Okay a lot to unpack here. 1: NEVER ask a countryman to compare between his or another country or chances are high that you will receive bias. Always ask an outsider to both countries. 2: I realise that German is a hard language to grasp, but the interviewers German was utterly abysmal. 3: You can never describe an entire nation so easily. Austrians for example differ greatly depending on wether they live in the main cities or the mountains. Germany has a greater variety. 4: The reason why Austrians might hate Germans is because of the Austro Prussian war. Austria and Prussia were at that time the two most powerful states of the holy Roman Empire (has nothing to do with Romans). However, The South of Germany (which partly shares the same ancestry as Austria) was aligned and fought together against the Prussians of Northern Germany. You still have a lot to learn about the history of Germany and how politics and royal marriages such as the Habsburgs and Hohenzollerns have entangled it with other nations. th-cam.com/video/kiNWl35ypFw/w-d-xo.html (Austro Prussian war).
Isn't that he problem of our time? Seeing only the differences, I bet there a way more simularites between Gernans and Austrians. We should watch videos taht show how muche we are the same
When I was 16, I went skiing on a class trip to Austria, had an accident there and had to go to hospital. That was the first time in my life that I experienced what racism is and what it feels like. Those were the most miserable weeks of my life. I then drove back to Germany (northern Germany) in the back seat of my friend's private car, without being able to move much, just to get away. Since then, I have not been on good terms with Austria and the Austrians.
There was a thing called Holy Roman Empire until 1804 which was made up by little German-speaking states. And then it was turned into a looser federation amongst these states. Austria had its own empire with non-German speaking countries: Hungary, South Poland, Croatia, North Italy, Czechia, etc. The other most powerful German nation was Prussia. These two were competing to form a unified Germany. Austria wanted a Great Germany but with looser links between the states so it could have kept its non-German territories whilst Prussia wanted a smaller Germany without Austria and with tighter links between the German states. So it had to be decided on the battlefield. The battle took place in the territory of Czechia, near the town Königgrätz (it's called Hradec Králové these days). The battle was won by Prussia so Austria was excluded from Germany. So it was only France that Prussia had to beat. It happened near the town Sedan in 1870. So the Prussians declared the German Reich on 18 January 1871 in the Palace of Versailles near Paris, humiliating the French and Germany annexed Alsace-Lorrihaine. So the Franco-German rivalry starts here that ends up in two world wars.
It needs to be stressed that Germany is very diverse, so you have huge differences within Germany, too. I would even say that Bavarians are more similar to Austrians that people from Hamburg, for example. And that goes for everything: language, culture, food, etc. And about the language: there is no issue at all. There might be a few words that they use we don't, but that is easy to figure out usually. And that also applies to German dialects inside Germany.
German here. Bavarian, less than half an hour to the border. No problems with Austrians. No problem with the dialect, too. Indeed some German dialects are worse in my eyes. Met a lot of Austrians working in Germany ... and for sure it´s vice versa, too. My daughter studies in Austria and I´m fine with it. There are pros and cons everywhere. There are good and bad people everywhere.
I always find that funny. "The Austrian is completely different from the German! He has a completely different culture." What exactly is "the German"? Austria was a German duchy (Mimimi it was an archduchy). And if you include the other German duchies, they are just as different from each other (even today). The Swabian is just as foreign to the Brandenburger as vice versa.
oh i remembered a storry from when i was younger there was this austrian girl ir young woman on a platfrom that does not exist any longer similat to facebook but for joung students and we had this role play szene and goin on and she and this sounds unbelivable but why should i lie she claimed she had copy right and anyy other charachter looking similar to this would be illegal and she lied about being an police trainie (to wrongly claim u are police is illegal at least in germany and most people where from germany) quess waht the charachter was? a snow white wolf with also white eyes ................somethin u would never get any copy right for i dont even think as a brand mascot u would need somethin more there anyway she terrorized everyone mentally about it children on top of that i fought back noone else had the nerv and it was honestly mentally straining i was not well in this time thats probaply why i almost forgot about it this was my first experience with an austrian my second one is a good one we are stillfriends but to be fair she was not raised austrian jeh she grew up there but her family is a muslem refuge family religious they where not interpreting it all as it was expectet in their home country and becouse the mother was pregnant with her older sister they fled stardet a new life so shes raised modern half openly muslem jeh her parants still tried to marry her to a random guy she met once but also agreed on devorce once she was about to end her life they came around and realited they became what they fled from shes fine dont worry so the only good experience i ever had with an austrian is someine who was not really raised austrian so that doesnt count all other encounters are mildly negative but negative non the less
I HATE Austrian pronunciation… Sorry! I don’t hate Austrians, of course, but I can’t stand the Austrian accent. There was a joke in the nineties that I still laugh about, actually two, about the German-Austrian rivalry and stereotypes (that I admittedly still think are rather funny: a) why don’t Austrians eat snails? “Do sieagst a Schneckn, büggst di nieda und husch husch san’s foat” (in Austrian accent: “you see a snail, bend down towards it and whoosh, they’re gone”). This plays with the German impression that Austrians are really slow and possibly a little too relaxed at times. B) And a pre-Schengen joke: Question: What stands at the German Austrian border and has an IQ of 45? Answer: an Austrian border official AND his German shephard… I think national rivalries between neighboring states are quite normal, especially between countries that speak the same language and have a long history of interactions.
(warning: Im spicy about austria) haha he uses english grammar when speaking german and sometimes his pronounceation sounds a bit dutch verry thin ice today i jsut lerned from another video that dutch people dont like to be called Hollaänder couse its only a small region in the netherlands and i am most certain she emnt whole of netherlands with that jikes for her other point yeh germans are a little bit more friendly for autistic people like me in austria i think i would have mental breakedown 24/7 interessting as a german i would say austrians are effin arrogant but i let him speak and im right about that jeh north germans are more layed back and they have a different kind of humor doesnt mean they have less humor lmao wild assumptions (no im not even north german but ive been there i know people) stingy? let me guess his only experience in germany was maybe swabia although i can not say the people are stingy there couse i never been there its a steriotype for sure or maybe another reagion whats wrong about keeping ur money together in case of emergency when it comes to hospitilaty and spending for guests there are large regional differences and neither me nor my friends would let the guest pay never ! stingy ....pf the air is better ? maybe they all got fresh air poisoning then becouse esotheric is bigger in austria than it is in germany (per capita ) air is definetly thinner lmao also lot of times from beliving a stone can heal ur cancer to beliving the jewish are evil there is usually not as big of an step.............just saying and personaly i dont care about friendlyness when u cant even admit ur own dark part in history here in leipzig i had 2 unfriendly supermarkt encounters in my 29 jears of living here one was while the wave gothic meet i was in the szene back then (for me it was a phase) and i was nit finding anything in the store and i wantet to just pass the check out but i got bag controled an old lady before me passed through with nothing no issue so...this person got unprofetional as she had something against goths the other one was a casshier that usualy was always friendly but she must have had a bad day it was so out of charachter of her everyone has a bad day so yes definetly hannover .... at least not all of germany not germany in generell the guy in the rad mask proofes my arrogance point he did not even had valid explanation only pure patriotisim no shit read haired lady i dont like u either .....history? it was not our devil sporn we "just" where desperate and easy to manipulate she looks like one of these esotheric " therapists" not gona lie and to call us a cultural group is brave of her we germans dont even (with exeptions) have much culter left after everyone got convertet to be a christian just striped of all culture in a whim ok in this point the guy is right german is like icecold crisp mountain water and austrian is like fresch milk (if this makes sence) maybe it does maybe it doesnt

Greetings from austria, i ask my german friends about the topic… and they answered the same as we austrians: passt schon 🤘🤘🇦🇹🇦🇹
They hate and love each other!

oh i remembered a storry from when i was younger there was this austrian girl ir young woman on a platfrom that does not exist any longer similat to facebook but for joung students and we had this role play szene and goin on and she and this sounds unbelivable but why should i lie
she claimed she had copy right and anyy other charachter looking similar to this would be illegal and she lied about being an police trainie (to wrongly claim u are police is illegal at least in germany and most people where from germany) quess waht the charachter was? a snow white wolf with also white eyes ................somethin u would never get any copy right for i dont even think as a brand mascot u would need somethin more there
anyway she terrorized everyone mentally about it
children on top of that
i fought back noone else had the nerv and it was honestly mentally straining i was not well in this time thats probaply why i almost forgot about it
this was my first experience with an austrian
my second one is a good one we are stillfriends but to be fair she was not raised austrian jeh she grew up there but her family is a muslem refuge family religious they where not interpreting it all as it was expectet in their home country and becouse the mother was pregnant with her older sister they fled stardet a new life
so shes raised modern half openly muslem
jeh her parants still tried to marry her to a random guy she met once but also agreed on devorce once she was about to end her life they came around and realited they became what they fled from
shes fine dont worry
so the only good experience i ever had with an austrian is someine who was not really raised austrian so that doesnt count
all other encounters are mildly negative but negative non the less
Yo Bruh i think you forgot the Link to the original video ;)
Fixed it thanks. The entire description was missing 🧐

but the joke is kinda true xD
Wow. Huge collection of prejudices, over-simplifications and generalisations... makes me kinda sad :(
is there a reason why you dont say ww2 out loud or is it just a habit or why dont you do it?
Austrians are better Germans for as much as the Serbs improved their blood type.
my goood its biiiiiile feld not beile feld
(warning: Im spicy about austria)
haha he uses english grammar when speaking german and sometimes his pronounceation sounds a bit dutch
verry thin ice today i jsut lerned from another video that dutch people dont like to be called Hollaänder
couse its only a small region in the netherlands and i am most certain she emnt whole of netherlands with that jikes
for her other point yeh germans are a little bit more friendly for autistic people like me in austria i think i would have mental breakedown 24/7
interessting as a german i would say austrians are effin arrogant but i let him speak
and im right about that jeh north germans are more layed back and they have a different kind of humor doesnt mean they have less humor lmao wild assumptions (no im not even north german but ive been there i know people)
stingy?
let me guess his only experience in germany was maybe swabia although i can not say the people are stingy there couse i never been there its a steriotype for sure
or maybe another reagion
whats wrong about keeping ur money together in case of emergency when it comes to hospitilaty and spending for guests there are large regional differences
and neither me nor my friends would let the guest pay never !
stingy ....pf
the air is better ? maybe they all got fresh air poisoning then becouse esotheric is bigger in austria than it is in germany (per capita )
air is definetly thinner lmao also lot of times from beliving a stone can heal ur cancer to beliving the jewish are evil there is usually not as big of an step.............just saying
and personaly i dont care about friendlyness when u cant even admit ur own dark part in history
here in leipzig i had 2 unfriendly supermarkt encounters in my 29 jears of living here
one was while the wave gothic meet i was in the szene back then (for me it was a phase) and i was nit finding anything in the store and i wantet to just pass the check out but i got bag controled an old lady before me passed through with nothing no issue so...this person got unprofetional as she had something against goths
the other one was a casshier that usualy was always friendly but she must have had a bad day it was so out of charachter of her everyone has a bad day
so yes definetly hannover .... at least not all of germany not germany in generell
the guy in the rad mask proofes my arrogance point
he did not even had valid explanation only pure patriotisim
no shit read haired lady i dont like u either
.....history? it was not our devil sporn we "just" where desperate and easy to manipulate
she looks like one of these esotheric " therapists" not gona lie
and to call us a cultural group is brave of her
we germans dont even (with exeptions) have much culter left after everyone got convertet to be a christian just striped of all culture in a whim
ok in this point the guy is right
german is like icecold crisp mountain water and austrian is like fresch milk (if this makes sence) maybe it does maybe it doesnt
u said it germans where tryin to be nice praising the austrians and austrians where self obsessed and made germany small(so phrase it niceley)
So all their talking about being nicer and less arogand in my ears is bullshit lmao
