American reacts to Germany's Miniatur Wunderland 

The "strong girl" lifting the horse is Pippi Langstrumpf. She is basically one of the most famous characters of the children story "Pippi Langstrumpf" written by Astrid Lindgren, a VERY famous writer here. I even went to Astrid Lindgren Elementary School. It first was a book and then they made a bunch of movies, which I watched and loved so much as a kid. It's something almost every german knows. Basically, Pippi Langstrumpf is a nine-year-old overly confident girl who's lived alone in a huge house ever since her father left. She lived there with her horse, Kleiner Onkel (Little Uncle) and pet monkey, Herr Nielson (Mister Nielson). That's basically all the friends she has until one day the two neighbors kids come over and they become friends. It's really sweet and beautiful for kids because the way she lives is exactly the way every child dreams to live. She bakes cake every day, her horse lives in the house, she climbs around the stairs, has lots and lots of money to buy every kind of candy she wants and constantly invents weird things like flying beds or so. It's pretty old, it's literally the same age as my mom. The movies were made in 1969 so it's obviously a pretty different time period but it is made with a lot of love and if you find a video with english subtitles, maybe worth a reaction.

By now the U.S. section of the Wunderland probably has better railroad infrastructure than the actual United States.

Hey Ryan. Since this movie is older (11 years), the facts are no longer correct! On August 16, 2022, the builders have reached the 1,000,000 working hours. And, YES, everything you see is miniature!! There are now also new sections that have not yet been shown in the film. I have been there several times and am always amazed at what is done there!😯 Udo

And you just saw the old video! Here's our new one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R669l5CA1YA.html 😉 But we're glad you liked it! Come visit us some time 😊❤️

Miniature wonderland is located on several floors in several buildings connected by a bridge.. It's fantastic, even if you are not interested in trains. Everywhere something is happening and sometimes kids wouldn't understand what's going on there.. 😉

The Miniatur Wunderland is quite unique in the world. It really is overwhelming visiting for the first time. You need at least 3 hours to go through and look at everything and (as a person who has worked there myself) we usually reccommend that you go through and just look at the surface level of everything and then decide what you want to look at in detail or you'll quickly be out of time and concentration for looking at all the things. The sound effects in this video aren't real, but there ARE actually sound effects for a lot of things, such as the airport, the festival grounds/concerts, and for example animal noises in the zoo. When you work there it can get REALLY repetitive staying in one place to fix a broken train for example, while all the sounds keep playing depending on where you are, but you just get used to it at some point :D The MiWuLa has been voted germanys #1 tourist attraction for 5 years in a row now and if you ever come to germany I definitely recoommend a visit! Fun Fact: While the cars, planes and trains are running on an automated software and are just monitored by people, they still haven't found a way to fully automate the ships on the real water in scandinavia, so an employee sits in a corner and remote controls the ships all day. It's a great job for students who are using the time to study or listen to audio books while driving the boats.

The horse lifting girl is from a Swedish story for kids that is very popular here. Pippi is the strongest girl, she can lift her horse. 😊

There's not a photo that captures the entire wonderland. That's not possible 'cause the Miniature Wonderland is to large. It's located in several rooms, on different levels, in two different buildings (of Hamburg's famous old warehouse district) which are connected by a bridge! By the way, the attraction 'The Hamburg Dungeons' are right next to the Wonderland. It shows the varied and dark history of Hamburg in an entertaining and creepy way. In this case: Thx for your Reaction to this wonderful Miniature Wonderland. ;)

This is one of the wonders of the world!! I was there allready 19 times, if you are in Hamburg you have to visit it! At the moment they are building Monaco and the houses and so on allready dune, but they don't wanna open it without having in Monaco a Formula 1 Race there, so they are working on it 8 years now and I think they are on a good way to open it, I think in 2 or 3 years. The people there are mad, but in a positiv way!

Here are some more actual facts about the Miniatur Wunderland since the video is, as mentioned, 11 years old: They rented a 2nd building behind the first warehouse and connected it with a bridge, so today the Miniatur Wunderland has 10.000 m² rental area and the total size of the model area is 1.545 m² with already more than 1 million working hours and 10 finished Areas. Over 16km of tracks with 3517 Railroad switches,1120 locomotives, more than 10450 wagons, the longest model train is 14,51m (47,6 feet). 4340 houses, more than 497000 LEDs, 289000 figures and 137000 trees, 52 airplanes and over 10250 model cars. Today, more than 300 employees work in all areas of Miniatur Wunderland and the costs already amount to 37.2 million euros. The whole facility is controlled by 53 computers.

Some years ago the Miniatur Wunderland produced a good video which explains the "Rettungsgasse" (rescue lane) rule on German highways. This video is available on RU-vid with subtitles available in several languages, of course including English. Maybe you would like to do a reaction video to it? This video is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1D4lsJnznqk.html

The Miniatur Wunderland is awesome. This January they are doing something they do every january, when you dont have the means to go there, you can still go and just say to the cashier that you dont have the money to pay and they will still let you in, you can even pass them a paper saying that in case you are too embarassed

Pipi Langstrumpf (Longstocking) is a beloved fictional character invented by Swedish author Astrid Lindgren. Pipi is the strongest girl/person ever and lifts her horse Little Uncle. She lives in a villa by herself with her horse and her monkey Mr Nilsson. Oh, she owns a suitcase full of gold…

I was in Germany last summer and visited Miniatur Wunderland with my parents and it really is an amazing experience, the attention to detail is just crazy! It even spans several floors and sections and you can easily spend hours in there just marvelling at the fascinating minuature landscapes, cars boats, trains and planes that move around as if they were the real thing. They even have a locker there where you can charge your cellphone if the battery runs out, which I found to be a very cool feature. I definitely recommend paying Miniatur Wunderland a visit, it's definitely one of the coolest things that you'll remember for a long time! :)

It got so big over the years, that one day of visit isn't enough anymore. On my next trip back home to Hamburg i'm planning with at least two full days of going there. So much love to detail.

You should probably look for a more modern video, they also expanded over one of the canals in Hamburg's old warehouse district (Speicherstadt) with a bridge recently to add Patagonia. Yes, South America. Made in South America by locals and then shipped to Hamburg. They are big and always expanding

They also won a world record. During the Covid lockdown no visitors were allowed into any museum, so they built tracks for a train in the area where else the visitors walk. At the side of the tracks they put glasses filled with water which formed tunes when the train came by. They show pretty much of the different sections in miniature wonderland in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aBNHmUT3GPg.html

This video is already old. But, it still is impressive. They leased other rooms across the canal, built a bridge with trains crossing from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere. Currently they are in the, more or less, final stages to create South-America. And: No, it can not be photographed in one picture...it is too large, covering several rooms over three floors of two warehouse buildings separated by a canal (called "Fleet" in Hamburg). You need at least two, three days to see and comprehend it all.

If you want an overview of the whole thing I can recommend you the Miniatur Wunderland RU-vid channel. They got an 1 hour drive through basically the whole thing in 360° with a camera mounted on the train. I watched it more than once because you can easily spot new things when changing the perspective and looking around in the little world. Very entertaining and also quite relaxing.

Miniaturwunderland is great. They even placed Details where visitors can not see. Thus you can see stuff that was not even planned to be seen in the behind the scenes tour.

You are such a nice guy. You can name all Vegas Hotels but you don’t know Pipi Longstocking. When your kid is a bit older you should definitely have a look at all Astrid Lindgrens books with him or her. ☺️

Hamburg is anyway the most beautiful city in Germany. Its allways worth visiting ❤

You have seen so much and were so fascinated by many german sights, time has come you need to come over here and spend a loooong holiday in Germany!

I was there a couple of times when I was younger... It's incredible. So many little stories are hidden there. Love it.

Best part: there are also hidden jokes like the Milka Cow hidden within the realism

6:05 it's taken from a kids story called :pipi langstrumpf written by astrid lindgren, very famous in europe

These two brothers that made the MiwuLa become true used to be owners and DJs of a wellknown Diskotheke named "Voila" back in the 80ies and than decided to work on their dream...which finally started in 2001 orsome. Great guys.....

I'm not sure if they actually are subtitles available, but the other videos on that channel are super interesting. And one of their currently running projects is Monaco, including the formula one race. That will be so cool.

I‘m from Hamburg. I‘ve visit the „Miniatur Wunderland“ a lot. I definitely recommend to go there.

Now should be the best time to buy and trade on Bitcoin because currently the profits are good and going up to a standard rate in less than no time

the Miniatur Wunderland goes over multiple stories and also goes over the river into the next building.

I was there only once in 2012. And I didn’t see everything cause it was just too big to get it all in one day - even back then. I’m glad it survived the pandemic. It would’ve been a big loss for us all.

A few years ago, there was a coorparation between Google and Miniatur Wunderland. So parts of the Wunderland can be viewed on Google Street View. Just search for Wunderland street view.

Pippi Langstrumpf is lifted the horse (kleiner Unkel)

6:00 That's Pippi Longstocking, a fable character from Astrid Lindgren's brilliant, creative mind. She has a pet monkey and horse and owns her own house she inherited from her seafaring pirate father and she is super strong!

It's huge. They rented out floors in one of the buildings and when they went out of space they rented space in the building next to it and built a bridge between the buildings. So there's no way to fit everything in one picture.

Greetings from Hamburg - yes we love our Wonderland

Hello and many greetings from Germany. I live in Hamburg and only 15 minutes away from Miniatur Wunderland and have been there about 10 times. It's really worth a visit because you always discover something new, even after so many visits. It's super impressive. Even America is represented there with Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon and NASA. And the cruise ship that can be seen there really exists. This is the AIDAblu from the German shipping company AIDA Cruises. In addition, there are the largest miniature mountains in the world, the largest miniature airport in the world and much more. It's really super beautiful and I can really recommend it to anyone visiting Germany to go there. Many greetings from Germany.

This video is over ten years old... they are bigger and better nowadays... morger landscapes, more railways, more trains, more visitors... The Miniatur Wonerland ist over 20 years old now...

The newest attraction, they are still working on currently I think, is being part of the miniature world by VR. They mapped all the scenery using multiple POV pictures and merge it with cameras fitted into the trains and ships etc. to have the current visitors on your VR screen while you're traveling within this tiny world. The Miniature Wonderland does actually have more visitors per year than New Swanstein.

During the lockdown they set a new world record for the longest piece of classical music played with trains and drinking glasses. It‘s really cool and you can sort of see the whole Miniaturwunderland in the video

Been there several times, you basically need a week to somehow capture it. Also, it's spread across multiple floors so you can't take a photo of everything at once

Exciting 😊 our son will go there with bis grandparents 😊 If you come to Germany one day, Hamburg is definitely worth a visit. 👍🏽😊☮️

Just a little bit disappointed that you don't know Pippi Langstrumpf.

Coming from Scandinavia we had a three day stay in Hamburg on our way traveling south Europe. Of course we visited the Miniatur Wunderland and I was immediately in awe. I guess, like me the Wunderland turned 11 back then. Ryan's reaction made me wonder, how they leveled up this project till today. I'm inspired traveling all the 7500 km back to Europe, just to see it. So, thanks for the inspiration.

You don't know Pippi 😭? Poor American kids. We love Pippi here in Europe 💝

they teamed up with google earth and made the entire thing walkable in google street view. I recommend checking it out!

The video you watched is actually absolutely not up to date. Now it's 16km of tracks instead of 13km. And now there is also Italy, Venice, France and Rio de Janeiro. Today (19.01.23) I visited the Miniature Wonderland. And it's always incredible, it doesn't matter how often I'm there. Here are some videos of Italy, the airport and South America: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CQjC5KrC-tk.html (Italy) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Qz4NcTnQedo.html (Airport) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yi6co_r1PfU.html (South America)

One of my favorites. I work just around the corner and some years ago, we even had our company`s Christmas party in the premises. They opened for us after the public was gone and we had the whole area just for ourselves. It is amazing every time I visit.

For me living in Hamburg, the MiWULA was one of the favourite Things to do. I Just recommend to buy a Ticket in Advance, the queues can be incredible long…

9:13 the reaction is just priceless. From "I'm having fun" to "wait is this..." to "I am appalled they included this" in less than 5 seconds

why are you wondering that we have a little america in hamburg, you have a lot of hamburgers in the us :D

Fun fact: The miniature wonderland Schloss Neuschwanstein (the fancy castle noone can shut up about) is visited more often than the real one.

Don’t you know Pippi Longstocking in the US? 😉

I love the MiWuLa. My Dad used to take me there and you can go on tours that take you behind the scenes and on those you will see a lot of Easter Eggs that would not be visible for normal visitors. And yeah... a lot of them are sexual :D Don't judge our humor!

Been there in 2014, we had to register for a scheduled entry as there's only a limited amount of visitors allowed in the MiWuLa at once (luckily there's a somewhat macabre museum about medieval/renaissance Hamburg right next to it so we could beat some time there and still had a ton of fun). The place is massive and filled to the brim with countless details, you can probably visit the place a dozen times and still not even scratch the surface. ^^

Check out "This is Germany" video

The only place in which trains travel on time in germany

yep, its real.... Take a look to "Gerries Tagebuch" .... There you can take a look backstage, and see the current developments.... Formila 1 Track Monacco for example.... or the build process of the Airport "Knuffingen". Yes the most Videos are in german language... but .... its impressive to view the build process at all... ;) I realy recommend it to watch ^^

Yeah...it IS real!! And YES...they even got trucks and busses and even fireworkers running into action and NO they can´t get it on one picture because it became too BIG to even try...filling (on what I know) two complete floors of a building adding up...;) I, as a german, came in there first time allmost yawning..."Yeahyay...another miniature railroad track...let´s just rush through I´m hungry"...on that first try I stepped out about 2hrs later not hungry any more but filled with pictures I´ll never forget in my lifetime...and that was BEFORE they even decide to put Swizerland or Swerige ect in... ...nowadays...I visited 5 times in the yrs and will do another 2 or 3 visits before I´m about to die because what that hillarious nerds in that Wunderland team put into LIFE minature-scaled is WAY OVER anything you can describe...you MUST witness it to believe!! Venice is up...Toscana is up...latest tries were on the F1-race in Monaco...which seemed to run smoothly last time I saw it in test run...about 2 months ago... ...Hamburg in germany is worth a visit ONLY for that thing there :D

6:02 English: 'Pippi Longstocking', in German 'Pippi Langstrumpf'. Swedish Writer 'Astrid Lindgren' Invinted Them. The girl with the two red pigtails has incredible powers, lives alone without parents and is rebellious, and takes life easy. Your stories are popular in Germany. Plays in the Films and Series 'Inger Nilsson' the Pippi.

The Girl with the Horse, is very popular in Germany. Her Name is Pippi Langstrumpf(Pippi Longstocking in englisch). She is from a Children-Book that is wrote by Astrid Lindgren. Her Books were translated in 77 Languages and have sold 66 million times.^^

Oh, I was there in my last vacation. Not only the Miniature Wonderland, but there is a VR-Experience by YULLBE (from Germany's theme park Europa-Park).

After they finished said models of Italy and (Southern) France - including Rome, Venice, Lake Como, an erupting Mount Vesuvius, the ruins of Pompeji and Monaco with its famous Formula-1 race - they ran out of space for future projects. That's because there were no other storeys available in the building as they share it with the Hamburg Dungeon - a horror house including a log ride and a 26 ft free fall tower. So they bought a storey in the neighbouring building in the next street and connected it with a walkway across the canal. There they currently install a 2000+ sqft model of South America that was built by a family in Argentina. It includes Rio de Janeiro and landscapes from the Andes, Patagonia, the rainforest and even Antarctica. And they already plan to make a model of Latin America showing Panama and Mexico. I've been there at least four times, first time in 2003 or so and last time two years ago, and it's amazing to see this small world grow. This Sunday I will go there again with my daughter and I'm so looking forward to see all the new stuff. By the way, three weeks in January people who can't afford the entrance fee (up to 20 Euros) can get in for free.

you should react to the hamburg dungeons it located right next to miniatur wunderland. I went there in december with my class in a field trip. it tells the storry of hamburg and its really exiting. it would be great if you would react to it.

the Idea is from two Brothers named "Frederik and Gerrit Braun", The Story of Creating the Miniatur Wonderland is very Crazy ;) the two brothers used to run a nightclub with a friend. They also had a partner who (as far as I know is still with them). They wanted out of the nightlife and while on vacation in Switzerland, Fredderik Braun had the idea of building the largest miniature railway in the world. His twin brother Gerrit is the tinkerer and is more responsible for the technical part. I mean, there are now almost 300 people in Miniature Wonderland, busy with building, controlling and guiding through the miniature wonderland.

I was there 4 years ago. It is so freaking HHHHHUUUUUUGGGGGEEEEE!!! And the details are mind blowing! 8 hours visiting and yet not see all of it. And today its even bigger. PS: non of the pictures are fake!

If you liked that video you should REALLY check out their channel! They are constantly comming up with new amazing ideas.

You checkt a video from 2011. Nooow the MiWuLa is huge. In 2 buidilngs, with a bridge connection over a creek. 😬

Hey i´m from Germany. i was in the Wonderland 4-5 Times and didn´t see any details. You need Multiple Day´s to see everything. It is so freacking awesome you need to visit it!!!

this video is quite old, I suggest you also watch newer ones since they added a lot of things. The one millionth working hour was logged last year (2022)

Welcome to the world of subtle German humour... Miniatur Wunderland extends over 4 or 5 floors and several buildings. It is definitely worth seeing!

This is an older video. In the meantime they bought a new building on the other side and build a bridge (Where also trains ride from one to the other side). South america is now finished. They are working now on Patagonia. The formula 1 in Monaco will still need quite of time because of the programming difficulty. The "Miniatur Wunderland" has an own youtube channel with a lots of videos how théy build the airport or south america and how challenging the formula 1 is. With english subtitles of course.

6:00 The girl lifting the horse is called "Pipi Langstrumpf". It was a childrens show back in the late 70s and 80s based on the books of Astrid Lindgren.

1. There is no full picture of it all becaus it spread into multible rooms. 2. When I was there I took at least 15 naughty pictures and there is much more. 2. It was so detailed it took me 4-5 hours to go thrugh half of it. 4. It´s breathteaking

In this Moment i saw a film about the Miniaturland in Hamburg If it is interesting for you. the Airport of the Muniaturland in Hamburg the construktion had kost 4 Million Euros.

Ryan, Just click one the Channel, Check out 2 or 3 more videos and get your mind blown away 😁 that video is so old, it's like kindergarten compared to high school

It's really worth a visit. Girl lifting horse = Pippi Langstrumpf or in english Pippi Longstocking

its a work in progress always growing and ofcous with Soundefects and even smellefects like chokletfactory 😉

Haha you maybe want to look for Drachenfest LARP to get some different culture vibes :D.

That video is 12 Years old, so much has become bigger since then :)

Amazing place to visit, I've been there once and I was speechless watching how much effort they spend on making it!

Greetings from Germany Hamburg, its much better seeing it for real, you can spend a lot of hours there and enjoy every Minute 🙃 i really like going there with my grandson.

Those miniature cars follow magnetic induction coils beneath the surface and are driven by tiny Electric motors and batteries. When the charge is low, they automatically drive to a cableless recharging station….

5:39 The one just saying „ab nach hause“ which is translated to something like „the way home“ LMAO 🤣

Yay you reacted to it :3 Was there and loved it! Edit: The video is outdated, it's so much larger now, they expanded to the neighboring warehouse across the river via a bridge for more room to build. Oh and the trains drive over that bridge too ^^

I visited the Miniaturwunderland a few times. It's really cool and interesting. However, there is a lot to see. It's kind of sad that you don't have the time to appreciate every little detail. But when you visit the next time, you can see new details! Also, there are some small events as well. They created an "active" volcano, which is really cool.

das war gute Unterhaltung Uwe danke ist ein guter Vorschlag gewesen.

They made videos on the construction of it. Dont know if they are available in english, but if they are, i would recommend them

The Wunderland was enlarged. A metal bridge is connecting the older part and the new one. I was there in February 2022. If you visit Hamburg a stop in Wunderland is obligatory. You can spend a whole day with your family there, if you want. Fast food meals are available at the snack bar. The design is unique there. You have the feeling of sitting in a train wagon. Don't forget to check in.

Hallo ich wollte mal sagen das ich die Videos als deutscher echt cool finde und es finde es immer sehr schön zu sehen wenn Amerikaner auf Videos von Deutschland reagieren Weiter so Grüße aus Deutschland

I visit this place once but did you know The recreation of the world there is based on Google Maps

If you ever travel to Germany, please visit it... you will never forget it. Well, some stories are made, so adults see and understand them while a child just will brush over it... Fun for young and old. ☺️

It’s actually multiple rooms with different themes, so not just one big installation

As a kid I was there for many times and it took me over 7 hours to see the hole wonderland! It is huge!

It's not only the most visited place in Hamburg, it's the most visited in Germany. I've been there 7 times

It is real.I've been there with my little sons in 2019.The complex was so big that we were there for 6 hours. We didn't see everything.In the meantime, the complex has been expanded over other buildings. We will definitely go there again.if you visit hamburg, you should take the time to visit this "wonderful world".Greetings from Berlin.

And they expanded to a building on the oposite side of the river flowing by behind the building through a bridge

reacting on a 11 year old video :D you should def find a newer version - because it hast grown a lot in the past years

I laugh my head off at the American prudence. He even turns away when it comes to models. hahahahahaha
