6:35 technically it actually is a statue of liberty. That's the statue of Arminius who was able to unite the Germanic tribes against the Roman Empire and won against the Romans. The battle in the Teutoburger forest was the essential beginning of Germany even tho it took over 1860 years till Germany actually was united as one country.
Arminius united some germanic tribes and won a battle against the Romans. Drawing a line from there to a german nation is a typical 19th century nationalistic narrative.
And it is about 10 years older than the Statue of Liberty
It's interesting knowing about that aprt of history from the germans' perspective, we studied it from the Romans' pov so i didn't know anything about this Arminius. But I'm curious, what's the origin of his name, it's very Latin-like, was it perhaps how he was known as by the Romans?
@@irenecarrillo6750 In fact his name is a latin one, but the heritage is unknown. For further information about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius
@@irenecarrillo6750 In German it is called the Herrmannsdenkmal (Memorial of Hermann) and he is mainly known as Herrmann der Cherusker (Hermann the cherusci). Arminius is indeed the latinized version of Herrmann. He actually served in the Roman army, spoke Latin and even gained roman citizenship through that. He was sent back to Germania by the Romans themselves to aid them in their efforts to pacify the Germanic tribes.
I think what's truly mindblowing here, is that the younger generations don't even realise when watching this video, is that so many of these towns and cities were completely destroyed, raised to the ground, with bare shells of the buildings standing at best, not more than 75 years ago and today, it's as if nothing ever happened.
Germany is the very epitome of what it means to be broken and hopeless, but still picking yourself up by your bootstraps and being reborn in a new glory for the ages ahead. All that, but on a scale of an entire nation. Absolutely inspiring!
You are so right 😔

It took 632 years to build this "church" (Not castle) called the Kölner Dom or Cologne Cathedral and therefore that building is now about twice as old as the United States is as an independent country. Which I've always found very crazy.
Wait, they are finished building the Kölner Dom?

Hello Heidi, I put together some guidelines for old European architecture:
1. if it has a cross on top, it is always a church - for most of the time, the church was the most important building, so they are often very splendid. May have one central tower or two identical towers next to each other, If the towers are extra spiky, it is a gothic-style church from the middle ages (like the Cologne dome)
2. a complex of buildings on a hilltop, surrounded by a wall: a defensive castle or fortress, most likely medieval - lots of tough neighborhoods back then.
3. very elaborate building complex with lots of fancy decorations, surrounded by a park: a residential palace of the former king, duke or whatever - definitely post-medieval (as medieval palaces would overlap with castles).
4. similar type of show-off building, but less fancy and in the middle of the city, next to the central marketplace: usually the city hall. Because the mayor and the city council were as important as the monarch and deserved an equally impressive building, right?
5. a row of big old-style houses, cramped on one side of the marketplace: those are the houses of the bigwigs of former times, like politicians or rich merchants who could afford the most prestigious real estate in the city center.
6. a big, circular building, often with a dome/cupola: most likely a theater or opera house.
7. a single tower just in the middle of the streets: this is a watchtower from the old city walls, often next to a gate or with a gated passage at the bottom level. You had to monitor who goes in and out and keep the bad guys from coming in.
Note that this only identifies the original use - of course, a castle may have become a palace over time or the residential building might have become the city hall when the king or duke was kicked out. Most of the churches are still churches though.
And finally, 8: If there are skyscrapers, it is Frankfurt - or "Mainhattan" as we call it. Never heard a comparison with Las Vegas, but that might fit as well.
👏
what a useless comment
I am Dutch, but my ancestors come from Germany. And I think Germany is a very beautiful country. However, if you come to Europe, be prepared for a mild culture shock. Prepare well. Maybe a week in Amsterdam first to get used to Europe a bit and you won't have a language problem there because everyone speaks good English. In shops and restaurants you are often addressed in English. But especially enjoy beautiful Germany. It's really very beautiful!
Hahaha, yeah, get high in Amsterdam and you won't be shocked about the rest of Europe lol
*Kulturschock - Viele Türken, Araber, Afghanen und Afrikaner. Kaum noch Deutsche.*
@@thorstenwinter6075 Behalt diesen verbalen Dreck für dich.
Bert - you know that Dutch people have mostly their origin in the tribe of the Bataver (a germatic tribe). By the way the Bataver have found a style of swimming that naval frogmen still use today.
@@brownhatknight3473 Well, I'm not descended from the Batavians. My roots are from both my father's side and my mother's side, as far as we have been able to determine, all from the Osnabrück, Bielefeld, Münster area. From there on foot to the Netherlands. The Netherlands was already an independent nation at that time, but Germany was not yet. Not a problem linguistically, because both in the east of the Netherlands and in the current west and north of Germany, only Plattdeutsch was spoken at that time, which was about the same language as the eastern Dutch dialects.
Heidi, I would recommend that you plan your trip around Germany well and in advance since it is a very large and culturally and geographically diverse country (especially between North and south, and between the cold war era East and West Germany).
You have to remember that Germany is a country the size of Montana and with a population of twice that of California. And contrary to the US the cities are generally smaller and more scattered around. :)
and Heidi, IF you come to Germany, don't expect too much appreciation for you YT nickname "HAIL Heidi", cooooould be probably misunderstood 😂
the green roofs on the Lübercker Holzentor are copper roofs which turn green over the years. the red stones are bricks that were built.
The statue is indeed the Statue of Liberty for the Germans. It is called Hermann and symbolizes Arminius, who defeated the Romans in the Teutoburg Forest, granting freedom to the Germans from Roman invasion, also known as the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest under Varus. It represents the freedom of the Germans.
And is symbolic because (as we know it) it was the first time that different germanic tribes (that mostly fight each other) unified and showed that unified Germans are strong enough to even defeat the invulnerable romans. A highly romanticized Symbol in the mid 19th century where the german people starts to dream of a unified german nation.
Heidi, I love your channel for supporting Europe so much! Keep going on to telling the story of we are not the "old" world. I appreciate that very much!
the roofs of many historic buildings are made or coated in bronze, so at the time of construction it would actually have looked golden. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin. When copper oxidates/rusts, it turns green (as opposed to iron e.g. which turns red). That is why those roofs are green today.
Just imagine them being golden back then.
Ever since it was discovered how to make bronze it has been used as a substitute for gold in jewellery, weapons, construction, etc. Because it looks the same and is so much cheaper to produce.
Bronze is brittle and therefore not suitable for roofs. The roofs are made with pure copper. Many statues are made from bronze. Both become green with time.
Grünspan
@@hape3862 funnily enough the roofs nowadays started turning brown, so churches can now buy their copper roofs artifically turned green.
Also: Wooo Augschburg
@@hape3862 you are correct. My bad.
@@HrLBolle Nö Patina. Grünspan ist basisches Kupferacetat.
In 1983, the German band "Geier Sturzflug" sang the song "Visit Europe". Back then it was the cold war and there was fear of nuclear war. I was 14 and wasn't as scared then as I am now. Friedel Geratsch sings in the song of "Geier Sturzflug" "Visit Europe! As long as it still stands." Sad that after 40 years we are again at the point of a nuclear threat. The song is up to date again. I hope that everything will turn out well.
It's funny. I live 20 minutes away from that one colourful palace that amazed you and I haven't visited it in ages. Same with my hometown, which was shown several times and you commented on. I know the places are impressive and beautiful, but watching you react to them makes me appreciate them more and want to visit them again. I guess I have a plan for next weekend! Thanks!
7:05 Hermann Monument - For german clans defeating roman legions under the lead of "Arminius" and ending (most of) the roman "rule" with opression over german clans. Drastically shifting back their lines on germanic soil. Its the "battle of Varus". Happened in the second half of the year 9 after christ.
well.. arminius was killed by his fellow tribesmen soon after defeating varus the roman - so he failed in total by uniting the germanic tribes and in "ending roman rule". romans came back 20 years later and did "rule" significant lands inhabited by different germanic tribes. and of some sorts they layed the foundation of "germany" - since the seat of the throne of the holy roman empire (later added with: "of the german nation") was and still is located in "aquae granni", nowadays aachen, west of cologne.
so.. long story short: as as the "holy roman empire (of the german nation)" is somewhat the strongest predecessor of something like the german nation - i'd say that the romans of some sort birthed the foundations of germany.
arminius on the other hand was (and unfortunately still is) abused by absolutistic german nationalism to instill some vibe of superior german pride ("deutschland über alles").
9:45: There you have the Frauenkirche (literally: Ladies' Church) in Dresden. Destroyed in that horrendous air raid in Feb. 1945, it lay in ruins for about 45 years, until it was rebuilt soon after Reunification, with about 60 % of the limestone blocks and ornaments still intact. The spire (called "Laterne") with the bell inside was a donation by the British Royals.
9:39 The Lego look comes from the reuse of bricks in the reconstruction that were burned in the fires from the bombs of World War II.
I know that makes it a little less cute somehow, but that's why it looks that way. And it is interesting to know, i guess. You can see that in many buildings in Germany.
And you can probably spend a lifetime to learn everything about the history of any of those several hundred years old buildings that you see in this video.
1:35 Cologne cathedral. Fun fact: Construction started in 1248 and it was only finished in 1880, so including interruptions it took over 600 years to build. Many people consider it the 'perfect cathedral'.
The music in the original is:
Song 1: Two Steps from Hell - Victory (Album: Battlecry)
Song 2: Fearless Motivation Instrumentals - Meaning of Life (Instrumental) (Album: Sounds of Soul: Uplifting Background Music, Vol. 3)
Song 3: Fearless Motivation Instrumentals - Surround Yourself with Winners (Epic Instrumental) (Album: Sounds of Power 5)
If you activate the subtitles in the original video the names (for most places) will be shown.
The "White buildings with the brown wood" are called "Fachwerkhäuser".
"is that the German Statue of Liberty?" Very funny!
My mother is older than the Statue of Liberty.
Amis copy European things. What American things could we copy which we haven´t got soo much longer?
The question should be: "Is the Statue of Liberty the American Hermannsdenkmal?"
2 months :) cute. Germany has about 22000 castles. So even if you visit one per day, you'd be busy for the next 60ish years. some of them are still used as residenz, a lot are turned into museums now. some have been built "recently" so maybe 300 years ago, some are over 1000 years old.
If I was an American I'd have a hard time sticking even to just one country. If you're in the Munich area, how can you not make a quick trip to Salzburg, Budapest, Vienna, Prague, Bratislava... it's all so close and beautiful. And if you're near Berlin how can you not check out the Polish west. If you're in Schleswig Holstein how can you not take a quick trip to Denmark and southern Sweden or the norwegian southern fjords...
And once you move towards the mediterranean and former Roman provinces... geez... Then it's really game over
Just love Germany, Iv been a few times in very different places and it’s all fabulous
The people I met where all nice and very friendly and the road and public transportation works so well
Not quite, it is close to 25000, BUT ... unfortunately the majority of them are ruins. There are 5000 or less preserved or reconstructed castles in Germany.
Most of those are not in the condition as the ones in this video, though.
@@LeutnantJoker And if you stop by Salzburg - visit St. Peters Stiftkeller (an eatery). Opened its doors in ....803 (no I'm not missing a 1). One of the worlds oldest businesses in continues operation. It is said that even Christopher Columbus visited at one point (amongst many others such as Faust and Mozart).
I'm convinced that the Music is from "Two Steps from Hell", they have made a lot of this kind of "Epic Music" without Vocals (or very little Vocals often as a Choir in the background).
Two steps from hell victory
@@Fydron Yes you are correct here
1:42 Cologne Cathedral
2:34 It's called Fachwerk, best english translation that I know is half-timbered.

cmon, don't take Sanssouci away from Potsdam xD
@@zomfgroflmao1337 oki
0:40 is Neuschwanstein Castle
I think "Fachwerk" is also called timber frame. Because timber was expensive, they only build a frame of timber in medieval times and filled the gaps with cheaper materials (like clay they put on small branches that are also in those gaps) IIRC they also mixed the clay with horse manure for some reason I forgot.
@@Capt.-Nemo thx. But I only mentioned the ones that Heidi asked for.
Where you stopped at 6:08 talking about no cars in the street is the Bremen marketplace. The whole area there is a "Fußgängerzone" a dedicated pedestrian area where no cars are allowed. You'll find such zones in many cities downtown. Here in Bremen only the Tramway is allowed to drive through. You see (from left to right) the Bremen city hall at the left, then the Bremen cathedral, the state parliament of Bremen federal state (the more modern building with the large windows) and at the far right the Baumwollbörse.
Again and again I see these videos and I see the glow in the eyes of the people from the USA. But many of you seem to forget that your ancestors came from countries like Germany.
That's probably where the connection comes from that some of you feel on the other side of the big pond :)
I'm always delighted as hell to hear how beautiful you all think our country is. :D
People do spend time on the beach, but not always on German beaches. If you live in the south of Germany it's quicker to reach the mediterranean than the actual German cost. but if you're more in central or northern Germany, especially the Wattenmeer or the Baltic Sea costs are often places where Germans spend time on the beach yes. But we also have tons of rivers that have beautiful relaxation areas along their banks that are often spots like that, and of course plenty of lakes.
I want to add, that the water around the German beaches in the north are most often just too frickin cold. Yes, people like to visit. But most of the year you have to pack a raincoat or something thicker.
I live on Lake Constance and 75% of my life takes place on the water.
@@arnodobler1096 Yeah, in the south it's usually just lakes or rivers. On the Danube, The Salzach, on lake Constance or Chiemsee...
@@LeutnantJoker You can see from Constance to Bregenz only from the Constance Minster 40 m, because of the curvature of the earth
the white houses with the brown sticks? you mean the half-timbered houses. This houses built with Wood and clay. Some houses are over hundreds of years old. Germany's oldest half-timbered house has been discovered in Quedlinburg (Saxony-Anhalt). Since the beginning of December 2003, visitors can marvel at the historic building. Examinations of the wooden beams had shown that the house in "Hell 11" was built about 800 years ago.
I'm from Germany. The video is emotional, as a German you don't often have the perspective of how beautiful your own country actually is.
I also have to say that it almost doesn't matter where you are in Europe. Every country has its own beautiful areas and it is just so incredibly nice to be able to visit them everywhere. The countries visited so far are Norway, Denmark, Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Romania and France. All such incredibly beautiful countries that I have visited so far. 🥳🥰
The building-design at 2:37 we germans call "Fachwerk", google translator says: "timbering" or "half-timbering" :)
I love your reactions, *thumbs up.*
And yes, if roofes are green, it is mostly rusted copper :D Sad that copper does not keep it's original color ^^
You will find brick buildings mostly in the North and North East of Germany and Poland. Places where the teutonic knights and hanseatic league were powerful. Southern Germany has a lot of these half-timbered houses. In the south and western parts you will also find relics of ancient Roman buildings. For example in Cologne. One word of warning, tho: if you ever get to go to Germany, bring a pair of really comfy shoes. Those old cobblestone streets are killers 😅
the brick building comment came right after some Hamburg and Hannover spots i think :) so spot on !
Well, the Renaissance (also architecture) arrived earlier in the south (closer and connected to Italy). Half-timbered houses were rather the houses, the not so rich. They had a huge advantage, you could move with the house! Wood was expensive, clay and straw were not.
we also have a lot of half-timbered houses in the north - mostly combined with bricks
@@alexamurawski4524 Yeah, I know. It was just a rough rule of thumb description :)
To anyone who’s going to watch the original video: turn on CC/subtitles. It tells you exactly what cities you’re looking at :)
The statue is called the Great Hermann in Porta Westfalica.
Orange roofs are clay tiles, black roofs are made of slade, green roofs are sheet metal made from copper and oxidized to copper oxide.
The houses are called half-timbered houses, are very old buildings, 14/15/16 century, recommendation for this is the Hessenpark - Neu Anspach in Hessen, near Frankfurt am Main (65 hectares of land and will grow over time)
The statues is of Arminius, germanic chieftain, who united the german tribes more than 2000 years ago to rally them against the roman empire and decisively defeated and destroyed the roman legions in the Teutoburg forest.
As a result, the germanic lands remained unconquered.
The statue was directed at France, an obvious display of the tense relations back in the days.
The first music is „Victory“ by Two Steps from Hell (Album is called Battlecry)
1:36 This is the Kölner Dom 10min train ride from my Home you can hear his bells over few miles and he is over 800 years old.
Imagine if there had been no Second World War, the whole of Germany would be under monument protection and would be a world cultural heritage, which shows how great 2000 years of German culture is.
Hello Heidi, you are the best example for a US Citizen who say Germany is beautiful and clean. I'm German and I love especially the Christmas Markets.
The Hermann Monument is in Detmold near the Exxtern Stones.
The monument is intended to commemorate the Cheruscan prince Arminius, in particular the so-called Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, in which Germanic tribes under his leadership inflicted a decisive defeat on the three Roman legions XVIII, XVIII and XIX under Publius Quinctilius Varus in the year 9.
One of best castles is Not in the Video.
Its called Burg Elz. ( Google find it )
This castle had never been destroyed because the french soldier (17 Century) did not found the castle. Its situated Close to the big River "Mosel" Guided Tours in English are Offert. So nice there !!!
Greetings from Germany
2.13.-2.50. -> Bamberg, my hometown! (look@ the townhall built on water @ 2.44.) :)
Imposing, near angelical patriotic music, imagery of architectural craftmanship and of German mighty resilience, making Germans tear eyed with pride.
Heidi:" Germany is so kjuuuwt.
Look at that cute little fountain.
Cute like Disneyland and Lego."
And casually making noises as if she's seen the cuddliest Chihuahua.. 😅😅😅
we do go to the beach ..but its more common to go to a near lake oder river ( Germany has like thousands and thousand of those ) because they are warmer and near by. We have Beaches only in the North ..and the Water is only a few months in the year warm enough to go in unless you´re a hardcore ice bath lover :D. The Water temperatures in May for example is around 53°F. In Jun/Jul around 62..65°F (North sea )
The place/bulding you mentioned at min. 17:22 ist the Moritzburg Castle, a Baroque palace, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) northwest of the Saxon capital, Dresden. Originally built from 1542 to 1546, as a hunting lodge, the castle was one of the locations in 1972, for the Czechoslovak-German film "Tři oříšky pro Popelku" ("Three Nuts for Cinderella"), which became a popular fairy-tale movie in Central Europe and the US as well.
11:10 The little square in the top left corner is the blurred logo of the tv station they ripped the footage from... 😁
Heidi, there are soooooo many things I'd love to educate you about... we should make a road trip around Germany, you know?
The statue shows Hermann the Cherusker. He was a prince of the Cherusci who inflicted one of their most devastating defeats on the Romans in the Varus Battle in 9 AD by destroying three legions. As a child, like many children, he was taken to Rome by tribal princes and trained there with weapons and pens. He was supposed to help the romans take Germania but he deceived the romans and fought for his people.
This is the city of Dresden and the building is the opera house and is called the Semper Opera
The Hermann Monument is located in the Teutoburg Forest (North Rhine-Westphalia). It depicts Hermann the Cheruscan, who managed to defeat the Romans. No, it definitely does not have the status of the Statue of Liberty in the USA.
And the "round thing" on the tower that you mentioned, together with the tower, is called the "Onion Tower", because on closer inspection the sphere looks like an oversized onion. Many churches in Germany have onion domes like this.
I think what most Americans don't realize is that, the most of the old churches and castles were built before America was colonized. Some of these buildings were built over generations. For example, Cologne Cathedral began construction in 1248, 200 years before America was discovered. The USA became independent in 1776, but Cologne Cathedral was continually expanded until 1880.
This is living history❣
The Herrmann Monument at 6.50 symbolizes Arminius the Etrusker. In the year 9 p.C. he fought against the Roman Army. He led a big Army of Germans from many different native german clans, and destroyed the Romans in the battle of the "Teuteburger Wald" (Teuteburg forest).
6:53 is Hermann Monument (also known as Arminius) He has beaten the Roman Legions in Teutoburg Forest in 9A.C.
6:20 thats not germans statue of liberty. The Statue of liberty is Americas Hermannsdenkmal 😊
The architecture style is called Fachwerkhaus (pl. Fachwerkhäuser) or Half-timbered house (at least that's the translation deepl gave me :D )
If you see a huge building with 2 Huge pointy towers with alot of spikes its probably a cathedral (church). A church is only then a cathedral if a bishop has a seat called cathedra there. The one is the Colone Cathedral. This "spiky" building style is called gothic or "Gotisch" which was build roughly from the middle 12th century to like 1500. The style may vary a bit from early, high to late gothic. Typical caracteristics of gothic style are stone structures with large glass surfaces, clustered columns, pointed towers, large arches, elaborate decorations, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses.
9:50 the church that looks like a Lego building has those black bricks in it because those are the ruins of the Bombing of 1945 by the UK. Under russian occupation, east Germany never took interest in rebuilding it but as soon as the wall fell, reconstruction begun (not exactly instantly after), and the architects integrated what they could of the old church into the new one. I live near Dresden so I am hella biased, but to me Dresden has the most unique look of all the "old towns" of german cities
In germany there is a Fußgängerzone which means pedestrian zone, so that's why u saw places where only people are.
The Statue of Liberty build in 1886, the Hermannsdenkmal (minute 6:45) was build in 1857
The white houses with the wooden Blocks are called "Fachwerkhaus" in germany
You are pointing on Meersburg am Bodensee, Heidi! And before on the Kölner Dom in Cologne. Heidi... such a nice german name....
Yeah , we have the most beutifull contry in the world... Greets from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪❤️❤️❤️
The statue is Herman the Cherusker (Cherusker a German tribe) who defeated the roman army with the German warriors.
The "Statue of Liberty" shows "Hermann (Arminius) the Cheruscan". It is said that he inflicted the Romans one of their most devastating defeats in the Battle of Varus in AD 9 with the destruction of three legions (approx. 18,000 soldiers, a third of the total Roman army). He "freed" the Germanic tribes from the Roman Empire. After the battle, the Romans moved the border of their empire to the western side of the Rhine river.
In Germany, people like to run, chat, meet spontaneously Germany is a beautiful country
The white houses with the brown black stripes are called half-timbered (Fachwerkhaus) houses medieval construction.
The stripes are actually wooden beams.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_framing#German_tradition_(Fachwerkh%C3%A4user)
Also the whole houses with the red roofs are all medieval houses and their medieval town centers.
These are partly buildings that go far back into the Middle Ages.
1:37 That's no castle, that's the _Kölner Dom_ (Cologne Cathedral) *the* landmark of Cologne on the Rhine River.
It’s a church actually a cathedral of Köln , more or less the last standing thing from the city after ww2.
By the way can you react to some German inventions 🙏🏼🇩🇪
Yes I would like to see that too
Yes, please! There is no shortage of Top-10 lists out there!
It's difficult to live modern life without any German invention. I mean... the car for example 😀
"Fußgängerzone" we say in germany, an area without cars! So you can relax and enjoy the show of old architecture buildings, for example in Munich! 🤗

17:17 Castel Moritzburg Saxony
20:16 Wasserturm ("Watertower") Mannheim
Fun fact i live 5 minutes away from a castle in Munich
Nymphenburg btw
first of all, thx for the video. I didn't even know how many beautiful places germany has, even as a german :D
06:50 without Hermann (actually Arminius) middle Europe probably wouldn't be like we know it today. He was the leader of Germanic tribes, faced three roman legions and beat them
well.. since arminius was killed by his fellow tribesmen soon after defeating varus the roman, he failed in total by uniting the germanic tribes. in fact it was the romans that made middle europe what it is today. it even was called "holy roman empire (later added: of the german nation)". you might want to read up on carolus magnus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlemagne) and otho magnus (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_the_Great). both well romanised houses.. ;)
this "hermanns-mythos" you're referring to is rooted in the uprise of absolutistic german nationalism ("deutschland über alles") during the mid-19th century and climaxing with the national socialist german worker party's (nsdap) propaganda during the 1920-30ies. so long story short: "hermann der cherusker ist deutsch-nationalistische propaganda".
The round Las Vegas looking Building at 14:00 is the Radisson Blu Hotel in Frankfurt 🤘🏽
Thank you so sharing this! Wir sollten viel mehr Stolz zeigen für dieses wunderschöne Land in dem wie leben
At 50 seconds “Kölner Dom“ it’s a large cathedral in Cologne
well about the topic refering to the age of buildings. in my city we have buildings starting from 180 AD. it used to be the only imperial residence in the north of the roman empire. sadly only a plaza is seen in the video at 5:34 which is underwhelming compared to other buildings
2 months to visit Germany... hope you can use the rest of the year, to explore the rest of Europe 🙂
The original video has a subtitle function in which one can find the name of each location.
The "castle" at 1:50 is the Cologne Cathedral! ;-)
you just open a map - the special thing about germany: from the north to south is 545 miles, from west to east 398 miles, so you can imagine how compressed everything you see in the video is - for example: Texas is about double of Germany
At 15 seconds, it is not a castle, but the cathedral of Cologne, the "Kölner Dom". Guess someone wrote you alrady, but I can hardly read all comments til today.
Fachwerk Houses are the houses with wood between the cement. They are under protection and can not be altered in any way.
And this was just outside off all these buildings. If you look inside... the WOW will start from the beginning ;)
21:33 Make that two years and after that you never wanna leave again...

11:40 the sleeping Emperor Barbarossa
It's a mystical place.
Little children who have visited the Kyffhäuser Monument together with their parents claim again and again and completely independently of each other that the stature of Barbarossa waved to them.
The Statue's name is "Hermannsdenkmal" and honored Armenius foremost cause of the Battle of the "Teutoburger Forest" where he defeated, in an Ambush, with his 18.000 Soldier, only bad equiped (compare to the roman Force) an Army with around 30.000 Roman soldiers strenght. After the battle Roman forces never crossed the Rhine again and gave up to conquer the german Tribes. The battle was a massacre and the Roman lost almost all their Legions that they deploid.
The rest got slaved, cooked in pots or hanged on trees.
Sorry my english is not the best but i hope you get it.
6:57 it is the hermans denkmal and it is older then the Statue of Liberty
17:22 Moritzburg , its the castle of czech-german cinderella film (aschenbrödel)
6:30 That's a actually sort of true because that's Hermann the Cherusci and it commemorates Arminius, the son of a Cherusci nobel who was taken hostage as a boy, raised in Rome, joined the Roman Army, send back to what is now Germany where he peacefully united the various German tribes in 9 AD to annihilate three Roman legions in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest thus ensuring for eternity that Rome would never get a foothold on the their side of the Rhine River.
It's actually a fascinating story so if you find a video on it you should definitely react to it...

11:55 Hamburg Binnenalster. A part of alter river
Ich kann jedem Deutschlandbesucher nur wärmstens Schloss Neuschwanstein ans Herz legen. Ist das erste Schloss was im Video zu sehn ist.
Moin. The song is from Thomas Bergersen " Victory"
the style you're trying to think of is called Tudor
And the Houses you mentioned are "Fachwerkhäuser"
