I have my youngest son in the Army in Vilsec for the past 3 years and he married a German girl a few months ago…we got to meet her when they came to visit this past summer and my youngest daughter has been there for a year at Ramstein AFB…she’s engages to a super sweet German Police officer. So I’m curious about your culture. I will be visiting in the summer meeting the in-laws ❤🇺🇸🇩🇪

When my husband was in the US Army, we were stationed in Germany twice. Our first time he was in Karlsruhe and we lived in Kieselbronn near Pfortzheim (I probably spelled that wrong), and we went to Stuttgart to the military base there for medical care and for shopping. We were there for 4 years, from 1985 until 1989. Our second time we were in Mannheim, and my younger daughter was born at the American hospital in Heidelberg. We lived there for 3 years, from 1994 until 1997. We loved our time in Germany, and spent time going on volksmarches and touring castles and ruins, and going to local festivals. We went camping at Berchtestgaden (spelling?), spent time sightseeing in Munich, and lots of smaller cities along the way. We have many fun memories from our time in Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria. Some day we hope to go back and visit again, maybe do a family vacation with our 3 adult children and show our daughter where she was born.

06:14 "let's boil the ocean" ! German humor is soooo underrated. I have watched all the series of B, B, B-W and love them.
You have to take the whole thing with a massive pinch of salt but the message is very clear.
Your review of this 'informercial' is excellent, thanks Feli.

My maternal grandmother was born in Württemberg before the present state was formed. She came to the US at the very beginning of the 20th century. I have photos of relatives in Imperial German Uniforms. (Württemberg regiments) My son spent a summer at the University of Freiburg and met my mother's cousin. He was the only one to return to his village from WWII. I have visited a number of cities in Baden-Württemberg as well. An Interesting presentation, indeed.

My wife is from a Swiss village about 27km (17 miles) from the border with Baden-Württemberg, and went to school a literal 10-minute walk from Konstanz. I've thus spent a lot of time in Baden-Württemberg, as groceries are WAY cheaper than in Switzerland, but also just visiting places and eating delicious kebabs. If any of y'all ever have a chance to visit Lake Constance/Bodensee and the area around Konstanz, do it!

I lived in Baden-Württemberg for 3 years in the 1990s. It really is beautiful, with lots of farmland and forest in addition to the cities and towns. One thing which sticks out to me --- the planned town development concept, where housing is built only in areas defined as towns and cities, and houses are not allowed to sprawl on the edges of urban areas. You can drive for several miles without seeing a house, then a village appears with housing distinctly ending at the village limits. Farmland is protected along with forested areas. This is so different from the US.

My great grandfather was sent with his brothers as teenagers to America from Stuttgart in the early 1890's to escape the anti-Catholic persecution of the Kulturkampf. He was very proud of being Schwabian. I've been lucky enough to have visited Baden-Wurtemmburg several times and picked up a little Swabisch dialect to supplement my German. It is both a beautiful and interesting area for tourists. After two world wars I have never been able to find any living relatives there..
