It's from Old High German: "fiohta" means "poplar" (modern German "Fichte"), and "wanga" means "meadow" or "hillside". (By the same token, "Darmstadt" does not mean "intestine city", but most probably "settlement at the fortified gateway".)
"Kaiser" means "Emperor", so the Holy Roman Emperor was a kaiser. But within the Holy Roman Empire and the later German Empire were many kingdoms, duchies, principalities and so on. For example, the coat of arms at 2:35 is that of the Kingdom of Bavaria, and shows the Bavarian royal crown. There are crowns for dukes, princes, margraves, burgraves, etc. etc. etc.

A field surrounded by poplars! I would think Damp Cheeks would be nearer the translation.
That's what I thought too when I saw the video title! Maybe the words meant something different when the town was named?
Why didn't this video show up on my subscriptions page? :-/

It looks really car heavy for such a small towm. Were these unlucky shots?
No, it is like that
Die armen Storchenkinder werden ja taub wenn die Sirene losgeht.
