LATVIA for sure is a part of Europe!!! Your history is connected with german history, there is no way to deny it. Thank you for your interesting and intelligent reaction❣
9:50 this is Lady Bavaria, the patron of Bavaria. Standing on a small hill she overviews the Theresienwiese (Therese`s meadow) where Oktoberfest is celebrated.
Friends = Freunde, Friend = Freund. We have over 26,000 Castles and palaces and ruines. But France have over 40,000. Oh that was Cologne Dom/Cathedrale. Oh By the way, in the subtitles of the video you find the names of the regions, cities and some important points (statues, etc.) 3:15 That is the Berliner Cathedrale in the museums island. 5:20 That is Bremen and his Bremer Cathedral. 7:23 The Zwinger is a royal orangery, festival and collection building in Dresden, named after an earlier part of the fortress. It was built by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and Balthasar Permoser for Augustus the Strong between 1711 and 1728. 8:20 Yes, there are Christians (ca. 23%) and Catholics (25%) in Germany. Personally, I'm an atheist, but I was raised a Christian Protestant. 9:25 No that is the Munich Town Hall. 9:57 that is the angel of peace statue (1896). 10:13 that is Frederick I, called Barbarossa, from the noble House of Staufen, was Duke of Swabia from 1147 to 1152, King of the Romans from 1152 to 1190 and Holy Roman Emperor from 1155 to 1190. Barbarossa's election was the result of a compromise between several princes. 11:10 no that is Frankfurt (The Skyline of the financial Hub of different Companies and Banks) 12:31 That is a equestrian statue by King Ernst August from Kingdom of Hannover in the front of the main trainstation. 15:30 Yes, you're right. Many of the noble families that still exist today are still related to each other to some extent. I'm no longer quite sure, but it's based on Queen Victoria's marriage initiative. She had many children with her German husband Albert and brought almost every child into another noble house in order to gain influence. But also because of the many German noble houses (several hundred) and noble families, many married into other houses. 16:10 I couldn't find out exactly what it is. In my opinion, it can only be the national colours of Bavaria. You may be right. There is another flag, but I can't see whether it is one or more colours. It could be the flag of the house.
hey wow you really keep the videos coming man 😁 (I love it. so nice to see someone from Latvia taking such an interest). By the way the big city with the skyscrapers in the video and the following images is not Berlin but my hometown Frankfurt am Main (careful we have actually 2 Frankfurts - I´m in the big one in the middle and the other smaller one - Frankfurt an der Oder - is located in Brandenburg) Hope you´ll come to visit one day... hit me up I´ll show you around and we´ll have tea 🙃- bring a camera! 🙃 🏰✨🎥
Hey i just saw a few of your video s, very nice. I was myself 2 times in latvia when i was in the german military, very nice nature and landscape and the Latvian people are very friendly! I will come back one day to the nice Baltic shores of Latvia 🇩🇪🤝🇱🇻
6:45 This is not Austria, but Mainz and the flags are hanging on a church and have something to do with the church. I just can't remember exactly what they mean! I think it has something to do with the public holidays (Feiertagen). But it could also have something to do with the national color of Mainz (red and white). BTW: If you simply switch on the subtitles for the video, the city names will also be displayed! 10:58 Almost every major city in Germany has trams as a means of public transportation.
9:20 this is the new town hall in Munich. People often think that it is a church because of the clock tower. It is famous for the "Glockenspiel" with figurines dancing and acting.
catholic and protestant are about the same amount in Germany. Maybe a few percent more catholics. You could say in general that the south is more catholic and the north is more protestant. The east is mostly atheist now but thats only because of the Socialist DDR. Religion was illegal in the eastern block.
Actually, there are more 25.000 castles in Germany. The reason why castles and churches show similar architectual elements across Europe is...fashion and competition with other buildings at the time of construction, royal and noble house family ties (the British royal family roots, the Rusdian, Austrian ones etc are German) and most importantly the teams of architects and craftsmen were traveling across Europe. Many French castles, cathedrals etc. Were built by Germans, who were partially trained in Italy. Till today, it is a tradition for craftmen trainee to travel for 1 to 2 years. Many old buildings were destroyed and damaged in WWII. They were rebuild with original material.
1:46 Cologne Cathedral, construction was halted for over 600 years, not 300 years 2:56 yes, the Berlin Cathedral looks similar to St. Isaac's Cathedral, both are also around 100 m high. 8:07 The number of church members in Germany in 2023: 47.45%, about half Catholics and Protestants. 5.5 million Muslims live in Germany. Three million of them have German citizenship. Germany has 83.5 million inhabitants. 9:19 no, that is the town hall in Munich. 10:59 ... 60 German cities have trams 11:08-11:45 that's all Frankfurt 12:03 the Saar loop (Saar river) 13:48 Aachen Cathedral, Charlemagne's favorite residence 13:55 Germany's only fjord 14:05 Germany had colonies in Africa, Oceania, the Pacific and China... and somehow also a state in South America that we called Little Venice (Klein Venedig) and is now known as Venezuela 14:33-14:41 Former capital of West Germany, Bonn 15:27 Catherine the Great (Tsarina of Russia) was German 17:11 Wartburg where the Bible was translated into German which led to the division of the Christian denominations 17:49 Eltz Castle, where the noble Eltz family still lives today 19:29 Elmau Castle, where the G7 summit has already taken place twice By the way, I have been in Riga, also in Tallinn and Vilnius, and in St Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm, Gdansk..pretty much all major cities in your region of Europe (except Minsk and Kaliningrad)
@@thebestman92-rq5xc Yes, I came by ferry from Sweden across the Daugava. I explored Riga - the old town on foot, saw the Bremen Town Musicians monument, the House of the Blackheads (Schwarzhäupterhaus), the cathedral, later went to the National Library, was at the TV tower (the highest tower in the EU, the tower is 0.5 m higher than the one in Berlin ;-), the many Art Nouveau buildings, the Freedom Monument, the wooden houses quarter, Riga Castle and so on... from Riga I flew to Copenhagen and was able to see Riga and the coast from above.. I liked it a lot
Die Bauarbeiten am Kölner Dom ruhten etwa von 1530 bis 1840, also für etwas mehr als 300 Jahre. Auslöser war die Reformation, das damit einhergehende Versiegen der Spenden, später die vielen Kriege, dann die Entfremdung vom alten gotischen Baustil. Erst im 19.Jhdt. konnten sich immer mehr Menschen für die Fertigstellung des Doms begeistern, unter anderem auch die preußischen Hohenzollern, die tatkräftig dazu beitrugen, dass der Dom "fertiggestellt" wurde.
@@thebestman92-rq5xc the castle itself is Festung Marienberg in Würzburg, Lower Franconia, which is part of nowadays Bavaria. So yes. Bavarian Colors Flag
As far as Latvia is concerned, you could say that bringing Riga back into the EU is kind of a modern reconnection of the Hanseatic League ;-) Well, ok. It's a stretch. But the historic connection is there with Riga's Hanseatic connection. And before WW2 Germany had a common border with Lithuania. So the Baltic states were right next door.
The "Austrian Flags" you mentioned, aren't. You are not shown Austria here as you suggested. ;-) Some local (State, County, City) flags coincidentally look similar or even the same as other flags. Heck, even Countries like Poland, Monaco and Indionesia have same/similar flags. 😄 You are quite right, European Countries are very influenced by each other. North German Architecture looks similar to Skandinavian, Dutch, Baltic - Southern Germany more like Austria, Austria similar to Roman Style Houses, Eastern France more German (it kinda was, E.L. is a tricky territory), and so on...
You always have nice reactions. I like that. I like watching them. What I don't understand is how you bring up World War I and the colonial period when you're watching a sailing regatta. I don't see any connection. Maybe it would have been better to let the pictures sink in more than to talk nonstop.
You asked if the german architercture influenced the World ...... yes besides the one other crime, the bigest crime to the World by Germans was neutralizing the architectural destinctions of other cultures by speading the Bauhaus movement.
