Prisoners in Germany are still hunted by the Police, and if they are caught, they go back to prison to serve the rest of their sentences.Not punishable means only, that they do not get aditional charges for the escape itself.But if they damage property, hurt people, steal or commit any other crime in the process, they are charged with these.

We actually won 6 World Cups. 4 with the men, 2 with the women team.

Dinner for One is a true New Years classic in Germany. I used to watch it every year with the family since I was a child. I would like to see a reaction from both of you to it.

This Hasselhoff story is a running joke. I would say that most Germans under 45 don't even know who Hasselhoff is. It's true, he had some successful songs in the '90s. At the time, he was a big TV star thanks to “Night Rider” and “Baywatch.”

im 53 and im smiling every time they say that the " hoff " is so loved in germany because that was over 30 years ago but its allways fun to hear from the past

fellow austrian here….i used to be soo obsessed with dinner for one my grandma even got it for me on dvd😭 i still watch it every new years eve🥰

Learned SO MUCH in this video! Germany is incredible & I am proud to have German ancestors. Really loved this!

18:43 There is no state named "west saxony", it's called Niedersachsen or Lower-Saxony.

Fun Fact that I learned recently. Grape-flavoured everything is mostly a thing in the US, because currants have been banned there for a long period of time (1911 to 1966) due to a plant disease that threatened the American white pine. Therefore currant-flavouring was replaced by grape-flavouring. In Germany, currant-flavouring is much more present than grape (probably because we prefer to make wine out of grapes) 😄

Hi, I lived and worked in Germany for 30 years. The answer to the beer formula is no, it has never changed, it is set in law and is called “Deutsche Reinheitsgebot”, translates to the German Purity law, it has been in existence since 1516….

Hi from Germany! Usually kids get some sweets or books or pencils or other "small" presents in their school cone! Never heard someone got a mobile phone or something 😅

Forget about No. 21! David Hasselhoff is not that loved here, this topic is nothing but a running gag 🙂 It has to do with his appearance on the Berlin wall in 1989 singing "I've been looking for freedom". To be fair, the TV series Knight Rider and of course Baywatch from the late 1980ies early 1990ies were very famous here in Germany. But - the series, not David. Sorry, mate.

Good morning ladies! You should check out "this is germany" by Dr. Ludwig ( the new version).

There are over 3000 different types of bread in Germany, not 300 as the guy said.

24:43: If the police catch you, you have to go back in prison for ending your court sentence. But you don’t get any additional punishment for fleeing.

Grapes are big in the UK. It's called 'wine'! 😀

80) Missing the fun fact that the blue color of the seats in the Bundestag is copyrighted. You are not allowed to use the same shade of blue at any other place. 83) The hare was a symbol of fertility as were the eggs, and some jerk put both together. Additionally eating eggs during the Lent before Easter was not allowed to Catholics, and so they had to boil any eggs laid prematurely by hens before Easter (and which could not be hidden in egg noodles or similar) to make them lasting till then. 84 ) Actually the christmas tree tradition originated in the Alsace which is rather "on-and-off" German, as well as the idea to replace some of the apples hung in the tree to be eaten by the children with glass bubbles. It was then spread through the Baltics, which were at that time heavily influenced by German traders and Teutonic knights from Prussia. 89) The Spreuerhofstrasse in Reutlingen is an alley which is only 50 meters long. At its northern end it furcates around three houses attached to another, and it is the smaller of this forks which is only between 31 and 50 centimeters wide. It was built in 1727 during reconstruction efforts after a massive citywide fire and registered as city track No. 77. 90) Not to forget the village Killer in the Killer valley. But the German verb "wanken" means rather "to sway" and is related to "winken" - to wave. 94) Actually there are different systems in place in Germany. The most logical is imho that in the Southwest: 8:15 is a quarter (of) nine, 8:30 is half (of) nine, 8:45 is three quarters (of) nine. You should always look forward, not backward. 99) That copyright dispute is solved now. 100) Sorry for his efforts, but that word is only a joke. It was made up and did never really exist, because the thing it describes never existed. The model for it was presumably the (Austrian) Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän, a ship captain within the Erste Donau-Dampfschiffahrts-Gesellschaft (DDSG, First Danube Steamboat Company, existing 1829 to 1991 in Austria). The actually longest word was Rindfleisch­etikettierungs­überwachungs­aufgaben­übertragungs­gesetz (try it again with this!) and was the official "short form" title for the "Gesetz zur Übertragung der Aufgaben für die Überwachung der Rinderkennzeichnung und Rindfleischetikettierung" (Cattle marking and beef labeling supervision duties delegation law) in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern from 1999 to 2013. (As the law was proposed in state parliament, the members reacted with loud laughter.) Another 'short form' law title was Grundstücks­verkehrs­genehmigungs­zuständigkeits­übertragungs­verordnung (long title: Verordnung zur Übertragung der Zuständigkeiten des Oberfinanzpräsidenten der Oberfinanzdirektion Berlin nach § 8 Satz 2 der Grundstücksverkehrsordnung auf das Bundesamt zur Regelung offener Vermögensfragen, GrundVZÜV), roughly Regulation on the delegation of authority concerning land conveyance permissions), a decree (=Verordnung) established 2003 and repealed 2007. Only 'short' law titles do become occasionally so long in German - I suppose there is some secret competition in law-makers offices regarding long short titles for very minor regulations.

Girls, don't hassel the Hoff! He even recorded two or three songs in german and collaborated with Matthias Reim for "verdammt ich lieb dich" (a cult classic). He most certainly was not the reason for the fall of the Berlin wall, but his timing Was spot on😂

It‘s actually true that it‘s illegal to run out of gas on the Autobahn. There are gas stations at every exit of the Auotbahn and you usually have a lot of exits so it shouldn‘t be a problem to look at your gas tank and drive to a gas station.

I love Germany right now becouse they host the Euro 2024 ⚽️🫶

I live close to the black forest., and it is an astonishing place, even if you live there and see it every day.

Funfact: Felix Hoffman, the guy that invented Aspirin invented heroin in the same week, at the same desk. Ur welcome world.

P.S.: according to that brewery's web site, the formula hasn't changed, they still use the same ingredients in the same proportions. Plus there is the "Reinheitsgebot" (“Purity Law”), enacted in Bavaria in 1516, which restricted the ingredients in beer to barley, hops, and water.

Hi Natasha and Debbie! I would suggest “Meet the Germans”. There are 4 episodes, presenting the four regions of Germany. Pretty interesting and entertaining 😊

I travelled to Germany several times in the early 1990s (Mainly going to US air bases with my Dad). It is a fascinating place to visit, great scenery, great food, great transport network.

27:17: They didn‘t change the formular and they are proud to do so. They added other kind of beer but you can get still the old beer (and it is still the top seller, I guess).

About the Zoos and Animal Parks. There are a few German TV Shows about different Zoos in Germany and they are also on RU-vid but sadly only in german and only with german subtitle. But if you interessted which Zoos are the best these are the ones and i put it in the brackets behind the Show names. - Elefant, Tiger & Co. (Zoo Leipzig) - Pinguin, Löwe & Co. (Allwetterzoo Münster) - Panda, Gorilla & Co. (Tierpark und Zoo Berlin) - Eisbär, Affe & Co. (Wilhelma Stuttgart) - Giraffe, Erdmännchen & Co. (Zoo Frankfurt und Opel-Zoo Kronberg) - Wolf, Bär & Co. (Wildpark Lüneburger Heide) - Nashorn, Zebra & Co. (Tierpark Hellabrunn) - Leopard, Seebär & Co. (Tierpark Hagenbeck) - Seehund, Puma & Co. (Zoo am Meer) - Dresdner Schnauzen (Zoo Dresden) - Ostseeschnauzen (Zoo Rostock) - Tierisch Kölsch (Zoo Köln) - Ruhrpott-Schnauzen (Zoo Duisburg) - Berliner Schnauzen (Zoo Berlin) - Nürnberger Schnauzen (Tiergarten Nürnberg)

Fun video! Thanks. Please react to Feli from Germany - 5 farytails and their cruel German origin.

Morning lovely ladies , this should be great , I enjoyed your reactions to the UK and the Scottish versions of 101 facts , always keen to learn about other Countries 😂😂 xx

To the black forest, that you thought it's a cake. It's to 50% true. We have an "Schwarzwälder-Kirschtorte" a black forest cherry cake.

29:25: The German bread register has around 3,200 entries - that is significantly more than the "over 300" mentioned in the video.

To your question abput the Prison escape law. No of course they can not stay out, they will just not get added extra time for the 'crime of wanting to escape'.

Absolutely loved that this morning, it was fun and interesting. Love ya both ❤️❤️

I really want to see you to watch "Dinner For One".

Yes we love lüften but then we close the windows again. Sitting in a breeze can make your neck stiffen and we say that it makes you sick when you are cold. And this breeze usually makes you cold in some places

Nice video! As German it's always fun to see your reactions to this stuff!

I'm English but when I was young (50 years ago I worked in the Black forest for the Nature conservancy. It s indeed very beautiful, forests valleys and rivers make it a very scenic place. The river Danube (Donau) rises there and I was lucky enough to have canoed down the first stretches from the source at Donaueschingen.

It's nice that you two are so interested in our beautiful Germany. I would recommend you to come to Bavaria (I'm maybe a little from Bavaria😏🤗) In any case, have fun. Many greetings for Germany.

12:58 we had Fanta Grapefruit in the 90s but Fanta orange and Fanta Mango are the most popular

The bridge at minute 33:40 is in Kromlau in the northeast of Saxony. This is the Rakotz Bridge, also called the Devil's Bridge. This is a wonderful place. There is a park all around. A few kilometers east, in Bad Muskau, there is also a very beautiful park owned by Prince Pückler.

The word "Deutsch" (older form "Teutsch") comes from the old high german "thiutisk" (germanic "þeudisk") and originally meant "part of the people" or just "people / folk". So "Deutschland" means "Land of the (germanic) people". Also here is another interesting video about Germany, german history and it's contributions to the world. It's a little bit dry, but still very interesting and informative. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AxKpoA23YWc.html

It was funny seeing The Hoff singing on the Berlin Wall. All other counties asked 'why him?' 😀

We say Bananenkuchen backen, which is baking a banana cake. You take a hairy bowl, insert the banana and play with the eggs. If all goes well a cake comes out of the oven. ^^

Hey, he was the KnightRider and he had conversations with his car, his "buddy". Germans fellt instantly in love with him and his friend. xD Every german needs a best buddy in the garage for serious men talk and discussions. 😂

Germany's population isn't shrinking for now, also thanks to it's migration. In fact, it has grown in recent years and now stands at approximately 84.7 million, according to the Federal Statistical Office.

Clanger here, chaps. Whittle (🇬🇧) had his first jet engine up and running before Von Ohain. Von Ohain had bigger financial backing courtesy of Heinkel.

I learned So many interesting and surprising facts about Germany . Like You said some of his comments were a bit off , but l enjoyed the education 👍

The Bavarian Purity Law, known as the “Reinheitsgebot” in German, is a historic regulation concerning the production of beer in Germany. It was first enacted in 1516 by Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria. The law states that only three ingredients can be used in the brewing of beer: water, barley, and hops1. The original text did not mention yeast, as a full understanding of its role in fermentation came later1. The purpose of this law was to ensure the quality of beer, prevent price competition with bakers for wheat and rye, and to conserve cereals for bread. Over time, it became a standard not just in Bavaria but throughout Germany, and it has influenced beer production and regulation around the world2. Today, the Reinheitsgebot is often cited as a mark of quality for German beers, and while modern regulations have evolved, the spirit of the law remains a symbol of brewing excellence. Don’t think they changed it

The population of Germany increased the last years to 84,5 Mio. In 2040 it should be 86,5 Mio. The largest Safari Park in Germany is the Serengeti Safari Resort in Hodenhagen.

Good morning, ladies. Missed your live show, so I'm catching up as always another great reaction from you two.😊

Yes, David Hasselhoff is very popular in Germany. When Germany got reunited he was singing his song "Looking for Freedom" and got into the Germans hearts. The naked thing in Germany is called FKK (FreiKörperKultur - FreeBodyCulture) and just normal, especically for people from East Germany. Would love to get the grape Fanta!!! We only can get the regular ones and sometimes the special editions. That's right. Anyone who breaks out of a prison or institution on their own is not directly punishable. There are therefore no criminal penalties after being caught again. About the beer, we have the "Reinheitsgebot" and the law stipulates that only water, malt, hops, and yeast may be used to brew beer in accordance with the Purity Law. Yes, you can get beer at McDonald's in Germany 👍 No.100; yes, that is a German word. We love compound words.

The Gutenberg-Bibel is in my Hometown Mainz (near Frankfurt)

You HAVE to check out "Dinner for One". Also nice is the Blackout comedy show from Michael Mittermeier and Kaya Yanar in english! Greets form Germany 🥰

Great video love learning new things with you keep up the great work .

Please do "Dinner for one". I´m shure you would love it.

I live near by the black forest and have been there last month, visiting a tree crown pathway. It's really beautiful there, but so is the rest of the world 🌎 ❤

Germans population is not declining but raising (almost 85 mio. at the moment - its after the US the second largest migration destination with all pros (good migrants) and cons (bad migrants)

16:24 Adi Dassler... his brother founded another sportswear company: Puma. The two head offices are less than 10 km apart, in the small German town of Herzogenaurach.

There is another fun fact about Angela Merkel. Due to her longstanding reign as chancellor especially younger pupils when firstly educated about democracy and our government are said to ask if males are even allowed to become chancellor. A friend of mine, early middle school teacher told that one at a BBQ. Don't know if that is embarrassing but I found it pretty funny. And in light of our newest addition to chancellory, I might put out the motion of removing the equality rule on that instance.

Dinner for one is a staple

10:26 oh yes he is loved, especially when you're born in the eighties and watch knight rider and Bay watch.

Very interesting learnt alot today. Well done girlies another great video ❤❤

I'm from the Schwarzwald And i watch all of your videos with my wife and son

I visited Berlin in 2014 and enjoyed the bier on sale and the 2 sizes available and the bar snacks( very very large pretzel)

It’s so funny he’s making jokes about the „adidas“ pronouncing from USA citizens but he’s pronouncing every single German word wrong 😂😂😂 I’m a German and I really had problems to understand what names he is saying 😂😂 You two make really nice videos 😊👍🏻

Hello fromm Lüneburg,Germany😊 Jam Donut is a very popular pastry in Germany and we call it " Berliner " Greetings to you.😊

Brilliant video already knew how beautiful Germany is having visited twice,did,nt know about safari parks ❤

You made Wednesday my favorite day of the week 😊

22:34 The reason people in Germany are so diligently following traffic rules are these harsh punishments such as revoking your driver's license, unlike American police who will just shoot you.

25:32 well, most courses are in German, so, it really helps to be fluent in the language in order to be *admitted*, but as far as I recall, German language proficiency does not factor into the fees you have to pay (no tuition fees, but membership in the student union / Studierendenschaft, and the Studentenwerk, some minor admin fees and MAYBE the student ticket - if the Studierendenschaft hasn’t adopted a version of the nationwide 49 Euro subscription ticket model)

A little background info on the different names: In the old ages they were a lot of different tribes active on the area that is now Germany. The neiboring countries simply used the name of the tribe (or the name they gave them) they had first contact with as the one for all. That was with the romans the Germans, some met the Saxons first, others had contact with the Friesen, Tyske, Alemannen, etc. The name Deutschland came first with King Barbarossa's declaration (at least I think it was him) "Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation" (holy roman empire of a german nation). He had a little dispute with the pope and used the name to tell him to shut up.

I live in Freiburg which is basically in the Black Forest and I love it, it’s so beautiful here especially in the Nummer (also because Freiburg is one of the most green and economic cities)

I wish you could react by watching... Diner for one.... I watch this every New year and laugh soooo much

The german town "Bocholt" has also an Adventskalender in a townhall. The windows are numbered 1 to 24

I live in the Black Forest, near Freiburg. It's a very nice City with a popular university

You should react to this is Germany or the History of Cologne cathedral a gotic mysterpice Love your Videos sorry If my english ist Bad Not my nativ languag Love you❤

Here in Nottingham we have Englands oldest Inn, built in 1189, Ye Olde Trip To Jerusalem is still a very popular pub to buy beer from!

When he said only the British correctly call Germany, Germany. I wouldn’t be insulted as he was actually insulting us ( as is the country is Deutschland, we’ve decided to call it Germany) but feel free to share the barb ith us. That subtle British humour…

No idea why YOU call it Chinese checkers, because we don't 😂

No bear at MCD in Germany at all. Still funny Video to watch

The funny or a bit annoying fact of the original video is that he blames Americans for the wrong pronounciation of Adidas and he himself pronounces every german city and almost every german word wrong here. Your reaction is cool and it is fun to watch the world learning about the country I grew up and live in. Most of these facts are so normal to me that I'm excited because others are excited about things....does it makes sense, I think you get the idea of what I was trying to say. :)

I lived the last 20 years at the north edge of the black forest. It is for sure really nice there.

Re German hyperinflation in 1923. In 1918 a loaf of bread cost one quarter of a Reichsmark; by 1922 this had increased to three Reichsmarks. In 1923 the market price for bread spiralled, reaching 700 Reichsmarks (January) 1200 (May) 100,000 (July) 2 million (September) 670 million (October) and then 80 billion Reichsmarks (November).

Der Teil über Hasselhoff war Sarkasmus. Kaum jemand spricht noch über ihn. Bei der Maueröffnung war nur der Song "I've been looking for freedom" ein Erfolg. Hasselhoff gehörte nur dazu.

I think only a handfull people here in germany love the siniging from Davild Hasseldoof!

here, from baden-baden black forest germany. best region in the world, no joke. nothing i see on the internet happens here irl. people are just normal here xD. nature is beautiful. no need for vacation somewhere else tbh (if u wanna have beach and sea, ok u need to go somewhere else). its quiet here. i like that. greez

kids raising is expensive, day care is shite, keeping a job and having kids is a terrible financial challenge

Im from Germany. Black Forewt 😊 like yout channel a lot 🙂

Hello Ladies, I know I’m responding rather late to this video but I wanted to suggest that you check out “Miniature Wunderland” in Hamburg also available in English. It will blow your mind! Love your videos about my home country ❤

As a child, I always thought David Hasselhoff was a German actor who had made it to the USA. Later I found out that he is American. But David Hasselhoff sounds so German.

I like your videos about Germany very much! You are doing a great job 🙂. Probably you will visit Germany sometimes. It would be funny to meet you both when you are visiting. Greets from Germany

wow 😮very good video. So much interesting info from beautiful Germany.😊🫶🏻

25:45 (ish) Currywurst sauce is a bit spicy, but not that much. Some companies introduced it as a food tradition, e.g. Volkswagen. My employer copied it (actually, not dictated from above, it was requested by my colleagues and also turned into a tradition to offer Currywurst on Friday in our canteen). Looking forward to lunch the day after tomorrow. 🙂

27:10 The "Formula" is stated in the Deutsches Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Order). It says that beer must only contain hops, (barley)malt, yeast and water to be called a German Bier.

Was ich zu diesem Video sagen kann, ist, dass es wunderbar und interessant anzusehen ist (what can i say about this video is its wonderful and interesting to watch)

27:10 They have not changed anything noteable. Actually there is a German decree called "Reinheitsgebot" (purity commandment) which clearly dictates which ingredients are allowed to be used to make beer. Those being water, barley, hops and eventually yeast. That's it. Anything more is not called beer anymore, but rather a beer mixture.

By the way: in addition to the Black Forest, there is also the "Spreewald", a forest area in the water, with canals where you can paddle in rowing boats and there are small inhabited places whose streets are made of water like Venice. Unfortunately, many regions are hardly covered by YT (see above), just as there is hardly any reporting on the North Frisian Islands in the North Sea or islands in the Baltic Sea.

I live in the southern Black Forest at the swiss boarder. If you got any questions ask.

superb video
