This Video is quite good to get some impressions about germany. Greetings ✌️
On May 8, 1945, World War II ended in Europe with the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. Germany was divided into 4 occupation zones. US Zone, British Zone, French Zone and Soviet Zone. The capital was also divided into four sectors. The three western sectors and the Soviet zone. In May 1949 the “Federal Republic of Germany” was separated. In October 1949 the “German Democratic Republic” was founded in response to the separation of the 3 western zones. The GDR bore almost all of the reparations costs after the war, and West Germany was rebuilt with huge sums of money from the USA. For this reason too, the West was doing better economically and many people left the GDR. There were also fears of a new war between West and East. These two reasons and others led to the securing of the state border between West Berlin and Berlin, the capital of the GDR on August 13, 1961. With the anti-socialist counter-revolution on November 9, 1989 and the annexation of the GDR on October 3, 1990, the "Berlin Wall" was created. the anti-fascist protective wall disposed of.
I would like to invite you to Germany, my homeland
Neuschwanstein is a tourist trap, espacially for US-Americans. There are thousands of more exciting castles.
Nice reaction. Thumbs up! 🙂
The Berlin Wall was only a tiny part of the "Iron Curtain", that divided whole Europe in two halfs with a deadly fence. The so called "Inner German Border" was a much bigger "wall". It prevented the East German citizens to flee from the communist/socialist east German state. The GDR (DDR in German).
Without watching a documentary about the Cold War you will not understand the (compared to the whole inner German border) relative tiny Berlin Wall.
A dangerous "Iron Curtain" made of mine fields, shooting automatons and a deep fortified and guarded "fence" through the middle of Germany. It was errected by socialist East Germany to prevent the people fleeing the "workers paradise" of communist-socialist East Germany.
There are many good and compact documentaries about that on YouTube. I can recommend some via email, if you like.

The Reeperbahn with its vibrant nightlife and restaurants. End of description… :-))
Yeah, one can describe the most famous and infamous red light district of Germany in that manner, too…😎
Where did we get all the money to build it? I feel flattered that Germany likes so much with its cities and landscapes. However, these things you see here have been created over many centuries. This was not built overnight by a government. Due to the fact that Germany was a puzzle of many, many small states (over 200) for most of its existence, many castles, palaces and other sights have been built here in a very dense area. For a long time, there was no major political centre of power in Germany. But a lot of small capitals and small cultural centers. Centralization did not come until the 19th century, when Germany united for the first time in 1871 to form a modern nation state. But today's Federal Republic of Germany also consists of 16 federal states. After all, federalism has always defined German culture and history. But, as I read today, Nigeria also consists of several federal states. We have something in common!
The Berlin Wall was a heavily guarded and deadly wall on the border between East and West Berlin between 1961 and 1989. During the Cold War, not only Europe and Germany were divided into two hostile blocs. Berlin was located in the middle of the GDR (East Germany) and had also been a divided city since the end of the 2nd World War. West Berlin belonged to West Germany (Federal Republic of Germany), while East Berlin became the capital of the GDR ("German Democratic Republic"). But the GDR was by no means democratic, but belonged to the communist Eastern Bloc, which was led by the Soviet Union.
Now, however, West Berlin was a small piece of the West in the GDR. As more and more East Germans fled there, the GDR built a wall entirely around West Berlin in August 1961. Behind the wall were landmines, a ditch and soldiers to shoot with orders if someone fled.
About 200 people died trying to cross the wall. The border crossings were only allowed to be crossed by visitors from the West. Not the other way around! GDR citizens were not allowed to go to the West. This was ensured by the "Iron Curtain" (the border system that ran through all of Europe – including Germany). And on a small scale, the Berlin Wall around West Berlin.
But in the autumn of 1989, a revolution against the regimes finally took place in many countries of Eastern Europe. ALSO IN THE GDR! In the GDR, it was a non-violent revolution through protests and demonstrations, which finally culminated on November 9, 1989 with the fall of the Berlin Wall, when the border guards gave in to the demonstrating masses without a single shot being fired. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, the way to German reunification was open.The GDR joined the Federal Republic. This reunification of Germany was completed on 3 October 1990 with the necessary consent of the victors of the Second World War. Since then, October 3 has been the German national holiday.
