    Greetings from Bremerhaven.
    3:04 This is in Hamburg's Speicherstadt (Warehouse District). These are old warehouses where, in the past, coffee beans, spices, wheat, flour and other things were transported and stored via this sea route.
    In the area at the far right of the horizon, next to the green building, there is a glass bridge between the two warehouse buildings.
    This is the connecting bridge of the Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway in the world. They have their own YT channel with many videos also with English subtitles, highly recommended.
    In northern Germany we say "Moin" it means hello but you can use it in all time.
    7:10 Why is it so different? Well, because Germany is not just Bavaria. We have many different architectural styles. Many different eras. In the 16 federal states.
    In northern Germany, there is a mixture of Gothic brickwork and the colonial era in the buildings. In the countryside, there are more Gothic buildings, mostly churches. The farmhouses also, but they can also be partly half-timbered.
    7:47 Some of the seagulls are so tame that they are not even afraid of people. The greyish birds are young seagulls. They will snatch your food out of your hand if you're not careful.
    8:14 In theory, America was partly inspired by German architecture. Since their founders also named some cities in the USA after German cities. Bremen alone can be found 12 times in America. And many other cities too.
    11:10 That's not entirely true. There are also Nordsee restaurants in Munich. You find there such fish food in bread too.

    14:03 Back in the days less timber was used for buildings in the North because they usually don’t have these big old forests like we got them in Central or Southern Germany. (One of the reasons for that is that there are more fertile agricultural flatlands up north - and from antiquity on, the guys on the shores were using a lot the available wood for shipbuilding…)

      @aphextwin5712 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      I think the key differentiator is the topography, farming is difficult on steeper slopes, which means you leave that area forested. Accessing areas, transporting goods is also easier in flatter regions, which probably leads to the mountainous areas having a lower population density, even if only on a fairly local level, again meaning more forests.
      Another consequence of the topography is how much clay you have and how much natural stone. In the North, you have more of the former and much less of the latter. Which means a lot more brick buildings, and fewer natural stone buildings.

    • @Roberternst72
      @Roberternst72 18 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      @ well, essentially, in either way: less timber available, and as a result, different distribution of particular types/styles of buildings.

    North German here: Our tiny 'shrimps' taste COMPLETELY different...
    Most of those pictures with those brown buildings along that canal had been former store houses as Hamburg has always been a city of international trade. It had even been a member of the Hanseatic league. 😉 Today those houses have been restored for casual use like offices and maybe even housing.

    Those warehouses on the canal have streets on the other side, they were built as harbour infrastructure before containerisation, imagine the canal full of barges, with cranes integrated into the buildings lifting sacks of spices and whatever up and down. Doing logistics like that has become basically extinct, especially as most traders have moved out by now, or at least moved their operations out. Quite a touristy restaurant/museum area by now.

    Well, northern Germany is NOT just Hamburg! *sigh*
    There's sooo much more to see and discover - especially if you leave the big cities out of the equation and spend more time in the small towns and villages or on the islands...
    This way (filming a cute toddler or holding a fish sandwich up to the camera) does NOT give you an impression of northern Germany - too bad...
    // For fun I made a series of 5 videos myself, each giving a short overview of one of the 5 northern federal states, including some explanations about the special features of the respective region.

    With a total of 2,500 bridges, Hamburg is the city with the most bridges in Europe, clearly overshadowing Venice, which has around 400 bridges and thus only ranks fifth in the ranking. Vienna and Amsterdam follow in second and third place in the list of European cities with the most bridges.

    2:50 This is literally called the Speicherstadt in Hamburg. It was, in its currently existing form, built at the end of the 19th century out of brownstone (a kind of sand stone with red clay particles, cut out of a quarry. This was also a very common material in several places in the US, the UK, not just Germany up until concrete & steel building became common place in the mid 20th century.). The Speicherstadt served as a giant grany attic/silo house storing grains & different kinds of produce for the entire city when times where tough, but also as a buffer/temporary storage for different produce for the nearby cargo nexus points right on the same island. These buildings stand in between smaller sidearms of the larger river Elbe flowing through Hamburg so they can be easily accessed by cargo ships from both sides.

    13:00 Planten & Blomen is Hamburgs best & most well known city park (of which Hamburg has many). It's a larger botanic park with many places to rest but also many playgrounds. On a personal: this is the kind of place I've personally played a lot when I was a lil kiddo & my parents where visiting my grandma so she would walk around town & then later got to walk by the playgrounds in Planten & Blomen.

    About your confusion concerning the family: The video you reacted on is a little bit older. At that time they only had their daughter Willa. Meanwhile they had to move to Japan and a short time before they left Germany they had a second Baby: A girl again. This is why you saw 2 children when looking at their newest pic of their channel. They have made a lot of very good videos while living in Germany, so you may watch some more.
    And yes, Northern Germany is very different from the South. When you are aware how old Europe is, then you will understand that back in the days the people had to use the resources nearby, and since the environment forms the people and what they build, the North is different from the Middle and from the South. Germany has a lot of faces, depending on the region. Most Americans cling to Bavarian stuff to describe Germany, but that is only a little percentage of the "German truth".

    • @ani-rf4my
      @ani-rf4my 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I think you have to know that Germany was a conglomeration of independent little kingdoms, dutchies and counties with borders between them and tariffs to pay. Otto von Bismarck created the German Empire in 1871 after wars and much diplomacy works but that was a very long and complicated process.
      So of course every German region has it's own traditions, food and styles of buildings depending on their history and local resources.
      In the north you have oceans so you eat fish in the south you have mountains but no oceans so it's difficult to find fresh fish from the oceans but you can find trout and other freshwater fish from lakes and streams. If you travel Germany from the north to the south or from the west to the east you can visit all those counties, duchies and kingdoms with their own culture and traditions the differences are a part of us and our culture.
      It's the same in France, Spain , Italy or UK, Poland and so on. The north of France is very different from the Alps or Aquitaine and in UK Scotland is different from England or Wales. Our countries are so old and the foundations of our history, culture and traditions are very old too. For example Karneval. The roots are older than Christianity, some sources trace it back to Mesopotamia (5000 years ago) . The same for many other traditions here in Old Europe.
      A young country like the USA don't have so old and naturally grown local traditions but a mixture of the cultures of the different immigrants like St Patrick's Day and Halloween your own holidays to remember important dates of US history like Independence Day, Juneteenth, Memorial Day and so on are very young and only important for the US people and economy.

    I think they made another video about Sankt Peter-Ording, a beach famous for all the infrastructure (restaurants, restrooms, lifeguards' office) built on stilts, because on some days in winter the whole beach is flooded at high tide. And that beach is about 2 kilometres wide, the widest beach on the German mainland.
    I think only those on the islands of Amrum and Rømø (Denmark) have wider beaches.

    7:00 There used to be a number of half-timbered houses as well. Large parts of the inner city burnt down from 5th to 8th May 1842, in the Great Fire of Hamburg. Whatever few of the highly combustible buildings in the inner city had escaped that fire, did not escape the bombing raids of the Second World War.
    In the city of Lunenburg, only 50 km from Hamburg, there still are many half timbered buildings. But due to a relative scarcity of wood, which, as a commodity, was much more valuable is the form of ships than as material in houses, many houses were built with brick walls from the late middle ages onward. So, there have been more brick buildings in these parts for quite a long while.

    2:09 The "smaller ones" - we call them "krabben" are _SO_ much more tasty!!! ;)
    4:20 - heh - Hamburg is the best ..... it's where i was born and grew up... ;)
    5:00 In north germany we say "moin" .. and in hamburg and it's metropolregion we say "tschüss" when leaving. ;)
    7:20 In hamburg especially after the great fire 1942 a lot of buildings were build out of stone and brick.. Not just because some (and hamburg had a lot) merchants were rich, but because, well, the old wooden ones burned down.. Later on in world war II again a lot of buildings with outsides made of stone but wooden floors and interieurs burned down... But that's just some few aspects from hamburg specifically... Overall in northern germany you find more brick and mortar houses than timber framing houses... maybe because we have more storms than they have in the south german states. ;)
    7:49 The street is called 'Jungfernstieg' , including the pier you shown before. ;) It has it's own history ;)

    Big mountains vs. flat plains and ocean: of course northern Germany feels completely different. Montana and Alabama feel different too, I assume 🤔
    Edit: the buildings are not that different, including tons of half timbered houses (more than in Bavaria). But they mostly showed warehouses near the Hamburg harbour. Of course Munich doesn't have those. If it had, they'd look exactly the same. They went to the Speicherstadt and thought they've seen northern Germany? Oh dear!

    Many houses in Hamburg's inner city area were only built after 1842 (Hamburg fire 5-8 May between Deichstrasse/Nikolaifleet and today's Glockengiesserwall).
    The company I work for had its headquarters between Alsterfleet and Grosser Burstah near the town hall and the old stock exchange (now the Chamber of Commerce).
    However, as the risk of water ingress and immense renovation costs had been increasing for years, my company moved into a completely new building and gave up the old building (extended in 1956). It's also pretty annoying to have pest controllers on duty by "standing order" to keep the rats in check. At least that's what colleagues who often visited the basement areas told me. ;)
    By the way, there were/are also half-timbered houses from the 16th/17th century, which are listed as historical monuments = Gängeviertel.

    😄 the old houses in Hamburg are the originals...the houses in the States are colonial copies.
    And Northern Germany is famous for half timbered houses! These houses are traditional farm houses. Thus, you have to leave the city to see them. The impression that Southern Germany possess more half timbered houses is caused by the fact that Southern Germany always was less developed, poor and a very much rural countryside and smaller cities. Bavarians and other Southern Germans tend to forget that they were heavily funded and promoted to upgrade their local economies by the other federal states (industrialized states like North-Rhine Westfalia and global trade hubs like Hamburg, an ancient Hanse League City) nowadays.
    They often complain about other states, do not want to share burdens and think that they are self made and somehow superior.

Check out Rügen, Stralsund and places around there, that will give you a better vision of north-east Germany. My opa (grandfather) was bord in Wiek on the island of Rügen. North-west is also beautiful, my Oma (grandmother) was born in Flensburg.

    They have left Germany over a year ago for Singapore, I suppose.
    He was nice, but his wife was an "annoying customer", to put it mildly.
    When they moved to Germany, she was learning Spanish, not German. Make it make sense.
    They moved to a house in the countryside, instead of an apartment near his job. A house like theirs is 3 times the rent, of that of an apartment.
    It wasn't his choice to burn his hard earned money like this, and drive for hours to and back from work, I'm sure.
    She doesn't work and is a SAHM.
    On top of that she can't cook.
