Finally an American covers North Germany and not Berchtesgaden, thank you 😍😍😍😂😎 Bremen is beautiful. Coming from Hamburg I admire the more mediavel character of the City centre. I learned quite some new things about Bremen's history, thank you! Wishing you both a happy life in Bremen. 🍀
Bremen is great for a day trip or short weekend trip, but I would definitely prefer to live in Hamburg long term (: I will have to do a video there when things calm down a bit.
@@taylorintransit3421 Yes, probably Hamburg has more options because it's bigger. What both cities share and also generally cities in Nothern Germany is a very liberal and open mindset. Has probably also something to do with the Hanseatic tradition and is probably the thing I love most about Hamburg.
@@mrx2062 If you find Elbphilharmonie, Landungsrücken, Rathaus, Jungfernstieg, Alster, Laeiszhalle, Kunsthalle, Michel, Schanze, Blankenese, Reeperbahn, Speicherstadt, HafenCity, Hagenbecks Tierpark, Neumühlen and Övelgönne, Schloss Bergedorf etc. boring it's surley not up to Hamburg.
@@PianistStefanBoetel Yes, in Hamburg the City is practical for shopping but it has no nice old City center, only modern buildings. Not iteresting really to stay. Bremen is nicer in that respect, but smaller though.
Als gebürtiger Bremer freue ich mich sehr, dass Du meine Heimatstadt so wertschätzt!!!! Mit meinem trockenen norddeutschen Humor sage ich Dir, dass Du Bremen wieder besuchen darfst. Ich bin nach meinem Abitur 1985 jobbedingt nach Frankfurt gezogen und habe danach noch in Boise/ID, Hamburg, Berlin und München gelebt, bis ich 2014 nach Frankfurt gezogen bin. Bis 2015 habe ich Bremen so oft besucht, wie es ging, seitdem aber leider kein einziges Mal mehr (keine Verwandschaft mehr, alle Freunde weggezogen). Immerhin darf ich mich offiziell als Butenbremer bezeichnen (buten = außerhalb), denn ein Bremer bleibt man ein Leben lang! Das "Viertel" war zu meiner Zeit das "Ostertorviertel", und den mittelalterlichen Weihnachtsmarkt an der Schlachte gab es auch noch nicht. Wenn Du das nächste Mal (im Sommer!) den Schnoor besuchst, suche nach dem Katzencafé (ich hoffe, es hat Corona überlebt) und vergiss die Kamera bei der Suche nicht!! Ach, was könnte ich Dir von Bremen alles erzählen, vor allem vom Viertel und dem Bürgerpark, den ich immer noch als schöner empfinde, als den weltweit größten Stadtpark, dem Englischen Garten in München.... Liebe Grüße in den Landkreis Oldenburg, Ralph PS: hab 'nen Abo dagelassen!
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Great, thanks for that video. I was born and raised in Bremen, but haven't been there for years. Could not hardly remember me. But that was a good reminder.
Moin! Als echter Bremer kann ich dem nur beipflichten. Lang lebe der Bremer Freimarkt. As a natural born Bremer i can agree completly. Long live the Bremer popular festival.
This video does a good job. Twelve centuries of history in twelve minutes. I come from Bremen and it is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. You describe it as "mid-size". It is the tenth largest city in germany. Your report of the "Viertel" is a little bit of difficult, because this area has two faces. The one is the multicultural character of the variety of shops and restaurants. The pitoresque collection of the "Bremer Reihenhaus" (terraced houses) buildt mostly in the 19th century. The other face is the presence of a drug scene, crime, violence and prostitution in the evening or during the night. A very interesting area, but you have to know where you go at which time.... But keep enjoying your time here....
The Hanseatic League was a loose organisation of North German cities that dominated North European trade between Flanders, England and Norway via Germany to the Baltic countries and Russia and vice versa from the 12th to 15th centuries. At their strongest around 1370 they did a victorious war on Denmark and in 1400 exported the Rhenish Pound Silver currency to England (there firstly known as the Pound of the Easterlings, in the meanwhile shortened down to Pound Sterling😎)
Thank you for the addition! I didn't have much time to get into details about the Hanseatic League, so I'm glad you mentioned it in the comments! I remember being very confused why the Bremen license plate was HB. :D
Taylor in Transit Hi Taylor, since I learnt the facts about the origin of Pound Sterling I always have to grin when I hear some Brit whining on their so English Pound Sterling 😎
Hello, thank you for your comment. Could you explain what you mean? It seemed like my video was normal. I always take my photos horizontally so that they will fit into the video format.
@@taylorintransit3421 Hallo Taylor, thanks for your reply, again a very nice video, I'm from Bavaria and I was 3 years ago the first time in Bremen and more or less visited the same sections. You have explained this very well, Bremen is an old (former rich) Hanseatic town with a lot of history also the "vibes" of the town were really good described. Really good impression about the city and the sights. The think the image is flipped as in 8:30 the text on the plate on the house is flipped and in 11:38 I thought you are sitting on the drivers seat and it was the right seat, but maybe I'ḿ wrong.
@@YTUSER583 I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and that you recognized some of the places I visited. Oh yeah, you're right! I must have it set in my settings that when I am using my front-facing camera that it is mirrored. I was sitting in the driver's seat! I'll have to change that. Thanks for pointing it out!
Hi- I am originaly from Bremen and I am sorry to say that you stept into a tourist trap. If you place both your hands on the feet of the donkey of the bremer musicians it is good luck- if you place only one hand on one of the feet you are the donkey yourself 😉I liked the video a lot and it was so nice to see the citycenter again. Thaks a lot!!
The Roland was a common symbol in the middle ages to show that this city has the status of imperial city, meaning that there was no nobility having a say over it. Those cities were only subserviant to the Emperor, no one else and they had a seat at the Reichstag, the medieval German parliament.
Thanks for the great video! We are planning to visit Bremen next week, also maybe Bremerhaven, do you have any tips on good food or drinks? Thank you in Advance !!
Hi, Elena! I would recommend browsing for restaurants in Viertel. Whenever I am there I stop for a burrito at this small corner shop but there are a lot of sit down restaurants. If you are on the Schlachte along the river you will find more traditional German food but it's a bit pricier. There is also a cupcake place that is so cute calls Coockies Cupcakes that I love! 🙃
No. Coz football is not important. You could make a video about football and stadiums in every friggin small city in Germany and it's kinda our national sport. I understand that. But actually it's not really important for visitors. You really got to be into football otherwise it's not that interesting to see a huge stadium and learn about a football team. I was showed some sports memorials and stadiums in the US and it really was not of interest for me! I was like... Ok, a big stadium. Ok, a team with some kind of history. But how important is friggin football compared to all that history you can learn? Learn about Werder when you visit Bremen quite often. Otherwise it's just unimportant. And i say this as a person which loves Bremen!

where was the burrito you had at the end of the video? :)
Very nice video about Bremen.
Why are some (all) images flipped horizontally?

i think you forgot the 1 euro hotdogs and club mate hehehehe

You forgot one thing, Werder Bremen and the Weser Stadium ;-)
