Unfortunately, since there is so much more to "Deutschland" - as the local populace calls it. Hence, here are the most important facts about Germany that you were missing.

Letting that Lederhosen-dude dance while showing Berlin-Pictures is somehow like letting the cowboy from Texas dance in the city of Boston, Massachusetts up north. In fact, west-german culture in North Rhine Westphalia is more like in the Netherlands, in the state of Brandenburg you'll find many influences from Czechs and Poles, up north in Schleswig-Holstein you could wrongly assume that you are in Denmark and eventually southern Bavaria you could easy pass as an Austrian.
German cultures are much more than just Lederhosen, Bratwurst and beer.
In case someone is wondering why there is that image of Germany in the first place: Because after WWII, US-Troops stayed mainly in southern-Germany, e.g. Bavaria and reported the south-German culture back home to their relatives. If - for example - the US would have gotten the northern parts of germany after war, we would hear about "Strandkörbe" "Rote Grütze", windmills and "Moin" in about every Germany related Youtube-Video.

I see the effort you put in this video. And in general this is a great video giving a good summary of Germany. However there is one thing I am missing here. Everything from Lederhosen, Bratwurst, Sauerkraut, Schnitzel, Bretzel (yes, that one of the German spellings of pretzels), Oktoberfest and so on, hardly belongs to German tradition. This mostly is Bavarian or in general southern German. Culture around Germany differs a lot in many ways. A someone from northern Germany being associated internationally with Bavarian culture is a little bit like an someone from Texas being obsessed with Sasquatch and Hockey an giving someone from Minnesota a headline „Florida man…“ style.

Yeah, just one thing. Germany has the second largest population in Europe. After Russia. Turkeys tiny part that is on the European continent only counts for roughly 10 million people.

7:44 no, germany wasn't the aggressor in the first one, that should be common knowledge by now, it just had to accept the war guilt in the peace treaty because it lost

Though the part about 66% christian might be a little missleading, as most germans would probably say, that they are "culturaly christian" (you know celebrating holidays like christmas or easter). But when asked about their true believes, most would probably answer that they don't believe in god.

As a German, i'd like to note here that part of our reputation for engineering things just better than everyone else is the apprenticeship system that is practiced in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and nowhere else, really.
You know how companies always seem to be asking you for 3 years experience as a beginner? Yeah, you don't have that in Germany. In Germany, these 3 years of experience are part of a standardized vocational education that is recognized and formalized by the state (Though you'll usually get that experience in your average company), and this apprenticeship has standardized contents, including a country-wide final exam. Not only that, this education will often take place both at a company and in a vocational school at the same time.
This is a remnant of the guild system that used to be common place in Germany. Now, the guilds were this entity throughout the medieval age where workers in each city would organize. The guild would do things like set the value of certain goods, implement standards by which to abide, such as regarding training of apprentices, or quality of goods, and enforce these things, too. If you got a complete education, you would receive an earring that marked you as a member of this guild. If you then broke the rules (such as, for instance, ripping someone off), expulsion would mean that, besides the fact that you were no longer allowed to practice that job, a member of the guild would rip this ring out of your ear, thus creating a scar that marked you as untrustworthy. It is thought that the word "Schlitzohr" (Slit ear) derives from this practice.
Of course, most of these practices have all but died out by now, but the standardized education aspect has carried on into the modern age. And it's not just engineering related things either. Anything from a carpenter to a hairdresser to even certain office jobs comes with this kind of education (though you don't need to have these educations to be allowed to practice these jobs per se, but have fun finding an employer who will pick a self taught technical drawer over one with official, state-sanctioned qualifications)

A comment on the religion part. I don't know how it's handled in other countries but most people I know are just to lazy to officially leave the church. In the small around 5.000 people village I live in it's only the old people who are actually religious.
Once you are 18 you can just go to your city Townhall and leave the church but that's a somewhat annoying burocratic process and it's never actually taught in school how you handle such official appointments.
To anyone who actually read this: have a great day.

important note: the anthem is not the "Deutschlandlied". its only the third verse of the song. please dont mix that up, because the first verse is strongly connected to the third reich. and nobody calls it Deutschlandlied. we only say "Nationalhymne", which just means national anthem.

Very nice video :)
However my pride as a dutch citizen compells me to complain that there is a small error: at 7:07 they say "the dutch" when it should be "the germans". Fun fact in the netherlands we call germany "Duitsland" which is linguistically very similar to "Deutschland".

Something about technology from Germany: The service module of the Orion space ship which just reached the moon was built at Airbus in Bremen.

Awesome video! :) Just one small thing I noticed. Germany did not reunify after the Soviet Union broke down since the reunification was 1990 and the end of the SU was 1991. The GDR wasn't simply capable of being a country anymore, especially after the Berlin Wall came down in 89. It struggled before already but this was more or less the push over the edge I'd say.

Germany reunited BEFORE the Soviet Union fell apart!

8:00 "Perfectly engineered... well... anything."

The German currency before the introduction of the € was Deutsche Mark or Mark not Deutschmark. the E at the end of German words isnt silent.
Turkey isnt in Europe, yes its capital is but culturally it is not European.
Overall there is a fair ammount of small mistakes in this video, not a tradegy but should be looked into. Overall grade "satisfactory"

1:52 thank u for using the city Heidelberg there! I m living a happy life here and I am glad that it gets at least a little bit of screentime in an international video. It’s a beautiful city with stunning nature and buildings :)
I can recommend everyone to visit this city ❤
But for now have a nice day and great video 👍

I lived in Düsseldorf NRW for 17 years, moved to Zaragoza in Spain in May this year. Although I do miss Düsseldorf this city could be its twin. One thing I will say is it is hard to make German friends as they keep their circles tight, but once you're in your in! I do miss, as I call it home, Köln, Essen and even the short ride to Holland. I miss the food to. The things I don't miss are Karneval and football, as I worked in the Altstadt. But other than that it was the bast place I've ever lived.

Nice Video, but as a german I have to complain about the statemant that germany reunited after the dissolution of the soviet union. In fact the germans were in 1989 the first ones to protest against the socialism governance and even thought Germany reunited in 1990 the wall fell 1989. So you could say that the eastern Germany started the process of the dissolution of the soviet union. So Germany was actually one of the most important countries during the cold war

I really liked the video, the only thimg that bugged me a little was that you said, that germany was the agressor in WW1 and two in WW2 of course, no discussion around that, but the first world war wasnt caused ba the germans, they were "forced" into it by a treaty they had with Östereich who got into a war

6:01 I'm not sure if this numbers are correct. Because Germany is one of the countries with the most unaffliated people in europe (and the world).
Its mathematically very unlikely, given that east germany has roughly 1/5 of germany's population, but has barely any religious people. This would mean, that west germany at best can only have around 10% non religious people, which would be extremly low on european standard.
