2:24 Burg Hohenzollern Rebuilt on the ruins of the castle (the ancestral home of the House of Hohenzollern). 1852-1867. Only the St. Michael Chapelle is a remainder from older times. Construction of Schloss Neuschwanstein started in 1869. Wasn't finished when Ludwig II died 1887. The project was halted and only essential parts were finally completed. The few remains of the two small medieval castles there (Hinterhohenschwangau and Vorderhohenschwangau) had to go. The castle is modelled after the Wartburg castle. Plus a lot of King Ludwig II's fantasies. Quite many castle were rebuild in the 19th century. More or less accurate to their predecessors. Castle Romanticism. Castle Romanticism is however considerably older. in 1577 the wealthy Fugger merchant family built a "hunting lodge" in the style of a medieval castle from the Staufer dynasty times (~ 1100) on the ruins of Niederalfingen castle (which was from those times). Also this was already an idealisation. Like: a castle needs a draw bridge. The old castle didn't had one. And at the location it was finally built it had not really any defensive function. But in 1577 castles were anyway obsolete in military terms. Some were however converted to small fortresses with canons.

Schloss (Schloss always indicates a "palace" in that it was build or refurbished as a residence and doesn't serve a defensive function) Neuschwanstein is relatively new and sometime from the 19th century (so it already had running water and electricity). If you want to see a real medieval Burg (castle) I'd recommend Burg Eltz. Contrary to Spain which after the reconquista didn't face a lot of direct invasions and warfare, we Germans always had vulnerable borders, so there are thousands of castles and ruins in our border regions, especially in mine which is close to France. E.g. my town (16k inhabitants) has a knightly castle ruin on a dormant volcano overlooking our area, a town wall and a town castle (in which nowadays my old elementary school is housed). On average we were at war with France every 20 years in the last 500 years (plus all the internal wars, like the entire 17th century), so every town and most villages needed a place to retreat to when the grands of Europe decided to play their games for power in our fields again

Ай бұрын

not true. Germany was at first part of the Frankish Empire and later the Holy Roman Empire (the Empire with most states). This also meant that you had much more different nobilities, little kingdoms etc. which created castles (if you take all German created castles of Europe than its even way more). Germans has also most cities and most of many other things due to such reasons. Long story short: you had a big fluctuation of castle building and destroying (not always due to war. Many ppl were surprised to know for what profane reasons sometimes castles got deconstructed. Sometimes it was just kind of a moving to another place or because one could not pay back a lend etc.... in general many forget that similar to today the idea to change/re-build something was also already a thing back then - its not that all build something 'forever'. You had in fact much more castles and today its just a fraction - similar to that you had once also more old buildings and today just a fraction already BEFORE the world wars). Anyway, the oldest castles in Europe and the world are in Germany/Austria and UK (one is in Aleppo/Syria which was back then part of the Christian sphere). You are also WRONG about Neuschwanstein! Creating a castle based on older idealism was already in medieval time a thing and many were already back then created for such reasons. Thats NOT a new thing and Neuschwanstein as Castle is NOT in any way 'somehow not a real castle'. People who think that have an entirely wrong view on what castles really were back then and also how the medieval time was. Real differences are rather the different types of castles, for instance real fortresses, fortress castles with real defense structures, more representative castles without serious defense structures (even if on the first glance it looks like) and so on ... palaces of the more modern times (like Versailles, Sansouci, Schloss Charlottemburg etc.) are also a different thing. Apart from that: crusades where not only heading to the middle east etc. but you had also Northern Crusades. The biggest castle in the world was also created by Germans (Teutonic Order which started also as crusader movement). its the Malbork Castle (now in Poland). The longest castle in the world (>1km) is in Burghausen/Germany btw. ... anyway: you had crusader/order castles in many parts of Europe, most indeed in 'backyard' regions like the North-Eastern European parts, Spain, Portugal or in the Middle East/Levante etc. they often were also usually always also constructed with real defense in mind ...

Well, the "normal" speed on the Autobahn would be more like 130 to 140 km/h. At 150 - 170 you would definitely be faster than most other cars. Also on 30% of the Autobahn there actually is a speed limit, especially in urban areas. For the other 70% there is no speed limit but something called Richtgeschwindigkeit. Richtgeschwindigkeit is something like a recommended speed wich is 130 km/h. You are allowed to drive faster than the Richtgeschwindigkeit but only as long as it is save. When you drive faster than 130 and an accident happens you will at least partially be held responsible. Even if a slower car pulled in front of you. You would have to prove that the accident could not have been avoided at 130 in order to not be legally responsible. Also often times it is not even possible to go that fast because there is too much traffic. There have been several attempts to introduce a speed limit but there was always too much backlash from certain groups altough some polls state that slightly more than 50% of the population is pro speedlimit. Races are illegal regardless of the speedlimit. After several incidents, not only on the Autobahn but also in normal streets in city centers, there are even stricter laws now. Using these laws you could even be prosecuted for driving a race aginst yourself when you drive as fast as possible for the sole purpose of driving as fast as possible.

Neuschwanstein castle is not old.

Neuschwanstein is called a "fairy tale castle" for a reason... it is not "real". There are a lot of castles in Germany, and a lot of them date back to the age where "castle" was mainly a fortification. A "Ritterburg" - a knight's castle. My own home town has one dating back to the 13th century, and while it has changed over time, the original structure is still the dominating features, the massive walls, the stout tower. Famous example would be the Imperial Castle in Nuremberg, though Castle Eltz is more commonly known outside of Germany. Then there's a large number of more modern castles - the type that is usually called "Schloss" in German - maybe "palace" would be a good translation, or "stately mansion". Many of them were refurbished fortification type castles, others were custom build with the focus on comfort and representation, rather than defense and control. As Germany had a lot of different, larger or smaller, principalities during the modern era, there are a lot of examples for this kind of castle. You can find one of these, in a huge variety of styles and scopes, in basically every city that once was the seat of one of these almost-independent rulers. From my region, the Erlanger Stadtschloss would be an example... or, much more grandiose, the Prussian Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam. Then there are the "reconstructed" castles. In the late 19th century, there was a huge enthusiasm for all things medieval, and many old, even ruined structures were rebuild, trying to recreate (with more or less success) the old orginal state. Fantastic example for such a castle would be the Burg Hohenzollern. Then, born from the same romanticist ideals of a medieval age of chivalry, is Castle Neuschwanstein. It's a fantasy. A complete fabrication. There had been an old castle in this place... but this new building had nothing to do with it. Neuschwanstein is a dream of a knight's castle, build by a hopeless dreamer. It's definitly impressive... but to put in into historical realation.. it was build after the American Civil War. And as a token of interest, there is Castle Guédelon (in France, not Germany, but a impressive example of a medieval castle). This _is_ as close to an authentic high medieval castle that you can get... and it was build in the late 20th century. In fact, it is still not finished. It was meant as an exercise in experimental archeology, and has turned into a massive and diverse project by now, as well as a huge tourist attraction.

"The outcome of accidents" - On the non-speed limit parts, accidents are not more fatal than on the others, but you are right: if we impose a speed limit of 20 km/h, probably no fatal crashes would occur anymore. "The environment" - Everything has some negative impact on the environment to some extent. "Health (noise)" - Really, let me guess, but you are in favor of windmills? Not to mention that there are guidelines for noise pollution, and a speed limit of 130 wouldn't do anything. It depends on the survey, there are many where most are against a speed limit, and some where most are in favor of it. Objectively, it's about 50/50. Also, if you only ask people who drive cars, you get totally different number,; the vast majority in favor of a speed limit don't even drive cars. There is a statistic from the European Commission. To cut it short, Germany ranks 6th with the fewest traffic fatalities per capita. More people die from drowning than on The Autobahn. I am not a car driver myself, at least not since I moved to the city, so I could be indifferent. But what I don't like is making laws and prohibitions where they are not needed, "Germany, the land of prohibitions." We have much bigger problems that our politicians should be dealing with.

When I visited Germany, my family and I went to a McDonald’s and they sold warm wine. Also the Disney castle in Germany was for sleeping beauty or Cinderella I could be mistaken

Warm wine is Glühwein and is served at Christmas time, you get it typically/usually at the Christmas markets. Cinderella (Aschenputtel or Aschenbrödel) and Sleeping Beauty (Dornröschen) are natural habitants of a German castle (Schloss).

"8 things the World didn't know about Germany" >Shows beer, sausage and Autobahn as one of them Dude... What a waste, I want my 12 minutes back

At least your should take someone who has a bit of knowledge about the hole of his own country, his habits, history, differences... 🤷🏻‍♂️

I drive around 140-150km/h with my VW FOX... After that everything kinda starts to shake in my old tiny bloke😂

We do have beer in McDonalds in Spain and a lot of castles as well, but I think that they are not as impressive as the German ones, mainly because they are authentic medieval castles.

Why is the title „8 things the world didn’t know about Germany“ and they literally just showed the stereotypes I’m mean there’s so much more ppl ACTUALLY don’t know about Germany

German is my third language, but don't think I would fit too well in Germany, other than I like to be direct...I am a free speech loving, never touched alcohol or any other drug in my life, vegetarian...

You'd be fine. Many young people in Germany are vegan or vegetarian and drinking alcohol is becoming less popular. I personally usually have alcohol free beer or cocktails without alcohol and that has never been an issue.

Most times when we drink alcohol we do not get black out drunk but just a bit tipsy ("social drinking" (after all everyone from the toddler to the 90+ year old granny are present at our festivities)), so it really isn't that much of a deal if you can't or don't want to drink. Towards vegetarianism: that's huge here in Germany and hence we do have a lot of meals and products available catered for vegetarians and vegans (even most sausage vendors nowadays offer a vegan option). From retailers over restaurants to street vendors, you will most likely find vegetarian and vegan options everywhere. Towards free speech: as we are known to be very direct and honest to a fault free speech is something engrained here and you feel a lot less pressure in how or what you say in comparison to the Anglophone world (well, my main point of reference is Canada as I lived there for a year as a student), the only real topics that are prohibited by law here are denying the Holocaust and calling for violence against groups or individuals and insulting/ defaming someone directly (as a consequence of the ban on duels after ww2, hence our state claims all power over questions of honour)

Berlin is the vegan capital of the world. And Germany one of the best countries for vegetarians and vegans by now. At least in the bigger cities. All my vegetarian friends struggle much more on holiday than here in Germany.

First thing that comes to mind when you hear about Germany ?: Hayley: "the holoc..." Klaus: "hazelnut omelette"

The Disney castle was not based on he Germán castle but rather on the Alcazar de Segovia, which is definitely way more beautiful.

"Clean"??? I don't know where you are/where you got that picture from, but it really depends heavily on where you are and who is living there. The more you get outside of the city, the cleaner it gets. The more Germans you have, the cleaner it gets. The older those Germans are, the cleaner it gets. This is especially the case in west Germany. Towns and small to medium cities with older Germans are typically the cleanest.

The German woman is very attractive.

They are all talking to each other in English, which isn't their first language. They are conquering the division of cultures and nations. Their awkwardness is a wonderful thing to see in the name of progress.
