For those who are interested: The Flag of Schleswig-Holstein contains the Blue from the Lions of the Coat of Arms from the Former Duchy of Schleswig and the White and Red from the Coat of Arms of the former Duchy of Holstein. The Flag itself was never official since 1848 (cause the two duchies was seperated but ruled from the danish King, Schleswig as Part of Denmark and Holstein as the Duch of Holstein which Was Part of the german confederacy). As 1848 the people of Schleswig and Holstein have rebelled against the danish King they used this flag for their cause, and in the danish language this flag is still called the rebell flag. For those who are verry interested in: In old medieval times, the King of Denmark and Charlemange decided that the northern Part of Germania should be go until the River of Eider. So there was formed the Duchy of Schleswig (northern Part) and Duchy of Holstein (southern Part). Then border conflicts openned up cause the People of Schleswig and Holstein always felled connected and Denmark had interests in Holstein, and the german Emperor sometimes had interests in Schleswig, as in the middle of the 15th Century a treaty was signed. The treaty was mainly about that Schleswig and Holstein should never ever be seperated. There Was formed the Well known sentence (at least in Schleswig-Holstein) "Up eewig ungedeelt" (forever undevided). That has meant the Duchy of Schleswig got a little more Autonomy but Was still under the rule of the danish Kingdom, and the Duchy of Holstein (Part of the Holy Roman Empire) was ruled by the Duch of Holstein which also had to be the danish King. For centuries this was a good treaty, until the german confederacy was formed. Holstein remained Part of the germany in terms of the Confederacy still inder danish rule, but Denmark and the Confederacy maked the Real that Schleswig (mainly habitted by german speaking people) and Holstein has to have been ruled equally. 1848 as german revolutionaries tried to unite the german confederacy to the first reich, Problemes came up. They wanted to give germany a constitution, and Part of it was that all german states had to have an own regional condtitution, therefore also Holstein. But the danish King was not interested in condtitution at all. Since Holstein was not a Main Part of Denmark he agreed to give Holstein a Condtitution. But since Schleswig and Holstein had to be rulled equally also Schleswig (Part of core Denmark) had to get a condtitution too. But that would have meant the danish King agrees to have constituions in the core land of Denmark and would strength Parlaments and liberal forces. So he decided to give holstein the condtitution but not Schleswig, which upsetted Schleswig and Holstein people where they decided to rebell against Denmark with the help of the german reich. The war was lost (also die to the failed Revolution in Germany) and Holstein was connected more to Denmark. 1864 (nobody knows exactly why) the new formed german Confederacy (mainly ruled from Prussia and Austria) decided to fight a war for the german People in Schleswig and Holstein, faughted a short blody war, and Austria got the Duchy of Holstein, Prussia the Duchy of Schleswig. Since Schleswig and Holstein are devided once more (but this time under two german rulers at last) Prussia used the cause to unify Schleswig and Holstein as war cause against Austria (politically the war was to kick Austria out of the german Confederacy so that Prussia remained as Single big Power, the 2nd of 3 steps to the unification of germany). Short Things first: Prussia has won the war, uniteded Schleswig and Holstein to the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein and for the first, Schleswig and Holstein were truely united at last. After the lost first World war, the People of Schleswig got the right to vote weither Schleswig should remain german or go back to Denmark. The upper half votes mainly for Denmark, the lower half voted for Germany. So they divided Schleswig into Northern Schleswig (Part of Denmark with a German minority) and Southern Schleswig (remaining in Germany in the State of Schleswig-Holstein) with a danish minority. The danish Minority has it's own Party, and since they are a recognized minority in germany the danish minority Party has to be represented in all Parlaments were they are able to vote and get voted (actually it is just the State Parlament of Schleswig-Holstein for now, but I have heared they want to take Part of the federal election this year and as soon as they get 1% the danish minority will be represented in the Bundestag xD). Thats enough, hope you have something interesting learned about my Homeland Schleswig-Holstein :D

The 8th star in the Thuringian coat of arms represent Erfurt and some other areas, which when Thuringia was founded in 1920 still belonged to Prussia. After the reconstitution of Thuringia in 1990 they were added to the state and color of arms. The only place free on the shield was just above the lions tail and this resulted in the somehow heraldically irregular pattern of the stars.

At 13:00 you are right with the 7 stars. Before 1920 in the historical region of Thuringia, were many rulers, which became sovereign. There were several duchies of the Ernestines, mainly two principalities of Reuß and two principalities of Schwarzburg: 1. Großherzogtum Sachsen(-Weimar) 2. Herzogtum Sachsen-Meiningen, 3. Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha 4. Herzogtum Sachsen-Altenburg, 5. Fürstentum Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, 6. Fürstentum Schwarzburg-Sondershausen. 7. Volksstadt Reuß (which united the two principalities of Reuß-Gera (Younger Line) and Reuß-Greiz (Older Line). The eight star represents the former Prussian territories like Nordhausen, Erfurt, Ziegenrück (Provinz Sachsen) and Schmalkalden (Provinz Hessen). In 1920 Prussia stil existed and so Weimar became the capital of Thuringia, not the bigger and more important Erfurt, which is nower days the capital of Thuringia. One supplement to Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha: Only Gotha joined "Great Thuringia" not Coburg, which became a part of Bayern.

Other countries in the Eurozone mint such as well, celebrating their culture and history, with vastly different numbers in circulation (some of them becoming real collector's items). I think every member is allowed to make up to two new commemorative coins each year (used to be only one). In Germany, we have this Bundesländer series, where every year one of the states gets its coin, depicting a famous building from that region. But the Euros with the standard backsides are waaay more common.

@@sebs.3917 It's the 2+4 treaty, not the "4+2 contract". More importantly, all it does is reaffirm the territories ceded to Poland - it doesn't say "...in lieu of reparations paid". Reparations were waived in the 50s already, and yes, in exchange for the eastern territories - but that was a forced treaty between soviet-controlled Poland and soviet-controlled Eastern Germany. Given that this older treaty might be considered null and void, and rightly so, in my opinion, Poland might legally have a point in demanding reparations. However, given what Poland had gained with the ceded territories, and the way expulsion of German civilians living in these areas was handled - I think it's best for them to call it even.

Im Juli 1945 erhielt Thüringen sein nunmehr drittes Hoheitszeichen, einen goldenen Löwen auf rotem Grund, umgeben von jetzt acht silbernen Sternen. Der neu aufgenommene Stern symbolisierte jene Gebiete des preußischen Thüringen - der 1944 aus der Provinz Sachsen ausgegliederte Regierungsbezirk Erfurt einschließlich des seit diesem Zeitpunkt zugehörigen Kreises Herrschaft Schmalkalden - die im Sommer 1945 in das Land integriert werden konnten. Quote Wikipedia. The article is called Thüringer_Landeswappen. (The English Version doesn't mention the eighth star specifically. It only says that the eight stars represent the former Divisions of Thuringia and which parts are represented by the first seven stars.)

Small correction on Bavaria: The Bavarian coat of arms is actually a fusion of the coat of arms of Frankonia, Swabia, Bavaria and Oberpfalz with the Wittelsbach pattern in the middle. (I believe you just showed the Wittelsbach Version or a small coat of arms) Apart from that it is commonly assumed that white and blue refer to the colours of the sky (The Bavarian national anthem contains a line "And preserve for us, the colours of our sky; white and blue")

The right part of the code of arms of Schleswig-Holstein is stolen from the code of arms of my home region, Schaumburg, Lower Saxony. This is due to the historic reach of the "Grafschaft Schaumburg-(Lippe)" (Grafschaft=shire) (They fused with Lippe approximately 1640)

The silver leaf of Holstein in the flag of Schleswig-Holstein is actually the "Nesselblatt" (Nettle leaf) of the County of Schaumburg and Holstein. The family of Schaumburg had their origin castle on the "Nesselberg" (Mount Nettle), which was said to have a lot of nettles growing on it. Therefor it is said the family took it's crest, but that is not proven. The connection with Holstein begins in the year 1110, when Adolf I. of Schaumburg were appointed Count of Holstein by the Duke of Saxony. Since 1227 the "Nesselblatt" is used in the Holstain-crest.Today the "Nesselblatt" is used in flags and crests of many cities in the former counties of Schaumburg and Holstein and todays districs in the areas.

Nicely done! The coat of arms of Thüringen has 8 stars because the 'recreated' (1990) state of Thüringen consists of 8 former states. You have the ones that formed the first state of Thüringen (1920) ... Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach, Sachsen-Gotha, Sachsen-Meiningen, Sachsen-Altenburg, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, Schwarzburg-Sondershausen and the 'Volksstaat Reuß' (which was an amalgamtion of Reuß jüngere Line and Reuß ältere Linie) plus the former Prussian province of Erfurt - the final and eighth star. Erfurt was still part of Prussia when Thüringen was first formed and when the state of Prussia ceased to exist, the province of Erfurt was integrated into a 'Bezirk' (the GDR/"East Germany" abolished the federal states). Only in 1990 the former province of Erfurt was finely joint to the rest of Thüringen.

The duchy of Swabia (= Schwaben) contained most parts which are now Baden-Württemberg from the early middle ages towards 1268. During the high middle ages the duchy was ruled by the dynasty of Hohenstaufen, which included in the 12th and 13th century also five German Kings/ Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire (Konrad III., Friedrich I., Heinrich VI., Friedrich II. and Konrad IV.). After the last member of this dynasty died in 1268 (Konradin, Duke of Swabia, he was executed in Italy by order of the Pope) the Duchy was dissoluted and the most succesful aristocrats in grabbing after the country were the Margraves, since 1806 Grand Dukes of Baden and the Counts, later Dukes, since 1806 Kings of Württemberg. A small portion of the former Duchy of Swabia stayed by the Princes of Hohenzollern until 1849 (the Princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen were Princes and than Kings of Romania from 1866 until 1947, the members of a younger sideline became Margraves of Brandenburg in 1415 and from 1701 onwards Kings of Prussia and between 1871 and 1918 than German Emperors.

@@NicolaW72 : The former Duchy Swabia/ Herzogtum Schwaben included the middle and southern third of current Baden- Württemberg, the current bavarian district Schwaben, german part of Switzerland and perhaps also austrian Vorarlberg and Liechtenstein, this means all allemannic territories with exeption of Alsace. During the ,emperless time' 1254 to 1274 all noblemen grabbed as much imperial crownland as possible. The territories of former ,Swabian Circle of Imperial Knights' had been in medieval time crownland, also village and castle Hohenstaufen. After 1268, end of Duchy Swabia , nowadays Switzerland became more and more independent and leaved HRE in 1499 in reality and 1648 on paper. The remaining german part of former Swabia formed in 1496 Reichskreis Schwaben/ War district Swabia. It conststed of 100(!) independent states. About 30 to 35 Imperial towns/ Reichsstädte, about 20 to 25 territories of Spiritual Lords ( two bishops, one probst, and abbots, two of them female!) and about 40 to 45 noble Lords ( one duke, two margraves and lots of counts and Fürsten). There had been also the territories of Imperial Knights, the Catholic Knights orders, and some curious things like ,Imperial Valley Oberharmersbach'.

Interesting video and well informed I think. The eighth star in the coat of arms of Thuringia is there today, because Thuringia was enlarged after WW2. Part of the former Prussian province of Saxony (the rest of which is now part of Saxony-Anhalt) was added to Thuringia, thus eliminating a lot of Prussian enclaves and exclaves in Prussia that Thuringia had, when it was founded after WW1. Your pronunciation of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was quite good. The only little thing: Burg or ...burg is pronounced like 'boorg', in German easily distinguishable from Berg or ...berg (as in Nürnberg), which is prounounced like'bairg'.
