    ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I’m 30 years old, and I’m a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master’s degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE 🙂

      I love how the German church tax actually exposes the truth about religion’s true aims: money, control & power. You can’t be a godparent unless you give the church money? I thought the parents decided who a godparent would be, not some money grubber in a cleric’s collar.

      "erschleichen von leistungen"
      sneakily unpaid use of services
      is another one of those. thats why it is a crime to not buy a ticket for public services, and not a misdemeanor. its too harsh imo, and the transportation companies use it to "extort" ridiculous fees from clumsy children who keep forgetting their school tickets.
      getting criminal charges for leaving your year pass at home or plain not getting a ticket 3 times is just stupid

      You cannot be charged for a contract you did not sign.

      With 14 you become religionsmündig, which means if you confess to a religion this is the first time it is legally binding.

      So if you go to Confirmation/Firmung (= which means „Bestätigung“, literally „confirm“ in english) its the (implied but legally binding) registration to a specific nomination. Or to be more correct: The church has their records, they charge you, but with a valid confirmation you lose the right of objection. BUT you can object any time after Firmung. The problem is then again as it is a tax, you can be only taxed when you start earnings. Which means people ususally see the outcome of their actions only 4 years later.

      To be registered before 14 it would be seen as making a contract as a child, which is not legally binding as any other contract.

      I can't think of any laws, but I thought it was odd when I visited my great-great-grandfather's home town in Hesse, there were streets with Nazi-era names, like Danzigerstrasse and Sudetenstrasse. They did re-name the town plaza after a victim of Kristallnacht, though.

      I don't know if a carryover from Nazi Germany or earlier. Still, my German mother said in Germany you can't give your children "ridiculous" names like Moon Unit, X, Z, Princess, etc. as the government won't allow it as a proper name. Very different from the USA.

      You made the same mistake as the german government these days when the AfD could maybe vote for a new Law.
      It's not important WHO made the law, it's only important if it is a "good" law.
      And by the way, i pay 16% "Kirchensteuer" in Switzerland. so, no need for Nazis for dumb taxes….

    23. @Berend-ov8of on

      The Nazis didn't only make laws, but they also abolished some. During their occupation of the Netherlands, they abolished the Dutch "Personele Belasting" which was a tax originating from as far back as the middle ages, which made people pay for owning things like a chimney, a flag pole, a bike, or a piano. This particular tax was never reinstalled.

      for people with church membership believe in tithing 10%. i would be fine with a 'church tax" that goes to the church for only people who are church members, as that would have your tithe automatically taken from you paycheck before you saw it, which we belive this is the first thing you pay before anything else. then churches would not have to collect a tithe in the service, just the option fo donate more, or for people who chose not to register with a church and pay themselves. i would not mind that being taken out of me check in a tax. but i think it should me 10%, as that is the tithe percentage. in germany case, registered church members still have to tithe another 1 or 2 percent, depending on your location, to pay the full tithe amount. just my thoughts. i would NOT agree that is would be mandatory whether you go to church or not, but like that automation of it, myself, lol.

      Absolute non interesting if the laws are from the history wenn Hitler was in power. Kindergeld , autobahn, krankenkasse und VolksWagen are also from that time….
      Not everything from the period before 1945 was bad… 😉

      I met an Ayran Brotherhood biker who had, and wore an Adolph Hitler medal. I complimented him on some of his tattoos (Excellent artwork despite how this conversation ended up) and he thought I was a fellow traveler. The two problems were, I'm Jewish and I was waiting for a Black friend who was coming in from another club where we almost fought a bunch of bikers who sent a Prospect member to fight my friend.

      You might find the one or other law still in the books, that are automatically null and void as they go against the German constitution and it's principles.
      I've heard that at least until the 80's there was a law that put the death sentence on criminals that jumped onto moving cars with the intention to rob them. From a time when cars where not only slow enough, but also had running boards to jump onto. As the new constitution had no death sentence, the law was null and void and also superseded by other laws.
      But as it costs about as much time to abolish a law as it takes to make a new one, some laws can stay in the books much longer than they were needed.

    36. @immcguyver07 on

      Why not make the "church tax" it a "Community Organization Tax" and make it a required tax that everyone over a certain income cutoff must pay and just let the payers select any approved legitimate organization that does something for German citizens that aligns with their own values whether it is a church, a charity, an arts center, a school for poor kids, a disability or LGBT advocacy organization, a legal assistance charity, …

      One Nazi law active in Israel (sort of): recognition of the return rights of Jews for 3 generations. Because the Nazis recognised the Jews as 3 generations of Jews.
