While you won't get charged for the attempted or successful jailbreak, you will be charged for any damages, injuries or deaths you caused during your escape.
The escape from prison not carrying extra sentence is quite common in Europe, same in Nordic countries, Netherlands and Belgium as well. Also in Australia. But any crime commited in the attempt to break out can be charged. Just no extra jailtime for breaking out
Regarding the running out of fuel being illegal this is what the German traffic fine catalogue says about it: "If a car is on the motorway without petrol and the driver is forced to stop due to a lack of petrol, this can be expensive in Germany. Stopping on the motorway and also on a motor road can be punished with a fine of 35 euros. Stopping for more than three minutes is considered parking. And parking on motor roads and motorways is punishable by a fine of 70 euros. This is not the case if a driver breaks down with his vehicle. But a lack of fuel is considered avoidable and is therefore not considered a breakdown. Breaking down due to lack of fuel will therefore result in a penalty. For the fact that the tank is empty, the penalty can also be different. If an accident occurs due to the vehicle breaking down due to a lack of fuel, the driver can also be prosecuted for gross negligence."
Exactly. It is reckless to get on the Autobahn without enough fuel, could easily cause a crash. The car is "not road-worthy" for the task at hand and it is a sort of "reckless driving", so it logically follows that it is punished accordingly.
Therefore you'd only be able to escape without criminal offences when the doors of the prison are wide open. And even in that case: The police will still search for and arrest you for the time you had to serve.
The fact that the Tsar (Russia), William II (Germany) and King George V were cousins is due to the fact that Queen Victoria had married her daughters to their fathers and George V was the grandson. Queen Victoria is therefore often referred to as the "Grandmother of Europe", as she married all but one of her daughters to monarchs. Even Elizabeth ll and Prince Philip are indirectly related - Alice of Battenberg (his mother) is the granddaughter of her daughter Alice. Her husband was German, by the way. Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. 🙃
And a first rate b****! (Queen Victoria) 🙈 No, seriously... Aweful, AWEFUL person and mother!! That's of course almost never mentioned when there are documentaries about her reign. "Grandmother of Europe" has a far more pleasant ring to it.
The video you watched is about 8 years old. Back then the GEMA (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights) had no agreement with youtube and other online platforms. If you want to publicly play music in Germany, you will have to pay royalties to the GEMA, which will then distribute it to the musicians. Due to this, youtube took the easy way and blocked all music videos and videos featuring licensed music in Germany. You could obviously circumvent this with a VPN, but these days the GEMA has reached an agreement with youtube and we can enjoy music on youtube.
Germany has 84.3 million inhabitants UK 67.3 million inhabitants Experts like to argue about how to compare the sizes of cities. Greater London (9 million inhabitants) is smaller than Greater Paris (12.5 million inhabitants), and Greater Berlin (6.2 million inhabitants) is smaller than London. But the cities are divided differently: Paris - the core city has 2 million inhabitants and Berlin the core city has 3.7 million inhabitants. London was enlarged many times and independent towns were added to the core city. Paris didn't do what London did and is therefore "smaller" than London or Berlin (but not 9 times smaller).
Well I wouldn't compare the size of cities with the number of inhabitants but area instead. Which fits the 9x actually kind of. Cause the core city of Paris is nearly 9x smaller than Berlin's. In the Urban and Metro areas the difference is less.
also the fanta back then has nothing to do with todays fanta, it was mostly made of suggar, whey and apple pomace. the one out of orange juice came later in 1955 on the market and was made in italy
Immunity to HIV is not 100% immunity. In Western Europe, there is a genetic defect that affects one of the receptors on the cell that most HIV variants need to enter the cell. This genetic defect occurs in approximately 10-15 percent of Western Europe. In Germany, around 1 percent of the population has inherited this genetic defect from both parents. So, the statement is in the video. However, other HIV variants use different receptors to enter the cell. The genetic defect does not help with these. But overall, I love your reactions and love your effort to learn so much about my country! Lovely greetings from a small city near Dortmund :)
Hi Dwayne, nice to see your videos about Germany in a british perspective. Iam German and interested in history (okay, normally medieval history of England/Scotland, Holy Roman Empire ). Queen Victorias Title was also Princess of House Hannover (Welfen) and Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. Her husband was a German Albert of Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha. Her son King Edward VII. was king during WWI and in these times the king renamend the house to Windsor in 1917. The same was with the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the name of his house was also German dominated, House Battenberg in Germany was renamed in Britain to Mountbatten was nearly at the same time as the renaming of Windsor. In the linage of House Windsor, the first person that could be called english ist Prince Georg of Wales. It was already known in Lower-Saxony (Niedersachsen) from time to time members of the house Windsor were in private visit to their "international family" in Hannover.
There is more worldwide important thinks from Germany like: Book priting first car first motocycle Bicycle helicopter telephone tram x-ray asperin heroin Nuclear fission computer mp3 Incandescent light bulb Bacteriology jeans fridge Theory of relativity and many more
The act itself it is. Due to Manuel Kant in the 19th century. He said something what is now §2 in our "Grundgesetz" (Constitution) it is: "Die Freiheit der Person ist unverletzlich" or "The freedom of a person is undeniable". He said it because it is a natural human instinct to have a wish for freedom. Whatever happens during that outbreak however...
And to answer the question: No. We dont have many outbreaks. Maybe one or two in the last 10-15 years? Attempts however... we don't know. I believe they don't make every try public.
The low birth rate: The cost of living are so high that both women and men has to work to even rent a relative small flat in the city. And most woman nowadays are putting a childish after a career. Thats why the most woman are 29 when they got their first child. And this number is climbing into the thirties.
I'm German and moved to Switzerland a few years ago, and I do NOT regret it. Most Germans who leave Germany go to Switzerland. More expensive but also higher salaries and lower taxes + better infrastructure and safety.
16:05 August 1960: Start of a world career. The Beatles' career began in Hamburg on August 17, 1960. This evening the Fab Four take the stage of “Indra” in the Große Freiheit for the first time.
Hey Dwayne, greetings from Berlin. Yes its True, there is no punishment, when you try to escape from Prison. BUT, if you destroy something, on your way out, or if you steal something from the Prison(Clothes..etc) on your way out, you will get punished for that crimes. So there is almost no way, to get out of Prison, without punishment
Presumably, the whole thing about breaking out of prison was simply misunderstood. It means that he does not receive any additional punishment for the escape, except for the new crimes committed with the escape, e.g. threatening or even injuring guards or damaging property in order to escape. The only issue is that he does not receive any additional punishment for the escape itself. And the sentence for which he was sent to prison is not erased by the escape. So if he is caught after the escape, he will still have to complete the punishment.
hugo boss neither designed the Wehrmacht nor the ss uniforms, his company only produced some of them, but he was a high ranked member of the NSDAP (Nazi party) like every other buisness owner in that time. The actual designers where Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck
-You still are punished for damage made during the jailbreak, and when they catch you again you wont be taken into special prison programs anymore, like work programs that give you the opportunity to earn money during prison time. -It is easy to identify a car without gas, it stands still and does not start anymore, a cop can tell you to turn the key and you can see stuff like a blinking gas reserve light and the tank indicator won't move. -Yeah the Coca Cola syrup was on the embargo list, and the chemists at the german coca cola branch had to come up with something new so they took stuff that still was available and made Fanta, btw. the Fanta you drink today is not the same receipt as the "Nazi Fanta". -The punishment for the "nazi salute" is excluded from artistic stuff, so when you play a role in a theater/movie/reenactment you wont be punished, but when you do that in public on a neo nazi demo you might end up in prison.
Why does they always think that breaking out of jail will delete the left over sentence for the crime he does before. You got 10 years sentence, still 8 years left and then you break out of jail. They catch you and you will then do the left 8 Years but didn't get extra 5 Years for the CRIME OF BREAK OUT OF PRISON - Because this is not a Crime in Germany or Austria (As I remember correct).
In Germany, the purpose of a prison is not to punish, but to protect society and the offender himself from himself until rehabilitation has taken place. It is primarily about reintegration into society.
P.S.: the uniforms weren't designed by Hugo Boss, he only manufactured them. For the immunity to HIV, I once read it was in descendants of people who caught the plague during the Middle Ages, but survived. There must be a few of those in other European countries, too.
This old video is not only a bit old, it has also some things a little bit wrong. ad 2) Berlin has a bigger area within city limits, but a smaller population than Paris. Within the city limits you can find also some lakes (big enough for sailing boats and small ships) and woods (big enough for military training areas and wildfires). It shares the claim of having more bridges than Venice with many other cities (Hamburg has 2,472 bridges, Vienna 1,700, Amsterdam 1,281, Berlin 960, Duisburg 650, Venice 450). ad 3) If you break out of jail, police will try to catch you to serve the rest of your sentence. If you broke nothing and hurt nobody while breaking out however you'll not get an additional sentence, only maybe lose some privileges. ad 5) WW I, not WW II. I could not find the source for the numbers he mentioned. After WW II it was about 160 women to 100 men (of whose some came back from Soviet war captivity only in the 1950s and many were traumatized and war-disabled). ad 6) It is a traffic offence because it causes an avoidable traffic hazard. ad 7) It was not only the scarcity of children, but also of money - it was a misdirected attempt to save public money. It was also partly a consequence of the reunification in 1989 - many of the closed down schools were in the East, since a lot of young families migrated to the West, where the jobs were. Multiple state governments (West and East) also cut down the number of study places for teachers, and now we have a massive scarcity of teachers and far too big classes. ad 8) That was never really true. If you add FRG and GDR, there was a first decline between 1979 and 1987 (mainly due to low birth rates and a shrinking population in the GDR), followed by an continuous, but slow increase 1986-2002, then a stagnation and a slow decrease 2005-2011 (which was partly caused by statistical errors which were corrected by a micro census in 2011/2012), followed by a strong growth over the last decade. Currently Germany has about 84.4 million people (which includes however about 1 million refugees from Ukraine). ad 9) Such fees for public universities are set by the states, not the federal governments; therefore the dates differ from state to state. And some states have still (small) tuition fees for second degrees or (in case of Baden-Württemberg) people from non-EU countries (depending on the country there can be exemptions). There are also administration fees (up to around 400 Euros per semester), which however include in most cases free use of regional public transport and member fees for student's organizations. ad 10) Outdated, referring to a copyright dispute which is long time solved. ad 13) The Fanta produced in Nazi Germany was made from apple peels and other things otherwise going to waste by Coca-Cola Germany. The orange-y drink now sold as Fanta was invented in the 1950s in Italy. ad 14) Queen Victoria's eldest daughter married the Crown Prince of Prussia; her son Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, married Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, aunt of tsar Nicholas II (whose uncles included King Frederick of Denmark and King George of Greece; another aunt was Queen Alexandra, born Princess of Denmark and wife of King Edward VII). ad 16) It depends always on the circumstances - but there is no joking about it. ad 17) about European average. Spanish and Italian women are some years older at their first child (in average). ad 18) also outdated - Germany is now struggling for 50%. And solar generated electricity has the lowest production costs per kilowatt now. ad 19) The lowest birth rates back in 2018 had Taiwan and South Korea, followed by Germany, Hong Kong and Portugal. In 2021 and 2022 South Korea, Japan, Italy, Spain, Taiwan, Greece, ... and about a dozen other countries had lower birth rates than Germany. ad 20) That has nothing to do with Germany. About 1% of all Europeans (and Americans with European heritage) has a genetic defect which makes them immune against HIV, but more prone to other diseases. ad 24) He got that totally wrong. It was attempted arson, which was illegal, not lighting a condom. Paul McCartney told the story once - you can find it for example at www.beatlesbible.com/1960/11/29/paul-mccartney-pete-best-arrested-hamburg/
Nazi Uniforms were NOT designed by Hugo Boss. They were designed by Karl Diebitsch und Walter Heck, two SS Officers. Hugo Boss produced them, because he was the only one who had factorys that were large enough to make the amounts of uniforms needed.
Every beeing has a natural instict to be free. Thats why they dont charge you for a breakout. Only if you destoy something or hurt a person Also we have way less people in prison than many other countries. But i was told, scandinavia would be the best countries for a stayover in jail... The focus is mainly on rehabilitation and humanity
Yooo bro its the first time i Coment but im accualy watching ur contet daily i really like ur vids if u wanna come too germany i think u need too Visit colonge Berlin and Aachen aachen is pretty underated its really Nice there and Has a very crazy backround Story Keep it going bro Good Videos!!
The lack of men was after WWI, not WWII (although there certainly was another drop then). After over a century, that's no longer a thing. One reason to close schools was that there has to be a minimum number of students in small towns or villages to keep the school open. As for our population here declining, it's due to people having less children. The decline slightly started in the 1960s when the pill became a thing and has become more pronounced with more and more people not trusting the future. As for blocked TH-cam videos: that's down to the use of music and the German GEMA which could demand fees for music being played in them. To avoid that, videos with music that might be flagged for a fee are blocked. EDIT: About the first cousins: The wives of both the German Emperor and the Russian Czar were daughters of Queen Victoria, which means their husbands were related to the English Royal house via their wives. Apparently, the German Emperor was actually Victoria's favourite son-in-law.
It is a safety reason If you don't keep an eye on your vehicle's fuel gauge or overestimate how much fuel you have left, your journey may suddenly come to an end - in the worst case scenario on the highway. And that can be expensive. According to Section 23 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), drivers are legally obliged to have enough fuel on board for the journey. If the breakdown is deliberately accepted, it can be considered gross negligence. This can result in a fine - especially if it leads to a rear-end collision. If you break down due to a lack of fuel, the vehicle is parked on the Side strip and then the site of the breakdown is secured with a warning triangle. A breakdown service or automobile club should then be called immediately. An empty tank can cause damage A tank that has been emptied to the last drop can also cause damage to the injection and fuel pump. Background: After refueling, it may be necessary to make several attempts to start the engine, as the fuel system has to bleed itself. As a result, the injection and fuel pump are no longer cooled and lubricated by the fuel, which significantly reduces their service life. There may even be a risk of total failure on site.
To: No petrol on the motorway: You drive a car on the Autobahn ? Then you must have eyes. - You have eyes? Then check the fuel gauge first. It's simply for everyone's safety. There is a petrol station at almost every exit. So... think first, then fill up, then drive. Or is that too difficult?
The Problem with only renewable Energy ist, that it is difficult to react to changes in demand. They Produce Energy when they can and not when it is needed. If we had a efficient way to store energy that problem would be solved. So you need normal Power Plants to react to the demand of the energy Net. Sometimes, when renewable powerplant generate to much Energy and can not be shut down quick enough, the Energy needs to be sold to our Neigbours. In some instances we even have to pay them to take the Energy.
jail: yes, you will not be punished for trying to escape, but if you escape by damaging the prison or hurt someone, you will be punished for property damage or... dunno the english term for hurting someone and I'm too lazy to use a translater now :D but if you can escape without doing anything "illegal", they will only try to catch you again to lock you up for the remaining of your time hugo boss: a lot of companys at that time had to do buisness with the "goverment". bmw, vw, porsche and so on. the situation was ... well bad, you do what they tell you or you had to face the consequences. bad bad times
If you break out of a prison, you won't be punished for breaking out, but you will be punished for, for example, property damage or bodily harm if guards stood in your way. And of course the time you still have to serve has not been forgotten xD Me too from 1989 🎉
12:53 Electricity generation in Germany: 56 percent from renewable energies for the first time. Renewable energies are also playing an increasingly important role in electricity generation: their share of the total electricity generated rose to 56 percent in 2023, the Federal Network Agency announced on January 2nd, 2024
The reason why so many videos were blocked was due to legal issues between TH-cam (or rather Google) and the German performance rights organization GEMA. It has long been resolved, though - in 2016 they came to an agreement. I'm only half way through your video, but it seems like the video you are reacting to is quite outdated
Yeah, it's not a illegal to break out of jail. But you have to spend all the time In prison it's only that you can't damage anything and if they find you can get put back in jail again
In Germany most times you can not choose on which school you want to go or your kids. In most cases, children must attend the school responsible for their district. In most federal states, you cannot freely choose your further school career, i.e. Hauptschule, Realschule or Gynasium. It depends solely on the grades in the 4th grade. Fewer and fewer children are being born in Germany, but there are many more old people who die every year. Talking to britihs politicians or the gov is a waste of time. They knew all better and only care for themselves. See Brexit. Fanta was originated by Coka Cola Company but in Germany, because the lack of cola sirup.
Yes it is illegal to run out of gas, at least on the Autobahn. You aren't allowed to yield/ "park" on the Autobahn though, except if you are involved in an accident or your car breaks down all of a sudden. That's why there are gas stations every 50km on both sides of the Autobahn. And of course they're a lot more expensive than other gas stations apart from the highways. Also, you don't need to "check" how much fuel is in your tank, because literally every car has got a fuel gauge and newer cars will also show you how many kilometres/ miles you can still go with the remaining fuel and when it's time for refueling. Regarding the low birth rate in Germany: For many young people/ especially women nowadays it's "career first", and then they're just too old to get children. Or they just don't want to have children. I personally just became a mother last year at age of 23 and I wouldn't change a thing about it. And yes, I'm afraid of what that whole LGBTQI discussion, transgenderism etc. will lead us to in the future. It seems like German society is constantly bashing on women as transgenders are now officially allowed into womens' restrooms etc. There is even a book for kids called "Papi, hast du ein Baby im Bauch?" (literally "Daddy, do you carry a baby in your womb?") which suggests to children that males could also carry babys and give birth, which is not just surreal, but in fact frighteningly awkward!
Hey Dwayne, I really appreciate your big interest in Germany, but I always have to smile when I hear you saying "I have to visit place A, I've got to travel to place B" and "I should go to place C", because I guess, if you started to really do it you would need a one year offtime! It would be a big, big journey. And I really whish that the possibility and wealth to do so will occur in your future!
We have a lower then average breakout of jail ratio. Mostlybecouse most prissions, apart those few for the extrem cases, are aimed at recovery, and reintroduction into the society.
Only for my hometown : There are around 2,500 bridges in Hamburg, more than anywhere else in Europe. Even Venice and Amsterdam combined don't reach this number. As the city with the most bridges in the world, Hamburg is only surpassed by New York. There are almost 2,900 bridges there.
Hey Dwayne. About the birth rate: Kids cost a ton of money and you aren't able to push your career anymore. About the prison break: You get no extra punishment on top when you manage breaking out without hurting smo or damaging sth. Think it's nearly impossible. About Hugo Boss: Why do you think is it that the Nazi uniforms look still today so fashionable and stylish. Because they were designed by a professionell designer. And don't ask german companies what they produced between 33 and 45. They will go uuuuhm uuuuhm hu? I forgot the question.
There r two things u should not to do: 1: Don't harm anyone. 2: Don't destroy anything. Try to escape from jail is no crime in it self. And of course people wanna be free. That's the law in germany... the reason is: People wanna be free. That's an instinct.
Interestingly, escape helpers are punished. Helping to escape is a criminal offense. The escapee will not be punished for the escape, but for any damage or offense caused by it.
Blocked videos: if it's music it's for copyright reasons. Same with films, because sometimes they're available outside Germany earlier. And then there might be content not deemed suitable for Germans. But that's my guess...
11:30 Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, came from the Hessian noble Battenberg family. His father was Andreas of Greece, his mother Alice of Battenberg. As a child, Philip attended the Salem boarding school in southern Germany and spoke German well.08/24/2022
Interesting that you mentioned leaving history in the past on the Hugo Boss point. So in general, past is past, yes, but it is still important to know which part, for example, still-existing companies played back then. Not to put blame on them nowadays but to process the past in the common interest. Even more so, it is kind of a big deal in Germany to question how far those companies have actually changed, if they deal with their past and how. Unfortunately, there is still a number of bigger cases where the company leaders and heirs rather like to put a big cloak of silence over everything and not speak about anything regarding that era, pretending it doesn't exist as a part of the company's history - and thus in a way denying their companies' and predecessors' (potential) involvement in the whole Nazi apparatus.
If you run out of petrol on the motorway, you'll get a €70 fine if the police catch you. If the police see you on the hard shoulder of the motorway, they will stop to see what's going on. They will also take a look at your car's fuel gauge. And if they notice that you have run out of petrol, you will get a ticket. You are obliged to have enough petrol in your tank when you drive on the motorway. In addition, there are plenty of exits and motorway filling stations, so there is no reason to get stuck on the motorway with an empty tank. The reason why this is punishable is that a vehicle on the hard shoulder is always a source of danger. In contrast to a flat tyre or engine failure, an empty tank is a very easily avoidable cause that the driver of a vehicle always has an influence on preventing.
3:00 The prison escapees are of course searched for, caught and brought back to prison. They still only have to serve their original sentence and do not receive an extra punishment for their outburst!
For the invention part I really would have mentioned the printing press. Without that I don't think the information would have been as easily shared for quite some time setting us back several years on as the whole species.
You can be fined if you run out of petrol on the motorway because you are endangering others with your stuidity/lack of foresight. The prison escape thing makes total sense. You are not being punished for your natural wish to be free. But if you take hostages or hurt or kill anyone while attempting to break out, you will be fined for those crimes. Just the harmless attempt to get out is not punishable.
Prisonbreak is No crime, but if you steal a Car or Hit Somebody in your break out, you get punished for this. And i think if you trie to break out a lot, they get you punished by stronger guarding and Einzelhaft (sorry for my Bad english😅)
It's become increasingly "redundant" to many to have children in Germany. Similar to Japan, we are a country centered around work. Children are most often an afterthought or not thought of at all.
Yes it is illigal to run out of fuel on the Autobahn. Drivers have an obligation to check if their vehicle is fit for the journey, if a driver ignores his fuel gage, the empty fuel-warning or the missfires (final warning that the engine is running on fumes), than he deserves to be fined. p.s. It is also illegal to end up on the hard shoulder in th UK.
7:34 The school closings have nothing to do with the war! On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer babies being born since the 1970s (1.3 per woman) and, on the other hand, more and more people are moving from the countryside to the cities.
About the prison break: if you break out, you won't get any additional prison time for breaking out (you can be charged for damages, assault etc if you did any of this), but that didn't mean they won't try to catch you. If you are caught you'll have to serve the rest of your time.
For #3 its right there is no punishment because a human right is to be free but to get out of prison you would break another law to getting out of the jail ... with no punishment would be if u ask the officer "you can u open the door and let me out" and the officer goes "sure there u go". But thats not what happend soo normaly you would break another law like threaten somebody, using a weapon or something like that. but yeah technically its not forbidden to break out of the jail as an action but to get out of the jail u will break some other rules. ;D
The reason for so many videos being blocked in Germany is a law and it's done by GEMA, we also have to be very careful when we want to play a song at a party (obviously not in your private house but if you are using public locations outside of your private property, you need to pay them extra fees otherwise you might actually get charged a fine for playing the songs. Sounds weird, it's supposed to protect the artists but...you know...I think it's, at least up to a certain point, money making by the state, too en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEMA_(German_organization)
If you break down on the motorway here because you ran out of fuel you will face a fairly hefty fine as wellas recovery costs. Stupidity ( failing to ensure you have enough fuel in your car to get where you're going) is taken a dim view of here, and actively discouraged.
About running out of fuel on UK motorways: Whilst running out of fuel isn't illegal in itself, under current legislation, drivers can be fined a minimum of £100 and three penalty points if their car obstructs the road as a result of an avoidable breakdown, or if running out of fuel is deemed to result in careless or dangerous driving
1:48 Berlin has a size of 891 km² with almost 3.87 million inhabitants. Paris city has an area of 105.4 km² and 2.2 million inhabitants. London has 9.65 million inhabitants and is 1,579 km² in size.
This is an example of thing not to compare. Paris itself is relatively small (administratively) but the direct metropolitan area, which would otherwise be called a city, is of course much larger than Berlin!
@@to.l.2469 If you include the region around Paris, then you can do the same for Berlin, then Berlin and the surrounding area has 30,370 km², because the entire catchment area (Brandenburg) is included in many statistics. But I don't think that's possible because Berlin can't expand to the outside world because Berlin is surrounded by Brandenburg.
@@biloaffe What would generally be considered a city? That's right, more or less connected development. And NOT what was declared in Germany as a "metropolitan region", because that is a politically defined thing in Germany and in the case of Berlin would include the whole of Brandenburg. That is a ridiculous definition. A look at a satellite image helps to classify the whole thing in terms of area. An alternative, less politically generous definition of the metropolitan region of Berlin and Paris can be found on Wikipedia. Accordingly: Berlin: 5.2 million, Paris: 12.14 million. In terms of area, “Paris” is only slightly larger, but much more densely populated.
@@to.l.2469 OK, but the question was the size of the cities, not the urban areas around them. Then Paris is of course much bigger. But if you go by the city, then Berlin is larger in area. If Berlin had had the opportunity to expand after WW2, then Berlin would be significantly larger than it is today. But you're right👍
Queen Victoria was the Grandma of the German Emporer his Father was the reason why Queen Victoria want the Title Emperor of India, it can´t be that a family member has a higher Rank as she.
To compare the size of Berlin and Paris the way they do it is somewhat dodgy, in my opinion. Although technically correct - the city of Paris is around 100 sqkm and Berlin around 850sqkm - it comes with some significant caveats. For example: the administrative boundaries of the city of Paris haven't changed since 1860. It is basically the last existing 'citywall' that was build in Paris, whereas Berlin's city boundaries have constantly changed during that time, becoming larger and larger with every municipality that Berlin incorporated under its administrative umbrella, up to today with Berlin actually being a federal state. (I generously step over everything that happened between 1945 and 1990, because it's too complicated). Today the city/federal state has a size of around 850 sqkm. Paris on the other hand is vastly different from an administrative perspective, but to keep it as simple as possible: the actual city of Paris is indeed only around 100sqkm, but there are of course dozens and dozens of municipalities that are so closely associated with the 'core-city' of Paris, that it is virtually impossible to draw a clear distinction between them. It is generally accepted, that the core metropolitan area of Paris is around 800 sqkm, therefore being only slightly smaller than Berlin. When looking at the population however, Paris is much larger. The city of Paris has around 2.3 million inhabitants (Berlin 3.6), and the Metropolitan area of Paris around 12 million (Berlin around 5). So to claim that Berlin is 9 times larger than Paris - although being de facto correct - gives a bit of a wrong impression, if you ask me. It either makes Paris look a lot smaller than it actually is, or Berlin a lot larger than it actually is, depending on the perspective. A wee dodgy, wouldn't you agree?😂🍻 Greetings from 🇩🇪
2:14 escaping is human instinct that's not chargeable. Helping someone to break out is illegal or if you threaten someone or take someone hostage or hurt someone this will be punished 7:10 if you stand on the Autobahn because you ran out of fuel (this is visible) and got caught by the police you would be charged 😅. We have a saying, “Where is no plaintiff, there is no judge.”😅 PS I love your serie thanks 😊
The term "breaking out of prison without penalty" is misleading in this context. A more accurate term would be "to escape your prison sentence" (as correctly used in the video). Just the term "breaking out" seems to inherent some violent behavior. And you will get extra time for any violent behavior or property damage you commit while trying to escape. But if you just manage to sneak out ? No harm, no foul . The Police will surely try to catch you and bring you back to serve the rest of your sentence. But there will be no extra sentence for trying to become free again.
If you are fond of bridges you should visit Hamburg rather than Berlin. A) It has even more bridges (2500 vs 2100 - Venice has about 400) and b) both, city and bridges are prettier. Besides that, people in Hamburg are nicer to tourists. 😉
The thing with HIV is not only related to germans. 1 of 100 europeans have this genetic defect. Which causes the immunity, but also a higher risk for an earlier death by other illnesses.
breaking out of jail itself isnt illegal but while breaking out youre gonna damage things, or might steal something like a tool to break out, and on top of that when you break out you still got the prisoners clothes on you so youre literally stealing them while breaking out. so the breaking out ITSELF isnt illegal yet all these other things are illegal indeed and you probably wont get around any of them
6:55 Every vehicle has a fuel level indicator; every driver is obliged to make sure there is enough fuel in the tank before driving on the motorway. After all, the Autobahn is a very dangerous road, especially because there are largely no speed limits in Germany.
The birth rates in Germany and Japan are no longer the lowest in the world. Apart from a few micro/city states and islands, it is currently South Korea, China and Ukraine. In Germany it is rising slightly, but at 1.58 it is still too low to compensate for the number of deaths, which would statistically require 2.1. The total population is also currently ~84.1 million. The escape rate from prisons is actually relatively moderate, in swiss its 4 times higher. I live near an open prison and even here only one has tried in the last 8 years, even though they work out here every day without chains. 😁
If the escapee is caught, the sentence will be extended by the number of days the escapee was out of prison. In addition, the escaped person will be charged for the costs of the apprehension. As most people cannot afford these amounts, further recovery proceedings are initiated, which in most cases leads to an extension of the prison sentence. But yes, escaping from prison in itself is not punishable.
Article 1 of the German constitution: (1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority. (2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world. (3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive and the judiciary as directly applicable law. Does it make sense to you now that you cannot be punished for breaking out of jail in Germany? Look, the authorities will go into overdrive to catch you and to get you back into jail, of course. You haven't fully served the sentence that was legally given to you by a court of law, after all. And you can, and most probably will be indicted for every criminal offence that you committed to actually break out of jail ( i.e. damage to property, assault, fraud etc.), but the instinctive act of trying to regain freedom as such simply can't be a statutory offence according to article 1 of the German constitution. Noone would be mad at a little bird that escapes from its cage, would they? Of course not, they know the little birdy wants to fly away, that's why they put him in a cage, right? They would be mad at themselves for not having payed enough attention or for not having taken enough precautions, but everyone knows deep down that the little birdy just wants to fly around freely. Sure, one might get a little mad if the little bugger destroyed a valuable painting or killed one's cat during the act, but hey, a bird has to do what a bird has to do to be a free little bird. We all understand that, deep down, don't we? 🐦🤗🤷🍻
They don't get more prison time for escaping or trying to escape, but when they get caught and go back to prison, they get punishment inside the prison, e.g. isolation for a certain amount of time (but this is not very long, weeks, not months). It's illegal to stop on highways, running out of fuel is not an excuse (check your tank before going on the highway and fill it if you have to).
I think with the current state of technology it is not yet possible to rely entirely on renewable energies. I mean what happens when it's cloudy and no wind? You need a type of energy that can absorb this time. At the moment I don't see any type of energy that can be increased to such a level that it can replace wind and solar for this short period of time.
In germany your tank will not get checked. You will just get a fine if you get caught running out on fuel, because of the endangerment. Unlike other countries on our highways you can have passages with no km/h limit. So our highways are very dangerous. As for schools I am a 1992 kid and my school closed 5 years after I graduated. In my las school year there where no 5th graders at all. And no it was not because of the war, lol. WW II happened 40 years prior. It was because of sex ed was slowly taken more seriously, condoms became a thing and woman started to go more the half time route than being a housewife.
It is not due to the war, that germany had fewer chilidren, it is due to rising living and social standards. When a population gets over a certain level of living standards, healthcare etc, birth rates start to fall to around 1.2-1.4, wich is not able to sustain the population size. Most western nations suffer from this effect
The actual act of breaking out of jail isn't punishable in Germany. However any accompanying crimes such as theft, property damage, etc can and will be added to the sentence. In addition any leniency and bonuses for an inmate for good behavior can and will be reduced if they successfully perform a breakout and are recaptured. Obviously the inmate will still have to serve the remainder of their sentence. Again, any consideration of shortening their term for good behavior will be cut after any jailbreak attempts. The mention of 1/3 of women not finding a husband was after World War ONE, not two. Nope, the average men to women is roughly 49% to 51% the world over in most populations. A few outliers exist, agreed, but the mean of countries has roughly this ratio. It has little to nothing to do with the wars. Running out fuel due to simply failing to refuel is the part where it is illegal. The number of petrol stations directly on the Autobahn as well as along the towns along the Autobahn are incredibly dense. You normally can reach a petrol station without ANY problems once your warning light for low petrol lights up. As such the German law says that you are obviously negligent in your care for others, as a car running out of petrol can suddenly find a lot of its assistant systems like ABS, airbags, etc failing instantly. This creates a hazard for yourself and others. In addition, remember that Germany has long stretches of the Autobahn without speed limits, meaning that a car suddenly running out of fuel at high speeds would start to slow down quickly, and often uncontrollably. That is another hazard. All of these combined make running out of fuel illegal. However that does not mean that your car isn't allowed to break down for other reasons. If by very bad luck you have a leaky fuel pipe, ditto for a petrol tank, that counts as an unavoidable accident or malfunction you couldn't know about beforehand. Declining population: yes, Germany has had quite low birth rates, too low actually to sustain the general population. That's why we NEED, desperately need immigration to sustain our societal model where the young support the pensions and healthcare payments for the old and infirm by their taxes and social contributions. That's what the xenophobes don't understand. BTW: the video may have been correct for the decade 2010-2019 but since 2020 Germany has grown slightly and just at the end of 2023 reached 84 million population. The TH-cam block has already been lifted several years ago as the GEMA and Meta/Google/TH-cam came to an agreement. The GEMA is a council that arranges for the payment of license fees for publicly released artists' works to said artists. They charge a general fee to any company that releases such works to the public and distribute it to the relevant artists according to their market shares. As TH-cam didn't want to pay said fees they simply blocked a lot of TH-camrs from being watched in Germany. However since more than eight years now that has been a thing of the past, so you can see how dated this video was. Fanta was a development by the German Coca Cola company in WW2 as they couldn't recieve the Coke syrup from the USA due to the general embargo on Germany. Obviously the recipe for Coke is still among the best guarded company secrets around the globe, and wouldn't be released during WW2 either. So the managers of the German Coca Cola company sat down and discussed what they should do with the other ingredients they still had available. Voila, Fanta was born. It was however NOTHING like the Fanta we know today. It contained milk serum (basically cleared whey) and several other components. Only after the war did the Coca Cola company aquire the recipe for Fanta, and changed it considerably to basically what we know today as Fanta. Hamburg easily beat Berlin to the multi-confessional building. The Ark in Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg was finished long before the project in Berlin even took off. Since then this building houses prayer and discussion rooms for the three major mono-theistic religions. Parodies about Nazis should be clearly delineated as such. While Germans DO have a sense of humor, it stops pretty much at Nazi humor. Making fun OF Nazis is ok, making fun WITH Nazis isn't. Subtle but important distinction for Germans today. We don't think using the Nazi salute is a particularly suitable joke as the subject matter is just too dark. But never, ever make a Nazi salute in Germany where it isn't absolutely crystal clear that it is poking fun AT Nazis. Obviously don't make such a tasteless joke at ANY memorial to the victims of the Nazis. That can lead to very dark looks at the perpetrator at best, and a swift, unreported beating by the bystanders at worst. The renewable energy ratio has risen to well over 50% by now. Depending on weather (especially wind) Germany has reached 100% on some days during winter in the last five years. Yepp, many companies during the years 1933-1945 collaborated with the Nazis, either unwillingly or actively supportive. Boss saw it as a chance to recover his recently bankrupted company after the stock market crash of 1929. Boss became a member of the NSDAP in 1931, two years before the power grab of 1933. However Boss wasn't the ONLY company producing uniforms for the Nazis; he was one among many. Since 1938 uniforms were in great demand due to the war preparation efforts as well as the general conscription laws being reintroduced. Boss however was NOT the designer of the Nazi uniforms, simply one of many manufacturers. The actual designer of the SS uniforms was the artist Karl Diebisch. Others were designers for other uniform styles. So that was simply a social media myth regurgitated over and over until it became an 'alternative fact'. The supposed German inventions all rest upon the shoulders of many intellectual giants from all over the world. NONE of these inventions would have been possible without the giants coming before them. None of these inventions happened in a vaccuum. Credit where credit is due. For the TV that could also go to a Scotsman. Programmable calculator depends on how you define programmable, in which case that could go to the Turks from the 17th century as well. That's why it is so difficult to pinpoint ONE exact datum in history for the creation of something for the very first time.
During the First World War, when Great Britain was fighting against Germany, King George V changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor. and as a German I also learnt something about Germany, I didn't know about HIV and HUGO BOSS until today
But when it comes to the prison break, there is a condition And the condition is yes, you won't be punished for it, but the condition, as I said, is that you're not allowed to hurt anyone else because if you hurt someone else, that's one thing Assault and that is a separate crime
When it comes to bridges, it's actually Hamburg that has most of them. Berlin's in there because it's the capital. The lack of children concerns almost every western country. The rise in childbirths started with the "open border policy". Not going into detail, else this comment might get deleted by TH-cam! The ratio between men vs. women is also due to statistical life span. Women tend to live longer than men.
I'll happily go into 'detail': immigrants have more children on average, and it causes right-wingers all kinds of apocalyptic fantasies, from "we're being replaced" to "mentioning the difference in birthrates gets you silenced and persecuted". The effect is reduced over time though - the descendants of the Gastarbeiter from the 60s and 70s have about as many kids as anyone else and Germans have not been replaced yet.
if you break out of jail....you have to destroy stuff or hurt people. this is punishebal. but not to try it. and women/men....it was WW1 not WW2 so it is over 100 years^^
In terms of population Berlin is the biggest city in the EU. In terms of size it's the 3rd biggest behind Rome and Zaragoza. But it always depends on what your definition of "the city" actually is and in a bigger European picture Berlin is #5 behind Istanbul, Moscow, London and St. Petersburg. But again it depends a lot on what you claim "the city" is. Because by some definition Paris could be bigger than Berlin and London. The bridges is most certainly true but I wouldn't know why that is surprising. Venice is less than half the size of Berlin. Both Hamburg and Amsterdam also have substantially more bridges than Venice. For the same reason.
I wouldn't assume that the shortage of children is the sole reason; it is probably more unprofitable to run a school with 200 students than one with 500 children. As a result, many village schools and smaller schools in cities were closed. Similarly in the kindergarten area, you would rather run a large one with 100 children than one with 30 children! Which, as a mother, I find inappropriate, as there are many children who get along much better in smaller schools or kindergartens!
While you won't get charged for the attempted or successful jailbreak, you will be charged for any damages, injuries or deaths you caused during your escape.
You might also loose benefits, like shorter jail time etc.
Also Stealing while the jailbreak a uniform or keys can also be charged but not if you escape successfully without doing any other crime.
And of course you shouldn't forget, that you have to finish your normal jail time, once they capture you.
Theft if you still weare the prison cloths also . True fact
@@dogpower41 As most inmates in Germany wear their own clothing that isn't a true fact. True fact that.
The escape from prison not carrying extra sentence is quite common in Europe, same in Nordic countries, Netherlands and Belgium as well. Also in Australia. But any crime commited in the attempt to break out can be charged. Just no extra jailtime for breaking out
Regarding the running out of fuel being illegal this is what the German traffic fine catalogue says about it:
"If a car is on the motorway without petrol and the driver is forced to stop due to a lack of petrol, this can be expensive in Germany. Stopping on the motorway and also on a motor road can be punished with a fine of 35 euros. Stopping for more than three minutes is considered parking. And parking on motor roads and motorways is punishable by a fine of 70 euros.
This is not the case if a driver breaks down with his vehicle. But a lack of fuel is considered avoidable and is therefore not considered a breakdown. Breaking down due to lack of fuel will therefore result in a penalty.
For the fact that the tank is empty, the penalty can also be different. If an accident occurs due to the vehicle breaking down due to a lack of fuel, the driver can also be prosecuted for gross negligence."
Exactly. It is reckless to get on the Autobahn without enough fuel, could easily cause a crash. The car is "not road-worthy" for the task at hand and it is a sort of "reckless driving", so it logically follows that it is punished accordingly.
ONLY the act of escaping is covered, not what u do to achieve it ^^
Therefore you'd only be able to escape without criminal offences when the doors of the prison are wide open. And even in that case: The police will still search for and arrest you for the time you had to serve.
@@edincuric3873 or u use a bathroom window whilst on a external visit to the a specialist, just get creativ ^^
The fact that the Tsar (Russia), William II (Germany) and King George V were cousins is due to the fact that Queen Victoria had married her daughters to their fathers and George V was the grandson.
Queen Victoria is therefore often referred to as the "Grandmother of Europe", as she married all but one of her daughters to monarchs.
Even Elizabeth ll and Prince Philip are indirectly related - Alice of Battenberg (his mother) is the granddaughter of her daughter Alice.
Her husband was German, by the way. Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. 🙃
And a first rate b****! (Queen Victoria) 🙈 No, seriously... Aweful, AWEFUL person and mother!! That's of course almost never mentioned when there are documentaries about her reign. "Grandmother of Europe" has a far more pleasant ring to it.
The video you watched is about 8 years old. Back then the GEMA (Society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction rights) had no agreement with youtube and other online platforms. If you want to publicly play music in Germany, you will have to pay royalties to the GEMA, which will then distribute it to the musicians. Due to this, youtube took the easy way and blocked all music videos and videos featuring licensed music in Germany. You could obviously circumvent this with a VPN, but these days the GEMA has reached an agreement with youtube and we can enjoy music on youtube.
Germany has 84.3 million inhabitants
UK 67.3 million inhabitants
Experts like to argue about how to compare the sizes of cities. Greater London (9 million inhabitants) is smaller than Greater Paris (12.5 million inhabitants), and Greater Berlin (6.2 million inhabitants) is smaller than London.
But the cities are divided differently:
Paris - the core city has 2 million inhabitants and Berlin the core city has 3.7 million inhabitants. London was enlarged many times and independent towns were added to the core city. Paris didn't do what London did and is therefore "smaller" than London or Berlin (but not 9 times smaller).
Well I wouldn't compare the size of cities with the number of inhabitants but area instead. Which fits the 9x actually kind of. Cause the core city of Paris is nearly 9x smaller than Berlin's. In the Urban and Metro areas the difference is less.
Fanta beeing invented in nazi Germany does not mean it was invented by nazis. There have been other ordinary citizens living here.
also the fanta back then has nothing to do with todays fanta, it was mostly made of suggar, whey and apple pomace. the one out of orange juice came later in 1955 on the market and was made in italy
Immunity to HIV is not 100% immunity. In Western Europe, there is a genetic defect that affects one of the receptors on the cell that most HIV variants need to enter the cell. This genetic defect occurs in approximately 10-15 percent of Western Europe. In Germany, around 1 percent of the population has inherited this genetic defect from both parents. So, the statement is in the video. However, other HIV variants use different receptors to enter the cell. The genetic defect does not help with these.
But overall, I love your reactions and love your effort to learn so much about my country! Lovely greetings from a small city near Dortmund :)
Hi Dwayne, nice to see your videos about Germany in a british perspective. Iam German and interested in history (okay, normally medieval history of England/Scotland, Holy Roman Empire ).
Queen Victorias Title was also Princess of House Hannover (Welfen) and Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. Her husband was a German Albert of Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha. Her son King Edward VII. was king during WWI and in these times the king renamend the house to Windsor in 1917. The same was with the late Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, the name of his house was also German dominated, House Battenberg in Germany was renamed in Britain to Mountbatten was nearly at the same time as the renaming of Windsor. In the linage of House Windsor, the first person that could be called english ist Prince Georg of Wales. It was already known in Lower-Saxony (Niedersachsen) from time to time members of the house Windsor were in private visit to their "international family" in Hannover.
There is more worldwide important thinks from Germany like:
Book priting

Bicycle

and many more
I'd recommend you watch a few videos on jails in Germany. Most foreign people find them shocking.
They are shocked because life is better in a German prison than on a cruise ship.
The act itself it is. Due to Manuel Kant in the 19th century. He said something what is now §2 in our "Grundgesetz" (Constitution) it is: "Die Freiheit der Person ist unverletzlich" or "The freedom of a person is undeniable". He said it because it is a natural human instinct to have a wish for freedom.
Whatever happens during that outbreak however...
And to answer the question: No. We dont have many outbreaks. Maybe one or two in the last 10-15 years? Attempts however... we don't know. I believe they don't make every try public.
The low birth rate: The cost of living are so high that both women and men has to work to even rent a relative small flat in the city. And most woman nowadays are putting a childish after a career. Thats why the most woman are 29 when they got their first child. And this number is climbing into the thirties.
I'm German and moved to Switzerland a few years ago, and I do NOT regret it. Most Germans who leave Germany go to Switzerland. More expensive but also higher salaries and lower taxes + better infrastructure and safety.
16:05 August 1960: Start of a world career. The Beatles' career began in Hamburg on August 17, 1960. This evening the Fab Four take the stage of “Indra” in the Große Freiheit for the first time.
Hey Dwayne, greetings from Berlin. Yes its True, there is no punishment, when you try to escape from Prison. BUT, if you destroy something, on your way out, or if you steal something from the Prison(Clothes..etc) on your way out, you will get punished for that crimes. So there is almost no way, to get out of Prison, without punishment
Presumably, the whole thing about breaking out of prison was simply misunderstood. It means that he does not receive any additional punishment for the escape, except for the new crimes committed with the escape, e.g. threatening or even injuring guards or damaging property in order to escape.
The only issue is that he does not receive any additional punishment for the escape itself. And the sentence for which he was sent to prison is not erased by the escape. So if he is caught after the escape, he will still have to complete the punishment.
hugo boss neither designed the Wehrmacht nor the ss uniforms, his company only produced some of them, but he was a high ranked member of the NSDAP (Nazi party) like every other buisness owner in that time. The actual designers where Karl Diebitsch and Walter Heck
-You still are punished for damage made during the jailbreak, and when they catch you again you wont be taken into special prison programs anymore, like work programs that give you the opportunity to earn money during prison time.
-It is easy to identify a car without gas, it stands still and does not start anymore, a cop can tell you to turn the key and you can see stuff like a blinking gas reserve light and the tank indicator won't move.
-Yeah the Coca Cola syrup was on the embargo list, and the chemists at the german coca cola branch had to come up with something new so they took stuff that still was available and made Fanta, btw. the Fanta you drink today is not the same receipt as the "Nazi Fanta".
-The punishment for the "nazi salute" is excluded from artistic stuff, so when you play a role in a theater/movie/reenactment you wont be punished, but when you do that in public on a neo nazi demo you might end up in prison.
Why does they always think that breaking out of jail will delete the left over sentence for the crime he does before.
You got 10 years sentence, still 8 years left and then you break out of jail.
They catch you and you will then do the left 8 Years but didn't get extra 5 Years for the CRIME OF BREAK OUT OF PRISON - Because this is not a Crime in Germany or Austria (As I remember correct).
true
In Germany, the purpose of a prison is not to punish, but to protect society and the offender himself from himself until rehabilitation has taken place. It is primarily about reintegration into society.
P.S.: the uniforms weren't designed by Hugo Boss, he only manufactured them. For the immunity to HIV, I once read it was in descendants of people who caught the plague during the Middle Ages, but survived. There must be a few of those in other European countries, too.
And also noted that while Jailbreak isnt punished in a legal sense, trying to escape destroys your chance on parole.
This old video is not only a bit old, it has also some things a little bit wrong.
ad 2) Berlin has a bigger area within city limits, but a smaller population than Paris. Within the city limits you can find also some lakes (big enough for sailing boats and small ships) and woods (big enough for military training areas and wildfires). It shares the claim of having more bridges than Venice with many other cities (Hamburg has 2,472 bridges, Vienna 1,700, Amsterdam 1,281, Berlin 960, Duisburg 650, Venice 450).
ad 3) If you break out of jail, police will try to catch you to serve the rest of your sentence. If you broke nothing and hurt nobody while breaking out however you'll not get an additional sentence, only maybe lose some privileges.
ad 5) WW I, not WW II. I could not find the source for the numbers he mentioned. After WW II it was about 160 women to 100 men (of whose some came back from Soviet war captivity only in the 1950s and many were traumatized and war-disabled).
ad 6) It is a traffic offence because it causes an avoidable traffic hazard.
ad 7) It was not only the scarcity of children, but also of money - it was a misdirected attempt to save public money. It was also partly a consequence of the reunification in 1989 - many of the closed down schools were in the East, since a lot of young families migrated to the West, where the jobs were. Multiple state governments (West and East) also cut down the number of study places for teachers, and now we have a massive scarcity of teachers and far too big classes.
ad 8) That was never really true. If you add FRG and GDR, there was a first decline between 1979 and 1987 (mainly due to low birth rates and a shrinking population in the GDR), followed by an continuous, but slow increase 1986-2002, then a stagnation and a slow decrease 2005-2011 (which was partly caused by statistical errors which were corrected by a micro census in 2011/2012), followed by a strong growth over the last decade. Currently Germany has about 84.4 million people (which includes however about 1 million refugees from Ukraine).
ad 9) Such fees for public universities are set by the states, not the federal governments; therefore the dates differ from state to state. And some states have still (small) tuition fees for second degrees or (in case of Baden-Württemberg) people from non-EU countries (depending on the country there can be exemptions). There are also administration fees (up to around 400 Euros per semester), which however include in most cases free use of regional public transport and member fees for student's organizations.
ad 10) Outdated, referring to a copyright dispute which is long time solved.
ad 13) The Fanta produced in Nazi Germany was made from apple peels and other things otherwise going to waste by Coca-Cola Germany. The orange-y drink now sold as Fanta was invented in the 1950s in Italy.
ad 14) Queen Victoria's eldest daughter married the Crown Prince of Prussia; her son Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, married Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia, aunt of tsar Nicholas II (whose uncles included King Frederick of Denmark and King George of Greece; another aunt was Queen Alexandra, born Princess of Denmark and wife of King Edward VII).
ad 16) It depends always on the circumstances - but there is no joking about it.
ad 17) about European average. Spanish and Italian women are some years older at their first child (in average).
ad 18) also outdated - Germany is now struggling for 50%. And solar generated electricity has the lowest production costs per kilowatt now.
ad 19) The lowest birth rates back in 2018 had Taiwan and South Korea, followed by Germany, Hong Kong and Portugal. In 2021 and 2022 South Korea, Japan, Italy, Spain, Taiwan, Greece, ... and about a dozen other countries had lower birth rates than Germany.
ad 20) That has nothing to do with Germany. About 1% of all Europeans (and Americans with European heritage) has a genetic defect which makes them immune against HIV, but more prone to other diseases.
ad 24) He got that totally wrong. It was attempted arson, which was illegal, not lighting a condom. Paul McCartney told the story once - you can find it for example at www.beatlesbible.com/1960/11/29/paul-mccartney-pete-best-arrested-hamburg/

Jailbreak: This does not overturn the original verdict, but the outbreak itself will not be prosecuted
true.
Nazi Uniforms were NOT designed by Hugo Boss. They were designed by Karl Diebitsch und Walter Heck, two SS Officers.
Hugo Boss produced them, because he was the only one who had factorys that were large enough to make the amounts of uniforms needed.
Every beeing has a natural instict to be free.
Thats why they dont charge you for a breakout.
Only if you destoy something or hurt a person
Also we have way less people in prison than many other countries.
But i was told, scandinavia would be the best countries for a stayover in jail...
The focus is mainly on rehabilitation and humanity

The lack of men was after WWI, not WWII (although there certainly was another drop then). After over a century, that's no longer a thing. One reason to close schools was that there has to be a minimum number of students in small towns or villages to keep the school open. As for our population here declining, it's due to people having less children. The decline slightly started in the 1960s when the pill became a thing and has become more pronounced with more and more people not trusting the future.
As for blocked TH-cam videos: that's down to the use of music and the German GEMA which could demand fees for music being played in them. To avoid that, videos with music that might be flagged for a fee are blocked.
EDIT: About the first cousins: The wives of both the German Emperor and the Russian Czar were daughters of Queen Victoria, which means their husbands were related to the English Royal house via their wives. Apparently, the German Emperor was actually Victoria's favourite son-in-law.
While the urban area of Berlin indeed is 8 times bigger than the urban area of Paris it is by population only about the half.
It is a safety reason
If you don't keep an eye on your vehicle's fuel gauge or overestimate how much fuel you have left, your journey may suddenly come to an end - in the worst case scenario on the highway. And that can be expensive.
According to Section 23 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO), drivers are legally obliged to have enough fuel on board for the journey. If the breakdown is deliberately accepted, it can be considered gross negligence. This can result in a fine - especially if it leads to a rear-end collision.
If you break down due to a lack of fuel, the vehicle is parked on the Side strip and then the site of the breakdown is secured with a warning triangle. A breakdown service or automobile club should then be called immediately.
An empty tank can cause damage
A tank that has been emptied to the last drop can also cause damage to the injection and fuel pump. Background: After refueling, it may be necessary to make several attempts to start the engine, as the fuel system has to bleed itself. As a result, the injection and fuel pump are no longer cooled and lubricated by the fuel, which significantly reduces their service life. There may even be a risk of total failure on site.
To: No petrol on the motorway: You drive a car on the Autobahn ? Then you must have eyes. - You have eyes? Then check the fuel gauge first. It's simply for everyone's safety. There is a petrol station at almost every exit. So... think first, then fill up, then drive. Or is that too difficult?
The Problem with only renewable Energy ist, that it is difficult to react to changes in demand. They Produce Energy when they can and not when it is needed. If we had a efficient way to store energy that problem would be solved. So you need normal Power Plants to react to the demand of the energy Net. Sometimes, when renewable powerplant generate to much Energy and can not be shut down quick enough, the Energy needs to be sold to our Neigbours. In some instances we even have to pay them to take the Energy.
jail: yes, you will not be punished for trying to escape, but if you escape by damaging the prison or hurt someone, you will be punished for property damage or... dunno the english term for hurting someone and I'm too lazy to use a translater now :D
but if you can escape without doing anything "illegal", they will only try to catch you again to lock you up for the remaining of your time
hugo boss: a lot of companys at that time had to do buisness with the "goverment". bmw, vw, porsche and so on. the situation was ... well bad, you do what they tell you or you had to face the consequences. bad bad times
If you break out of a prison, you won't be punished for breaking out, but you will be punished for, for example, property damage or bodily harm if guards stood in your way. And of course the time you still have to serve has not been forgotten xD
Me too from 1989 🎉
12:53 Electricity generation in Germany: 56 percent from renewable energies for the first time. Renewable energies are also playing an increasingly important role in electricity generation: their share of the total electricity generated rose to 56 percent in 2023, the Federal Network Agency announced on January 2nd, 2024
Yes, you won't get punished if there's a prison break outside as long as you don't hurt anyone else because bodily harm is another crime in itself
The reason why so many videos were blocked was due to legal issues between TH-cam (or rather Google) and the German performance rights organization GEMA. It has long been resolved, though - in 2016 they came to an agreement. I'm only half way through your video, but it seems like the video you are reacting to is quite outdated
For the last one, was a pleasure and always will be! You bet we got some more crazy stuff coming 😎
Yeah, it's not a illegal to break out of jail. But you have to spend all the time In prison it's only that you can't damage anything and if they find you can get put back in jail again
In Germany most times you can not choose on which school you want to go or your kids. In most cases, children must attend the school responsible for their district. In most federal states, you cannot freely choose your further school career, i.e. Hauptschule, Realschule or Gynasium. It depends solely on the grades in the 4th grade.
Fewer and fewer children are being born in Germany, but there are many more old people who die every year.
Talking to britihs politicians or the gov is a waste of time. They knew all better and only care for themselves. See Brexit.
Fanta was originated by Coka Cola Company but in Germany, because the lack of cola sirup.
Yes it is illegal to run out of gas, at least on the Autobahn. You aren't allowed to yield/ "park" on the Autobahn though, except if you are involved in an accident or your car breaks down all of a sudden.
That's why there are gas stations every 50km on both sides of the Autobahn. And of course they're a lot more expensive than other gas stations apart from the highways.
Also, you don't need to "check" how much fuel is in your tank, because literally every car has got a fuel gauge and newer cars will also show you how many kilometres/ miles you can still go with the remaining fuel and when it's time for refueling.
Regarding the low birth rate in Germany: For many young people/ especially women nowadays it's "career first", and then they're just too old to get children. Or they just don't want to have children.
I personally just became a mother last year at age of 23 and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
And yes, I'm afraid of what that whole LGBTQI discussion, transgenderism etc. will lead us to in the future. It seems like German society is constantly bashing on women as transgenders are now officially allowed into womens' restrooms etc. There is even a book for kids called "Papi, hast du ein Baby im Bauch?" (literally "Daddy, do you carry a baby in your womb?") which suggests to children that males could also carry babys and give birth, which is not just surreal, but in fact frighteningly awkward!
Hey Dwayne, I really appreciate your big interest in Germany, but I always have to smile when I hear you saying "I have to visit place A, I've got to travel to place B" and "I should go to place C", because I guess, if you started to really do it you would need a one year offtime! It would be a big, big journey. And I really whish that the possibility and wealth to do so will occur in your future!
The jailbreak thing is also the favourite mindgame of any prisoner: Some were really creativ to break out without violating any other law.
We have a lower then average breakout of jail ratio.
Mostlybecouse most prissions, apart those few for the extrem cases, are aimed at recovery, and reintroduction into the society.
Only for my hometown :
There are around 2,500 bridges in Hamburg, more than anywhere else in Europe. Even Venice and Amsterdam combined don't reach this number. As the city with the most bridges in the world, Hamburg is only surpassed by New York. There are almost 2,900 bridges there.
Hey Dwayne. About the birth rate: Kids cost a ton of money and you aren't able to push your career anymore. About the prison break: You get no extra punishment on top when you manage breaking out without hurting smo or damaging sth. Think it's nearly impossible. About Hugo Boss: Why do you think is it that the Nazi uniforms look still today so fashionable and stylish. Because they were designed by a professionell designer. And don't ask german companies what they produced between 33 and 45. They will go uuuuhm uuuuhm hu? I forgot the question.
There r two things u should not to do: 1: Don't harm anyone. 2: Don't destroy anything. Try to escape from jail is no crime in it self. And of course people wanna be free. That's the law in germany... the reason is: People wanna be free. That's an instinct.
Interestingly, escape helpers are punished. Helping to escape is a criminal offense.
The escapee will not be punished for the escape, but for any damage or offense caused by it.
Blocked videos: if it's music it's for copyright reasons. Same with films, because sometimes they're available outside Germany earlier. And then there might be content not deemed suitable for Germans. But that's my guess...
11:30
Elizabeth's husband, Prince Philip, came from the Hessian noble Battenberg family. His father was Andreas of Greece, his mother Alice of Battenberg. As a child, Philip attended the Salem boarding school in southern Germany and spoke German well.08/24/2022
Interesting that you mentioned leaving history in the past on the Hugo Boss point. So in general, past is past, yes, but it is still important to know which part, for example, still-existing companies played back then. Not to put blame on them nowadays but to process the past in the common interest. Even more so, it is kind of a big deal in Germany to question how far those companies have actually changed, if they deal with their past and how. Unfortunately, there is still a number of bigger cases where the company leaders and heirs rather like to put a big cloak of silence over everything and not speak about anything regarding that era, pretending it doesn't exist as a part of the company's history - and thus in a way denying their companies' and predecessors' (potential) involvement in the whole Nazi apparatus.
If you run out of petrol on the motorway, you'll get a €70 fine if the police catch you.
If the police see you on the hard shoulder of the motorway, they will stop to see what's going on. They will also take a look at your car's fuel gauge. And if they notice that you have run out of petrol, you will get a ticket.
You are obliged to have enough petrol in your tank when you drive on the motorway. In addition, there are plenty of exits and motorway filling stations, so there is no reason to get stuck on the motorway with an empty tank.
The reason why this is punishable is that a vehicle on the hard shoulder is always a source of danger. In contrast to a flat tyre or engine failure, an empty tank is a very easily avoidable cause that the driver of a vehicle always has an influence on preventing.
3:00 The prison escapees are of course searched for, caught and brought back to prison. They still only have to serve their original sentence and do not receive an extra punishment for their outburst!
For the invention part I really would have mentioned the printing press. Without that I don't think the information would have been as easily shared for quite some time setting us back several years on as the whole species.
You can be fined if you run out of petrol on the motorway because you are endangering others with your stuidity/lack of foresight.
The prison escape thing makes total sense. You are not being punished for your natural wish to be free. But if you take hostages or hurt or kill anyone while attempting to break out, you will be fined for those crimes. Just the harmless attempt to get out is not punishable.
When you consider all the successful and attempted jail breaks in Germany, it turns out that the overall rate is exactly average.
Wilhelm the II was the grandson of Queen Victoria!
Prisonbreak is No crime, but if you steal a Car or Hit Somebody in your break out, you get punished for this. And i think if you trie to break out a lot, they get you punished by stronger guarding and Einzelhaft (sorry for my Bad english😅)
9:26 Education is a BASIC RIGHT in Germany and is in the constitution.
It's become increasingly "redundant" to many to have children in Germany. Similar to Japan, we are a country centered around work. Children are most often an afterthought or not thought of at all.
Actually Hugo Boss didnt designe the Uniforms but produced them
Yes it is illigal to run out of fuel on the Autobahn.
Drivers have an obligation to check if their vehicle is fit for the journey,
if a driver ignores his fuel gage, the empty fuel-warning or the missfires (final warning that the engine is running on fumes), than he deserves to be fined.
p.s. It is also illegal to end up on the hard shoulder in th UK.
I never heard of a jailbreak problem in Germany
7:34 The school closings have nothing to do with the war! On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer babies being born since the 1970s (1.3 per woman) and, on the other hand, more and more people are moving from the countryside to the cities.
About the prison break: if you break out, you won't get any additional prison time for breaking out (you can be charged for damages, assault etc if you did any of this), but that didn't mean they won't try to catch you. If you are caught you'll have to serve the rest of your time.
For #3 its right there is no punishment because a human right is to be free but to get out of prison you would break another law to getting out of the jail ... with no punishment would be if u ask the officer "you can u open the door and let me out" and the officer goes "sure there u go". But thats not what happend soo normaly you would break another law like threaten somebody, using a weapon or something like that. but yeah technically its not forbidden to break out of the jail as an action but to get out of the jail u will break some other rules. ;D
The reason for so many videos being blocked in Germany is a law and it's done by GEMA, we also have to be very careful when we want to play a song at a party (obviously not in your private house but if you are using public locations outside of your private property, you need to pay them extra fees otherwise you might actually get charged a fine for playing the songs. Sounds weird, it's supposed to protect the artists but...you know...I think it's, at least up to a certain point, money making by the state, too en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEMA_(German_organization)
If you break down on the motorway here because you ran out of fuel you will face a fairly hefty fine as wellas recovery costs. Stupidity ( failing to ensure you have enough fuel in your car to get where you're going) is taken a dim view of here, and actively discouraged.
About running out of fuel on UK motorways: Whilst running out of fuel isn't illegal in itself, under current legislation, drivers can be fined a minimum of £100 and three penalty points if their car obstructs the road as a result of an avoidable breakdown, or if running out of fuel is deemed to result in careless or dangerous driving
1:48 Berlin has a size of 891 km² with almost 3.87 million inhabitants. Paris city has an area of 105.4 km² and 2.2 million inhabitants. London has 9.65 million inhabitants and is 1,579 km² in size.
This is an example of thing not to compare. Paris itself is relatively small (administratively) but the direct metropolitan area, which would otherwise be called a city, is of course much larger than Berlin!
@@to.l.2469 If you include the region around Paris, then you can do the same for Berlin, then Berlin and the surrounding area has 30,370 km², because the entire catchment area (Brandenburg) is included in many statistics. But I don't think that's possible because Berlin can't expand to the outside world because Berlin is surrounded by Brandenburg.
@@biloaffe What would generally be considered a city?
That's right, more or less connected development. And NOT what was declared in Germany as a "metropolitan region", because that is a politically defined thing in Germany and in the case of Berlin would include the whole of Brandenburg. That is a ridiculous definition.
A look at a satellite image helps to classify the whole thing in terms of area.
An alternative, less politically generous definition of the metropolitan region of Berlin and Paris can be found on Wikipedia. Accordingly: Berlin: 5.2 million, Paris: 12.14 million. In terms of area, “Paris” is only slightly larger, but much more densely populated.
@@to.l.2469 OK, but the question was the size of the cities, not the urban areas around them. Then Paris is of course much bigger. But if you go by the city, then Berlin is larger in area. If Berlin had had the opportunity to expand after WW2, then Berlin would be significantly larger than it is today. But you're right👍
@@biloaffe Was bist du denn für ein rechter Spinner? Und ein, totaler Blödsinn!
on sunny and windy days its 100% renewable
Queen Victoria was the Grandma of the German Emporer his Father was the reason why Queen Victoria want the Title Emperor of India, it can´t be that a family member has a higher Rank as she.
To compare the size of Berlin and Paris the way they do it is somewhat dodgy, in my opinion. Although technically correct - the city of Paris is around 100 sqkm and Berlin around 850sqkm - it comes with some significant caveats. For example: the administrative boundaries of the city of Paris haven't changed since 1860. It is basically the last existing 'citywall' that was build in Paris, whereas Berlin's city boundaries have constantly changed during that time, becoming larger and larger with every municipality that Berlin incorporated under its administrative umbrella, up to today with Berlin actually being a federal state. (I generously step over everything that happened between 1945 and 1990, because it's too complicated).
Today the city/federal state has a size of around 850 sqkm. Paris on the other hand is vastly different from an administrative perspective, but to keep it as simple as possible: the actual city of Paris is indeed only around 100sqkm, but there are of course dozens and dozens of municipalities that are so closely associated with the 'core-city' of Paris, that it is virtually impossible to draw a clear distinction between them. It is generally accepted, that the core metropolitan area of Paris is around 800 sqkm, therefore being only slightly smaller than Berlin. When looking at the population however, Paris is much larger. The city of Paris has around 2.3 million inhabitants (Berlin 3.6), and the Metropolitan area of Paris around 12 million (Berlin around 5).
So to claim that Berlin is 9 times larger than Paris - although being de facto correct - gives a bit of a wrong impression, if you ask me. It either makes Paris look a lot smaller than it actually is, or Berlin a lot larger than it actually is, depending on the perspective.
A wee dodgy, wouldn't you agree?😂🍻
Greetings from 🇩🇪
2:14 escaping is human instinct that's not chargeable. Helping someone to break out is illegal or if you threaten someone or take someone hostage or hurt someone this will be punished
7:10 if you stand on the Autobahn because you ran out of fuel (this is visible) and got caught by the police you would be charged 😅. We have a saying, “Where is no plaintiff, there is no judge.”😅
PS I love your serie thanks 😊
The term "breaking out of prison without penalty" is misleading in this context. A more accurate term would be "to escape your prison sentence" (as correctly used in the video). Just the term "breaking out" seems to inherent some violent behavior. And you will get extra time for any violent behavior or property damage you commit while trying to escape. But if you just manage to sneak out ? No harm, no foul . The Police will surely try to catch you and bring you back to serve the rest of your sentence. But there will be no extra sentence for trying to become free again.
If you are fond of bridges you should visit Hamburg rather than Berlin. A) It has even more bridges (2500 vs 2100 - Venice has about 400) and b) both, city and bridges are prettier. Besides that, people in Hamburg are nicer to tourists. 😉
2:30 You just don't get fined additionally. But surely you need to go back to prison afterwards if you get cought again.
The thing with HIV is not only related to germans. 1 of 100 europeans have this genetic defect. Which causes the immunity, but also a higher risk for an earlier death by other illnesses.
breaking out of jail itself isnt illegal but while breaking out youre gonna damage things, or might steal something like a tool to break out, and on top of that when you break out you still got the prisoners clothes on you so youre literally stealing them while breaking out. so the breaking out ITSELF isnt illegal yet all these other things are illegal indeed and you probably wont get around any of them
6:55 Every vehicle has a fuel level indicator; every driver is obliged to make sure there is enough fuel in the tank before driving on the motorway. After all, the Autobahn is a very dangerous road, especially because there are largely no speed limits in Germany.
The birth rates in Germany and Japan are no longer the lowest in the world. Apart from a few micro/city states and islands, it is currently South Korea, China and Ukraine. In Germany it is rising slightly, but at 1.58 it is still too low to compensate for the number of deaths, which would statistically require 2.1.
The total population is also currently ~84.1 million.
The escape rate from prisons is actually relatively moderate, in swiss its 4 times higher. I live near an open prison and even here only one has tried in the last 8 years, even though they work out here every day without chains. 😁
If the escapee is caught, the sentence will be extended by the number of days the escapee was out of prison. In addition, the escaped person will be charged for the costs of the apprehension. As most people cannot afford these amounts, further recovery proceedings are initiated, which in most cases leads to an extension of the prison sentence.
But yes, escaping from prison in itself is not punishable.
Article 1 of the German constitution:
(1) Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority.
(2) The German people therefore acknowledge inviolable and inalienable human rights as the basis of every community, of peace and of justice in the world.
(3) The following basic rights shall bind the legislature, the executive and the judiciary as directly applicable law.
Does it make sense to you now that you cannot be punished for breaking out of jail in Germany?
Look, the authorities will go into overdrive to catch you and to get you back into jail, of course. You haven't fully served the sentence that was legally given to you by a court of law, after all. And you can, and most probably will be indicted for every criminal offence that you committed to actually break out of jail ( i.e. damage to property, assault, fraud etc.), but the instinctive act of trying to regain freedom as such simply can't be a statutory offence according to article 1 of the German constitution.
Noone would be mad at a little bird that escapes from its cage, would they? Of course not, they know the little birdy wants to fly away, that's why they put him in a cage, right? They would be mad at themselves for not having payed enough attention or for not having taken enough precautions, but everyone knows deep down that the little birdy just wants to fly around freely. Sure, one might get a little mad if the little bugger destroyed a valuable painting or killed one's cat during the act, but hey, a bird has to do what a bird has to do to be a free little bird. We all understand that, deep down, don't we? 🐦🤗🤷🍻
They don't get more prison time for escaping or trying to escape, but when they get caught and go back to prison, they get punishment inside the prison, e.g. isolation for a certain amount of time (but this is not very long, weeks, not months).
It's illegal to stop on highways, running out of fuel is not an excuse (check your tank before going on the highway and fill it if you have to).
Hugo Boss at this time didn't do fashion but work clothing.
I think with the current state of technology it is not yet possible to rely entirely on renewable energies.
I mean what happens when it's cloudy and no wind?
You need a type of energy that can absorb this time.
At the moment I don't see any type of energy that can be increased to such a level that it can replace wind and solar for this short period of time.
In germany your tank will not get checked. You will just get a fine if you get caught running out on fuel, because of the endangerment. Unlike other countries on our highways you can have passages with no km/h limit. So our highways are very dangerous.
As for schools I am a 1992 kid and my school closed 5 years after I graduated. In my las school year there where no 5th graders at all. And no it was not because of the war, lol. WW II happened 40 years prior. It was because of sex ed was slowly taken more seriously, condoms became a thing and woman started to go more the half time route than being a housewife.
It is not due to the war, that germany had fewer chilidren, it is due to rising living and social standards.
When a population gets over a certain level of living standards, healthcare etc, birth rates start to fall to around 1.2-1.4, wich is not able to sustain the population size. Most western nations suffer from this effect
The actual act of breaking out of jail isn't punishable in Germany. However any accompanying crimes such as theft, property damage, etc can and will be added to the sentence. In addition any leniency and bonuses for an inmate for good behavior can and will be reduced if they successfully perform a breakout and are recaptured. Obviously the inmate will still have to serve the remainder of their sentence. Again, any consideration of shortening their term for good behavior will be cut after any jailbreak attempts.
The mention of 1/3 of women not finding a husband was after World War ONE, not two.
Nope, the average men to women is roughly 49% to 51% the world over in most populations. A few outliers exist, agreed, but the mean of countries has roughly this ratio. It has little to nothing to do with the wars.
Running out fuel due to simply failing to refuel is the part where it is illegal. The number of petrol stations directly on the Autobahn as well as along the towns along the Autobahn are incredibly dense. You normally can reach a petrol station without ANY problems once your warning light for low petrol lights up. As such the German law says that you are obviously negligent in your care for others, as a car running out of petrol can suddenly find a lot of its assistant systems like ABS, airbags, etc failing instantly. This creates a hazard for yourself and others. In addition, remember that Germany has long stretches of the Autobahn without speed limits, meaning that a car suddenly running out of fuel at high speeds would start to slow down quickly, and often uncontrollably. That is another hazard. All of these combined make running out of fuel illegal. However that does not mean that your car isn't allowed to break down for other reasons. If by very bad luck you have a leaky fuel pipe, ditto for a petrol tank, that counts as an unavoidable accident or malfunction you couldn't know about beforehand.
Declining population: yes, Germany has had quite low birth rates, too low actually to sustain the general population. That's why we NEED, desperately need immigration to sustain our societal model where the young support the pensions and healthcare payments for the old and infirm by their taxes and social contributions. That's what the xenophobes don't understand.
BTW: the video may have been correct for the decade 2010-2019 but since 2020 Germany has grown slightly and just at the end of 2023 reached 84 million population.
The TH-cam block has already been lifted several years ago as the GEMA and Meta/Google/TH-cam came to an agreement. The GEMA is a council that arranges for the payment of license fees for publicly released artists' works to said artists. They charge a general fee to any company that releases such works to the public and distribute it to the relevant artists according to their market shares. As TH-cam didn't want to pay said fees they simply blocked a lot of TH-camrs from being watched in Germany. However since more than eight years now that has been a thing of the past, so you can see how dated this video was.
Fanta was a development by the German Coca Cola company in WW2 as they couldn't recieve the Coke syrup from the USA due to the general embargo on Germany. Obviously the recipe for Coke is still among the best guarded company secrets around the globe, and wouldn't be released during WW2 either. So the managers of the German Coca Cola company sat down and discussed what they should do with the other ingredients they still had available. Voila, Fanta was born. It was however NOTHING like the Fanta we know today. It contained milk serum (basically cleared whey) and several other components. Only after the war did the Coca Cola company aquire the recipe for Fanta, and changed it considerably to basically what we know today as Fanta.
Hamburg easily beat Berlin to the multi-confessional building. The Ark in Wilhelmsburg, Hamburg was finished long before the project in Berlin even took off. Since then this building houses prayer and discussion rooms for the three major mono-theistic religions.
Parodies about Nazis should be clearly delineated as such. While Germans DO have a sense of humor, it stops pretty much at Nazi humor.
Making fun OF Nazis is ok, making fun WITH Nazis isn't. Subtle but important distinction for Germans today.
We don't think using the Nazi salute is a particularly suitable joke as the subject matter is just too dark.
But never, ever make a Nazi salute in Germany where it isn't absolutely crystal clear that it is poking fun AT Nazis. Obviously don't make such a tasteless joke at ANY memorial to the victims of the Nazis. That can lead to very dark looks at the perpetrator at best, and a swift, unreported beating by the bystanders at worst.
The renewable energy ratio has risen to well over 50% by now. Depending on weather (especially wind) Germany has reached 100% on some days during winter in the last five years.
Yepp, many companies during the years 1933-1945 collaborated with the Nazis, either unwillingly or actively supportive. Boss saw it as a chance to recover his recently bankrupted company after the stock market crash of 1929. Boss became a member of the NSDAP in 1931, two years before the power grab of 1933. However Boss wasn't the ONLY company producing uniforms for the Nazis; he was one among many. Since 1938 uniforms were in great demand due to the war preparation efforts as well as the general conscription laws being reintroduced. Boss however was NOT the designer of the Nazi uniforms, simply one of many manufacturers. The actual designer of the SS uniforms was the artist Karl Diebisch. Others were designers for other uniform styles. So that was simply a social media myth regurgitated over and over until it became an 'alternative fact'.
The supposed German inventions all rest upon the shoulders of many intellectual giants from all over the world. NONE of these inventions would have been possible without the giants coming before them. None of these inventions happened in a vaccuum. Credit where credit is due. For the TV that could also go to a Scotsman. Programmable calculator depends on how you define programmable, in which case that could go to the Turks from the 17th century as well. That's why it is so difficult to pinpoint ONE exact datum in history for the creation of something for the very first time.
During the First World War, when Great Britain was fighting against Germany, King George V changed the family name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.
and as a German I also learnt something about Germany, I didn't know about HIV and HUGO BOSS until today
The reason for the low birth rate is probably the same in Germany and Japan. Women prioritize their own career over children.
But when it comes to the prison break, there is a condition And the condition is yes, you won't be punished for it, but the condition, as I said, is that you're not allowed to hurt anyone else because if you hurt someone else, that's one thing Assault and that is a separate crime
It is also illegal in the UK to run out of petrol on the motorway
When it comes to bridges, it's actually Hamburg that has most of them. Berlin's in there because it's the capital. The lack of children concerns almost every western country. The rise in childbirths started with the "open border policy". Not going into detail, else this comment might get deleted by TH-cam! The ratio between men vs. women is also due to statistical life span. Women tend to live longer than men.
I'll happily go into 'detail': immigrants have more children on average, and it causes right-wingers all kinds of apocalyptic fantasies, from "we're being replaced" to "mentioning the difference in birthrates gets you silenced and persecuted".
The effect is reduced over time though - the descendants of the Gastarbeiter from the 60s and 70s have about as many kids as anyone else and Germans have not been replaced yet.
its same in sweden about the jail thing.
if you break out of jail....you have to destroy stuff or hurt people. this is punishebal. but not to try it. and women/men....it was WW1 not WW2 so it is over 100 years^^
In terms of population Berlin is the biggest city in the EU. In terms of size it's the 3rd biggest behind Rome and Zaragoza. But it always depends on what your definition of "the city" actually is and in a bigger European picture Berlin is #5 behind Istanbul, Moscow, London and St. Petersburg. But again it depends a lot on what you claim "the city" is. Because by some definition Paris could be bigger than Berlin and London. The bridges is most certainly true but I wouldn't know why that is surprising. Venice is less than half the size of Berlin. Both Hamburg and Amsterdam also have substantially more bridges than Venice. For the same reason.
I wouldn't assume that the shortage of children is the sole reason; it is probably more unprofitable to run a school with 200 students than one with 500 children. As a result, many village schools and smaller schools in cities were closed. Similarly in the kindergarten area, you would rather run a large one with 100 children than one with 30 children!
Which, as a mother, I find inappropriate, as there are many children who get along much better in smaller schools or kindergartens!
I did know them. And its always a beautiful day for me 😊
