Thank you guys for the support on this video! I absolute LOVED traveling here and had some of the best guides with me! I’ll actually be back in Germany in 4 days, so anything I missed I’ll be able to do for the next MONTH! What places should I visit and what things should I do in those places when I get back? Side note, I definitely have to come back to Bremen to try out that restaurant on the River Front! I wasn’t able to record it since my camera died BUT it was Gorgeous!!!!

If you ever have the opportunity to visit 'Rothenburg ob der Tauber' then I would highly recommend it. Rothenburg ob der Tauber is one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Germany. It was founded in the 12th century and has retained its historic architecture and atmosphere to this day. There you will also find the Medieval Crime Museum, the oldest crime museum in Europe.

You totally should go to the middlerhine valley (could go on a ship down the river) there are lots of beautiful castles and it’s a UNESCO heritage site ☺️ There is also lovely hiking paths (the Rheinsteig) through the forests and vineyards along it which is beautiful at this time of the year ☺️

There is not only the smallest street in Bremen, but also the smallest house in Germany in Bremen, which you can even book like a hotel room. It's also there, in the Schnoor neighbourhood, very close to the little street you walked along. It has an area of about 4 square metres and a small terrace on the roof. But it also has everything you need.

The Roland is basically our statue of liberty, built looking towards the dome as protest against the archbishop. Even nowadays we say if Roland loses his head bremen wont be free any longer, but thats also why we got a copy of it prepared. It became world heritage in 2004 together with our Rathaus. The statue shows a general and possible nephew of Charlemagne who also commissioned the first cathedral where our Dome is standing right now (789 ac)

if i'm right, if the Roland is damaged and not rebuild in a certain time, we are not longer a Hansestadt. Every Hansestadt in Germany has a Roland and our Backup is a small golden Roland inside the Rathaus. In the War, there was a small Shelter build aroud it to protect it.

I am Born and raised in Bremen. I am happy you had the chance to experience the best city in Germany ;-) Although there is a big rivalary between Bremen and Hamburg, you also find a lot of similarities. That's because both cities are quite close to each other and both are hanseatic cities which was a leaque of cities that gathered in the medival age to built up a big trading network. That's for example why cars in Bremen have "HB" and Hamburg "HH" on their license plate (for Hanseatic city of Bremen / Hamburg). Also both cities share the same colors (red and white) on their flag (those are the hanseatic colors). Hamburg carries the Holsten gate on their flag, while Bremen carries a Key on the flag... therefore (coming back to the rivalary) people from Hamburg claim that Hamburg is the gate to the world, while People from Bremen say that Bremen has the key for that gate :-D

Hello James, i'm from Bremen and wanted to tell you if you look at the Rathaus from the side [ 16:40 ] there is a little secret on the facade. Somewhere in those detailed pattern is a Glückhenne (lucky hen). I got told that this hen build her nest on the highest point of bremen and was something special. I can't really explain it but something was special with this, some people even told me if you find this hen on the building pattern you get luck :) OH and my questions is did you visit the Bremer Stadtmusikanten? (a statue from a donkey, on top of that a dog, on top of that a cat and on the top a hen) because (this is a true story!) if you touch both golden hooves from the donkey they say: "If you hold both hooves at the same time, you can make a wish. Supposedly the wish will come true" Its the highlight and biggest Story in Bremen and this statue is right next to the Rathaus! :) That is the reason why people in Germany call Bremen the Fairytale City! ^^

Hello James! So you asked about our perception of the USA. I’m thrilled to share my perspective on the USA, a country that stands as a beacon of innovation, diversity, and resilience. The greatness of the United States is a multifaceted phenomenon, woven from a rich tapestry of history, culture, and values. 1. A Land of Innovation and Opportunity: The USA has long been a global leader in innovation and technological advancement. From Silicon Valley's tech giants to the pioneering spirit of startups across the nation, the American ethos of entrepreneurship fosters a unique environment where ideas can flourish. This culture of innovation isn’t just about technology; it extends to various fields including medicine, where groundbreaking research and life-saving treatments are developed. The American dream of opportunity, where hard work can lead to success, is a powerful driving force that has drawn people from all over the world seeking to achieve their ambitions. 2. A Diverse and Rich Cultural Mosaic: Culturally, the United States is a melting pot of traditions, languages, and cuisines. This diversity enriches the American experience, making it a vibrant and dynamic society. Cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago are not just cultural capitals; they are examples of how multiculturalism can enhance the creative and social fabric of a nation. The diversity in the USA is also reflected in its arts and entertainment, from Hollywood’s global influence on cinema to the world-renowned music scenes in Nashville, New Orleans, and Detroit. 3. A Champion of Democratic Values: The principles of democracy, liberty, and justice are foundational to the American identity. The United States has a storied history of advocating for human rights and freedoms, both domestically and internationally. The resilience of American institutions and the ongoing quest to uphold democratic ideals showcase the strength of its governance system. The checks and balances embedded in the Constitution are designed to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people, allowing for a system of governance that strives to be both fair and representative. 4. A Land of Natural Wonders: The sheer natural beauty of the USA is nothing short of awe-inspiring. From the majestic Grand Canyon to the stunning landscapes of Yellowstone and the serene coasts of Hawaii, America’s natural wonders offer a breathtaking array of scenic marvels. These natural treasures not only provide recreational opportunities but also symbolize the country’s commitment to conservation and environmental stewardship. 5. A Beacon of Humanitarian Efforts: The United States has played a significant role in global humanitarian efforts, providing aid and support to countries in need. American organizations and volunteers are often at the forefront of disaster relief and international development projects. This spirit of giving and compassion underscores a deep-seated commitment to improving lives beyond its borders. 6. A Legacy of Scientific and Academic Excellence: The USA is home to some of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions and research facilities. The commitment to higher education and scientific research is evident in the cutting-edge discoveries and academic achievements that emerge from American universities. This dedication to knowledge and progress contributes to global advancements in various fields, including space exploration, medicine, and engineering. In conclusion, the greatness of the USA is reflected in its remarkable ability to blend innovation with tradition, diversity with unity, and freedom with responsibility. It’s a nation that continually strives to improve while celebrating its unique characteristics and contributions to the world. The American spirit, with its emphasis on opportunity, resilience, and compassion, is a testament to the enduring greatness of the USA. Thank you for inviting us to share our perspectives! Warm regards, lennrad

@@etfluezu9161 I wasn't in every city of germany yet, that's why I said "one of the best". I was in Hannover once many years ago and honestly, I don't remember the station anymore. My comparisons are cities like Münster, Dortmund, Berlin, Nürnberg, Hamburg. And most of those have these empty underground corridors, even Hamburg. Hamburg is still one of the better ones, just too full. One other thing Bremen has, many other city stations don't, is a great outside area. The station has a front and a back entrance and no matter which one you go through you end up in an open space. An area where events like funfairs or christmas markets happen. At one side there is even a little park. In other cities (e.g. Münster) if you walkt out of the main entrance the first thing you see is a multi lane main street and cars driving left and right. And if you take the back exit, (I think it was in Dortmund) you end up in some dark side alley.

Bremen changed a lot in the past 20 years, esp. the inner city. When I was a kid (2000s) the Sögestraße was the main commercial street, everybody was going there to browse for stuff. Now many shops are exchanged for other stuff or franchises and the action is more in other areas such as the Waterfront mall in the harbor. Many businesses are struggling commercially in the Innenstadt (though it's in no way deserted). I love Bremen and of course the old city is as beautiful as ever. I've also lived in Aachen and the athmosphere is sometimes similar for me

I went to school in Bremen, and I have never called it anything but Bremen. That said, your buddy gave you the tour in almost the exact order I've done it when showing friends the inner city too - good job on him, even if you didn't mention two of the major landmarks you actually passed. The pig statues in the Soegestrasse, and more importantly the Bremer Stadtmusikanten, which are one of the symbols of the City. It would probably have been too much to Ask to do the walk to the Viertel as well, although i'd have included it in the tour to show some of the less touristy places. Guess you where a bit too early for eating Gruenkohl mit Pinkel, but if you ever have the chance to, that is one of the most iconic dishes in Bremen and there are several fun traditions around it.

Funfact: "Bremen" is a cognate to the English word: Brim Because the old city started at the brim or edge of the river Weser

As a German, I find it exciting how you visit German cities and discover many things that fascinate you. I would probably have just walked past it, thought “yes, quite nice” and moved on. But next time I will take a closer look at things and appreciate them. And I'll certainly visit Bremen, which I didn't have on my radar at all Greetings from the city of Norden, East Frisia... (which would certainly be worth a visit with Norddeich, the island of Norderney and the many other ferries to the dozens of North German islands 😁 )

Hey James...in case of old cities, you should definitely visit Bamberg on your tour. Nördlingen is a good one in little old cities in germany, but Bamberg is a league of its own.

You really got to come to Wolfsburg too! It's not as big as Hannover or Hamburg but still has a lot of cool places. We've got the biggest Volkswagen Werk in Europe, we have the Phaeno, the Ritz, the Autostadt, the Planetarium, hiking trails and are mostly known for our cars. Also having an almost unreasonable amount of Italian restaurants lmao

16:27 *Ahem* Roland (or Hroutland) was the Duke of Cenomanien and a Paladin of Charlemagne. He died while covering the retreat of his Emperor from a Moorish ambush during the Spain campagne. Roland is seen as a symbol of freedome, citizen's rights and grandted liberty trough the word of the emperor. There are many Roland Statues in europe and also in North and South America. The Bremer Roland has a pretty symbolic history. They build the first statue out of Wood, facing the Dom to challenge the Bishops Rule and influence over the city, since the PPeople of Bremen believed that the citizens should rule the City and not the Church. The Bishop had his men burn it down. So the City council had a new one made out of Stone (They even still have the receipt for the Stone Masons work, 170 Bremer Mark were they payed) The Inscription on his Shielf reads “Freedom I have revealed to you / which Charles and many princes have truly given / to this place / thank God for that, that is my advice” During the Napoleonic Wars, the Statue was in danger of beeing demolished but the City council together with all Guilds pleded for it to stay. The Legend says that. "As long as Roland stands, the City if Bremen will stay Indipendent" There is a rumor that below the Rathaus, there is a secret Chamber where they have a spare Roland statue, just in case something happens to the real one.

Saying "Breem" is totally OK. We all do it here in my hometown. Aachen looked older? Yes, it is much older. When you google it, there is evidence that about 2500 years B.C. there were settlings in the region. The Romans made it bigger than in the early centuries AD - Bremen was first mentioned about 780 AD an recieved City rights at 965, so this ist like the "birth" of the city. Nice Video 🙂
