Top Comments of this video!! :3
3:01 she chose one the youngest castle in Germany. Neuschwanstein is not a medieval castle, it was built around 1860. Not every castle must be from the Middle Ages and you can easily tell by the style of the architecture. For the video in general I expected a little bit more than bread, castles and sausages. We, the whole world, already know these things about Germany basically stereotypes. ๐

2:24 Burg Hohenzollern
Rebuilt on the ruins of the castle (the ancestral home of the House of Hohenzollern). 1852-1867. Only the St. Michael Chapelle is a remainder from older times.
Construction of Schloss Neuschwanstein started in 1869. Wasn't finished when Ludwig II died 1887. The project was halted and only essential parts were finally completed.
The few remains of the two small medieval castles there (Hinterhohenschwangau and Vorderhohenschwangau) had to go. The castle is modelled after the Wartburg castle. Plus a lot of King Ludwig II's fantasies.
Quite many castle were rebuild in the 19th century. More or less accurate to their predecessors. Castle Romanticism.
Castle Romanticism is however considerably older. in 1577 the wealthy Fugger merchant family built a "hunting lodge" in the style of a medieval castle from the Staufer dynasty times (~ 1100) on the ruins of Niederalfingen castle (which was from those times). Also this was already an idealisation. Like: a castle needs a draw bridge. The old castle didn't had one. And at the location it was finally built it had not really any defensive function. But in 1577 castles were anyway obsolete in military terms. Some were however converted to small fortresses with canons.

Just because there is no speed limit does not mean that the people go crazy and go as fast what the car can. We drive responsible and at the end of the day you pay on the petrol station for every high speed drive. The faster you go the more expensive it is. So you think twice if it's worth to go pedal to the metal.

Schloss (Schloss always indicates a "palace" in that it was build or refurbished as a residence and doesn't serve a defensive function) Neuschwanstein is relatively new and sometime from the 19th century (so it already had running water and electricity). If you want to see a real medieval Burg (castle) I'd recommend Burg Eltz.
Contrary to Spain which after the reconquista didn't face a lot of direct invasions and warfare, we Germans always had vulnerable borders, so there are thousands of castles and ruins in our border regions, especially in mine which is close to France. E.g. my town (16k inhabitants) has a knightly castle ruin on a dormant volcano overlooking our area, a town wall and a town castle (in which nowadays my old elementary school is housed). On average we were at war with France every 20 years in the last 500 years (plus all the internal wars, like the entire 17th century), so every town and most villages needed a place to retreat to when the grands of Europe decided to play their games for power in our fields again

2:58 Of all German castles, Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the youngest (~1870) and was never completed. In my opinion there are much more beautiful and older castles. My favorite is Eltz Castle.

When ๐ซ๐ฎ me and my family went on our autumn holidays to the ๐ช๐ธ๐ฎ๐จ Canaries in the late 90s and the early 2000s, the majority of the taxis seemed to be Mercedes. However, when I did my Erasmus exchanges in Granada 2013 and Madrid 2016, things had changed and the majority of taxis were then Toyota Priuses. ๐ค
Although the taxis weren't cheap for a poor student, I frequently hopped onboard one (Madrid is huge) and had conversations with the drivers which improved not only my skills in the Spanish language but I learnt about the culture too. That would not have happened had I chosen the bus or the metro instead (as someone from the countryside, I didn't even feel tempted to try out the latter, to be fair). ๐ค๐ค
