@@YezaOutcast That's not right - his original germanic name is unknown, he's grown up in Rome and the romans called him Arminius, perhaps he was fightened against the armenian tribes as a colonel in the roman army in his youth. The german name "Hermann" was given to him in the late 19.century with the foundation of the new german Reich.

As for castles: they might look poetic but keep in mind that these are military structures that are meant to control and project power into the surrounding areas, so they are placed for maximum defensibility with the lowest possible numbers of defenders. Neuschwanstein (the white castle right in the beginning) though is a late 19th century pleasure palace, built with electric lighting for it's "mythical grotto" and things like this, and has no defensive value whatsoever, and wouldn't have had any in the 1870s anyway. Burg Elz (has a caption) whole financed by tourism *is* still the home of the various lines of the House of Elz, presided by the current Count of Elz. Statues - oh boy, many are from the Imperial Era from 1871-1918, a lot of Germania's (the personification of Germany) often in the pose and habit of a Victoria (that's the Roman Goddess of Victory) and created to symbolize the victory of the united German States over Napoleon III's (Louis Bonaparte, to name his civil name without claiming his uncle's legacy) 2nd Empire in the Franco-Prussian War of1870/71. Then there are *a ton* of Bismarck statues (the chancellor to three Prussian kings who happened to be the first three - and last - German Emperors) but they romanticise the "Iron Chancellor" mostly as a late medieval knight, not as the diplomat and politician of the late 19th century. Then we have the round low tower with the Knights facing in all directions, that's on the site of "the Battle of the Nations" of 1813 against Napoleon I, the greatest battle fought in Europe until the Great War in 1914. There's more and more and more ^^. The Great Cathedral in Cologne is the greatest Cathedral north of the Alps and a masterpiece of the High Gothic style... and a building site for 800 years (though there was a loooooong, as in centuries, pause in the construction until it was finished in the 1840s) and still is because something so intricate such as this *needs constant maintenance* . Just touching on a couple of things essentially.^^ There are also a lot of things linked to the *Holy Roman Empire* (yes, "Germany" - or rather the German Lands - was one of the successor states in the "Translatio Imperii" of Rome) like the double headed eagle you noticed as the "German" eagle - it's not, it's the double headed Aquila (there is semiotics behind this but this would make this even longer) of the Holy Roman Empire, the German eagle is a single headed black eagle based on the Prussian one.

6:35 rooftops which are black, copperish or turquoise are mostly made of the same material: copper. The color of the roofs depends on the age. Copper was a very common building material for roofs because it was light in weight, easy to work with, shatterproof, and durable. Buildings with such roofs are younger than those with tiled roof shingles because the tools to process copper only became available later. Initially, copper is black or copper-colored, but over time the material weathers and takes on the typical turquoise-green patina.

4:30 That’s the statue of Arminius or Hermann who united the Germanic tribes against the Romans in 9 AD. The battle of the Teutoburg Forest led to one of the biggest if not the biggest defeat in history for the Roman Empire, stopping the Roman expansion along the Rhine river. So the “Hermannsdenkmal” is a symbol of German unity and nationalism.

at minute 6:27. this is the place where I live. It is built quite modernly, as you can see in the background. not everything in red. But there is an old town with buildings that are over 500 years old and the cathedral in the picture is so huge that you could turn pale. The construction of the cathedral began around 910 AD. If you stand close to him you might think he is only a few years old. The style of the cathedral is also unique in the world. I see him every day when I look out the window or walk out the door onto the street. It is so high that you can see it from everywhere in the city. also because he stands on the high rock. When you live here you forget over time how unique it is. If you want to see more details of the city there is a good video for that: kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqyKqM-necLXj6Q.htmlsi=FJLwUradLx_kVCN1

But reactions like yours show us the right path again. Thanks for that. 12:01 No, Germans are not proud to be Germans, Germans are glad to be Germans. We put aside our pride after the bad times and realized that you can only be proud of what you have achieved yourself. Being born in Germany doesn't give you any pride, you're just lucky. 14:37 The castles date back to times long before Germany was a country. At that time there were many different kingdoms and duchies, all of which built their own castles and palaces as their residence. These were built on hills and mountains because they were safer and easier to defend.

Germany has over 25000 castles, palaces and fortresses. The castles where build for different reasons. During the attacks of the huns there where build many to protect the peasants and as a kind of medieval police station where knights could let the huns pass by and ride armed in there backs to circle them with the knights of other castles. Then there where many build on top of hills near rivers to collect taxes from traders who uses the rivers as a water road. Then they became home of wealthy families who also rise to nobility. They where easy to defend and hard to conquer. That leads to a more stable realm. There is much much more to it but that is a peek to become a feeling for the reason behind the castles.

Very smart to turn on the subtitles! So every location is named. 👍🏻

Many of the places shown here have to be seen in winter or Christmas time. Then they are much more beautiful.

Most of these castles were built in places that were easy to defend. If there's a hill, you would build a castle on it. If there is no hill, you're looking for an island in the lake or a river or something.

the colors of the rooftops and buildings in general is based on the materials found nearby xD Clay, Sandstone, Slate etc.

There are large deposits of slate in southern regions of Germany. Therefore, in many cities near slate deposits, the roofs are covered with slate. In other regions, tiled roofs predominate. In northern Germany you often see roofs covered with reeds.

The statue is of Herman, Arminius, which was a german prince. Kidnapped (exchanged) by Roman military. Fought back. Succeed.

I am from Munich and I guarantee its real =)

4:38 The statue of Hermann is dedicated to Arminius: Arminius was a Cheruscan prince who inflicted one of the most devastating defeats on the Romans in the year 9 AD in the Varus Battle with the destruction of three legions. 7:38 This is Emperor Frederick I, known as Barbarossa, from the Staufer dynasty, who was Duke of Swabia from 1147 to 1152 as Frederick III. Duke of Swabia, Roman-German King from 1152 to 1190 and Emperor of the Roman-German Empire from 1155 to 1190. According to legend, Emperor Friedrich I, known as Barbarossa, did not die, but was magically transported to a cave under the Kyffhäuser Mountains. There, together with his loyal followers, he sits asleep on a throne and waits for his return. There is a German ballad that sings of his return. The Title of the ballade (It's on the same yt channel): Der alte Barbarossa [German ballade][+English translation] 8:06 This is the warehouse district of Hamburg. Like Bremen, Lübeck and other northern German cities, Hamburg belonged to the Hanseatic League. A trading organisation that traded throughout Europe. Ships and freighters were loaded and unloaded by sea. Fish, coffee, spices, wool and other things were handled, stored and sold there. Today, the famous "Miniatur Wunderland" can be found there. One of the largest model railway attractions in the world. 8:15 The statue of the first German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck-Schönhausen, from 1865 Count von Bismarck-Schönhausen, from 1871 Prince von Bismarck, from 1890 also Duke of Lauenburg, was a German politician and statesman. He introduced many things such as social insurance into German society. So that everyone has health insurance etc. He was also known as the iron chancellor. 10:46 This is the island of Heligoland. One of over 20 known islands in the North Sea and Baltic Sea region and part of Germany's high seas territory. In Germany there are also very old buildings and structures. For example: the Porta Nigra (Latin for "Black Gate"; formerly also Porta Martis and Roman Gate) is a former Roman city gate on Porta Nigra Square that was built from 170 AD and is a landmark of the city of Trier.

The main reason is simple. The roofs are made in first place from material a) locally available b) affordable E.g. in my hometown old houses have red roofs (clay tiles), while some public builindings (city hall, church) have black (dark grey) slate tiles. Those had to be transported from further away. Thus more expensive than the clay tiles which came (and still come) from a mile away.

But then dive deeper and beyond go to Africa, see what Babylon was like, the Egyptian Empire and all those other civilizations. One learned from the others, sometimes, sometimes not.

Le paradis sur terre est en Europe et pas aux USA

Strictly speaking, I'm a bit surprised, even irritated, at how little people in America know about Germany. the heart of Europe. Europe, that is also your ancestry, because who settled the new world? Europeans. It's crazy that you aren't taught what all the castles and palaces said, especially at the time of the principalities. Dude, that's history that you can still touch here, that went from here into the world. Letterpress, fairy tales, Brothers Grimm, etc. and you know nothing. I want to tell you something. Germany is history, fairy tales and mysticism and ancient. especially our cities. they are thousands of years old. Trier, for example, is over 2000 years old, from 17 BC, Cologne 19 BC, Bonn 20 BC. The oldest city in Germany is Worms 5000 before Chistus. The Celts left their mark on the city of Worms, making Worms the oldest city in Germany. At the beginning of the city's history, Worms was known by the Celtic names “Borbetomagus” and “Borbitumagus”. Due to the favorable flood-protected location on the banks of the Rhine, archaeologists were able to demonstrate a very high number of settlements right from the start. But it wasn't just the Celts who settled there. The Romans were also there. It is even assumed that a Roman fort was found in the Augustan period. Was lernt ihr bloß?

Your wanna buy this we need the money

Hello Shahin, you have asked the right question in my opinion: What was the reason to built all these castles? I try to give you an answer. The humans wanted to bring down the magnetic field (energy) to the houses and other "consumers" from the hills and mountains to the valleys. Therefore it was necessary to build up civil engineering contructive works cecw which were able to lift it up/enhance the magnetic field with stones, wood, iron, etc.; You needed a higher building around the "consumers"(houses, churches etc mainly down in the valley. Therefore it was necessary to build a higher cecw to have a higher electrostatic field/tension. The higher a cecw, the higher was the tension. With a higher cecw you were able to absorb the magnetic field/electricity e.g. from a mountain to a valley. And in a valley you had e.g. the consumers (houses, railway system, factories, etc.). The so called Schuhmann frequency shows some basics of the resonance field our earth. The code of this field is the cruz. So with the cecw`s you were able to connect all humans with each other and of course with endless energy (resonance energy). Therefore the buildings look sometimes pretty similar like vegetables, humans, animals especially on the highest point. That all is depressed by our rulers. The dominant historiography is the historiography of the rulers. I hope, I was able to answer your question a little bit. Greetings from Bavaria
