Almost all German travel videos focus exclusivly on Bavaria and Berlin. Northern Germany is very rarely featured which is a shame. Who knew Germany had a rich tradition of seafood and was more than just 300 varities of sausage and bread. The scenery and weather reminded me of parts of the North American Atlantic coast.

@henningbartels6245 2 года назад

The North Sea Coast on Sylt Island is very similar to Long Island. Yet, Northern Germany is more than just touristy pictures of the coast. Millions of Germans live in this region their lifes without seeing the beach and lighthouses on a daily basis.

@kaph123 Год назад

My theory about this is, as most travel videos are from Americans, as follows: In the decades after WWII, the USA had their troops mainly in the south of Germany (and in Berlin). This shaped the picture of Germans as being "Bavaria-like" especially in the US and these connections lead to most American visiting mainly the south and getting to know all those places, but not so much parts from the north.

I love every "Meet the Germans", but this one was awesome, really. I love the style ("back to the fish!"). I'm thrilled to see the next chapter of the road trip. Also, I think every single topic merits its own capsule: environment, leisure activities, food. The tea (which usually comes about with some sort of ritual) was a nice discovery. My german teacher came from Hamburg. She used to tell us about that northern coastline. Greetings to Rachel and the crew.

@@dezafinado Yes, many times. One of my favorite restaurants, Friedhelm's, is there. Very good food! When my parents moved to the New Braunfels area (another haven of Tex-Deutsch) the person they bought their property from spoke "German." We tried, and failed, to have conversations (after I got out of the Army) in German but I had extreme difficulty decifering his dialect combined with his accent. Imagine Slim Pickens speaking German that contains a smatering of Spanish and English. Some years later I met a young woman from Germany who was in Texas studying Tex-Deutsch for her doctorate. I mentioned this person I knew to her and she started to have uncontrolable giggles. She had already met him and described this person in a way that was exactly the opposite of the person that I knew (shy and reserved to the point of awkwardness as apposed to the large, outgoing rancher that I knew him to be). I guess she was more imtimidating than I was.

@ThisIsBernd 2 года назад

I am a Northerner (Bremen-born but roots on the East Frisian island of Spiekeroog) and tend to be sceptical about how Germany or esp. ''our' Northern region is often being presented in travel shows. But, I must agree to the words of some other commentators. Its a very accurate and yes, .. a very debonair presentation of the North. Great job! :-) My grandma on the island used to have a tea/cream spoon like the one presented @7:30. Immediately, memories of the sound by the big pendulum clock on the living room wall are popping up. This island is still car-free today.

We lived in Southern Germany in early 70s for a year, and that included a week in Berlin. It was not till 2015 That we got to visit Lubeck, Hamburg, and Oldenburg, our 50th anniversary trek. We stayed with a friend in Oldenburg, and the father of our friend drove us to the north coast, where got to experience the Wattenmeer and Fischbrötchen. These was sehr gute Reporatage von Rachel. She forgot to mention Germany's most popular tourist destination in Hamburg, though, Das Minaturwunderland. We spent a whole evening there! And got a copy of the brothers' book signed by both of them a few years after our visit!

I'm from Bremen and I love Northern Germany. :) Visit the "Altes Land" when the apple trees are blooming or the Lüneburger Heide. Or take a hiking tour through the amazing wadden sea to an island like Neuwerk. But please do it with a guide when you do it for the first time and never heard of "Ebbe" and "Flut" - Nordsee ist Mordsee (North Sea is murdering sea). It can be very dangerous if you do this trip without any preparation or knowledge of the sea.

I understand that the derivation (and these things are of course never 'certain') of the Liverpudlian term 'Scouse' comes from Labskaus (via Lobscouse, a translation) and is a result of Hansa trade between Northern Germany and the Liverpool area!

@eastfrisianguy 2 года назад

Wow, I am thrilled! Perfect video, thanks for that! I was born in Papenburg and grew up near Leer and lived with my grandparents for several years as a child. I speak relatively fluent Low German (although many in my age around mid-30s are sadly not able to speak it properly anymore), drank a lot of tea in my youth (but we mostly stirred the tea) and I unfortunately traded that for coffee - but I have a complete frisian tea set with all the details in the cupboard. Meanwhile I live even closer to the North Sea, in Friesland near Wilhelmshaven. Just one mile away from the coast. My mother moved to southeast Bavaria over ten years ago. I like to visit her once a year, but it still takes me days before I can begin to understand the Bavarian dialect, and as much as I love the mountains - as soon as I hear a "Moin" again as a greeting on the train north of Hanover, my heart swells. I am a "Nordlicht" (northern light) through and through.

While Low German is a minority language nowadays because it was pushed aside centuries ago, it was one of the major sources of Old English as well. Considering the many English terms that have their way into High German in recent years, it’s also a late victory for this practical uncomplicated language.

@@oXSimonXo Wenn ich nur 'Moin' sage, antworten die meisten 'Moin Moin', also sage ich jetzt meistens 'Moin Moin' ... Sie können mich beleidigen, weil ich nur drei Jahre hier bin, aber ich lebe diese Stadt

There is a saying about the weather: If it isn't raining, it's just rained or it's going to rain or it will be raining. Apart from that, a great place. I feel at home in the north.

In Ostfriesland you learn that Moin derives from Moie dag and developed into what is know to be the regional greeting now. This also explains why people from Ostfriesland say that people from Hamburg talk to much, because of the moin moin, or in other words, moie dag, moie dag, which is redundant. But this is only what the people from Ostfriesland say....

The "Moin" or "Mojn" greeting is also very common in souhern Denmark.

Loved this video, spent my year abroad in 1993-1994 in Ostfriesland and love the north of Germany. Thank you for the happy memories, the Plattdeutsch and the tea! Great video, one that I will share with my students.

You can tell this was very well researched and planned. And very succinct 👌

Ganz ausgezeichnet, Frau Stewart! And I will add what there was not likely room for: Dieterich (how he spelled it) Buxtehude in Lübeck and the Beatles in Hamburg--terrific musical revolutionaries. But I wouldn't change a thing in your video--so polished.

Hervorragen gemacht Rachel. The German Frisian Islands and the north general have always had appeal to this American.

6:42 I was disappointed that, when it comes to something sweet, you didn't talk about the famous Lübeck Marzipan by Niederegger.

@RachelStewart04 2 года назад

Sad but true story: our filming schedule was so packed that all the marzipan shops were closed by the time we were in Lübeck 😭

@Lia-uf1ir 2 года назад

@@RachelStewart04 Oh no! :/ I'm sorry to hear that. Do you think that there might be another chance, perhaps with a video about the Hanse and Lübeck, its queen?

Lia: One of my many cousins in Germany, one who speaks and writes English very well, mails me a box of Luebeck Marzipan every year for Christmas. And I send him several tin cans of Maple Syrup from Canada. 80% or so of all Maple Syrup is produced in Quebec and Ontario. Interestingly, he writes to me in German, which I still read quite well, and I write to him on English, which is much easier for me, and my cousin can read very well.
