- I decided to speak to the public in Germany and Austria, to find out what each other thought of the country and the people!. I am not normally am I left confused, but this was such a cool way to get to know both countries. I traveled to various places in Germany and Austria to see what you said. This is very much British Humour, so all comparisons should be not taken seriously.

Great video. Are you now living in Germany and what are you doing for work there atm? Your German has seriously improved well done! I think you should have asked that pretty girl out fur einer kaffee :)
yeah I am living in Germany now, I had a job trial so at the moment just working on this series hope you are doing good! :)
You absolute legend. What kinda work trial and which city you in? :) Im good thanks, still learning German and great to see your videos again.....they are missed :)
@@gregprouse1173 yeah so it was a video editor. Amazing company and people. Currently just chilling in Hannover. But yeah more to come about the people ;)
@@yourtruebrit Great industry mate. Let me know if you get the full time position :) Hannover is super nice. My uncle used to live there for years working for the hospital. Keep those videos coming :) want to see that channel explode :)
@@gregprouse1173 Yeah Hannover is such a nice place has great people! :)
Biggest difference in this video: Germans have only nice things to say about Austria and Austrians, while Austrians describe Germans as arrogant and stingy, less open, less fun, more serious with annoying accent and overall worse... while considering themselves friendly and open minded.
So true😂
Yes because the propaganda here pushes a love-hate relationship (more hate than love, petty jealousy etc), because since 1945 they'rep ushing lies that we are a "seperate ethnicity" (sometimes outright claiming we're a "mixed ethnicity", just because some peasants fucked Hungarians and Croats in the border regions, that doesn't make it true for everyone) to distance Austria from Germany and even pretend we were Hitler's first victim, which is ridiculous.
as an Austrian, I can absolutely confirm this! Germans do like us, but we don't like them haha
@@karlelias but you still think you are more friendly and open minded? how does that go together?
@@karlelias Lauter HuKinder hier eben. Sch*ul und peinlich, bei Fußball WM lieber für die Inselaffen schreien als für die Nachbarn (selber reißen wir ja nichts)...
Der Deutsche:"Die Lage ist ernst, aber nicht hoffnungslos." Der Österreicher: " Die Lage ist hoffnungslos, aber bei weitem nicht ernst. " 😂🇩🇪🇦🇹
Das ist super! Muss ich mir merken!
Herkunft dieses Spruchs kennen nur Leute die sich mit 1. WK beschäftigt haben
@@chipser9574 then there is almost no person who can relate to it.
Die Österreicher loben sich vor allem immer sehr gerne selber, dass sie angeblich so viel humorvoller und freundlicher seien. Ich habe einige Zeit dort verbracht und kann das nicht bestätigen. Sie sind vielleicht einen Ticken entspannter, aber bei weitem nicht so sehr, wie das gerne behaupten, meiner Meinung nach.
"Nicht hoffnungslos" spiegelt dann wohl den Optimierungsdrang und das Selbstwirksamkeitsbewusstsein der Deutschen. 😁
Das "nicht ernst" eben den Unernst der Ausis. 😄
A British family adopts a baby from Germany. They name the boy Gus, short for Gustav. He’s a studious infant, rarely crying and rarely causing much a fuss. The baby grows into a serious but healthy little boy, the only hiccup is that he doesn’t talk. The parents don’t care, they love Gus and he’s a great kid overall.
Then, one day, when Gus is seven, the family is at a restaurant and out of nowhere, for the first time EVER, Gus lifts his head and tells the waiter his soup is cold. His parents are blown away, Gus can speak!! They wipe the tears from their eyes and ask if he can speak, why hasn’t he spoken til now? Gus ponders for a moment and replies:
“Up until now, everything has been satisfactory”.
@ali kamel nice ali you have ruined the joke.
It was funny, in my country germans are remembered as serious people by those who have lived with them, the same can be said about the dutch and belgians
Also Germans don't complain until its absolutely necessary.
😆🤣😂
Really good joke!! 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The difference between Germany and Austria is that German chancellors stay in office for 16 years (sometimes) while Austria seems to get a new chancellor every few weeks.
So true
LMAO
The close proximity to Italy might help this quick exchange of important politicians.

AHAHAHAHAHA
I'm a Bavarian living in Greece.
From my experience the cultural differences are not so much between Austria and Germany as between the traditionally catholic and protestant regions.
Whenever I meet Austrians it's very easy for me to connect, because we're culturally so similar. I feel culturally closer to Austrians than to people from Hannover or Berlin or Dresden. I also can connect easier with people from Köln than with people from Bremen.

@@helgaioannidis9365
Nice saying, the Aristotle! ☺️
Also I agree with the north-south / protestant-catholic hypothesis.
Esp. Bavaria & Austria have much in common.
What if they are Jews, Buddhists, atheists, or agnostics?
@@thinkandthank7406 with atheists usually it's easier to connect from my experience. As a German with Jews it always feels awkward I have to admit. German guilt makes me be afraid of being in some way offensive and I've been treated very poorly by Jews as soon as they found out I was German, which didn't help make me feel less guilty.
With Buddhists I don't really have much experience, haven't met many, so I couldn't tell.
I am half greek - lefkas island - and half austrian - vienna. My Austrian dad always said that the Bavarians are more similar to the Austrians- and I believe it too. Greeks believe that Germans are cold and can be rude and they believe that Austrians are the same, until they get to interact with then. I work as a tour guide in summer in kefalonia and I have to admit, it's mostly easier to work with Austrians and Bavarians than with Germans. I just think that they are more.. "heiter"...
The most remarkable thing about the Austrians is they have managed to convince the world that Hitler was German, usually by not saying a thing.
Well he was german and austrian
@@Ghreinos He was an Austrian, was born in Braunau.
@@a.r.stellmacher8709 Austrians are german
I've heard this in even longer form:
"The Austrians managed to convince the world that Beethoven was Austrian but Hitler was German."
@@xxxaragon I have never heard that before but thank you.
I've always admired people like you who are so comfortable with talking to strangers on the street. It requires a lot of confidence! Well done! Fun interview! 😊
Thank you so much, Yeah I love it meet great people but my god it's hard sometimes :)
@@yourtruebrit You did a really good job being so open and spreading good vibes, now (especially) we all need some more smiling faces and kindness
Germans and Austrians will focus the small differences between them and blow them out of proportion, people from neither countries visiting them will notice the massive similarities rather than the minor differences
I've never seen your channel before...I like it!
Working for a German company in Austria I consider myself kind of an expert regarding this particular matter.
First, it needs to be mentioned that it is not possible to draw a line and say "above this line people are like...and below people are like..." The mentality changes gradually from North to South. Yet, there are obvious, macroscopic differences.
The relation between Austrians and Germans is very much like between Scots and English. Really. Austrians have funny accents and dialects. Germans have too, but there's only one dialect that might be hard to understand for Austrians: Plattdeutsch. The rest is nothing that would ever make an Austrian scratch his head. Germans will have a much harder time to understand an Austrian once he engages the dialect-turbo.
Germans do have a hilarious sense of humour, as well as Austrians, however the Austrian humour is much darker, more sarcastic and soaked with irony. Actually very british (a fact that was confirmed by John Cleese), whereas the German humour reminds one of the American humour.
Now to differences concerning how they work philosophy-wise:
Germans love to make plans, love discussing details and try to be prepared for the case, if...
Austrians are very "hands-on": Start doing it, problems can be resolved on the fly. That's one reason why Austrians tend to be slightly annoyed if they work for German companies... they hate wasting time for imaginery problems that are unlikely to occur. I guess the golden path is somewhat in the middle, however the Germans seem to fear complications and being responsible for them. So nothing will move before fifty-eleven people had a look at it and didn't express their doubts. So in this field the point goes to Austria, I think.
Points for being open-minded rather belong to Germany. Austrias society is quite divided. The younger generations indeed are open but there is a strong conservative generation in opposition with the elderly.
One thing that was mentioned in your interviews, which is correct, is:
Austrians hate it if they get a feeling of being treated arrogantly by the Germans. Like "oh, aren't they cute, those little mountain-ewoks. Now shut up and let the big guys tell how it is done" That really happens from time to time. Just like the Scots, Austrians are quite proud people. As long as you show some respect, Austrians are very warm-hearted people.
If you want to know anything specific let me know.
Not sure I would go as far as describing the relationship to those between English and Scots.
Historically it's quite different... Scots having been forced into a union with the English and giving up their original language (Gaelic).
In the case of Germans and Austrians it's rather that they've been considered as one internally diverse people for the majority of their respective history and only recently being denied a poltical unity.
@@Siegbert85 I'm talking about mentalities and the felt relation to each other, my friend, not history. Of course they are not comparable historically. Each country has its own history. Take a snapshot of the people today analyse their feelings for each other, their mentality, the quirks and feelings. This is what I actually referred to.
agree but would consider bavaria germanys scotland and austria even more distinct like as the irish to the english.
edit: atleast culturally they are more comparable in difference.
if you say swabians are welsh, rhenish are scousers for example and northerners are like english
@@BabisseDAllemagne good observation! Agreed.
The reason why Austrians as much as the majority of Germans can't understand Plattdeutsch is because it is its own language...
What people say about others reveals more about their own character than the people they are trying to describe.
As an Austrian having lived in the U.K. Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and France (overseas department) I would say that Austrians think that they are at the center of the world, a very important country. If you lived like me in any of the before mentioned countries you actually never hear about Austria.
Stimmt. Außerhalb von Österreich denken alle, Österreicher wären nur Deutsche, die in den Alpen leben 😂
@@afjo972 Da ist ein enormer Zuzug von Deutschen im Zillertal, wahrscheinlich nicht nur dort.
@@afjo972 Ist jecht so. Österreich ist für Deutsche oder große europäische Länder genauso irrelevant wie jedes der 16 Bundesländer einzeln betrachtet. Aber lassen wir die Mehrheit der Österreicher mal in dem Glauben, dass sie etwas gaaaanz Besonderes sind und total viel zu sagen haben. 🤣🤣🤣
And there's no kangaroos in Austria!
You don't hear about Austria in the Netherlands? It is our second favourite holiday destination, and it is on a plot to overtake the French no1 position, as the French are really screwing up their country the last decade. As the lady said: Austria is a little bit Dutch....
Ich bin Österreicher und ich muss eher widersprechen, was die Offenheit betrifft: Deutsche sind im Allgemeinen viel offener als Österreicher. Ich war schon an vielen Orten in Deutschland und habe festgestellt, dass die Menschen dort uns Österreichern gegenüber meistens sehr interessiert und überhaupt nicht arrogant sind. Vor meinen Reisen dorthin hatte ich auch diese Vorurteile. Vielleicht sollten jene Menschen in diesem Video, die das Gegenteil behaupten sich selbst mal ein Bild davon machen. 🤷🏻♂️
Deutsche sind meist ganz einfach selbstbewusster als Österreicher, was fälschlicherweise als Arroganz interpretiert wird.
Aber eines muss ich schon auch noch loswerden: Österreich hat viel mehr als nur Berge zu bieten 😉
Als Österreicher, der öfter in Deutschland ist, muss ich auch etwas widersprechen - weil ich in beiden Ländern auf Offenheit gestoßen bin. Ich denke, es ist weniger eine Länder- oder Kultursache, eben weil wir uns recht ähnlich sind, sondern hat viel mehr mit der individuellen Persönlichkeit zu tun.
@@furrylover6953 natürlich! Außer in Südamerika war ich schon oft auf allen Kontinenten unterwegs - überall gibt es "Leiwande" und Idioten 🤷🏻♂️😁
Das finde ich als Deutscher ohne uns da hoch anzupreisen ebenfalls so. Ich liebe Österreich, ist ein wunderschönes Land, man konnte jedoch merken das sie die Deutschen oftmals nicht so gern haben. Denke eher das es von klein auf in ihrem mindset ist das der Deutsche dort als negativ angesehen wird. Habe viele yugoslawische Freunde in Ö welche mich auch ab und zu in D besuchen und alle sind verplüfft und meinen das die Deutschen um einiges offener und sogar humorvoller sind. Natürlich kommt es auch immer drauf an in welchem Teil man von D oder Ö lebt, aber dennoch, das sind meine Erfahrungen
Als DeutschÖsterreicherin oder ÖsterreichischeDeutsche I agree!
Die Ostösterreicher - darunter auch die Wiener - haben einen einzigartigen "Charme" und "Schmäh". Das ist keine Wertung, nur Lebenserfahrung.
I'm Austrian and I like Germany a lot. Frequently going to Berlin or Munich for long weekends and meeting locals. Currently living in Switzerland, which is awesome too. I never understood why people tend to repeat stupid little negative stereotypes, there are just different types of people, outgoing ones, more reserved ones, great ones and less great ones in every culture/country. What the 3 German-speaking countries all have in common: they offer an amazing quality of living! We should be proud, although we're constantly shittalking about our countries. They don't deserve that (be we know anyway).
5... There is 5 german speaking countries.. 😉
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 There are more depending on how you count.
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 only in the three mentioned above is german a relevant language though. like yeah, technicaly it is an official language in i.e. Belgium as well, but you're not going to get very far and don't have many options in Belgium if you only speak German, same goes for any other country were german speakers are a minority.
@@RyfkahChan ah yes i forgot belgium.. Lichenstien too.. And italy and denmark.. But basicalpy there is 4 noticable states where they primarily speak german.. Germany, austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg..
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 Namibia.
Austria is wedged between southern Germany and Italy and Slavic countries. And that's exactly how it's people are. Even within Austria people north of the Alps are slightly different in language and customs to the southern people who live closer to Italy and Slovenia. And there also are differences between western and eastern Austria in language, culture and mentality. There also is a Beer/Wine border within Austria.
Danke Dir für Deine tollen Videos! Its a pleasure to have you here!! 😁👍
Tolles Video:) Keep it up
What a lovely video, nice topic.
I absolutely enjoyed it. Videos like this are a nice way to improve the skills. The difference is that Germany is much more of an issue in Austria than the other way around.
In Austria you often lean back a bit and see what is happening in Germany and then decide what to do yourself depending on how things are going and there is a kind of inferiority complex that finally needs to be overcome.
In Austria, at the beginning you often make yourself look smaller than you actually are, but when things go well, you quickly become the best of all.
I think there is truth in that and it makes me a bit sad to be honest. I am Austrian but grew up in Germany and the hatred that is simmering inside of some Austrians vs Germans alienates me.
Die Unterschiede sind die gleichen, wie die, zwischen den Bundesländern in Deutschland. Also es gibt nur leichte Unterschiede. Ich finde es gut, daß du in diesem Video probiert nur deutsch zu sprechen. learning by doing is the best way. Viel Erfolg dir noch. Grüße aus 39104
Össtereich ist einfach eine Abspaltung von Bayern dass ist faktisch so und dazu kommt dass nach dem ww2 die Amis und Engländer nicht wollten dass sie sich zusammen schließen also deusche und össtereicher sind das gleiche volk

I love this video, it's very inspirational for me as a German learner. It's obvious you were a beginner in this vid, but I mean that as a compliment, because you made complete sense and were able to confidently communicate. Incredible, I want to be as confident as you.
I am German and consider these differences partly (!) to be purely constructed. I would say that Austrians and Germans complement each other, as well as the parents of Mozart, whose father was German and mother Austrian. My opinion.
His mother was not Austrian. She was from Salzburg, a free city of the german empire. Salzburg was not part of Austria. But Austria to this time was also part of the german empire (Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation).
It's like Russia's love for Ukraine.
@@Wunderbutzi That empire was supposedly 'Holy Roman'; not 'German'.
@@Wunderbutzi Ach herrje! 😒
@@Wunderbutzi There was no German empire or nation within the scrum imperium romanum or the Bund, these were just alliances similar to the European Union, but much less integrated than the latter.
I really like Austrians- wasn‘t aware that the feelings aren‘t mutual 😂! Still, greetings from Germany to Austria and the rest of the world.
Ich lerne Deutsch selbe und ich habe dieses Video sehr interessant gefunden. Ich habe dein Akzent sehr gemocht und es war sehr toll zu sehen wie die andere Leute ihre Sprache entwickeln. Sehr gut gemacht und ich warte auf dein nächstes Video!!!
Massive thank you to everyone! who joined in this episode!, If I look I was struggling, I was still recovering from long COVID. This is very much British Humour us brits we love to have a laugh about ourselves. Small teaser on the next episode at the end.
Apples and oranges.
The comparison between Germans and Austrians is basically not possible at all, because there are not "the Germans", the same applies to "the Austrians".
Someone from Schleswig-Holstein is a completely different breed of people than someone from Baden-Württemberg.
Or someone from Vienna and from Styria.
Swabians, for example, have more in common with German-Swiss, North German Frisians with Dutch Frisians, than with Austrians or Saxons.

Schön, brav weiter lernen und Danke für Deine Beiträge 🙂
From what i encountered when meeting Austrians is that some have some sort of inferiority complex. Many feel the need to tell you how awesome Austria is compared to Germany and the Germans are normally not really impressed (i mean we shit talk our country all the time) and this makes them mad. But once they realize that you don't think less of them or Austria they become one of the friendliest people you can imagine. It just takes some time for them to let their defence down a bit.
I know what you mean, but many people don't mean it serious. We also shit talk Austria and most people don't really think we are superior
Wia sam halt a bissl sauer, dass die Deutschen unser schnitzel so durch den dreck zerren Ketchup in der schnitzelsemmel is okay, aber sonst ghört ketchup weg vom schnitzel. Und wir rasten halt aus wenn jemand n Schweineschnitzel "Wiener Schnitzel" nennt. Ein Wiener Schnitzel ist kalb mit nem Hammer flach geklopft und in Butterschmalz gebacken.
Der gelernte Österreicher, speziell Wiener, ist gerne grantig, das ist eine Lebenseinstellung. Als Ausgleich hat ihm der Herrgott eine große Dosis schwarzen Humor mitgegeben, damit er sich selbst und die Welt ihn besser erträgt 😁 Liebe Grüße aus Wien 😉
Some of my Austrian friends told me the difference is Austrians don’t like Germans but Germans like Austrians/ don’t even ever think about Austria. And that could be since that was very new to me😄
So true !!! I love Austria but I hardly remember that it exists 😂
So just like the US relationship with nearly every other country.
Cool video
My Duolingo lessons are paying off. I understood most of this without looking at the subtitles. 😃
visit this regions for all versions of germany
like in the in south:
Baden-Baden, Franken, Bavaria, Vienna, Tirol, swabia, basically along rhine river in the west up north into netherlands and then along elbe river in the east. travel the north west and north east coast line, so you complete almost all different german states and cultural lands.
you can also include switzerland to the rhine river tour. you will notice the massive differences yourself.
it is similar to Londoners vs scousers vs irish vs welsh vs scots, so massive differences indeed but still one country and almost one language.
Can we relate it to Catholic-Protestant division? People from Austria and German Switzerland usually say that they get along with people from Köln rather than Hannover, for example.
5:27 👏 We Austrians also love Germans! We are almost similar! I like the landscape in northern Germany! Austria is more mountainous! That's why I like that area! However, nice vid! ❤🇦🇹
🖤❤💛
You sound to english but good video and good topics generally. I spend many years in germany and austria and der sweiz.
As a Bavarian I feel much closer to the Austrians than to the "Porussians" especially because of the same dialect (Bavarian-Austrian or Austrian-Bavarian language). If I talk to an Austrian I do not have to speek High German. I feel often very amused when I see subtitles in the German TV when someone talks in the Austrian dialect - I understand every word. I once saw subtitles even when a Bavarian spoke in our dialect in the German TV and found it very strange, too. The capital (Kreishauptstad) of our county even voted an Austrian with dual citicenship as their new mayor - for them it was like voting a Bavarian they didn't make a difference and they are very pleased with him and in 2020 he was elected again ... Servus, Philipp
I heard someone say "Bayern ist Österreichs 10. Bundesland", ich weiß nie ob ich auf englisch oder deutsch schreiben soll, auf jeden Fall, the feeling is mutual
@@cyreneB Das geht mir ähnlich, ich schreibe mal so, mal so :-) Aber wenn ich sehe, daß alle Antworten auf englisch sind, fühle ich mich auch blöd, dann auf deutsch zu schreiben. Hüten Sie sich aber, diesen Satz "10. Bundesland" in Österreich zu sagen. Meine Verwandten lebten lange in Österreich und besuchen auch heute noch ihre Freunde dort. Nachdem sie einmal mit weiteren deutschen Freunden dort waren, sagte eine (österreichische) Freundin scherzhaft: "Ich gehe jetzt nach Hause, hier sind mir zu viele Deutsche". Ich glaube, dieser Satz "10. Bundesland" stammt noch aus der Zeit vor der Wiedervereinigung, denn jetzt haben wir ja 16 Länder. :-)
@@philippbock3399 ich meinte dass Bayern das 10. Bundesland von Österreich ist, wir haben nur 9 :-) btw, ich bin Österreicherin
@@cyreneB Oh, Entschuldigung, ich hatte Ihre Antwort jetzt irgendwie mißverstanden. Dabei hätte es mir eigentlich klar sein müssen ... (weil sie ja sagten "Bayern ist Österreichs 10. Bundesland") - aber heute bin ich durch den Wetterwechsel sowieso schon leicht "außer Gefecht". Was mir an der Österreichischen Sprache gefällt ist aber auch die Tatsache, daß typische "Altbayerische" Worte erhalten geblieben sind "Topfen - für Quark", "niedergefallen" für hingefallen, "niedersetzen" für hinsetzen, "Stiegenhaus" für Treppenhaus (und auch "Stiege" für Treppe oder "Stiegengeländer" für Treppengeländer - in Bayern: Stiagnglanda). Leider ist in Bayern durch die immer weiter fortschreitende hochdeutsche Sprache dieser Wortschatz zurückgegangen (meine Oma hat sie noch verwendet). Wir in Bayern müssen leider sehr an die Preußen angepaßt reden, auch das unsägliche "Tschüß" ist weit verbreitet, ich sage demonstativ "Servus" - ach, da gibt es viele Beispiele. Kurios bei meinen Verwandten: Mein Onkel (Hesse), der sehr nach der Schrift spricht, liebt Österreich so sehr, daß ich einmal scherzhaft sagte: "So wie Du liebt kaum ein Österreicher Österreich, sie haben unzählige Bücher über Österreich, sodaß man fast meinen könnte, sie wären Exil-Österreicher in Deutschland ...) Eine weitere nette Geschichte: Vor einigen Jahren feierte der Bayerische Rundfunk sein Jubiläum. Dabei wurden Passanaten auf der Straße befragt, unter anderem ein Österreichisches Ehepaar. Sie sagten: "Das bayerische Fernsehen wird auch in Österreich gerne gesehen". Das stimmt auch, denn beim Worteraten "Host mi" der Sendung "Wir in Bayern" rufen oft Österreicher an, entweder nennen sie zu erratende Wörter oder sie rufen an, weil sie eines wissen. Dann gewinnt man "Wir in Bayern-Tassen" (oder Bierkrüge zur "Wiesn-Zeit")
Ganz liebe Grüße aus Niederbayern - Philipp Bock
@@philippbock3399 ka Problem. Ich bin Steirerin und ich find das steirisch und bayrisch viel ähnlicher klingt als zB der dialekt in NÖ oder so. Ist aber nur mei Eindruck. Servus und Baba aus der Steiermark
Ich denke der größte und vielleicht auch einzige Unterschied ist, dass Deutsche die Österreiche als Deutsche sehen und die Österreicher sich selbst nicht als Deutsche sehen (zumindest die Meisten). Alles andere ist vermutlich mehr auf andere Faktoren zurückzuführen, also wo man in Deutschland ist und ob man auf dem Land oder der Stadt ist, in welchem sozialen Milieu und in welchem Freundeskreis man verkehrt. Die Unterschiede zwischen Oberbayern und dem Emsland sind gewiss größer als die Unterschiede zwischen München und Wien. Selbes gilt für die Schweizer im Hinblick auf Basel und Freiburg. Das politische Selbstverständnis mag auch anders sein, aber das ist bloß der Situation geschuldet.
Besser hätte ich es selbst nicht schreiben können.
Also ich als Österreicher finde nichts schlimmer, als wenn mir jemand sagt "eigentlich bist du ja auch deutsch"
Ganz schlimm z. B. auch im Urlaub. wenn du sagst du bist aus "Austria" gibt es für die meisten nur 2 Antworten.
A) Australien🦘 oder
B) aaaah! Germany!

AS a Taiwanese, I had traveled to Germany for quite many times, but only one time to Austria. That's because most of ppl I met, no matter in restaurant, Cafe, train, hotel...ppl made me feel they had no patient, and they're in bad mood. I seldom to get a smile. And the signs for hiking . Be honest is quite poor, I almost got lost. So even I'm so admire the culture, music there. But so far still not think to visit again.
I am just curious, are people of Republic of China in high mood generally?
Der Unterschied zwischen D & Ö sind rein regional-kulturelle Abweichungen in Dialekt und Mentalität die genauso zwischen Wien und Tirol oder Berlin und Köln bestehen.
I miss your videos, every now and then, my beautiful little Brit. 😇
I worked together with Austrians, i know some germans living in Austria and i try to follow austrian feuilleton.
Southern germans have more in common with Austrians than with northern Germans, it is pretty funny in my eyes. And when it comes to arrogance you have to nominate the citizens of Vienna. Their arrogance is directed against everyone who is not from Vienna, the famous granteln and their mocking in Wiener Schmäh is peak arrogace. Actually i like it and find it charming, but that is everything else but for sure not openess.
One observation i made over the years is that our surrounding smaller neighbors have far more interest in our affairs than we have in theirs and it seems that sometimes that drives them mad. Beeing ignored is the worst thing right ?
Maybe it is typical for relationships between nations with different population sizes. The bigger ones tend to orbit more around themselves.
Austria is (like the other smaller neighboring nations) barely a topic in germany, maybe when the austrians have some scandals or important elections ongoing and i think most germans think about austria only when they pick a destination for their vacation.
It’s quite interesting what you said about the “bigger/smaller country relationship”.
(Especially when these two countries share a common language).
I’m French and we have the exact same problem with Belgians and french-speaking Swiss.
French people usually only have nice things to say about Belgians such as: “they’re nice”, “their humor is great”, “their beer is great” etc…
But in return Belgians say the worst stuff about us and call us arrogant prick all the time.
I’ve notices the same king of relationship between the US and english-speaking Canada. (french-speaking Canadians don’t seem to care tho).
Yeah, I always had the impression that people from Vienna are a bit arrogant. This is only based on my experience with them outside of Austria (some people i know at my university are from Vienna and then there are austrian Comedians). I will visit Vienna for the first time this year and I sure my stereotype will be disproven.
Uhh we have a scandalous political affair like every other holiday, we're austria after all.
@@carlosdumbratzen6332 how was your trip to vienna?
@@carlosdumbratzen6332 I grew up in Upper Austria, about 2 h drive west of Vienna. Whenever we went to Greece for vacation, my parents always tried to pick spots at the beach as far away from Viennese families as possible since they found their chattering annoying. I guess Viennese talk too much and what they say either sounds bossy or annoyed. The melody in their spoken language, especially when they speak Viennese standard German (not dialect) can be weird and tiring to other German speakers. Funnily, we never avoided (North) Germans. They are calm and peaceful, just the right company for lazing around at the beach. 😉 We even made friends with Germans and visited each other in Austria and Germany. Happy times!
Now I live in Vienna and love the city more than any other I've been to. There is a difference between a city as a whole and the people that inhabitate it. A city is the built result of centuries of development, the current population is only a glimpse.
This is like seeing the difference between Canadians and Americans
I guess in general, from my experience, I'd see us as pretty similar (Austrians I know and myself being from Westphalia). The main difference I've found was the being more laid back thing over there. Where the Austrians I know were taking their sweet time with what they're working on, us Germans were trying to get the job done asap and then be done with work. So making work more enjoyable vs trying to get more time without work to then enjoy. Just a different approach to achieve the same thing, in a way.
That said, at 10 times the population, you're probably gonna have more variation within Germany itself than between the countries.
a lot of austrian's get paid per time not per work, so sometimes people would work "slow" on purpose bc sometimes when they would give 100 %, the boss would regard that as normal push for more while not paying more, so a lot of people try to get the speed out of it in order not to get taken advantage off, just an observation
You just perfectly demonstrated the reason, why no one in the world likes the Germans, not even their neighbours. Utter arrogance...
That was perfect please make more german videos ( because i want to listen deutch sprechen)
5:18 I think he said "Kälter, ne?" ("Colder, aren't they?") and not "Kay, danke" ("Okay, thanks"). And when the subtitles said "???" he said "'Kalter Norden' sagt man so" ("'Cold north' as they/people say").
Also, at 5:34 the man said "schöner drauf" ("in a better mood" or maybe "acting nicer") and not "schöner" ("more beautiful"). 😂
6:23 She said "Ja, doch" (≈ "Yes, I am") and not "Ja, toll" ("Yes, great").
8:05 "Was geht?" means "What's up?" and not "What's happening?".
What I noticed is an interesting way of collectivizing: for Northern Germans anything Southern looks very similar, so Bavarian culture appears almost indistinguishable from Austrian one which in turn doesn't allow to have a perfect diochotomy, so Austrians are perceived as being somewhat German but still a bit different from what they're used to.
For Austrians on the other hand, they seem to think all Germans are culturally similar so it's very easy to pick apart every minute little difference.
Yes, that's true. Bavaria, even though some similarities exist in the south of it, is still seen as very different to Austria.
Bavaria:
The differentiation has to do with it being a formal enemy (napoleonic wars) and also with the shared Austro-Bavarian dialect, which, in case of Bavaria, is considered to be more German- and Franconian-influenced in terms of grammar and vocabulary, but also has a distinct Bavarian pronouciation, that can only be explained through the many centuries of Bavaria and Austria being their own political entities and also being seperated geographically through the Alps and to a lesser degree through rivers like Inn and Traun.
The most Bavarian area in Austria is the Innviertel (aproximatly located between the two rivers mentioned), which has the typical Bavarian sounding, but strongly mixed with Austrianess and in some areas the Bavarian features even got completly replaced by Austrian ones since its incorperation into Austria.
Culturally Bavarians are way more into celebrations and beer (e.g. October fest), while Austrians don't even really celebrate their own national holday.
Germany:
In general Germany as a whole is considered to be the country made from the mess of all the small states of the HRE (It's neither one thing, nor the other. So no culture sticks out). This mess then was united through Prussian seriousness and militarism (war with France), which brings me to the next point: We think that Germany permanently was either in war with France, united with France or an ally of France. So we Austrians generally connect Germany with France and also both France and Germany are connected with arrogance and strong militarism, which leads to our perception of both being similar. i.e. arrogant. France has one benefit though: It's internationally considered the country of love, which also shaped the Austrian minds in that direction.
@@Leo-uu8du Interesting. The point about Germany and France being similar is news to me.
In fact from my experience Austrians use more French words compared to Germans and the whole Viennese Baroque style reminds me very much of Versailles.
@@Siegbert85 That's true for Vienna. Overall I would argue that Italian and Slavic, but also Hebrew loanwords are actually more common throughout Austria if you don't consider the Viennese dialect and even within Vienna French words aren't used more often than in Germany. E.g. No one uses words like Portemonnaie, Tschüss or Aubergine (these specific examples are even considered "typical German terms" in Austria).
I guess the French influence is at least as strong in Germany as in Austria for four reasons:
1) Germany has a direct border with France and therefore most likely lots of cultural and lingual exchange happened.
2) French was used by the elite (also in Austria and in the rest of Europe)
3) Napoleon was allied with many German states like Bavaria, which led to even more loanwords (newer and also non-aristocratic vocabulary was adapted. E.g. Bavarians use "Merci" and many French curse words).
4) Germany was occupied by France on a much larger scale and for a longer time than Austria after the world war.
@@Leo-uu8du die gesprochene sprache in österreich ist linguistisch gesehen ein bayrischer unterdialekt klar gibt es unterschiede allgemein kann man hier aber nicht von zwei verschiedenen gruppen der deutschen sprache sprechen
@@Leo-uu8du Germany is much larger than Austrian and has various region. Some french loan words might be common in one region, other loan word in another region. There was also French migration to central and north-eastern Germany. Some loan words are hard to recognice meanwhile, like „Kinkerlitzchen“ (small things) from quincailleries, „Muckefuck“ (coffee substitute) from mocca faux, "etepetete" (fussy) from Être peut-être or "aus dem Lameng" (without preparation) from la main (hand).
Even the preception can very from region to region. Things Austrians or Swiss decribe as German arrogance can be preceived as typical West German within Germany. From the other (German) perspective you get the impression tha Austrian overemphasise their minor differences to Germany which comes accross as somewhat like an inferiority complex, as if they feel not to be recognized enough.

Good job doing the interviews in German!
As a german i can say that, having just found out about our history, we germans like Austrians very much and always keep our fingers crossed for them at the world cup when germany is out. That's not the case with the swiss.

@@rdr2v1nce7 Doch, dass machen zumindest wir Nordeutschen.
German here. :)
One difference I came across is a difference in humour and daily life: The Austrians are sexually more direct/straight forward. Therefore they are more flirty and have more sex jokes.
And as a second that on the one hand they are socially a bit more open in general, but on the other hand in regions _were they are culturally/mentally more "behind"_ they are *very much* behind (very conservative and not open minded at all).
I once went on holiday in Austria with a mixed group, including Bavarians and Austrians. I noticed that Austrians tend to be closer to Bavaria in terms of dialect! So they are very close to each other in terms of understanding! Whatever, the hang would explain the dirndl. Although these people have a penchant for Heurigen instead of beer.
Interessant.
reminds me of being a highland scot living in England. They love our scenery and we all have an 'accent.'
I'm also part Austrian which makes it even more interesting: Grandmother's decsendents from Burgenland,
Yeah, the Scots are always special when I listen to debates in the House of Commons. But the Ulster people too, but very different from the Scots. Only that the Irish English for me is a little easier to follow than the Scottish one.
Austrians are being proud to be austrian, while Germans are being ashamed of simply existing. It's not like the Germans wouldn't own their values like punctuality and being highly accurate. It's carrying the weight of guilt on our shoulders. Something about history.
Germans take little pride in their nationality, they only feel a certain relief at soccer games - one of few occasions where they are allowed to be cheerful for their identity. I was 13 years in school. My whole history lessons consisted of being shamed for starting both wws.

Hi , das sehen viele Deutsche nicht so mit den beiden Weltkriegen , denn man weiß der erste Weltkrieg wurde wegen Österreich ausgelöst und beim zweiten war A.H Österreicher , die Nachbarländer um Österreich wissen um Österreich. Den Deutschen fehlt nur Selbstbewusstsein. Als Deutscher kann man über Österreich nur lachen.
I keep telling people, it's not the germans who are to blame, it's those austrians you should look out for.
Germany thr country declared both wars but they were both started by an austrian, also ww1 was just an example of a europian war and imp should not be put in the same context as ww2
@@Marlin123 Short try to give you some sentiment on why you could just try to widen the horizon instead of trying to point out the REAL EVIL nations.
1. Different Germanic Kingdoms have fought wars with and against each other
2. Obvious but both germans and austrians fought in WW1 AND 2 and as you have observed, WW1 was very different from WW2.
The fact that Hitler was able establish himself IN GERMANY and rise to the top IN GERMANY and had to perform a coup on the current leader after years of preparation should not be left out of the picture. You may argue that austrians supported hitler and greeted him with open arms but don't forget the situation of the nation back then - a fraction of a country that was previously in monarchy rule for hundreds of years and the idea of having a similar status is something that it's people could easily be convinced to.
3. If you think that humans are any different anywhere else, just check out how czechoslovakia treated the remaining small number of ... "only" 3 million german inhabitants after WW2... Or almost any place of eastern europe that had a german speaking population for that matter. (Hint: today there are almost none left) Keep in mind - that those were functioning societies, destroyed / killed / deported that are not necessarily typically austrian OR german having their own political parties. (In czechoslovakia they had a reasonably big percentage for a minority that could not yet fully decided where to lean towards after WW1). So now with czechoslovakia having used worker camps, deportation, death march AFTER the WW2 on the remaining germans - aren't they worse? Has the curse maybe been passed on to them? Or were they just nicely trying to give the Sudeten Germans a "small" taste of their own medicin? (Small in a sense of - only a mere number of 3 million people affected) Or more importantly... have you warned the people about them already?
Your people didn't start both world wars. You started WW2 after being fed up with what had been done to you following WW1 which was in fact mostly planned and put into motion by British Intelligence and their lackeys (like the Black Hand). The Germans also tried to end WW1 on mutual terms with the "allies" so that the continent (especially the heartland) wouldn't be destroyed and laid to waste with millions more dying. The good guys lost World War 1 and were bakmed for starting it, and we're then punished and dehumanized by the most evil empire the world has ever seen, purely out of spite and jealousy. What started out as brother wars that should have never happened turned into a d*** measuring contest that the Brits didn't like losing, so they had to throw every rule out and sell their souls just to emerge victorious instead of being on mutual and equal terms with their nemesis the Germans. You're still an occupied and controlled nation with a defeated mindset, and the fact that you're never allowed to be completely proud of your identity and heritage -including the best history of any country and the most inventions and accomplishments of any nation- speaks volumes. I hope one day the land of thinkers and poets regain their sanity and pride. ❤🇩🇪

Italian who lived in Frankfurt here. Your german is good, only your pronunciation of the word "zwischen" was strange! 😄
Uncomfortable fun fact: This whole “Germans and Austrians are sooo super different and not the same“ is a post-WWII thing. Before 1945 they were generally regarded as the same ethnic group. Even old prewar ethnographic maps of Europe from the UK show Germans and Austrians as ONE group.
Artificially divided & separated after the war. And lastly, of course you’ll find massive differences if you take someone from let‘s say North Rhine Westphalia and someone from Austria. If you take someone from southern Bavaria though, the differences are almost nil from a Northern perspective.
As an Austrian married to someone grom Saxony, there are actually quite a lot of differences. It is always the Germans who are a bit ignorant about Austria who claim there hardly is a difference, until they move here. I think a lot of Germans have a hard time moving here because they treat it like moving to a different German state and quickly find out it is not.
Germans: Austria has beautiful landscapes, the people are friendly and open. Always had a pleasant time there. Interesting dialect.
Austrians: The germans are cold and strict. We don't like the germans because of history (because we like to pretend Hitler wasn't austrian and the majority wanted the Anschluss). Austria is more beautiful and better in general, high german sounds annoying. Also, germans are stingy, snobby and yeah, we are friendlier.
Really makes you wonder...
Nope. Is the same for the rest of Europe.
Yes it really makes you wonder how anyone would think it makes sense to base your assessment of a whole ethnic group on the statements of 5 to 10 people 👍
Austrians are simply honest. 😅
You nailed it. No wonder Dr. Freud found such fertile ground in Vienna. ;-)

i was never super interested in going to austria because i thought it was much like germany, germany which i have been in a few times does seem very closed off and i didn't feel at home in berlin because i don't speak german
this definitely makes me more interested in austria, because like the people in the video said, they are more open
Def visit Austria, it's quite different from Germany. But not Vienna, if you wanna see a nice city come to Salzburg, Innsbruck or Graz(people are usually warmer there), otherwise go to the countryside somewhere in Kärnten,Styria or Tirol. About the "closed" mentality, Austria probably isn't that much better than Germany especially in citys like Vienna (even most Austrians don't like their attitude and kind of dislike the people of the city). On the countryside people are way nicer (probably same in Germany) but they tend to be more closed of at first, especially towards foreigners. At any more traditional restaurant (Gasthaus) outside the city we usually greet everyone and wish them a good meal by saying (mahlzeit) even if we don't know the people. Also, do the locals greet each other on the streets(grüß gott) and engage in little conversations and so on. In a city nobody does this because there are simply way too many people to greet and way to many people eating in a restaurant. People on the countryside are also not as used to seeing and talking to foraigners esspecially outside the tourist regions and are either very open and interested or very closed off since they might not be that good at speaking English. If you try speaking "German" (or better Austrian German) most Austrians will probably be very nice to you. But my advice is to stay away from tourist places and really go to the locals locations. It is way more comfortable in a local traditional restaurant than in an expensive more international restaurant in a city. Just whole different vibes. A lil tip, If there is a lot of old wood used everywhere and quite a shit ton of deer skulls and antlers on the walls you are at the right location. If you have some other questions about visiting austria feel free to ask. Otherwise have a great day.

Als eine Migrantin, die seit mehr als 10 Jahren in Österreich lebt, muss ich sagen, dass Deutsche freundlicher sind als Österreicher. Nicht böse gemeint. Ich habe deutsche und österreichische Freunde und ich habe gut beobachten können, dass meine deutschen Freunde viel mehr Humor haben. Aber es kann sein, dass dies alles eher mit der individuellen Persönlichkeit zu tun hat. Meiner Meinung nach, haben Deutsche und Österreicher mehr Gemeinsamkeiten als Unterscheide. Eine Gemeinsamkeit wäre natürlich die Sprache und der Dialekt ist kein wirklicher Unterschied, weil es auch in Deutschland viele Dialekte gibt. Ein Unterschied wäre vielleicht die Verhaltensweisen, zB: wie man Entscheidungen trifft und Sachen angeht. Die wichtigste Gemeinsamkeit zwischen Deutschen und Österreicher ist die gemeinsame Ethnie, die nicht vergessen werden darf.
Österreicher sind Kelten.
Kommt auf den Humor an. Was Deutsche als lustig empfinden, lockt vielen Österreichern oft nicht einmal ein Lächeln heraus.
@@wernerschneider4460 Da stellt sich dann immer die Frage, wer vor beiden keinen Humor hat.
Austria is very conservative in many ways, and more private I would say. Germans I feel like tend to be less cold to other people most of the time, but if you make an Austrian friend they are very close and friendly. Austria feels more relaxed also, we do have the most payed days off in the world if I remember correctly. We also have a different kind of patriotism. Germans pretend to be quite uncomfortable with patriotism, but turn out patriotic in the end, while Austrians have a more ironic/self-aware patriotism ("We live in a banana republic, but it is our banana republic and I guess we have nice mountains.").
Tbh I hate our attitude towards patriotism. In this aspect it is true that Germans are arrogant. Vienna arrogance is much more personal than this weird patriotism of ours. "We have the best engineers, we are always on time, we love order" and so on.

Nuremberg Germany here. You have to hand it to our neighbors, their marketing and PR is way better than ours. The world known most beloved Austrians of all times, Empress Elisabeth “Sissi”, was born in Munich, Germany and Composer Mozart was born in “Salzburger Land”, the region around the city of Salzburg, which back in the day belonged to Bavaria, also Germany.
While the German villain of villains, the small bearded motherf Adolf, was in fact born in Braunau, Austria.
Austria is historically german. Because Germans are a group of people. Germany was created after Germans considered themselves German and the Germans outside of Germany still exist. There are a differences between Germans from the north, east, south and west but we have many things in common even when we don't make up one nation.
Weirdly is that always the callback: "Hitler was from Austria!" 🤷
Well, idk, but I hear the phrase "bUt hItlEr wAs aUsTrIaN" all the time. I don't think there's anyone who doesn't know it, that he was born in Austria

I spent time in both West germany and Austria when I was in the army. I learned German that is considered Berliner German. When I was stationed in northern Germany I had no problems communicating. However, southern Germany and Austria was another story. The dialect was different and they had different words for the same thing. It was a lot of fun, because they would always politely correct me and help me learn. When I was stationed in Hungary, the second language was German, Austrian German. I felt right at home. Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Hollander, I love them all!

I was in Bregens in Austria. I assure you people were not friendly at all and all serious looking. And it was summer ! 😅
I'm from southern Germany, and historically/culturally speaking Austrians and Bavarians are basically the same people. They speak the same dialect and are Catholic. Historically, southern Germany and northern Germany have greater differences, than southern Germany has with Austria and Switzerland. For centuries, Vienna was the capitol of the Holy Roman Empire, covering the entire German speaking realm. Later on, after the Holy Roman Empire dissolved, Austria and Prussia were competing over uniting all Germans. Prussia was northern, and barely was able to unite the southern Germans, who were more Austrian by nature. Today, really an Austrian views German culture and people in a Prussian context, since Prussia united the land that later became "Germany". But really we are all the same people, despite what some Austrians and Germans may think.
This is why Austrians from Mozart to Hitler considered themselves German. There was no concept of a separate identity between Germans and Austrians until after WW2.
As someone from Munich, I feel more connected to Austria than northern German
