Immigrant is the word you're looking for. Ex-Pat is a meaningless term designed to make Americans think they're better than anyone else.

@@MrProthall I beg to differ - I only knew English ex-pats in Spain, and, above, it's me, and I'm not an immigrant from Cologne but an ex-pat in Bavaria! 🤣

So you live in the eye of the hurricane, so to speak - it is said to be very quiet there..-🥳😇

We need to see more 👀

The more the people drink (and you too) the easier it will be xD - for both parties. Hope you don't think too weird about the Niederrhein Region and Köln now 😂😂😂

We agree! Such a cutie!

Ich denke mal dass man alleine an der Musikauswahl erkennt wo Karneval besser gefeiert wird

Haha! Well, we hope Brant didn't disappoint :D

@@dweuromaxx not at all😅

Same here 😔 Bavaria is a whole different world

Many Germans would agree with you on that ;). Thanks for watching!

The north-south difference is greater, actually. It's much older. The east-west difference was just a temporary phenomenon that has left some traces, but nothing too deep. When Germany united in the 19th century, the 'German Question' was whether the first modern German national state would consist only of the Protestant north, all German-speaking areas plus the non-German-speaking parts of the Austrian Empire, or something in between. In the first case it would have been dominated by Prussia, in the second case a fierce conflict between Prussia and Austria would have been built in. Prussian Chancellor Bismarck solved the problem by manufacturing the war of 1870/71 with France, with a coalition consisting of all the German states except Austria. By proclaiming the German Empire consisting of all the members of the coalition (but not Austria) in the Hall of Mirrors of Versailles Castle after a quick and decisive victory, they bamboozled the population of the Catholic southern German states into accepting a Prussia- and Protestant-dominated state without Austria. (Things have changed since then. Germany lost a lot of northern territory to Poland in 1945, and today neither the north nor the south really dominates.)

@johaquila Thank you for the well written history. I appreciate your having taken the time to provide such a detailed post. Best wishes to you.

Entschuldigung angenommen.

Kölsch ist das einzig wahre ;) Aber jedem das seine

Schön, danke für euer Verständnis. 😉👍🥁🎵🎶♥️

Jein, ein Kölsch ist langweilig, aber dabei bleibt es selten. Die Bedienung ist verdammt fix und am Ende weißt du nicht mehr, wie viel du eigentlich getrunken hast. Da wird es dann langsam lustig. Komme aus Köln, lebe in Franken. Hier sitzt man mehr auf dem Trockenen wie alles andere, trotz der Größe des Kruges. 😅

@@votecthulhu9378 YESSSSS!!1! 🤯

This clip doesn't show the whole Cologne Carnival, just one single stage show. The real Carnival here in Cologne is on the streets for five days with a very big parade on Shrove Monday and many other little parades on Saturday, Sunday or Tuesday. This year the Shrove Monday parade took 8 hours. On the streets is the real madness. ;-)

@@Supermatsch Still, nothing can be compared to the Brazilian Carnival.

As Timon said, this isn't the full picture of Carnival. It's Brant training for a stage ;). However, we'd love to see him amidst the madness of carnival in Brazil! Maybe next year!

It's not a competion :)

Heeeeey, to Germans this IS madness! *LOL* (But seriously, street Karneval and this indoor Karneval are two VERY distinct different sports. ;) )

Mostly all of this is correct 😉 Around 2000 years ago, when the Romans founded a settlement in this area, which shortly developed into the Roman-colonial city known as “Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium”. Over a long time, this name monstrosity was shortened to „Cologne“ (English) and „Köln“ (German) or „Kölle“ (the local dialect in Cologne).

Regarding the name thing in general, Cities often have a different name in their own language than what they’re being called in other languages. Think about “Munich” and “München”, “Venice” and “Venezia”, “Rome” and “Roma” or “Moscow” and “Moskva”. Or an even more special case: the German city of “Aachen” is known as “Aix-la-Chapelle” in French.

Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium -> Colonia -> Coellen -> Cöllen -> Cölln and Cöln -> Köln

​​@@AndersHenke And "Regensburg" (Bavaria), called "Ratisbonne" in French, too

Anders explained it perfectly!

Let 's start a little war between the Catholics and the Protestants. Oh Bismarck

Not taking things serious can be a serious thing here!😁
