Great video, small mistake. You forgot the farms in the northern landscape. They're all around you at all times. If you can't see any that just means you're standing in one already

As someone from NRW, I have to say, that we have wonderful cities and landscapes. But Essen, Dortmund and Hamm are places where you don't want to live.
@@Tankliker It's a bit exaggerated, but it was like that. Berlin was to dangerous because of riots and almost revolutions, the Rhineland and Bavaria weren't much better, so the signing of the constitution was done in Weimar because it was safe there.

As a Hamburger felon, I highly agree. The Pennymarkt is our cultural center number one, despite having Hamburger legends, like The Kapitän zur See (Who drove the big Pötte), buying their daily Fuel.

Hokay explanation time. I'm not German but I'll try my best: 0:00 Wuppertaler Schwebebahn is a suspension railway in Wuppertal. It's been known for a series of incidents and accidents, most notably in 1999. 0:04 Ludwigshafen, along with most Rheinish cities, suck ass. I'm not sure what the inclusion of SCP implies here but I suspect that it's actually supposed to represent pollution than anything- I'm not German so once again I don't really know. 0:11 East Germany, as a communist country, built communal blocks which while great for giving affordable and cheap housing to the population are not flattering to the eye. Eastern Germany tends to just suck. 0:15 When non-Germans think of Germany, there are two things which will always come to mind first: Either it is the Bavarian, or it is the Nazi. There are no other stereotypes. Generally speaking a lot of things which people associate universally with Germany come from Bavaria. 0:21 The North Sea is polluted as shit with lots of oil, hazardous chemicals and radioactive substances. It's probably not a good idea to swim there. 0:26 Carnival is super important in the Rhineland. There's rivalries between the cities of the Rhineland but as far as I'm aware this might just be a fun harmless rivalry rather than something like Albania and Serbia. 0:31 A pun. Mannheim is the second largest city in the state of Baden-Württemberg- and its name can be translated as "man home". Frauheim similarly means "woman home". 0:37 Once again another pun on the German language. "Bad" is actually German for bath, so "Badener" can sort of be translated as "Bathers". 0:41 Northern Germany is dominated by the North German Plain. It's flat as fuck, at least in comparison to the rest of Germany. 0:47 Berlin fucking sucks. Fuck Berlin. 0:52 A meme that spawned out of both a Monty Python Sketch and an After Action Report of an EU3 and EU4 gameplay of Ulm, a one-province state in the Holy Roman Empire. I don't remember the specifics but I think they ended up taking over most of the world, somehow. In real life though Ulm is pretty forgettable aside from that. 0:57 Frankfurt, who is made fun of for having a high crime rate, pales in comparison to the Offenbacher crime rate. 1:03 Osnabrück is a city northeast of Münster. As far as I'm aware they have a rivalry, but spoiler alert: Munster will always be superior. 1:08 Wolfsburg was founded as- I kid you fucking not, "Stadt des KdF-Wagens bei Fallersleben", translating as "City of the Strength through Joy Car (Volkswagen) near Fallersleben". As you would expect it was dedicated entirely as a city to the production of Volkswagen, and it still is today. It's among the richest cities in Germany but it literally only has car manufacturing and that's it. 1:15 I have no fucking clue. Maybe that's the point. 1:19 Augsburg used to be a super important city, both industrially and militarily. That's it. 1:24 Franconia, a region which spreads across the states of Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Thuringia, and Hesse. Despite being pretty significant and having a strong regional identity, Franconia doesn't have its own state. The Franconians do NOT like being called Bavarians by the way. 1:29 Aachen used to be the capital of the Kingdom of the Franks and the Carolingian Empire. The Franks and their language would end up evolving into the modern day Dutch. Aachen is pretty interconnected with the Netherlands culturally and historically, as one might expect from how close Aachen is to the Dutch border. 1:35 Wiesbaden is the capital of Hesse. It's the only good city in Hesse. Likewise Heidelberg in Baden-Württemberg is the same. 1:41 This is an old German meme that spawned out of a documentary series for Spiegel TV on the Penny Market on the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. The documentary was characterized by a bunch of theft, drunks, poverty and just a bunch of chaos. 1:46 Chemnitz was renamed Karl-Marx-Stadt ("The City of Karl Marx") in 1953 by East Germany. Despite this Chemnitz had literally nothing to do with Karl Marx and it was renamed because it had a "strong workers' movement". 1:51 Lübeck is, as this implies, a Hanseatic City. It was also formerly its own independent city state like Bremen and Hamburg until 1937 when it was attached to Schleswig-Holstein because Hitler had a personal vendetta against the city. I'm not fucking kidding Hitler just hated Lübeck. 1:57 The Ruhr still fucking sucks. For Americans, think Detroit or the Rust Belt. 2:02 There's 3 Saxonies in Germany. One is flat as fuck, one has the worst German accent known to mankind and the third is forgettable as shit. Seriously what the fuck is a Saxony-Anhalt. 2:07 Die Linke (The Left) is a democratic socialist party that descended from the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, the ruling party of East Germany. Likewise with a lot of democratic socialist parties, they don't like Marxism-Leninism. 2:12 Yet another pun on the German language. There's two Frankfurts in Germany- one is the Frankfurt that everyone thinks of, and then there's the Frankfurt on the Oder (a river which makes up the modern day border between Germany and Poland), which is commonly abbreviated as Frankfurt (Oder). Oder however also means "or" in German, so the pun here is "Frankfurt or? Or what?".
Aside from a gross misrepresentation of the Franks being the forefathers of the Dutch (wtf, where did you get that from, France is literally named after the Franks but go off) and missing the Augsburger Puppenkiste reference, this was impressive (very nice) for a non-German! Glückwunsch :D
@@gracelandtoo6240 Actually, they are! It's more complicated than that, but the Dutch language is understood to have descended from the Frankish language. Yes, THE Frankish language. The Salian Franks who stayed and settled in what is now the Netherlands gradually over-time became distinct from the Franks in Francia, forming their own separate dialects that would be known as Old Dutch. The language evolved, it came into contact with languages such as Saxon, French and German, and the language known as Dutch came to be. "Dutch" forms part of the "Franconian dialects". They are, as you would expect, descended from the Frankish language. True, the Dutch themselves are a mixture of the Saxons, Franks, and Frisians which once (and still do!) inhabited the area, but the Dutch nation indisputably traces its roots directly back to the Franks. In a way the only reason why France is called "France" and not "Gaul" is because the name 'Francia' stuck. It was a term used to describe a ruling minority population and gradually over time people just started referring to themselves as 'French'. It's a lot similar in that regard to the Rus', who were also named after a ruling minority population who's population also ended up just calling themselves Rus' as well.

The allmighty ulm haha how did we end up with that
There is that stratagy game called Europa Universalis 4/EU4. In which playing Ulm (argueble the worst nation in Europe) is joked about being incredebly strong and overpowered. And people try to conquer the entire world as the smal free city

@@hailgiratinathetruegod7564 i see. But why is it the worst nation xD
@@oraiseno Basicly. It is a avrage single province nation, with avrage development and avrage ideas. Surrounded by much stronger nations, in the area (the holy roman empire) where you allready can bearly expend. And if you try to conquer land, the emperor (Austria) will force you to give the land back. If you refuse, one of the strogest nations in the game will invade you. Pretty much a smal fish in a shark tank
@@hailgiratinathetruegod7564 ahhh i see. I live near Ulm but didnt know about that joke haha. Didnt expect Ulm to be kinda famous in a game lol.
@@oraiseno Hello fellow Ulmer

Bro that was next level comedy.
DDR really wasn't communist. It never even claimed to be. The term you're looking for is Realsozialismus.
Was soll das jetzt schon wieder mit der Schwebebahn 😂
Brandenburg: …
Kassel when People forget they exist
Not the penny on the Reeperbahn
