Würzburg is also the town where some guy named Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen figured out X-Rays by accident, 100 years before Nowitzki went to play in the NBA. For that he received the first Nobel prize ever for physics in 1901
And the house where he discovered X-rays is still there today. Nowadays it's a part of the university of applied siences (don't know if this is the right translation for Fachhochschule XD)
Klugscheißer
If you ever go back to Würzburg, at the old city hall there's a little side entrance leading to a small exhibition documenting the destruction of the city in WW2: it includes a scale model of the old city showing the extent of the damage.
The sad part of it was that the bombing of the city was unnecessary. It came right at the end of the war. About 80% to 90% of the city was destroyed and at least 4,000 people killed in 17 minutes; the resulting firestorm reached temperatures of up to 2000°C. The scale of the destruction was worse than that of Dresden.
Spot on about Würzburg! - but you're far too reserved to refer to your own, fantastic Würzburg video from your excellent destination series on German cities and landscapes. So as a public service announcement I'll link it here with the best recommendations:
th-cam.com/video/WqNE7FMynMo/w-d-xo.html
Watch rewboss video about Berlin and come visit us :) (and maybe the Rebells ^^)
Well, a year or so earlier your forefathers completly destroyed Warsaw, burning it to the ground house by house. I think this was more than a fair retribution: th-cam.com/video/yy1kOwUyEsM/w-d-xo.html
By the way, they killed ab. 200.000 citizens of Warsaw in process.
You need to know that I'm not German, but British, so "my forefathers" had no part to play in that particular atrocity. "My forefathers" attacked Würzburg and Dresden, as well as Düsseldorf, Cologne, Frankfurt, Lübeck and many, many other cities. Indeed, they deliberately set out to target civilians, especially the working classes, rather than military or industrial targets. But not for "retribution": it was to break the country's morale.
Retribution is never, ever a good reason to kill. That is what causes wars in the first place, and that was the primary motivation of the Nazis' persecution of the Jews. The British were trying to stop a murderous and tyrannical regime, and not by trying to prove they were more murderous and more tyrannical: we weren't trying to out-Nazi the Nazis. It was at the time, and still is, a subject of debate as to whether the ends truly justified the means.
Props for the Zelda reference! :D
dude the best game of all time
Definitely one of the best! My personal favorite is Secret of Mana for the Snes! Also, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Illusion of Time and Terranigma :D
He talked about Zelda and made a little nerd happy (^o^)
I concur :) !!!
@@NALFVLOGS not like this come on man :D
Thuringia right next to Narnia
Suhl is known for manufacturing guns (hunting rifles and such), so of course they'd be named "Gunslingers" ;-)
Ah! I wondered!
I was born and raised in Thuringia in 1982 and never lived elsewhere. I got goose bumps when you talked about Thuringia. Thank you for that.Clearly I did not get much more from the GDR, but I was still a pioneer. I would like to tell you how I experienced my first visit to the west. Actually, it was the south because we drove to Kulmbach across the border. ^^I stood with my mother in a huge department store and there were things I had never seen before. I remember the smell most clearly. It smelled of coffee and chocolate. I saw a big table on which there were cups. On the cups were funny pictures and in each cup were 3 tubes Smarties. This is something similar to M&Ms. Anyway, I wanted to have such a cup and have begged with my mama. She said we couldn't buy any. One cost DM 5 and we didn't have that much money to swap back then. Suddenly a woman came and pressed a 5 DM piece in my hand. For my little hands, I was 6 years old, it was big and very heavy. She smiled and I thanked very much. My mama didn't really want to accept the money, but the woman insisted. I have this cup today and I always like to return back then. It was an interesting time for me to grow up. So that this is not a novel, I would like to thank you for your great videos and hope you will come more often around Germany to see more of our beautiful country. By the way, I love Hamburg the most. ^^
a beautiful story, thank you for sharing. i hope you have be given the opportunity to repay the kindness of the stranger by offering a similar kindness to a stranger. best wishes to you.
I have a similar story. I’ll always remember that and now pay forward….
Cool, finally you're in Würzburg. Thanks for showing our wonderful Würzburg. Dirk is the local hero, we're so proud of him.
Your question about "Scherben": One meaning is shards, broken glass or ceramics. The other (older) meaning is still used in southern Germany and means "pot made of clay (Terracotta)". So "Obstorangerie in Scherben" means fruit trees (mostly citrus fruits) in large clay pots.
8:42 Jacket snatcher Cody only told half of the story. Dirk Nowitzki was born and raised here. Thaaaat is why he played basketball here. LOL
Did you tried Klöse or Thüringer Bratwurst??
Würzburg, my neverending Love
That palace in downtown Würzburg you visited after Marienberg was used as a location for the 2011 movie "The Three Musketeers" with Orlando Bloom, for the scenes set at the Palace of Versailles in France.
Tatjana Schell
Yes the movie was filmed at a bunch of places in Bavaria.
In Würzburg, the residence in Munich, Bamberg, Herrenchiemsee palace and the castle of Burghausen.
Well NALF I look forward to your blogs during the craziest time in Germany: A Soccer World Championship!
The only time when the flags pop out everywhere and every male German becomes a better soccer expert than the national trainer! :)
I want to say thank you very much for sharing your experience with us and spending time to travel to Suhl and practice us. You and your colleagues are realy nice guys. By the way you make pretty cool videos ;) hope we meet you and your mate again. Big thanks and the best greetings from the Suhl Gunslingers :)
The city is called Würzburg! :P
Ist ja gut du Otto!
Bert's burg :D
Next time you're so close to my university (ilmenau
I have to compliment all your videos. They are very well made, I love the music you put in and you guys are just a lovely bunch. Thanks for it all, it puts a smile on my face. Greetings from Munich!
This guy defintitely deserves much more subscribers. To watch daily one of your videos became part of my day ;-)
Seppo Beppo l
For getting sober or nuts?
Thuringia = best state
#Fact ;D
Franken is dope. Bamberg,Nürnberg,Bayreuth,Würzburg.Fürth.
The rest of Bayern is also quite nice. (Regensburg,Passau,Chiemsee,Starnberger See)
He should visit a game of the Brose Baskets
Chris Bau and drink franconian beer
Niklas and wine ;)
Rauchbier ;)
SELB!
I really did not have any high expectations in matters of representation of Eastern Germany. And I have to you met my expectations. It's tiring that East Germany is somehow silenced in media coverage, despite its cultural richness.
But what really made me angry about this specific video is that the title explicitly is about going to East Germany but then in reality the video does not show a single bit of the town or the region. Shame on you.
Greetings from a guy born in Arnstadt (the oldest non Roman town in Germany) living Weimar (no need to explain this town, right), both in Thuringia.
Suhl has a beautiful old town center and a magnificent history of world rank. One part of this towns history is its world famous gun smithing tradition. Another is the whole history of the Simson Werke.
But hey yeah Würzburg it is, of course have it easy.
I really like your videos, but this one is just an insult!
Sorry but not sorry!
Nick, I cannot believe that you came to Würzburg and didn´t let me know. Well, prolly, because I had never mentioned my hometown before. LOL Maybe some other time.
Scherben is nowadays the word for a shard. But it is also an old german word for ceramic goods.
1:33 Polish song : ...Moja droga ja Cie kocham....😊😊
The license plate at 1:51 - CHAOT 63 :D
CHAOT and CHAOS are really common plates in Cham
Just like PIRAT or PIRNA in Pirna ;)
Finally some NBA related content in here, nice. Dirk Nowitzki is awesome, your vids are too.
You should have gone into the Residence - not just seeing it from outside and walking through the Hofgarten. Google for pictures for the "Würzburger Residenz" and you will see why.
And to add to it - as you already have had that topic in the video. The Residenz has been nearly totally burnt out during the air raids on March 16 1945 - a controversial topic actually as the city did not have any major industries en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_W%C3%BCrzburg_in_World_War_II
@@geneviere199 wrong the Residenz was "only" destroyed about 40 %. Almost all of the stucce on the walls in the northern imperial Rooms and the Ingelheim Rooms had not been damaged. The southern wing of the Residenz was damaged much more though.
Thüringen is very beautiful. I like especially the cities: Erfurt, Weimar, Gotha, Eisenach. Thüringen is the home of the "Thüringer Bratwurst". It is good that you try to dive a bit in our recent history. The separation of Germany was very hard for families which were separated
moja droga jacie kochammmmmmmm :'( :D:D:D:D:D:D
thumbs up!!!
200 years from now, people in the US will visit the ancient ruins of so called McDonalds and KFC.
I come from Thuringia (called green heart of germany). Hope you had fun.
Absolutely fantastic video 10/10.....maybe some classical music to fit the scenery.
polish song in background
I was already wondering when you would go to the East of Germany besides Dresden!
Learning about castles : each castle started with a small tower and some wooden fences. The tower was their first shelter in case of an assult. So the tower was a secure place. Most castles towers were build in the years between 1000 till 1200. Later they build castle walls made of stone around the tower. So in Würzburg you visited the festung and its oldes building, the central tower.
Beautiful Germany!
Oh I'm a fans of Dirk nowitzki
The drone footage was 😍😍😍 #NALF
just say 'thüringen' - it's that easy.. :P
nice help ;D
Würzburg is actually quite a nice city but you should've also check out Bamberg. It's even more beautiful. Hopefully you've tried some franconian wine!
I'm actually heading to Germany in a few weeks and decided on Bamberg over Wurzburg on my way to Berlin from Bavaria. Hopefully I made the right choice :)
Lox Lover, I'm from Würzburg, and it has some really nice places, but most was destroyed in WWII and built up cheaply after, which you can see... :-/ So I'd say Bamberg might actually really be the better choice, as the city is quite nice (I think, haven't been there in quite long) But the space around Würzburg, the "wine mountains" are really beautifull, especially in autumn, when you can eat some grapes ;-)
@FiveOclockTea, I'm super excited, my first time to Germany!
Lox Lover
You definitely made the right choice! When you are in Bamberg be sure to check out "Klein Venedig". It's a beautiful boardwalk with nice restaurants where you can enjoy your evening drinking a glass of wine :)
Enjoy your time in Germany!
You should go to Bamberg for Bamberger Rauchbier of course. Schlenkerla!
The think with the hand and the wind while driving by car.
I'm always doing this too
In case you are still in this beautiful state, you should eat some proper Thüringer Rostbratwurst & Rostbrätel, you are going to love both those meaty delights.
Or Thüringer Klöße
Mr. Gehrke is so sympathic :D Can't wait to play the U-19 Unicorns this year lol.
Germany, football, beautiful scenery, great videos and a Zelda reference. Perfect start to the day!
Ocarina of time is the best video game ever made.
Suhl is actually famous for their gun smiths, for example the company Haenel is from there. They made the famous Sturmgewehr 44, STG44 in ww2. The mother of all assault rifles.
I am from Thuringia.
You got me a second, reading the english part of the Festung Marienberg board, while filming the german text, thinking: "Wow, Nalf is realy good in German now." But...just for a second. 😀
You should also go to Erfurt, Weimar, walk on the Rennsteig and visit Dresden and Leipzig :)
I just love your videos! I love everything: the pictures, the music, the atmosphere, the content, the people, ... I am looking forward to all videos that you will do in the future!
hi nick, really cool that you guys visited thuringia. i'm from erfurt myself and I thought it was kind of funny seeing you took an interest in the state, cos I got really into loving the PNW especially portland
'Scherben' is an old word for earthenware. So it fits quite well for this purpose.
Did you have a bad-musical-taste-day the day you edited this video?
Watching Mr. Alfieri since two years already on a daily bases (if he vlogs daily). This one is my favourite Vlog so far (next to the Oscar winning special effects guy). I was born at Würzburg, allthough I only lived there for four years. Most beautiful city in Germany. Can anybody help me naming that little village on 2:02 to 2:06 min.? Must be at the Autobahn between Hall and Wuerzburg somewhere...
I used to work in Würzburg and you made some really nice shots of the city (feels like you have a lot of luck with the weather for your vlogs ). Brought back some good memories, glad you could see the city.
Please come to Erfurt :D, its the capital of Thuringia. And its a beautiful city
Your "former East Germany" is actually former Middle Germany. The real East Germany is still Ostpreußen, Hinterpommern, Westpreußen, Schlesien and Posen
Thuringia 😍🤗✨
just by the way.... "Former east germany" is still east germany... you mean "former DDR" ... cardinal points havent changed... Yust kidding (dont want to be smart- ass) anyway i love your videos...
Nalf, you crack me up. After all the gardens you would have seen by this point in time, you decide to tell the vlog that the gardens remind you of the Legend of Zelda video game for Nintendo? I really need some new emojis for laughing hard.
So, the inside dope is that everyone in Germany wears lederhosen all the time? JUST as we always suspected, it feels so good when these kinds of belief systems are validated. I’m glad I learned in one of your festival (Reunification Day?) vlogs with Cody, Speedy and a lot of 🍺 that lederhosen are not supposed to chafe or I’d be worried about the bike rider. A guy has to look out for any imminent chafing threats, which is one of the many, many advantages of wearing Ath-Leisure clothing every day, don’t you find Nalf? Run fast, run free Dude. (The musical strains of “Born Free” play here.)
You seem to amuse the hell out of Siggy? Ziggy? too. It may be interesting in a future vlog to have him (carefully avoiding the spelling debacle again) talk to us about his experience living in the West with relatives in the East. I watched your 1945 museum vlog, and the comments about the East/West/Reunification experience were RIVETING. Really interesting. Seriously. I have to go back to that vlog and read more comments, there was a lot to unpack and digest.
why are you always dressed like kids ready for the Kindergarten ? No, I'm not a formalist .......actually the opposite as (weekend)Hippie of the 60ies
Nice! Finally you visited my hometown!
So funny. the song you chose at the beginning was popular in Germany back in the 70's. It was called "Herzen haben keine Fenster"...*lol*
well, this was a big Chart success in the United States
We have to talk. The elephant is in the room. ...The worst Background music in the History of TH-cam.
Speaking of destroyed cities...look at cologne after war:
blog.todamax.net/2013/koeln-im-2-weltkrieg/
*Würzburg
i live in north thuringia :)
The former east Germany is still the present east Germany. The GDR (DDR) did vanish but the cardinal points didn't. :-P
its fürstbischof. in englisch not firstbishop rather princebishop
Typo: It's Würzburg
Did you check out the beautyfull craftmanship of the Suhl gunmakers?
Würzburg my home town! Next time when you are here, let me know, I show you around.
a Tip its Forbidden to fly over houses with drones … when assholes c this then they fucked u up also u Need a Licence to fly a drone and u Need a ID number on your drone … junst a Riminder
I didn't expect you to know Zelda OoT :D
Ian was my former basketball coach :)
Surprised Würzburg hasn't a fancy americanised name like Munich or Nuremburg.
right should be spiceburg or so
Herbipolis.
Let's be British about this. I propose Spiceborough instead of Spiceburg.
Imre Hundertwasser That!
A british name for a city bombed into ruins. What can possibly go wrong?
Orangerie is a Place or House were the plants put in to protect them for winter cold like orange or lemon trees, in this case they call it fruit-orangerie (Opstorangerie)
Music from 1:32 to 2:15: there is also a German version of this song, sung by Ellfi Graf in 1973 named 'Herzen haben keine Fenster' (Hearts have no windows). th-cam.com/video/NdCsD_LDOks/w-d-xo.html
Dies ist sogar das Original. Das Stück wurde von Komponist Henry Mayer für Elfi Graf komponiert und wurde danach in verschiedenen Sprachen ge-covered. Die erfolgreichste Version war die englisch/polische von Johnny Rock in den VS.
+ Martin Reuter Wasn't it Bobby Vinton who sung the U.S. cover-version 'My Melody of Love' in 1974? War es nicht Bobby Vinton der die U.S. Cover-Version 'My Melody of Love' 1974 gesungen hat?
there are two english versions one by Bobby Vinton - My Melody of Love and one by Peters and Lee - Don't stay away too long
you can look it up on the wikipedia site of elfi graf
Danke, ich dachte nach dem Hören gleich, dass das typisch nach deutschem Schlager klingt. Konnte dann aber nicht sofort heraushören welche Sprache das ist! ;)
Do I hear rightly: "Moja droga, ja cię kocham" and "kocham ciebie całym sercem" in Polish?
"Dukebishop"= Fürstbischof ... kinda godking. 😂 Not the 1st Bischoff..
those were not lederhosen, rather leather-jeans "invented" by north american Indians
Lol I did not expect that Zelda reference, nice!
Herzlich willkommen in Thüringen!
Both 'Link to the Past' and 'Windwaker' were better.
The music is wack in this vid. Sorry, not sorry.
Greetings from Jakarta Indonesia 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩😙😙😙
Suhl my hometown
Ocarina of time! Best game in the world!
DON'T refer to Wuerzburg as North Bavaria,It's Oberfranken!I made the same mistake once to a native,and got my head bitten off!
No it isn't, it's Unterfranken. ;-)
why didnt you visit the Residenz ist on world Heritage list and includes undestroyed ceiling paintings from the 18th century .
by the way ist PRINCE BISHOP not first Bishop....
Ohhh! Ohhh! I used to be an English teacher in Suhl! They have a football team now? Suhl is so coooooooooold in the winter. That area of Germany (Thuringia and Franconia but actually all the way down to your neck of the woods in Schwäbisch Hall) was famous for the "Bauernkriege" or Peasants' Wars back in about 1525. The farmers got fed up paying taxes to the nobility and the church, so they got their pitchfroks, assembled armies, and attacked their oppressors. They destroyed a lot of castles and had a pretty good run until the aristocracy sent their professional armies to put the peasants down. Back then, Würzburg had a former mayor and town councilman named Tilman Riemenschneider who was a woodcarver famous for many beautifully carved church altars in that region. He sympathized with the peasants and when they lost, he got his hands crushed as punishment. But he got off better than Thomas Müntzer, a priest in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, who was considered one of the leaders of the peasants. He was "drawn and quartered" in a public execution. Yes, Germany looks so beautiful and quaint and all that today, but below the surface is a long history of atrocities from witch burnings to religious wars to genocide. Don't want to rain on your parade, just sayin'...
Hi nalf, come back to Würzburg in a week for the
Afrika Festival, the biggest African Culture Festival in Europe
Another fun fact for you guys... The residence of wuerzburg was also a filming location for the motion picture by w.s. Anderson. You maybe have seen the movie. It's the three musketeers...
Würzburg is actually still in Bavaria
There is an old film with Montgomery Clift, where you can see Würzburg after the war. Its true, 90 percent was destroyed. You can watch the ruins in the film. I dont remember the title, but it was filmed in the location in Würzburg, short after war.
Nalf...a simple question...are you ok with people posting thirsty comments on your videos? Asking for a friend...I mean myself...
Scherben is a very old word used for Keramik, not used nowadays. Besides, I think, the resicedence is much more beautiful than the Festung.
That music....come on Nalf, you can do better
it was excruciating - i really had to skip a few minutes..
What do you think about the "kneeling before NFL games" thing. Do you think it's unpatriotic, or do you say it's good for the rights of black people?
ZELDA! but Twilight Princess was the better package considering GRAPHICS along with the story AND the characters (Midna!)
Must have been a 500 hour trip if you went all the way in slow motion.
You should like Suhl, not sure if you know about it but its probably also why the team is called gunslingers. Suhl is one of the major german cities of firearms production. Suhl and Oberndorf am Neckar is where most german gun manufacturers are located today.
Suhl is known for its super high quality hunting rifles, while Oberndorf today is a little more into military firearms with H&K and Rheinmetall.
Hey, i live in Würzburg, if you ever come back to visit one day, hit me up i can show you around the whole city, i used to do some work in "summer break" showing around tourists for a couple of weeks so i know quite a bit about the town. Thanks for showing our beautifull city and have a blessed day!
Thüringen -> Bratwurst
Suhl -> guns (for hunting)
Drone laws -> don't apply ;)
Born and raised in Würzburg,moved to the USA in 1965.had a good cry seeing my beautiful home,thank you
