Hi Ryan. The way you pronounced "Wirtschaftswunder" and "Deutsche Mark" shows a significant learning curve in spelling german words :) Well done! Keep up the good work. I appreciate your channels content and enjoy it a lot. Greetings from Aachen Germany :)
China... A short anecdote: 10, 12 years agoe, they bought a steel mill from Thyssen. Dissasembled it, shipt it to China, assembled it. A few month later, they invidet the former steel workers to China for a few month to learn to cook steel, because they cant reach the expacted quality. And last year, Germany, they bought steel from China to build a hugh Autobahn bridge. Tested the steel and send it back. Not good enough. There is a german saying: "Wer billig kauft, kauft zwei mal" (If you buy cheap, you buy twice).
There is also another point not made in the video: after the war many machines were lets say "conficated" and "relocated" by the allies. However this led to the german companies to invent or buy new machines which were much more efficient, reliable and precice leading to way cheaper and better products than produced in the UK for example.
@@MaticTheProto yes but that’s not his point. He says working force could be payed well less for more working hours compared to competitors in other European countries. But that was also mentioned in the video
@@MaticTheProto Unions are factually a source of pure pain, nothing good comes from these organizations, that the Europeans are brain death demons is another topic.
Yes VW was giving to England. All patent was distributed among the victorious powers over Germany.we stoped paying for WWI during the Cold War and start paying the rest after the Wall came down. Repayment completed Germany no longer has any war debts. In 1988 the last debt installment for the Second World War was paid, and on Sunday the federal government also paid the last debt from the First World War. The reason for the late payment is, of all things, reunification.
I always get a bit salty when people say that Germany was at fault for WW1...like...it was a bunch of countries playing chicken on who's gonna pull out of that standoff first and no one did so then they had a stupid war that literally none of them actually wanted...and then Germany lost and had to sign the treaty of Versailles claiming they were at fault, which historians pretty much agree was not really true...
Factually was Serbia who was at fault, thus the british, the french, the russians and the Americans commited the crime of join a war of aggression against germany. And all of those wanted to exterminate Germany (specially the british)
My father`s first car was a VW beetle in 1956 when he got his driver`s license and he told us, that he had driven it for a long time and that the car was of very good quality. That`s why the production was good , and the VW beetle was exported a lot abroad.🌹
I have WV car made in German factory. It is Skoda Rapid.. I have it for 5 years, I drove 60.000 miles and no problems at all. Just 3 times change oil, one time changed breaks and air filters and it is just running and running. My best car I ever had. And price was just 16.000 Usd
Skoda made in Wolfsburg and VW made in Prague. They kept the Skoda label, but at least it is all Volkswagen. The only real Skoda stuff is from another company, being allowed to use the name Skoda and manufacturing busses, trucks, trams, subway trains, railway trains, every vehicle that isn't for consumers.
Ever since 1970 I've had German and French cars by turn. VW, Opel, Citroen, Renault., Simca. All of them were fine. The French cars were less expensive though and offered more comfort without having to pay for extras. At the moment I've got a Renault with over 200.000 KM and no repairs only service.
It's nice that a company from Lüdenscheid has now also been associated and shown internationally with the "Made in Germany" concept :) It's a shame, however, that the new toy cars are usually labelled with a different country...
What he left out, was that the allies tried to copy Germany by basically moving all their industrial equipment from Germany to their countries, especially France, what they did however was removing all the old equipment and forcing the german industry to build newer and better equipment to replace the old ones that now where way more advanced and better, which also boosted the industry further.
"They only had themselves to blame for it" good conclusion after telling the story about how they turned around for the better way and were becoming economic power number one in all of europe only to be dragged into an economic war
5:02 Siku (Worlds greatest _toy_ car producer) I'm born and raised in this city where this factory produce all this cars. My mother worked there once and we've had hundreds of this cars at home, because the cheap prices for employees :D Nice to see this in your video
I remember those. When I was young there was Matchbox, there was Hot Wheels... and there was Siku. While Matchbox and Hot Wheels models were a lot more popular I found that they were also fragile and fell apart easily, but Siku toy cars were almost indestructible. I loved them so much for their durability. I think they are still produced today, but I've grown out of playing with toy cars long ago so I'm not quite sure.
@@A._Meroy of course Siku is still running (or driving. Well, being pushed. They can’t really propel themselves). They’re giants because of their quality.
Saying made in germany and made in us are equal, offended me. Most of the time when i buy something, and others i know buy something, we look that its NOT made in the US xD
My heavy duty kitchen machines, 1 from Krupps the 2nd from Braun, are over 40y old. Never had to replace anything. They make dough of all kind, cut all my vegetables, fruits etc. Both are made in Germany.
Nice video. Although they forgot to mention, that another aspect of German production is the high number of inventions. From what I've read this is mostly, because there was a culture of writing and reading books in 19th century Germany. It helped spreading ideas and concepts and allowed them to invent some serious shit, like fertilizer, the car and many other things. And again there is a neat parallel to current China, as there too education is taken incredibly seriously.
fun fact: Volkswagen production line was in the british sector after the liberation. And the assets, machinery, etc - the whole production line was first put on a list of items that should be shipped to the UK as part of the german war reparations. But the british automobile industry refused the offer to run the plant in the UK and argued that the german technology (the Beatle) wouldn't fit the UK market. Basically they said it wasn't good enough. That was before the beatle started it's career ... (the concept was Ferdinand Porsche design btw.)

I don't think made in china will do the same change, since the culture and people aren't changing and it is hard to nurture innovation in a county with autocratic regimes without a common ideology.

good point ! I remember the Dolores-program (Dollar low rescue program) of the Daimler company in the 1990s. They struggled, because the Deutsche Mark was too strong at that time and they had to close factories.

During the cold war there were "Made in West Germany" and "Made in GDR" (German Democratic Republic aka East Germany). Both were signs for good quality.
2:25 This is the SS Great Eastern with one of its launching chains in the foreground. Laid down in England (not German, obviously) 1854, completed 1859, almost 700 feet long, up to 4000 passengers, later rebuilt as the world's first trans-ocean telegraph cable layer. By far the biggest ship of its time and when launched the heaviest object ever moved by humans in one piece. Scrapped 1889. Remained the biggest ship (in length, beam and weight) ever built until being superseded by the Lousitania in 1907.
if you need someting cheap you go to the chineese... if you need something beautiful you go to the americans... but if you need something that actually works you ignore them all and come straight to us germans !
What the video didnt mention, was the DIN = deutsche Industrie Norm, means german industry norm. Means, you could rely on, to always get the same size and the same quality as before. Its about standards, which have influenced other countries too.
From 1945 to 1990 Germany was divided. East Germany was always short of money because the USSR (Russia) kept influencing it. Goods "Made in Germany" were produced cheaply in the East and sold in the West for hard currency. From strollers, playing cards, stereos and furniture. But this strategy further worsened the gap from east to west. The West got cheap goods and the East could not get a grip on the structural problem. In 1990 East Germany was indebted beyond the measure of West Germany. The only option was union with the West.
Just think of Erika typewriters. The cheaper ones where made for domestic use, the high quality models where sold to the "class enemy". One can be seen in the (glorious) music video for 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill. Same goes for Pentacon cameras.
There is much nonsense in the original video. Made in Germany already became a quality seal in the 19th century. The German products have not been cheap, but mid price ranged and often been better than the same high prices products on the local markets - esp. in Britain. The German industry did also not just copy other products, as there was still a patent law at that time and patent law cases could ruin quickly a whole company. The German industry had to invent and inovate new and own products and was pretty successfully with it - see eg the car, motorbike, combustion, Diesel, and Electro Motor. Berlin already had in the 1881a electric tram/streetcar (the first in the world). The Wuppertal Suspension Railway started eg service in 1901. th-cam.com/video/EQs5VxNPhzk/w-d-xo.html
The video is in this context a history slur and remarks like they did it like China makes it even worse. Nobody stole British patents, that would have had political and economic consequences at that time. And when it comes to patent theft, the USA is at the top of the ladder, they have all the patents they could get hold of in conquered Germany, as a matter of course considered as spoils of war and built on it their economic boom and their technological advantage for many years. The Marshallplan........ was a credit program for the Western European states to cement the US supremacy in Western Europe acquired after the war against the still hungry Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union was still supposed to pay its debts from the lend lease act instead of plunging into new adventures. So all states under control of the USA, received loans from the Marshall Plan and Germany was not on top of the list. The English, as a former major exporter, introduced this logo as a compulsory legal requirement to protect their domestic market from German imports, and at the same time conducted a campaign against the supposedly inferior competition from Germany. In the context of this story, other exporting nations, such as Japan, then labeled their export goods in this way on their own initiative.
everything youre saying about china and that u can compare it to what germany was doing is absolutely right. india aswell. thats why china and india will become the leading economies and production powerhosues within the next 50 years. thats without any doubt and ull read that over and over in economy articles. thats just as certain as that the usa will drop further and further because they arent investing nor redesigning their industries and economics. they are already handicapped due to the imperial system and not using the metrics. that has lead to production issues before because its nearly impossible to properly convert it 1 to 1 and already lead to the crash of a satelite in the past.
Copying and producing cheap? The germans did it, the chinese do it and the japanese did it also in the 60's and 70's before they became the ecconomic superpower in the 80's and nineties.
This is the first time I hear Jonas speak English, he does have a noticeable accent. Reasy is a second chanel to a very popular German channel called "Simplicissimus"
6:12 Chinese electric cars get better at quality? U should watch a video compilation of chinese electic cars loading ("Best" chinese brands and newest models btw) and simultaeously catching on fire, increadibly hot fire with a horizontally spreading, several meters long flames that burn other cars and set fire to houses nearby.... ^^
@@MaticTheProto The lithium fire is the same of course in case of malfunction, but the numbers of those malfunctions per 1000 or so cars has to be compared to chinese models. Because i doubt that tesla batteries made in germany or US are igniting while loading at the same rate...
And even if you get something from the hardware store that says ''made in america'' like some pliars, they sometimesa re made in germany and only assembled in america, but apparently that is enough to make them american.
What I wrote was a bit confusing. I'll try it again. For the same money I could buy a low budget Shure microphone or a China copy of a Shure vocal condenser microphone. This copy isn't the same sound, as the original, but much better than a Shure SM58.
Yes, I was thinking for a while this could happen with chinese goods. All the countries produced im China and the knowledge and experience grew there but at the same time these countries themselves forget how production works and additionally it's much more expensive. Now the Chinese are in advantage like the Germans were in the past. You saw this at the beginning of the pandemic when there were not enough masks in Europe and they were not able to produce them themselves.
After the Second World War, the British used "Made in Germany" as a branding for German products as a punishment. The British wanted the British to recognize German products and not buy them. But the exact opposite happened. The British recognized the quality of German products and so the branding became a synonym for quality. The whole world gradually recognized this.
Stimmt übrigens mit "Made of Germany". Wenn man sich nicht gerade als Deutscher in einem Land der ehemaligen Kriegsgegner aufhält, hat man einen unerwartet guten Leumund.
China can produce high quality goods, their main problem is quality control, and relative lack of need for it due to the market absorbing their goods anyway.
Bringing back the Mark is a stupid idea... When it existed, pretty much every 3 to 4 weeks (!!!) there were meetings to downgrade the Mark. Why? Economic competition, not just in Europe. If you have a currency that is THAT powerful... Exchange rates are exorbitant, making German products extremely expensive, and thus extremely unlikely to be sold ANYWHERE. Incoming the Euro (which was also created to take away the power of the Mark).
The difference with made in China is that the Germans make the machines that the Chinese use to make their products. That’s basically another turnaround the German economy managed to pull off, shifting from a mass production country to a highly specialized individual niche production country that makes more money by ruling the world with SME market leaders in their branches of industry than with huge companies in mass production markets
@@Warentester Aside from that - the relationship between Bavaria and Austria is special as they both speak German in the almost same dialect, wear the same Trachten (traditional clothing), have the same culinary specialties etc. You don't have that kind of closeness between Northern Germany and Scandinavia or the Netherlands.

@@jan-lukas nein diggih voll nich, tbg is der zweit Kanal, schon allein weil simpli als erstes da war und dann auch weil auf tbg persönliches storys kommen also nichts für die jedermann. Anders als auf simpli 😉
@@marie_ks nein diggih voll nich, simpli is der zweit Kanal, schon allein weil 2bg besser ist und dann auch weil auf simpli gut recherchierte storys kommen also nichts für jedermann. Anders als auf 2bg 😉
China goes the same way. Today, if you can choose "a Tesla from the US or from China?" you choose China if you want quality. Sorry for the USA...
Agreed. The chinese teslas were factually better
Then again we do have German teslas now
During the cold war there were "Made in West Germany" and "Made in GDR" (German Democratic Republic aka East Germany). Both were signs for good quality.
2:25 This is the SS Great Eastern with one of its launching chains in the foreground. Laid down in England (not German, obviously) 1854, completed 1859, almost 700 feet long, up to 4000 passengers, later rebuilt as the world's first trans-ocean telegraph cable layer. By far the biggest ship of its time and when launched the heaviest object ever moved by humans in one piece. Scrapped 1889. Remained the biggest ship (in length, beam and weight) ever built until being superseded by the Lousitania in 1907.
8:00 He showed her who wears the trousers in this relationship. After all, one of them has to bring the buns home. xD
I got some shining scenes in my head when you said she is blocked:D
if you need someting cheap you go to the chineese...
if you need something beautiful you go to the americans...
but if you need something that actually works you ignore them all and come straight to us germans !
For something beautiful, you go to the Italians, for something filling and not too nutritious you go to the Americans.
@@ablacknambercat I wished i could say you are wrong but sadly you are right.... unless we're talking about having Pizza in Rome.
@@ablacknambercat The German cuisine is also highly underrated
reasy is amazing! It´s the english spoken theme to "Simplysissimus", a really good and informative here in germany
Who need family when you have a bunch of germans in your comment section? ricght? ricght?!?!?
You have to come to us to Germany😂
05:00 SIKU Lüdenscheid 👍
What the video didnt mention, was the DIN = deutsche Industrie Norm, means german industry norm.
Means, you could rely on, to always get the same size and the same quality as before. Its about standards, which have influenced other countries too.
The video you watched is actually from German youtubers called Simplicissimus
From 1945 to 1990 Germany was divided. East Germany was always short of money because the USSR (Russia) kept influencing it. Goods "Made in Germany" were produced cheaply in the East and sold in the West for hard currency. From strollers, playing cards, stereos and furniture. But this strategy further worsened the gap from east to west. The West got cheap goods and the East could not get a grip on the structural problem. In 1990 East Germany was indebted beyond the measure of West Germany. The only option was union with the West.
Right. If you remember the ADO-Gardine mit der Goldkante from TV spots back then? They were produced in my hometown in south saxony.
Just think of Erika typewriters. The cheaper ones where made for domestic use, the high quality models where sold to the "class enemy". One can be seen in the (glorious) music video for 30 Seconds To Mars - The Kill.
Same goes for Pentacon cameras.
at 8:00 I was laughing so hard. I love your humor!
There is much nonsense in the original video. Made in Germany already became a quality seal in the 19th century. The German products have not been cheap, but mid price ranged and often been better than the same high prices products on the local markets - esp. in Britain. The German industry did also not just copy other products, as there was still a patent law at that time and patent law cases could ruin quickly a whole company. The German industry had to invent and inovate new and own products and was pretty successfully with it - see eg the car, motorbike, combustion, Diesel, and Electro Motor. Berlin already had in the 1881a electric tram/streetcar (the first in the world). The Wuppertal Suspension Railway started eg service in 1901.

The video is in this context a history slur and remarks like they did it like China makes it even worse. Nobody stole British patents, that would have had political and economic consequences at that time. And when it comes to patent theft, the USA is at the top of the ladder, they have all the patents they could get hold of in conquered Germany, as a matter of course considered as spoils of war and built on it their economic boom and their technological advantage for many years. The Marshallplan........ was a credit program for the Western European states to cement the US supremacy in Western Europe acquired after the war against the still hungry Soviet Union. And the Soviet Union was still supposed to pay its debts from the lend lease act instead of plunging into new adventures. So all states under control of the USA, received loans from the Marshall Plan and Germany was not on top of the list.
The English, as a former major exporter, introduced this logo as a compulsory legal requirement to protect their domestic market from German imports, and at the same time conducted a campaign against the supposedly inferior competition from Germany.
In the context of this story, other exporting nations, such as Japan, then labeled their export goods in this way on their own initiative.
Ryan Meeting Simplicissimus an unexpected but awesome combination!
I blocked her and told her to never text me again.
😂
Remember that:
Quality and Reliability has a price to it!
You need to offer something which people willing to buy or pay.
everything youre saying about china and that u can compare it to what germany was doing is absolutely right. india aswell. thats why china and india will become the leading economies and production powerhosues within the next 50 years. thats without any doubt and ull read that over and over in economy articles. thats just as certain as that the usa will drop further and further because they arent investing nor redesigning their industries and economics. they are already handicapped due to the imperial system and not using the metrics. that has lead to production issues before because its nearly impossible to properly convert it 1 to 1 and already lead to the crash of a satelite in the past.
and also the UK royals are mainly made in German, at least have their roots in Germany (Queen Victora and Albert)
Copying and producing cheap? The germans did it, the chinese do it and the japanese did it also in the 60's and 70's before they became the ecconomic superpower in the 80's and nineties.
don’t forget the Korean in the 80s
I mean, it's a good plan. Through imitation you learn the processes, after that you can improve them and make something of your own.
In most cases a copy is on a lower quality level, but sometimes it's recognized by a higher quality.
This is the first time I hear Jonas speak English, he does have a noticeable accent. Reasy is a second chanel to a very popular German channel called "Simplicissimus"
Funfact: reasy is a English Speaking Channel from a Big and Famous German Channel
I have some toy cars which are made in "W. Germany" (W. = West). I wonder what the reputation of things made in East Germany was like.
Those generally weren’t sold in the west. But their tech was behind the west
no way. i recognised simplicisimus by voice. reasy being hte english channel, but didnt know that at that time.
Deutsche Mark this was the new currency after the Reichsmark.
Isnt that the German channel Simplicissimus?
Ja
6:12 Chinese electric cars get better at quality? U should watch a video compilation of chinese electic cars loading ("Best" chinese brands and newest models btw) and simultaeously catching on fire, increadibly hot fire with a horizontally spreading, several meters long flames that burn other cars and set fire to houses nearby.... ^^
Ah, you mean BYD? They have batteries from the same company as tesla, no big surprise
@@MaticTheProto The lithium fire is the same of course in case of malfunction, but the numbers of those malfunctions per 1000 or so cars has to be compared to chinese models. Because i doubt that tesla batteries made in germany or US are igniting while loading at the same rate...
And even if you get something from the hardware store that says ''made in america'' like some pliars, they sometimesa re made in germany and only assembled in america, but apparently that is enough to make them american.
What I wrote was a bit confusing.
I'll try it again.
For the same money I could buy a low budget Shure microphone or a China copy of a Shure vocal condenser microphone.
This copy isn't the same sound, as the original, but much better than a Shure SM58.
my german butt also didnt know XDD
Made in Germany was the "made in China", two centuries ago...
Japan-made is generally pretty good quality too
Japan is the Germany of Asia
Yes, I was thinking for a while this could happen with chinese goods. All the countries produced im China and the knowledge and experience grew there but at the same time these countries themselves forget how production works and additionally it's much more expensive. Now the Chinese are in advantage like the Germans were in the past. You saw this at the beginning of the pandemic when there were not enough masks in Europe and they were not able to produce them themselves.
U americans can build stuff, too.
I got a bicycle backpack from an us brand called Osprey, it is really good, I like it very much
After the Second World War, the British used "Made in Germany" as a branding for German products as a punishment. The British wanted the British to recognize German products and not buy them. But the exact opposite happened. The British recognized the quality of German products and so the branding became a synonym for quality. The whole world gradually recognized this.
His german channel is also really good. It´s called simplicissimus
The guy speaking in the video is german. Thats why he sometimes says words weird. The german channel is called simplicisimus
Stimmt übrigens mit "Made of Germany". Wenn man sich nicht gerade als Deutscher in einem Land der ehemaligen Kriegsgegner aufhält, hat man einen unerwartet guten Leumund.
Even the cannel reasy is made in Germany✨
We already know him, he and his team are doing german videos too
As a German I learned that in school, but I tend to not think about it, because it’s not relevant in my everyday life.
happy wife, happy life ;-)
China can produce high quality goods, their main problem is quality control, and relative lack of need for it due to the market absorbing their goods anyway.
That laugh at the beginning just creeped me the fuck out
"Hold on, my wife is texting me... K, I blocked her, that was the last straw." Good for you for finally doing what must be done!😂
reasy is the english chanel of simplicisimus which is a great german channel
Bro is slowly going crazy
All that's going to be nothing after 'Made in Nutzlos' has become a little better known.
Bringing back the Mark is a stupid idea... When it existed, pretty much every 3 to 4 weeks (!!!) there were meetings to downgrade the Mark. Why? Economic competition, not just in Europe. If you have a currency that is THAT powerful... Exchange rates are exorbitant, making German products extremely expensive, and thus extremely unlikely to be sold ANYWHERE. Incoming the Euro (which was also created to take away the power of the Mark).
The difference with made in China is that the Germans make the machines that the Chinese use to make their products.
That’s basically another turnaround the German economy managed to pull off, shifting from a mass production country to a highly specialized individual niche production country that makes more money by ruling the world with SME market leaders in their branches of industry than with huge companies in mass production markets
Yeah,like ASML
reasy also have a much bigger german channel called 'simplicissimus' they do the same thing over there with a little bit of humor :)
Can you focus on Austria in a few videos? Austrian culture, history, glock, ktm
nö
Bavaria, in some aspects, is culturally closer to Austria than to the rest of Germany, so it might be interesting.
@@SatieSatieNorthern Germany is closer to Denmark/Scandinavia or the Netherlands than Southern Germany. That's normal.
@@Warentester Yes, obviously?
@@Warentester Aside from that - the relationship between Bavaria and Austria is special as they both speak German in the almost same dialect, wear the same Trachten (traditional clothing), have the same culinary specialties etc. You don't have that kind of closeness between Northern Germany and Scandinavia or the Netherlands. Or Saarland and France. It doesn't even compare.
the UK got double the money from the Marshall plan than Germany!
