300 types of bread is no longer up to date. According to the official bread register of the Central Association of German Bakers from 2010, there are now 3200 types of bread

most of those "tornados" are small to very small. Yes there can be a vortex of air appearing sometimes, but its not like in the American plains. Because the area is mostly hills and woods where this supposed "tornado alley of Europe" lies, so its not really "extreme weather" but rather a peculiar weather phenomenon.

Funfact: When it comes to dubbing, Christopher Lee dubbed many of his roles by himself. His German was amaizing.

[Voolex.]

In Germany we don’t dub a lot… we dub EVERYTHING!

I am happy to see, that the comment section is no part of Germany too LOL...as always. We have a spidersence for videos about Germany. After we sense them, we flock to the accounts and fload the comment section.
Can i say that i love to listen to your accent! I have a thing for british english and it is nice to hear more brits on youtube, not only americans. You also have a wholesome vibe in your videos. Perfect to relax in the evening.

Germany dubs everything- There are some movies vastly improved in the German dub, such as _Highlander_ and _Avatar the Last Airbender._ With the German dub of _The Last Unicorn, _ Christopher Lee dubbed himself as he was fluent in German, but he retains a slight British accent while speaking High German which gave his King Haggard an interesting "old-fashioned" cadence perfect for the character.

I have lived in Germany my whole life and I have never experienced a single tornado.

The thing about this school system in germany is, that it is completely based on your grades in the 4th class. Many people criticise this because your way in life is determined at a very young age and your true talents aren't developed yet.

The world cup in 2006 really started a change in national pride, I felt. The weather was amazing, the football brilliant, the visiting fans mostly behaved and had a great time, the home team got to the semis. It let Germany feel really good about itself, and it was such a lovely feeling.

[divosdariel]

But the thing with our school system is: In the end of our primary school every student gets a letter of recommendation for a specific school type, mostly based on primary school grades. It's an early separation of children which eventually COULD have problems in Gymnasium or Realschule or another school type.

The kuckuck, Clocks, Definitely don’t come from Bawarien they Come from the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg.

[alexandergrundt]

There are over 1.500 different types of Wurst/sausages in Germany. How in the world did they came up with the number of 50?

This video and your attitude made me very proud to be German in the most positive sense! Of course, the "image video" is presented very positively and does not deal with current problems in the country. But it really reminded me what a beautiful, strong, peaceful and friendly country we are. At the moment, I think we as a country have partly forgotten what we are good at, what our values ​​are and what we have achieved. We should rely on this much more and stick together more. Many people don't see that anymore these days, and I also have mixed feelings about the future. There will be a way to improve the current situation, so far we as Germans have always managed to do that ;).
Thank you again and all the best!

The street sign shown at 6:03 with the 3 parallel diagonal black stripes actually means: “all restrictions are off” (like speed limit, no passing and such) and is found on other streets besides the Autobahn - however then you’re restricted to the general speed limit of maximum 100 km/h outside town limits.

It's true that German dubs practically everything from foreign media into German. I don't consider it annoying, though, because the dubbing is usually very high quality (at least on popular movies and shows) and done by professional actors. Unless you actually learned to lip read, you usually can't tell that the dubbing and the lip movements are out of sync, because the dubbings are written to be as much in sync with the lip movements as possible. For famous actors, they also try to get everything that actor has done dubbed by the same voice actor, so you have a recognizable voice to go with the face, even if it isn't actually his real voice. In some cases, they are even better than the original. E.g. I never understood why everyone was bashing Kristen Stewart so much - I mean, the Twilight movies obviously didn't have very good plots and the staring and mouth breathing was a bit silly, but I thought the delivery of her lines was quite good .... until I first watched some scenes of those movies in the original language.

3:18 The German colonial possessions in Africa were Togo (Togoland), Cameroon (Kamerun), Namibia (German South West Africa), and Tanzania (German East Africa). The others shown on the map were all in the Pacific: Papua New Guinea (German New Guinea), Palau, Solomon Islands, Mariana Islands, Caroline Islands, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Samoa (German Samoa), and the 99-year lease of Qingdao (Tsingtao) and environs on mainland China as the German "Hong Kong".

Anyone who completes vocational training in Germany receives dual training. This means that in addition to the practical training, there is also theoretical training at school. This is 1 - 2 times a week depending on your job. For craft professions this means, for example, materials science, for hairdressers, for example, chemical composition of the products, etc. Depending on the profession, vocational training takes 2 - 3.5 years.

Yes, we do dub a lot.
We are a large consumer market consisting of many people who still struggle with English.
A lot of voice actors are spezialised "Synchronsprecher" here, so our dubbing is really amazing in comparison.
I still prefer original voices nowadays.

We had a pretty significant tornado in Radeberg (close to Dresden, Saxony; also famous for the beer "Radeberger"). It took place 2010 when I was almost 2 years old. My dad and my brother told me about it but other than that I don't know about any tornado events of significant size in all of Germany.
