Destination 2017: Fulda

Fulda, in central Germany, was built on religion. Religion still dominates the city, as does Baroque architecture.

    As the old Fulda promotional pamplets told us, Fulda is "Liebenswert und Lebenswert." Thanks again for making these great videos. The research and artistry shows up in the finished product.

    Excellent video! I was born in a DP camp in Fulda before emigrating to the US. It's an interesting city, but politically very conservative. The home of Alfred Dregger.

    The couple at 7:53 could double as a younger version of Ulrich Tukur and his wife. There's the slight possibly that it's actually them though.

    If you think Fulda got the worst of post-war city-planning, visit Kassel. Kassel was leveled to the ground in WWII because of its tank factories and was rebuilt in the most ugly and confusing (traffic) way.

    Baroque art and architecture was the Catholic Church's visual answer to the reformation. So with the plethora of the said mentioned art style in the city, I guess Fulda really became a center for counter-reformation in Germany.

    These videos are just great! Are you planning on doing a video on the ruhr area at some point (the cities are so close together that they can't really be looked at individually i think)? Even if it is of a more recent historical relevance, I think it might an interesting thing to see, also since there is also some historic stuff to see, like the freilichtmuseum hagen.

    Es ist schon interessant, dass so mancher Fuldarer glaubt, dass die Michaeliskirche die älteste Kirche Deutschlands ist (hab ich persönlich miterlebt, wie das behauptet wurde), während ca 20 Km entfernt ne Kirche steht, die 812 schon geweiht wurde.... Dennoch schönes Video.

    So why didn't you translate "Stadtschloss" into "City Castle", but "City Schloss" instead? You have done it the other way around in previous destination videos, so that made me wonder (without actually knowing myself which is correct).

    Because it's not a castle. If anything, it's a palace. The German "Schloss" has many different possible translations: "castle", "palace", "stately home", even "manor house" in some cases. What was there before the Schloss was an actual castle -- German "Burg" -- so I needed to make sure I used a different word for that. The word "schloss" is widely understood in the English-speaking world -- like the French "château" -- so I took the line of least resistance and used that.
