My grandfather came to the U.S. in the 1890's. His home village was Maasholm which was a fishing village located close to the Baltic. I have distant cousins who reside there.
By the way.. I live near Büsum and i need 5 minutes to the northsea. But i need only 60 minutes to the Balticsea.... We are the area between the oceans!!! For me are not the oceans the best thing. I love our seagulls. Sometimes you have some seagulls in your backjard - i love it 😁
Ich wohne in Kiel, einmal, als wir am Hauptbahnhof an der Bushaltestelle gewartet haben, wurde einem Freund auf den Kopf gekackt :D War ganz perfekt oben in der Mitte, war schon irgendwie lustig
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much! And please keep up the great job! Subscribed!!
Hallo from Oregon USA, my Mother's (Bock, Kramer) Grandparents und my Father's Mother (Rennau) Grandparents immigrated from this Region of Germany a very long time ago.
u can specify if someone insists, as holsteiner or schleswiger or getting more precise. in my opinion it is laborious to call them schleswig-Holsteiner.
What you say here would be the adjective, such as "typisch schleswig-holsteinischer Winter" We write adjectives with a small and nouns with capital letters to avoid misunderstandings.
@@MitcheltonDan No .-. im neither a holsteiner, nor a schleswiger, Schleswig is a city and Holstein is the region below the Eider, so just live with the 5 syllables or perish.
@@chadlive6262 That is not the full story. Schleswig is also the region north of the Eider. To be more specific the region is called Südschleswig. Nordschleswig is located in Denmark.
My grandmother was born on Fehmarn Island and my father's family is from the area between Fehmarn and Lubeck. I would plan a trip to N Germany but the pandemic has interfered with planning one. I would like to fly to Hamburg and rent a car to travel. I'm a bit unsure of driving in Germany since everything would be unfamiliar. I've watched videos and looked at maps. Mein Deutsch ist schlect so das ist eine Sorge fur mich. Would it be better to find a tour that handles lodging and travel?
Most people can communicate with you in English, so don't be afraid of language barriers. Car driving is a bit different, but if you are from a country with right lane traffic that should not be a big problem. But you can easily take public transportation, it's not that hard to use. But if you want to explore the countryside, renting a car is probably the best option. Fehmarn is a nice island, definitely worth a visit, and Lübeck is probably the most beautiful city in northern Germany.
Slesvig-Holsten was Danish for more than a 1000 years - however Denmark failed to understand how important the demography in a region is for the loyalty. If the government had encouraged lots of Danes to move to the southern part of Slesvig and Holsten, things might have looked a lot different. The regions have only been german for app. 160 years.
Schleswig was Danish, Holstein was not, except for the short years when King Valdemar reigned over an area that went much further south. But he was beaten at the battle of Bornhöved in the 13th century. And then there were the unhappy years when Napoleon had been Denmark's ally and gave Holstein to the Danes. But that ended in the catastrophe of 1813 and Denmark had to pay for that alliance, had to give Norway to Sweden. Your "if" with moving people sounds of ethnic cleansing. We are happy now with the way things have developed. Both nations accept their mutual national and ethnic minorities, languages, cultures. The border is the result of a plebiscite.
Cool. More displacements, forced assimilation and Genocide. Can't ever have enough of those... Something tells me you aren't born Danish or just really uneducated on anything history-related except for where our ancestors have drawn imaginary lines on inaccurate maps...
1. Only the Duchy of Schleswig Was, but the wars of 1848 and 1864 settled that. 2. Only a racist like you lives in the past, i am from Husum and visited Denmark more then once (only 40km ) and most Danes are hygge. You are olain and simple a dick
No it does not and for some reason Schleswig is the safest place on earth when it come to climate change The rest of Germany might flood or burn but Schleswig somehow s ok
Bullshit, as a german with a part of danish heritage living here I'll say its belongs to both. We schleswig-holsteinians relate more to denmark than germany but are still a weird mixture of both. So why the hassle?
@@haisheauspforte1632 I get you, I meant that we are culturally more similar to danes, baltic or dutch people than to bavarians for example. I only speak a bit of danish aswell. I'm mainly german but feel more scandi than mainland european.
