with a fork and some others to leave within 14 days or they would not end up well - 1919 .
      They fled leaving everything behind forced by polish pig shed workers which then were killed later by the soviets in sept. 1939 cause they hang them up when they retreated from that area and handed the territory over in Okt. 1939.
      Grandpa was not mobilized till nov. 1941 and then went to Moscow with the spearheads of the tank corps, later spend many years in siberian POW, but came back and went to the west without seeing the graves of his ancestors again. But we are back again and building up the ruins the others had left behind, piece by piece, acre by acre we buy back what belonged to us.

      I am an American who lived in Germany for most of Elementary school. Though the school I attended was for American kids, we did have to learn German. My best friends were German twin boys and I eventually picked it up so well, that many Americans and some Germans thought I was a native speaker. Sadly, I lost much of it but, for some reason, I can still shop and order food (because of this, I've made friends with the proprietor of our local German shop), and remember a lot of the songs and poems I knew during that time.

      I've had english since 3rd grade. And while that is typical "book english", it set the foundation to learning more afterwards.
      And with the connected world nowadays, it really has become lingua franca.
      I'm in a casual gaming group, we have finns, french, germans, brits, italians, swedes, spaniards, dutch, polish, israeli and even someone from Iraq. And we communicate in english, because that is a language all of us know to some degree. And using a language is the best way to improve it once you have the basics.

      Our german language is more complicated than most other languages, what makes it quite easy to pick up other languages and their specifics.
      Also "german language" is just not ONe language but about 30 accents, some quite strange even to most other germans.
      So if we travel around even in our own country we have to adapt quickly.
      I learned english in basic school, honed it a bit through english/american english movies and books, but travelling abroad showed me how much i still had to learn. Now, with 48 years i get by quite good, even adopting two american accents.
      You're never too old NOT to learn...and languages are the keys to the heart of other peoples

Today we mostly think of race as European, African, Asian, or Native American. Back then it also had to do with nationalism or region of a continent.

    Well, not only in Germany. When Germany attacked Norway on the 9th of April 1940, we capitulated two months later, and then the Germans shoved that the word 'soscialist' in nationalsocialist actually meant something. In 1941 the Germans introduced 'barnetrygd', which translates to 'children's insurance payment' . That meant that all parents were paid if they had children under 18 years of age, with no consideration of the parents income.
    The nazis were planning a welfare state. They also set up a payment system, like the one in Germany. They also made a lot of other laws about state banks, and state guarantees for everyone from farmers to young couples building a house. All these laws were made invalid when the Norwegian exile government returned, but the bureaucrats said that it would be a mistake to invalidate laws that worked fine. So the government 'proposed' the laws they wanted to keep to the Norwegian parliament, which, in turn, agreed, and revalidated these laws, but now with a new postwar date....they did not get all the laws though, some stuck without revision, since the Germans introduced such a mass of new laws. I think that there are so many revisions of the laws the last 30 years, that you can not find them. But the Norwegian law-book as late as 1984 had these laws between 1940 and 1945 which the lawbook said about the German laws still being valid: -Lawes introduced by the German administration and the unlawful Quisling -administration (Quisling was a Norwegian nazi, who we shot after the war), but being validated by Stortinget () (Parliament) after the war. It also contained a much thinner section about the laws made by the exile government in London, in practise only one law from them remained in the 1980s. that had also to be voted for in Parliament.

    As an American living in Germany, I wish more Germans understood what you said, "Modern Germany is not the Germany from 80 years ago." It isn't the same country and other things. Plus, just look at the history of Germany, or at least the area of Europe that now forms Germany. Going back to the "Holy Roman Empire" and further. There is so much to be proud of in German history. Examples are Nietzsche, Kant, Sebastian Lotze, Beethoven, etc. It has such a long history, with so much good, but everyone complains about something that was only nine years of their history. Also, many other countries are guilty of doing things that are just as bad, if not worse, than what happened in Germany 80 years ago. The only real difference is that Germans are over-efficient and document everything fully. Unlike other countries, for example, the Soviets and Khmer Rouge were far worse but didn't document their atrocities in full detail. The British used concentration camps in South Africa during the Boer War. So, as an American in Germany, I'll simply say Germans need to stop shouting, "I'm ashamed to be German." over that.
    (By the way, I do not have any German ancestry. According to my family history and DNA Tests, all my ancestors came from Sweden, England, and Scotland before settling in the US. So, I have no reason outside, having found myself living in Germany for various reasons.)

    Freisler was a despicable character. He was one of the judges in the White Rose show trial. He also presided over the trials of the July 20th defendants. He was the ultimate "hanging judge" with most of his sentences resulting in death. One interesting fact about his is that he was a POW in World War One. He was held in Russia where he studied Bolshevism. Of course, when it became beneficial to his career to switch ideologies, he joined the Nazi Party. That wasn't uncommon back then.

      Freisler was killed in an air raid in early 1945 when a USAAF bomb landed on his courthouse when he stayed behind to collect the papers for his next case before going to the air raid shelter. The papers were of the case of Fabian von Schlabrendorff, a 20 July Plot member who would have been executed if Freisler had lived. Thus von Schlabrebdorff survived the war.

      Normal in Germany. However, some aspects of this part of history are never discussed. For example, did you know that Hermann Goring actually had a treaty with the Jews called the "Ha'avara-Abkommen". Or did you know that Hitler befriended a jewish girl in the early 1930s? Another interesting topic is the death of Martin Bormann. According to historian Mark Felton, he did not die in Berlin 1945, but in South America in 1959. However, these things aren't discussed in Germany because anyone speaking about these topics has to fear being nazified.

    Das mit der Sicherungsverwahrung und der besonderen Schwere der Schuld ist nicht richtig. Die Sicherungsverwahrung ist eine eigene Sache unabhängig vom Strafmaß, die kann vom Richter angeordnet werden, auch bei anderen Strafen wie z.B. Körperverletzung. Besondere Schwere der Schuld heißt, dass die Möglickeit zur Entlassung erst nach 25 Jahren passiert, nicht "schon" nach 15 Jahren.

    • @fjordweit6170

      Die Schwere der Schuld Feststellung legt im Prinzip nur fest, dass beim ersten Antrag auf Haftentlassung der Antrag zurückgewiesen wird und eine Mindestverbüssungsdauer festgesetzt wird. Und das können in seltenen Fällen auch nur 2 Jahre mehr sein, wie in einem Fall aus Bayern vor kurzem. Im Durchschnitt Deutschlandweit sind es 5-10 Jahre on top. Bayern gibt eher noch 10 -20 Jahre darauf. Die Sicherungsverwahrung ist neben der Unterbringung in einem Psychiatrischen Krankenhaus eine sog. Maßregel der Sicherung und Besserung. Juristen sprechen hier von der zweiten Schiene des Strafrechts, wo es nur um den Schutz der Öffentlichkeit vor weiteren Straftaten des Straftäters geht und strafrechtliche Schuld nicht (mehr) vorliegt. Die Sicherungsverwahrung stand vor der Abschaffung, erfreut sich aber wieder wachsender Beliebtheit unter den Schwurgerichtskammern, weil man extrem gefährliche Täter so endgültig aus dem Verkehr ziehen kann. Durch die Rechtsprechung des EMRK Gerichtshofes ist die Ausgestaltung der Sicherungsverwahrung heute eine komplett andere, das wohl auch zurecht.

      AFAIK, the Nazis didn't change the common criminal laws. And in fact, they even didn't abolish the Weimar constitution! They acted in a different way. People were thrown in concentration camps simply by an order of a state employee - mainly from Gestapo. It was considered as a preventive measure. That was a key difference between Nazi concentration camps and Stalin's Gulag. In the Soviet Union people got in the Gulag for their crimes (real or imaginary) after a judiciary procedure (was it a court decision or a decision by so called Troyka). In Nazi Germany people got in concentration camps as a preventive measure. They didn't commit any crimes at this moment against the Nazi state. But some Gestapo official decided that you _can_ commit a crime - and you got into a concentration camp. So for Nazis there was no need to change the laws - they simply bypassed them. As for Weymar constitution, the Nazis simply decreed that such and such provisions of it were suspended until further notas. And nobody cared. When Hindenburg died, they didn't abolish the Reichspresident office, they simply decreed that the powers of the Reichspresident went to the Reichskanzler - I.e. to Hitler. In 1942 Hitler demanded extraordinary powers and received it: the Reichstag simply decreed that any decision by Hitler had the power of the law. And consequently, any insubordination to his decision is breaking the law. Very simple. So why bother changing the criminal code? And all this had a very unexpected consequence. After the fall of Nazi state the judiciary happened to be practically spared of denazification . They simply said: what's the problem? We judged based on previous laws!

    Fact Check: The NSDAP did not outlaw labor unions. There was the state-run labor union, which all workers were required to be a member of.

    Feli, as you mentioned the GDR, I just wanted to point out the curiosity that the BGB and many other laws were kept in effect there for a long time, too. The BGB was abolished by the ZGB only in 1976. Until then, they simply put up an introduction where they underlined that the laws needed to be interpreted in the spirit of the socialist society. During the first few decades there were "Volksrichter" who were given a very short law education due to the need to replace many law professionals that were not politically loyal to the new regime (if you want to know more of the day-to-day rulings in the East German law system, I can recommend: Inga Markovits, Gerechtigkeit in Lüritz).

If your following tax law you can't hide income from your spouse.
    I am not sure if this is different or not but you have no choice on your marriage status in canada. Each marriagal statuses has a definition. If have being living together in conjugal relationship for 12 months you are in common law and treat the same as married for taxes purposes.( you can be common law in less then 12 months if there is child from the two parents or if both parents take on parental roles for a child). If your common law then you must file your taxes with your spouse net income.

    I actually can really see the benefit of financially encouraging one parent to stay at home and be around for the kids. In many countries both parents feel pressure to go to work and leave their children in childcare all day. Enabling parents to actually spend time with their children sounds like a good thing to me. Plus what's the alternative? Make families with stay at home parents worse off, or get less tax money? They're not good alternatives. I think it might be more important to normalise stay-at-home dads, as either way it's better for children to have at least one parent who is able to be there for them, rather than having both work all day.

      The alternate is to have a proper childcare support. In Germany it is virtually nonexistent for kids younger than 3 years. Even for older kids it is awful. I compare country where I am born (Yugoslavia, Serbia). So in Serbia there is no difference between Krippe (for kids up to 3 years) and Kindergarten. That is the same institution. They will internally have specialized professionals and rooms adjusted to small kids. Kids are grouped by generations like in school so teachers can easily workbwith them. Teachers have MSc and are well paid. In Germany uneducated amateurs on practicum and ausbildung paid a bit more than construction workers (who are paid so little that no German born people works on construction sites). They are there just to keep your kid with other kids 4 generations together. Even that they do badly so older and aggressive kids will make problem younger kids. Kindergarten in Serbia has long working hours so you do not need to run from working place. You decide when to put and pick your kid. In Germany they act as they own your kid so you have to brig kid when they say an pick him in slot of 15 minutes! German obsession with punctuality at the peak. In Serbia kids get food in Kita. In Germany you pack breakfast every morning. In Serbia if it is a working day Kita works. In Germany they have a custom that public services just take a whole week as nonworking becase 1 day is a holiday! They don't give a heck abot parents that have to work. And specially comes in Sommers when they have a month of being closed. All of that pushes ladies to stay at home for 3 years (plus Krippe is extremely expensive and har to find) because in 95% they have lower salary and are more bound to kids. After 3 years they search for part-time job because of Kindergarten working hours. So ladies are very much discriminated. They sacrify their career. But also Germany is on huge lost having hslf of population not being able to fully contribute to state budget. Instead of coming back to work in 1 year it takes more and it it goes on part-time jobs below her qualifications. And also it forces parents to have less children. Just compare French and German birth rates...

    One dark dark law that was carried over from the Nazi regime, but was only abandoned a quarter century after the war, was the Nazi version of Paragraph 175, which criminalized homosexuality. Paragraph 175 had been law since 1871, but the Nazis revamped the law in 1933, which brought it to a whole new level of aggressive persecution. So in the strictest sense it isn't a Nazi era law, but the Nazis took the law and re-did it to support their ideology. So it kinda/sorta is.
    It was in force until 1969. So while all the other surviving members of communities that were imprisoned during the Nazi era got to go home at the end of the war, gay men were merely transferred from the concentration camps to the prison system.
    Put yourself in these guys' shoes: what was previously open and tolerated suddenly became the equivalent of a capital crime and you were hunted down, rounded up and put into concentration camps and possibly experimented on. Somehow you survive to see your persecutors defeated, and fellow inmates liberated. But instead of freedom, you are put in a state prison for another 24 years, if you live long enough.
    Additionally, the law was used to imprison gay people in the period after the war. It wasn't until 1969 that Paragraph 175 was negated and gay men let out of the prisons.
    (In the GDR there was a similar situation; Paragraph 175 was in force until 1957 but wasn't removed from the legal system until 1968.)
    However, the convictions still remained on their records, which could cause a lot of problems when searching for jobs, housing, applying for credit, etc. Post-war compensation was denied to these victims because technically, they were imprisoned under a pre-Nazi law that was still in effect, and such a conviction on their records precluded any compensation. The German government did not annul the convictions of those imprisoned under Paragraph 175 until 2002, and then only for those convicted during the Nazi era, not for those after.
    A general pardon and wiping of records for everyone convicted under Paragraph 175 didn't happen until - get this - 2017. That's only 7 years ago.
    The German government decided to compensate those who were imprisoned under the law, both during and after the war, in 2021. Three years ago. Not that there were many survivors left, except for a handful of old men.
    So the abolition of Paragraph 175, the expunging of convictions from peoples' records, and the compensation came way way WAY too late for almost all the victims, who were dead, and was far too little far too late. However, a symbolic mea culpa is better than no acknowledgement at all.

    Actually, the tax splitting isn't described correctly. As tax is deducted monthly from the payslip of each spouse, but at the tax declaration in the following year the couple is taxed as a couple, without splitting the couple pays more tax monthly, but gets a refund after the text declaration. So if you pay to much tax in January, you would get the refund about june next year. With splitting the lower income spouse pays more tax and the higher income less tax, but in total less tax is deducted monthly. After tax declaration in the following year the total tax is the same as without splitting, but the result is nearer to the amount you paid with monthly deductions. Also it can result in a refund or paing a bit more than deducted.
    The splitting just effects the moment you pay the tax, not the total amount the couple has to pay. With a pay gap but without splitting you borrow money to the state and get it back later.
    Most people do not understand this.

      Vielleicht auf Deutsch besser verständlich: Entscheidend für die Steuer für das ganze Jahr ist, ob ein Paar gemeinsame oder getrennte Steuerveranlagung hat. Bei der Steuererklärung. Nicht, ob man ein Splitting auf der Lohnsteuerkarte durch unterschiedliche Steuerklassen hat. Letzeres betrifft nur den automatischen Abzug vom Gehalt bei abhängig Beschäftigten.
      Auch wenn jährlich Wahlfreiheit besteht, ob man gemeinsam oder getrennt veranlagt, hat die getrennte Veranlagung steuerlich keine Vorteile. Sie kann allenfals das Gleiche ergeben, wenn beide das gleiche Einkommen haben oder beide Spitzensteuersatz zahlen. Die gemeinsame Veranlagung ist daher der Regelfall; schon um Streit zu vermeiden, wer die aus dem gemeinsamen Budget bezahlte Handwerkerrechnung absetzen darf.
      Die Wahl, ob man ein Splitting durch die Steuerklassen vornimmt, trifft man vor dem Steuerjahr. Die Wahl, ob man gemeinsam oder getrennt veranlagt, nach dem Steuerjahr bei der Steuererklärung.
      Die Gründe, auch verheiratet getrennt zu veranlagen, liegen nicht in der zu zahlenden Steuer. Ein Grund ist beispielsweise, dass beide Partner die Erklärung unterzeichnen müssen und gesamtschuldnerisch für die abzuführende Steuer haften. Wenn es in der Ehe schon krieselt, kann das ein Problem werden. Aber auch bei natürlichen Unsicherheiten, wenn ein Partner z.B. Freiberufler ist.
      Auch mit Splitting auf den Lohnsteuerkarten und damit für den geringer Verdienenden höheren und dem höher verdienenden geringeren Abzügen als bei Einzelveranlagung - kann hinterher dann doch noch Einzelveranlagung nötig werden. Wenn sich das Paar nicht mehr vertraut und deshalb keine gemeinsame Steuererklärung abgibt, müssen sie getrennt veranlagen. Da muss dann der besser verdienende meist nachzahlen, der andere bekommt was wieder - aber insgesamt werden vom Paar mehr Steuern gezahlt.
      Also weiterhin: Das Splitting der Steuerklassen betrifft die automatischen Abschläge auf die für das Jahr zu zahlende Einkommenssteuer. Die tatsächlich zu zahlende Steuer für das Jahr ändert sich durch dass Splitting selbst nicht.
      Auch wenn man kein Splitting hat, kann man im Nachhinein gemeinsam veranlagen. Regelmäßig z.B. im Jahr der Hochzeit. Umgekeht kann man aber auch im Nachhinein getrennt veranlagen - häufig im Jahr der Scheidungsbeantragung, wenn einer dem anderen nicht mehr weiter traut, als er ihn werfen kann...
      Man muss sauber unterscheiden zwischen dem Splitting der Steuerklassen und der Art der Veranlagung.
      Der Grund für das Splitting ist schlicht, dass bei unterschiedlichen Einkommen und beabsichtigter gemeinsamer Veranlagung zunächst deutlich zu viel Steuern gezahlt würden. Auch wenn es dann später bei der gemeinsamen Veranlagung das Geld zurück gibt, verringert dies doch herade in der Phase einer Familiengründung die Liquidität.

Die DDR verstand sich ja als Arbeiter- und Bauernstaat und so war der 1. Mai ein internationaler Kampftag der Arbeiterklasse. Es wurde vom Staat Märsche organisiert, bei den Werktätigen war es Pflicht, mitzumarschieren. Als Symbol diente die rote Nelke. Schüler mussten in Pionieruniform mitmarschieren. Die SED - Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, sicherte so ihren Führungsanspruch in der DDR. Die Straßen und Häuser wurden mit der schwarz-rot-goldenen DDR-Fahne und der roten Arbeiterfahne geschmückt. Selbst die Eisenbahn (Deutsche Reichsbahn) wurden entsprechend ausgestattet. Wenn die staatlichen Veranstaltungen zu Ende waren, wurde anschließend gefeiert.

    Dear Feli,
    you forgot one law. It may seem that it is not as consequential as the definition of murder or taxation rules. Yet it has deep implications. It is the law about chimney sweeps.
    Originally, the law was coined in 1937 and stayed until the early 2000 and it was changed only because of paragraphs that monopolized the region into "sweep-areas" (Kehrbezirke) where only the official chimney-sweep was allowed to work. These regulations contradicted EU-rules about free markets and had to be changed to comply with EU-regulations. So the Schornsteinfegergesetz became the Schornsteinfegerhandwerksgesetz. Some regulations were changed because of the compliance problem, some terminology was updated and changed but the core of the law stayed as it was. Including a paragraph that was introduced into the law in 1937.
    Gesetz über das Berufsrecht und die Versorgung im Schornsteinfegerhandwerk (Schornsteinfeger-Handwerksgesetz - SchfHwG)
    § 1 Eigentümerpflichten; Verordnungsermächtigungen (...)
    (3) Jeder Eigentümer oder Besitzer eines Grundstücks oder eines Raums ist verpflichtet, dem bevollmächtigten Bezirksschornsteinfeger und sonstigen Beauftragten der zuständigen Behörden für die Durchführung der in den §§ 14, 15 und 26 bezeichneten Tätigkeiten sowie von Tätigkeiten, die durch Landesrecht vorgesehen sind, Zutritt zu den Grundstücken und Räumen zu gestatten. Jeder Besitzer ist zusätzlich verpflichtet, dem mit Schornsteinfegerarbeiten Beauftragten für die Durchführung von in § 2 Absatz 1 Satz 1 bezeichneten Tätigkeiten Zutritt zu gestatten.
    (4) Sofern ein Eigentümer oder Besitzer eines Grundstücks oder eines Raums
    1. den Zutritt zu dem Grundstück oder dem Gebäude entgegen Absatz 3 oder
    2. die Durchführung einer Tätigkeit, die auf Grund einer der in Absatz 3 bezeichneten Vorschriften durchzuführen ist,
    nicht gestattet, erlässt die zuständige Behörde unverzüglich eine Duldungsverfügung. § 25 Absatz 3 und 4 ist entsprechend anzuwenden.
    (5) Das Grundrecht der Unverletzlichkeit der Wohnung wird nach Maßgabe der Absätze 3 und 4 eingeschränkt.
    Law on professional law and care in the chimney sweep trade (Chimney Sweep Trade Act - SchfHwG)
    § 1 Owner's obligations; Authorizations to issue regulations (...)
    (3) Every owner or possessor of a property or a room is obliged to grant access to the authorized district chimney sweep and other representatives of the responsible authorities to carry out the activities specified in Sections 14, 15, and 26 as well as activities provided for by state law to the properties and rooms. Each owner is additionally obliged to allow access to the person responsible for chimney sweeping work to carry out the activities specified in Section 2 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1.
    (4) If an owner or possessor of a property or a room
    1. access to the property or building contrary to paragraph 3 or
    2. carrying out an activity that is to be carried out based on one of the regulations referred to in paragraph 3,
    is not permitted, the responsible authority will immediately issue a toleration order. Section 25 paragraphs 3 and 4 must be applied accordingly.
    (5) The fundamental right to the inviolability of the home is restricted by paragraphs 3 and 4.
    The law was introduced to spy on the German people, to gather information about what people read, how they talked in their homes, whether there were possible hideouts, or to gain floor plans.
    This 87-year-old law still inflicts the "fundamental right to the inviolability of the home". When a homeowner (or tenant) refuses to let the authorized district chimney sweep carry out his tasks, e.g. refuses to let him into the house, the chimney sweep is allowed to call police and enforce entry - without a court order. Chimney sweeps have more rights than police, customs, or district attorneys. Think about it.

    Other laws that remained in place:
    1. That there are casinos. These had been banned in the German Empire, and the Weimar Republic kept the ban, but the Nazis reinstituted them (perhaps as a means of getting money for the State, but that is speculation).
    2. In private law, there used to be a rule that when something had to be done by a specific State's government but you didn't know which one, the responsibility went to the Federal Council. (E. g., registering a club with no clear seat within the country.) But the Nazis in 1934 abolished the Federal Council when the abolished the States, and so the responsibility went to "the Reich minister responsible", viz. that of the Interior. Now the Basic Law insituted a Federal Council once more, with constitutional powers (with heavy differences in detail) akin to the old one; but the *private-law* powers of the old one remain with the Federal Minister for the Interior to this day.

    What you say about Ehegattensplitting is just not true. When a woman returns to work/increases her salary, it has exactly the same effect as when the husband earns more (I stick to the gender roles from your example). If she is in tax group 5, a lot of taxes will be deducted from her salary, but you can also choose class 4 with factor to even that out. No matter which group you choose, after filing your tax return you'll always end up with the same.

      The old definition was not "premaditated". It was "intentional" with an exception for highly emotional actions.

    Ausgezeignet Good video Feli!
    During the 1980's and 1990's, I was a US Army Military Police Officer in West Germany and as such I had to be familiar with various West German laws. I also went to school to obtain the hard to get German Hunting License. Where I further learned allot about the history of the Hunting and Weapons laws of Germany and other European countries as well.
    Many of today's modern German Hunting laws stem off the laws made by 3rd Reich Jaeger Meister Herman Goering.
    What is amazing is that Chancellor/ Dictatior Hitler actually loosened up the firearms/ weapons laws in 1938 from the privious Versailles Treaty imposed draconian firearms laws of 1920, and 1928. The impact of loosing the weapons law in 1938 not only effected Nazi party membership, it also effected the whole of all statures of German citizens.
    By allowing the common avarage people the means to protect themselves.
    Where today's modern Germany's Weapons/ Firearms laws are much more stringent/ draconian than the 1938 Hitler Weapons Act law. The Western occupation Zone Powers in the 1950's Westen occupation zones of Germany allowed for private firearms ownership and hunting again bringing back the 1928 stringent Weapons law that Hitler loosened up. As well as the 3rd Reich's Hunting laws/ system.
    Over the years this 1928 stringent law has been made even more stringent in post war West and now united Germany.
    With reguards to private firearms/ weapons ownership, it is ironic that German citizens had more freer laws under the Dictatiorship of Hitler than as is in the current so-called "Free" Democratic Federal Republic of Germany.
    Also in Socialist Yugoslavia Dictatior Tito also allowed the common people to own Firearms. So not every Dictatior disarms their common citizens.

Known as the "Narva Dictate".
      Where by the invading Russian Soviet gangster Army thuggishly intimidated, the Estonian government by dictating to the Estonian government to immediately ban and order a surrender, and confiscation within 48 hours of the sale, bartering possession, carrying of all privately owned firearms amongst the general population of Estonia.
      Once most of the firearms were surrendered and confiscated from the Estonian people, the Communist Soviet Russian invaders along with Estonian traitorous collaborators started to massively terrorize the inhabitants of Estonia, by the illegal overthrow of the lawful Estonian government and, perpetrating multiple crimes against humanity, against the Estonian people such as; strong arm robbery, rape, assault,torture, murder,illegal arrests and deportations to Soviet Russian slave labor camps etc.

    I have to make some corrections here.
    Many of the laws in Germany were written way _before_ the Nazi regime, so not all laws more than 80 years old were introduced by the Nazi regime - even if also some of the laws more than 100 years old may be questionable.
    The civil code (BGB = civil law book) was adopted in the year 1900; parts of it were suspended during WW II, but later reinstated, and there were a lot of amendments, but in the core it is still the same law. And many clauses are unchanged except maybe for a modernized word here or there.
    The German penal code (Strafgesetzbuch = penal law book) was adopted in 1871 after the foundation of the Prussian-led German Empire. The Nazis changed parts of it and in particular "allowed" judges also to punish "crimes" not specified in the law (and also to not punish crimes committed by Nazis). Most of those changes were reverted afterwards (except e.g. the definition of murder) as well as some offences newly introduced, like "treason to peace" (preparing or inciting a war of aggression) and "incitement to hatred" (against ethnic, religious or social groups). Between 1945 and today many reforms of different parts of the code were made, regarding offences as well as penalties (like the abolishment of death sentences in West Germany in 1949), but the structure stays the same.

      @@trance9158 I did, but I had written part of the comment before she even mentioned some of the things - and she did not mention explicitly that most of German civil law, trade low and penal law was written before WW I. The constitution was rewritten after WW I and again after WW II (but not after reunification), the laws however only adapted to the constitution (later also to EU rules). Many laws are far older than 80 years, exactly like in the US.

      Its quite obvious that they did not rewrite anything from scratch … the Nazis just adjusted existing law as was done after WW2

    May 1st, also known as "Workers' Day", was introduced as a public holiday by Hitler and is still valid today.

      Intriguingly Soviet started theirs in 1917.
      The first Chechoslovak Republic followed in 1918, as the first actual democracy to institute it on May 1st.
      The American Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, has the same roots as everyone's Worker's Day except the Nazis; based on a day to celebrate workers (in fact Many May Day celebrations are just that language's way of saying Labor or Worker's Day). Labor Day became a national Holliday in Oregon in 1887 and was a federal holiday by 1894.
      America is thus actually the inventor of having a Labor/Worker's Day.
      Hitler did indeed originally call it "Feiertag der nationalen Arbeit" or "Holiday of national labor" in 1933 and it was celebrated exactly once in the 3rd Reich.
      Because the National Socialistic German Labor party didn't have much actual socialism in their party at all, but rather was a right wing elitist "Us against Them" party, the labor message didn't actually fit with what they wanted. So February 27th of 1934 they changed the name to "Nationaler Feiertag des deutschen Volkes" or "National Holiday of the German People" .. the term labor or work completely removed. Remember: The Nazis had actual Socialists and Communists put in work camps or prisons, or had them executed.
      In other words.. the modern Worker's or Labor Days has none of the same message in them that the Nazis put in their version, though there certainly must be Nazi wannabes out there trying to claim it is their day.

      And they were cynical enough to pick May 2nd of 1933 to put an end to the still existing independent unions. After that, all 'workers organisations' were controlled and instrumentalized by the party leadership, not a self-organized representation of the workers' interests.

    Your advertisement neglects to mention that, if you're on mobile device, changing location by VPN also incurs extra mobile data cost. I tried a VPN once and my phone bill went up by 20 €.

      Thats complete nonsense … why should they say such thing … you should specify why you had extra charges! It usually does not cost a thing extra … in 8 years I did not pay a penny more … its simply down to common sense … it changes your ip to a different country … if you recklessly leave it on it affects everything you do online … if you have higher roaming charges and pretend to be in Africa whilst being in Munich it of course may affect your costs … normal calls are not affected … if you use voice over ip you call from Africa … thats the purpose of vpn … disguise your true location … its solely your responsibility … as it is your responsibility to check whether what you do will be legal … a car ad does not need to highlight that you need a driving license … a vpn ad does not need to warn you that your mobile pretends being abroad … and what this could mean for your contract … YOU must check and consider this!

    We don't even have a written constitution here. Unless you count the Magna Carta of which only like 4 laws are still applicable.

      Well, actually we do have a constitution with written and unwritten elements. And it's just not in a single document. The Bill of Rights 1688, The Claim of Right Act 1689, the Acts of Union 1707 and 1800, the Representation of the People Act 1928, the treaties that establish the United Nations and Council of Europe, and much more are all part of our constitution - and recognised as such by the Supreme Court. Very much more, too.
