THIS GERMAN FESTIVAL IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FESTIVALS I’VE BEEN TO (HISTORICHES VOLKSFEST) 

Thanks for your kind words! We love it here!

@@TreyDaze I dunno what your plans for the upcoming week are, but in case you are interested in board games: There is the Essen SPIEL the biggest board game fare in the world next week (thursday to sunday). It's an event I am looking forward the whole year and publishers/fans from around the globe are coming there ... Really a great event in Germany :)

Thank you for all of the recommendations! I love a good renaissance festival!

@@TreyDaze @Ginster Great Summary regarding local fairs :). There are a lot of them throughout the country with different kind of vibes, even more specific ones like Beerfests if you are into Craftbeers and stuff like that. Also a freaking ton of music festivals in Germany and neighbor countries as well for all kinds of music where people just have a good time. Other than that i can recommend to keep your eyes open for more unique and local festivals which i bet you can also find a lot in southern parts of Germany (i mostly know the ones more specific to where i live but they really are great, from Fireworks competetions where different countries have unique showings to things like i don't even know how to describe so i'm just gonna link one example that comes to my mind which is called: "Kleines Fest im großen Garten" - i'm just linking some News article with Pictures to get a rough idea about that one. www.ndr.de/kultur/Kleines-Fest-im-Grossen-Garten-Grosse-Kleinkunst-in-Hannover,kleinesfest1072.html Other than that, Ginster provided a great Summary really, be sure to check out the Christmas Markets

@@TreyDaze I highly recommend the Mittelaltermarkt in Esslingen around Christmas time!! Haven't been there for a while since I moved town but loved it as a kid. Also easily reachable from your place with the S-Bahn. Greets from an ex-Stuttgarter✌️

War nicht das ende des mittelalters der beginn der Renaissance? Ich finde die Übersetzung sehr unpassend... medival würde sehr viel besser passen.

@@danielmatheis9600 Hat in dem Fall nichts mit Übersetzung oder historischer Einordnung zu tun- renaissance fair ist der übliche Begriff der in den Usa für solche Mittelaltermärkte (wenn auch unauthentisch) gebräuchlich ist.

Thanks a lot brother! I appreciate all your videos man! Hopefully we can meet up and connect one day! Maybe next time we’re in Munich! Cheers!

Phantastischer Lichter Weihnachtsmarkt in Dortmund is really worth a visit!

Rothenburg ob der Tauber has THE most picturesque christmas market, it's like Disney since the city (or rather village) hasn't been bombed out during WW2 and most historical buildings are still intact. Also it's like 1 1/2h, max 2h away from Stuttgart if you drive there, so I would highly recommend checking it out! (if you're not convinced, just google some photos- you won't want to miss it!)

Mittelalter Weihnachtsmarkt in Esslingen.

I can really recommand the christmas market at Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin Mitte, and especially the Lucia Christmas market located in the Prenzlauer Berg neighbourhood.. That one has a scandinavian theme and the wonderfully scenic backdrop of a former brewery, now called the Kulturbrauerei. Both are definitely worth a visit! And besides these, Berlin has a total of about 40 different Christmas Markets to chose from!

Nürnberg.

There are actually still a few farmers left in the warmest spots in Germany in Baden-Württemberg and Southern Palatinate who grow tobacco, though the majority has given up after the EU agricultural funding was cancelled for tobacco in 2010 (tobacco not being a food product). I guess most of those who still grow tobacco mostly do it out of tradition and as a gimmick for tourists, since due to both the high labor cost in Germany and the less then ideal climate even in those parts of Germany, German tobacco can't compete with tobacco from countries with a warmer climate.

Hahaha!!! That’s awesome!!! Glad I was able to provide a blast from the past!!!

Aaaaahhhh you’re right!!! How on Earth did I miss that???

I keep getting rained out. Gonna try and make it on Monday or sometime next week! Stay tuned!

That is completely untrue. In general it is allowed to film the police on duty. Privacy laws can apply like for every other person. That becomes an issue if you focus on a person and they are actually the subject of your recording. That does not apply though, if there is some reasonable interest on filming a police officer, e.g. if he is arresting someone and you want to document that. So a police officer on duty is actually less protected from being recorded than off duty. Off duty he is just the same as a regular citizen and his privacy has to be respected. On duty he is representing the state and his actions can be documented if there is some legitimate interest. Police officers might not like it sometimes, but they won't typically be annoyed by someone filming them driving by just out of curiosity. Public video recording is always a bit of a privacy issue in Germany, police officer or not. But in general, it is accepted.

looks like you had a good time. 👍
