Actually I should have put Ruhrgebiet first....you´ll be amazed how large this thing is.
6 mio. citizens altogether, 5 of Germany´s 20 biggest cities are part of Ruhrgebiet or "Der Pott" (the pot) as we people from the region call it. The region was known for its heavy industry (steel forges and coal mines) but has transformed to an important centre of banks and insurance companies. If you wonder where Germany´s wealth throughout the 20th century came from...this is the place.
"Ruhrgebiet" is the northern part of an even larger metropolitan region called "Rhein-Ruhr" which also includes Cologne and Düsseldorf.
We got it all, museums, historical towns (visit Hattingen near Essen to see Germany´s oldest intact houses),theatres,musical halls,football stadiums (visit a match of BVB09 Dortmund vs. FC Schalke04,when the region´s most popular teams clash together for a soccer fight you´ll never forget...),shopping centres and malls everywhere, clubs, great pubs,etc.
@cthun13 I love Mosel riesling. spent a few weeks there years ago... its where i fell in love with wine. great point to make and a great recommendation. thank you!
Hey Wolter, watch me on my roof top above Berlin and enjoy the amazing view. Thank you for your interesting opinion and view about Germany. Keep it up!
@BerlinGroove Don't fall! :) used to live in berlin and i miss the city so much. 3 years there was great. i am glad you found my opinoins interesting :) love germany and the great people. hope you will subscribe! all the best!
@Hhutuber Yeah, the ones that spend a lot of money and want to see the culture and the beautiful cities :) if you want to party like a rockstar then there is ruhrgebiet, cologne, hamburg, and berlin for some kick ass parties and clubs... does that help at all ;)
thanks for watching and commenting! please i hope you will subscribe! and give me some ideas for other places to visit so i can make a new video for "less" old people ;) visiting germany
Sorry it shouldn't sound offensive... I just wanna say that it's for young people more important to make unique experiences abroad. They could do a canyoning track in the Alps, visite the old mines under Dortmund, have a BBQ at the Elbstrand next to the Hamburg Habour ... or yeah party like a rockstar in Berlin.
...and, in my opinion, it's a must to visit a KZ memorial, like Dachau or Buchenwald. It's a important part of German history.
@Hhutuber No offense was taken :) I love having extra comments and ideas on here. I agree on the concentration camps. I have visited 6 in Germany and each one was a unique experience that I think everyone should check out. And the cultural experiences like you said are just as great for understanding today's Germany. These are definately things people living in germany should do. i was just shooting for tourists that will just be in germany a couple weeks and not sure what the main cities were
@flowfish86 No, I was spending lots of time there in the early and mid 2000s all before I started the Wolters World videos. I do have some pictures and videos from that time, but they would be "NSFW" if you know what i mean :)
@woltersworld I'm not sure if i want to know what kind of pictures and videos you've made in that time that would be NSFW - but the next time i accidently (*cough*) watch some german adult entertainment from that time i'll have a closer look at the male actor :D
May i ask where you've been in the Ruhrgebiet? I'm just curious because it's the place i live :)
Yeah,Görlitz is mostly underrated,or unknown.But its the only town in germany who has a undestroyed cityscape from the middleage to the 20th century...i was there in 1989 and in transit to poland in the early 90ies.......btw,nice blog :)
@EmiOranje Thank you :) he is in about 10 of our videos. I like his "help" with Learn German for kids video. He says Gummibaerchen as one of his 5 German words for traveling kids :)

@lieblingwiesel0815 You have to see it all before you can truly make a list of the best places :) I also like stralsund but that is another story :) thanks for watching and commenting!
@DerMohammadAlli Herlichen Gluckwunsch zum Geburtstag "the greatest" ich bin so froh dass du mir so ein gutes Kommentar geschrieben hast! Der "Thrilla in Manilla" war am besten Boxen. MfG!!! Deine Tochter kann auch gut boxen. Danke fuer die kommentar und bitte "Subscribe" und du kannst "du bist Scheisse" 700 mal schreiben :)
one place i'd advice you to visit is Hannover when the festive of the great garden (a lovely baroque garden) is up. lots of jugglers, musicians, standups, clowns and whatnot. more acts than you can watch in one go. your lil son will remember this forever.
it'll take place in summer, no date fixed yet but have a look at kleines-fest(dot)de
@Luuutz Have been there. It is beautiful in the gardens. Though my favorite place or at least the place i end up the most is Ernst August Brauhaus :) you should see my video on German Beer... I filmed it in the Brauhaus there in Hannover :)
Thanks again for commentingand watching! Alles gutes!
No.9 if you're visiting the Moselle River Valley don't forget to move to the Rhine Valley. In Koblenz the Moselle flows into the Rhine.Going upstream from Koblenz there's the world cultural heritage "Mittelrheintal" ending in Rüdesheim on one side and Bingen on the other side.There's no place in Germany where are more castles to see like here.You can see the "Marksburg" a complete retained castle, and also see the "Lorely rock" and the "Burg Pfalz"
Not to mention the beautiful isle of "Rügen" and "Hiddensee"; watch out for the chalk cliffside near a place calles "Sassnitz", go skinni-dipping (if you like to), the water isn't very salty there. And last but not least: Baden-Baden, the no. 1 spa in Germany. Irish-Roman baths (thermal water), great 19th century casino, great museums (Burda Museum), lots of castles, the 2nd largest opera house of Europe, beautiful and famous alley with great park, mediterranean atmosphere etc. ...
speaking of churches: go on google maps, type "Wieskirche" and check out the photos; it's a terrific church right in the middle of nowhere, southern Bavaria, near Neuschwanstein. The first time I went there I was surprised that there could be such an awesome church in the country.
I think, you have to put Jena on your visiting list! :)
It's an interesting mix of old buildings and new architecture. Cities in western Germany are pretty different to those in the east. Here you have a big part of young peoples, because in Jena are students from all over the world, which are one more reason for visiting!
@FS2004AviationPro Just wish I had put together my love/hate and top ten berlin for you before hand! i have a bunch of learning german videos filmed there and i lived there for almost 3 years. love the city! you will have a blast! go to the pergamon museum it is the best on museum island.
My Friend in Bonn wants to show me Lepzig & East Germany, He says it is Different from the West. Also I want to check out some places in the "Hartz" mountains... Not sure if that is how you spell it.
@FuneralDust666 Harz are great. i have some videos from the harz on here. you may have seen them when learing some german. Quedlinburg and Wernigerode are the two best. Goslar is right htere too and is super nice. We spent Christmas by there a couple years ago. i have been to the harz 4 times and LOVE it! you will have a blast
@Parkerkun I have the H&M and Zara ones. I had one and lost it so bought the other. Not sure which one this is though. i will check as it is the one i still own :)
THanks for commenting and having great fashion taste :)
@SchergeSatans SO does that mean you are required to eat like 10 kilos of marzipan a year? i just remember marzipan EVERYWHERE in Lubeck. Great town though. Happy holidays!
@NoizeBoiz I was joking there :) Yeah, I really like Bonn and the museums are amazing. I probably should have smushed Bonn with Cologne to have 11 cities in the top ten. Love Bonn do not worry about that! Thanks for commenting and watching!
You have good taste. I think you have seen much of Germany - so good choice. I don't like Berlin that much, but well - it is definitly interesting. People who choose only the big cities and have a list like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt , Stuttgart, Nuremberg in my opinion are very ignorant towords the many beautiful small cities (which are comparatively much better than the big cities if you compare to other countries) or have no clue of Germany!
I'm so glad you mentioned Quedlinburg, it's amazingly beautiful ant the prototype of a german, mideval town. But many Harz towns are beautiful, like wernigerode, or Goslar.
@XDGamersTravelerXD ja ich kann ein bisschen deutsch. nur ein paar worte... wie... ich... brauche... ein... Bier... bitte... oder...ich sterbe... hilf mir... :)
@XV4444 They are all worth it. and there are many more places too. so i know you will have a blast. and gain about 10 pounds from beer and various pork dishes :)
HE'S RIGHT...we 've been living in Germany , went to Bamberg x-mas market trip...it was awesome, very original, historic! nothing fake! MOST RECOMMENDED....smoked beer was nt our thing though....
@plasticboy81 Most people say that my intelligence is above the average. I would shift the word 'stupid' with 'tactless'. As for my comments below, it is an impulse of some negative feelings I feel towards Germans.
@eliaviel1 I'm not sure if you're just a troll or if you're really genuine, but I'm going to assume the latter. Please come to Germany and see for yourself what it is like. Prejudice and hatred will get you nowhere.
@anitasassassine I appreciate your comments. As for being a troll or genuine, I must admit I 'm the both. Being a troll does not necessarily disconnect me from saying what I really feel. When I read on youtube antisemitic comments from many people ( including Germans ) I become less and less tolerant and acceptive .
@eliaviel1 Granted. But, you know, when I read anti-German comments on youtube about how we're supposedly all Nazis and cold-hearted, inhumane and homicidal monsters, I get just a little bit irritated. Clearly none of you people have ever made an effort getting to know a German (or have come to Germany for that matter) which makes it even worse because you have no reason to dislike us other than some comments of a few lunatics on youtube.
Hey @woltersworld ! Though I already am a German, I love to watch your videos. :D
I, myself, live in a little city called "Darmstadt" (south of Frankfurt/Main). It's the official "city of Europe" (14 partner cities), city of science (mp3 was invented here, chemical element 112 was discovered...) and especially center of Art Noveau (pretty famous "Mathildenhoehe")! We also got the third biggest public festival of Germany, the "Heinerfest", here! If you ever have nothing to do, take a look! :D
@TheWheelie24 Heinerfest... sounds interesting. When does it happen? I just moved back to the US after 13 years in Europe and South America, but we are looking to head back to Europe in a couple years to work again and I want to get to more festivals like Heinerfest in order to make more culture videos (you can help me if you are there when I get back to Germany).
I am glad you love the videos. and thanks for watching, commenting and giving me suggestions. I always like to know more! :)
@woltersworld Thanks for your reply! I'd love to help you! :D
Heinerfest ('cause the "natives" in Darmstadt call each other "Die Heiner") is always around the weekend on the 1st Sunday in July.It's like a big fanfair in the city center, but with the title of "city of Europe" there's also lots of culture with people from the partner cities (Graz/Trondheim e.g.) visiting & doing something typical from their country.
Darmstadt's not Hamburg or Dresden of course, but worth to be seen once. :)
i like it so much that you like my city dresden! :))))) ich werde deine videos jetz öfter mal ansehen, sie helfen mir der englischen sprache mächtig zu werden. ich lerne noch. ;)
@Muhlineks I'm not a Hamburger. Too me, Bremen is not worth a visit, it's ordinary at best. But good for you, lots of people prefer their own little villages to great cities.
in comperison to Berlin, Hamburg is ordinary. It's often called the most boring big city in Germany. And Hamburg is the only federal state in Germany, which doesn't have a world cultural herritage.
@Muhlineks In comparison to Berlin, Hamburg is ordinary??? I have lived 5 years in both cities (I currently live in Berlin and will be moving back to Hamburg eventually) and I absolutely disagree. Since you seem to live in Bremen you should not be talking about things you have no idea of.
Thank you for uploading it. I like the medieval architechture of these citys too. But i was never in Quedlinburg. During watching the vid i wondered if you will have Lübeck on your list and so it was then. Being in Portugal now you have to face many differences i suppose. Don´t let the Fado make you too sad. But enjoy the sun and the food. Greetings from Hamburg
@honigdachsfan Thanks. Good old hamburg, that is a fun city. Have not been there for a couple years though. But always have had a good time while i was. Thanks for watching and commenting! mfg
Actually all bigger cities in Germany have places which are interesting, it depends on your interests!
If you look for big trade fairs you should visit Hanover or Frankfurt, if you like historical things you should visit towns like Dresden, Heidelberg, Würzburg, ... for night-life Berlin or Hamburg.
@Hhutuber I agree with you 100%, all the cities have quite a bit, but its best to decide what you are looking for in Germany, the "cute castle" Germany, or the "crazy night life' Germany or whatever. There are lots of options for anyone regardless of what kind of trip you are looking for.
@kirieomorphi ich habe finsterwalde gesehen und ICH HABE GEWUSST DASS ES DU WARST!!!! :) kisses from us too! Glad you found me online :) silly Kati. hope you are doing great! big kiss from portugal!
Actually, Germany has got SO huge amount of SUPERB medieval (and "post-medieval"!) cities - I do believe they get more than 200 hundred of those worth 2 B visited! He couldn't tell 'bout the next 16 places: Stuttgart, Passau, Dresden, Münster, Frankfurt/M, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Aachen, Wuppertal, Freiburg, Wiesbaden and much smaller Celle, Marburg, Baden-Baden, Wernigerode and... tiny Bernkastel-Kues(!). Mark my words: last 5 are the places where the wildest americam dreams 'bout Europe come true!
@Hollandia777 I agree there are tons of great places in Germany. I have been to over 70 towns/cities in Germany and i also love wernigerode, regensburg, nuremburg, rothenburg, celle, stralsund, lubeck, hamburg, hameln, heidelberg.. the list goes on and on. love it, lived there for 3 years and have been to germany every year since 1996. i love it and lets hope more people visit and enjoy it. thank you for writing and watching!
Used 2 live in Berlin (a city built 2 go mad 'bout!) Fürthermore, I crossed Ger-y many times - since it's a heart of Europe, 1 almost always has 2 do it 12 get some other country! :D). Their image is pretty overshadowed - with some exagerration! - by the WWII thus makin' it a bit underestimated place 4 those who travel to Europe. Plus - it's still Centr. Europe, not a Western1 (and that REALLY counts!) Anyway, I hope it's gonna B re-discovered, very soon. Perfection works always!
@rosen143roja not yet. that is probably about 3 to 5 years away. we are doing europe travel for the next year, then USA and South American travel 2011-2013 then we may be heading to Asia. but would love to go!
@PeterLustig0306 yeah... its tough... you should see some of my latest videos. i have had a few too many of the bacon beer (big old santa claus belly now)
@Schenkel93 my studies were up and i couldn't stay so i headed back to the US. Then i went to Lithuanian and Brazil and now I work in Portugal. Hopefullly one day I will head back to Germany with my whole family. Thank you for commenting!
the most americans are so stupid and uninterested in other countrys in world...a classmate had been for a few weeks in america,i think it was huntington....they asked him if hitler is still alive (65 years after ww2)..
but thats usa...they feel like god,are so proud,in school you just learn things about your country,you do not learn other languages...
hmm....i would like to visit usa one time,but i always stay in my city - Hamburg!
@Raddikcc= Hamburg is in Northern Germany. It is the second largest city in Germany, and it's port is the third largest port of Europe. The Beatles performed there in the sixties, and heavy metal was popular there in the Eighties. Not all of us are retarded. Stop judging a whole country because of a few bad apples. You don't see us stereotyping your country.
@Raddikcc= I studied German history in school, and fell in love with it. At first it was just Bavaria and Berlin, then I decided to see what else Germany has to offer.I like the model railway museum they got.
I am from germany and I am an exchange student in the USA right now. If you wanna visit Germany you actually dont need to learn German 'cause most of the tourist citys have English guids. So have fun there:)
@jpf72801 its not required. the germans speak english pretty well, just with a strong accent. if you are staying in bavaria by munich and such or near Cologne then you will have no problem with English, if you go to smaller towns then some german will help. I have a few videos on here for learning basic german and that may help, also my website has a lot of learning german help. just look in the more info part of the video and you will see the link there. have a great trip!
Well, I am German and here are my Top 5 German cities to visit:
1.Berlin
2."Ruhrgebiet"(actually that´s a region of many cities growing together...the only megacity in Germany)
3.Hamburg (Yes,home of hamburgers,just deal with it,yankees..)
4.Cologne (about 50km south of Ruhrgebiet, especially at "Karneval":more drunk people than at the Oktoberfest in Munich and they´re dressed up too.)
5.Munich (only at "Oktoberfest" as the city is beautiful but pretty much sucks when you´re not drunk...)

You have good taste. I think you have seen much of Germany - so good choice. I don't like Berlin that much, but well - it is definitly interesting. People who choose only the big cities and have a list like Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt , Stuttgart, Nuremberg in my opinion are very ignorant towords the many beautiful small cities (which are comparatively much better than the big cities if you compare to other countries) or have no clue of Germany!

I'm so glad you mentioned Quedlinburg, it's amazingly beautiful ant the prototype of a german, mideval town. But many Harz towns are beautiful, like wernigerode, or Goslar.

@anitasassassine I appreciate your comments. As for being a troll or genuine, I must admit I 'm the both. Being a troll does not necessarily disconnect me from saying what I really feel. When I read on youtube antisemitic comments from many people ( including Germans ) I become less and less tolerant and acceptive .
eliaviel1 4 months ago
@eliaviel1 Granted. But, you know, when I read anti-German comments on youtube about how we're supposedly all Nazis and cold-hearted, inhumane and homicidal monsters, I get just a little bit irritated. Clearly none of you people have ever made an effort getting to know a German (or have come to Germany for that matter) which makes it even worse because you have no reason to dislike us other than some comments of a few lunatics on youtube.

Hey @woltersworld ! Though I already am a German, I love to watch your videos. :D
I, myself, live in a little city called "Darmstadt" (south of Frankfurt/Main). It's the official "city of Europe" (14 partner cities), city of science (mp3 was invented here, chemical element 112 was discovered...) and especially center of Art Noveau (pretty famous "Mathildenhoehe")! We also got the third biggest public festival of Germany, the "Heinerfest", here! If you ever have nothing to do, take a look! :D
TheWheelie24 5 months ago
@TheWheelie24 Heinerfest... sounds interesting. When does it happen? I just moved back to the US after 13 years in Europe and South America, but we are looking to head back to Europe in a couple years to work again and I want to get to more festivals like Heinerfest in order to make more culture videos (you can help me if you are there when I get back to Germany).
I am glad you love the videos. and thanks for watching, commenting and giving me suggestions. I always like to know more! :)
woltersworld 5 months ago
@woltersworld Thanks for your reply! I'd love to help you! :D
Heinerfest ('cause the "natives" in Darmstadt call each other "Die Heiner") is always around the weekend on the 1st Sunday in July.It's like a big fanfair in the city center, but with the title of "city of Europe" there's also lots of culture with people from the partner cities (Graz/Trondheim e.g.) visiting & doing something typical from their country.
Darmstadt's not Hamburg or Dresden of course, but worth to be seen once. :)

in comperison to Berlin, Hamburg is ordinary. It's often called the most boring big city in Germany. And Hamburg is the only federal state in Germany, which doesn't have a world cultural herritage.

@Muhlineks In comparison to Berlin, Hamburg is ordinary??? I have lived 5 years in both cities (I currently live in Berlin and will be moving back to Hamburg eventually) and I absolutely disagree. Since you seem to live in Bremen you should not be talking about things you have no idea of.

Actually all bigger cities in Germany have places which are interesting, it depends on your interests!
If you look for big trade fairs you should visit Hanover or Frankfurt, if you like historical things you should visit towns like Dresden, Heidelberg, Würzburg, ... for night-life Berlin or Hamburg.
Hhutuber 1 year ago
@Hhutuber I agree with you 100%, all the cities have quite a bit, but its best to decide what you are looking for in Germany, the "cute castle" Germany, or the "crazy night life' Germany or whatever. There are lots of options for anyone regardless of what kind of trip you are looking for.

Actually, Germany has got SO huge amount of SUPERB medieval (and "post-medieval"!) cities - I do believe they get more than 200 hundred of those worth 2 B visited! He couldn't tell 'bout the next 16 places: Stuttgart, Passau, Dresden, Münster, Frankfurt/M, Düsseldorf, Bonn, Aachen, Wuppertal, Freiburg, Wiesbaden and much smaller Celle, Marburg, Baden-Baden, Wernigerode and... tiny Bernkastel-Kues(!). Mark my words: last 5 are the places where the wildest americam dreams 'bout Europe come true!

Their image is pretty overshadowed - with some exagerration! - by the WWII thus makin' it a bit underestimated place 4 those who travel to Europe. Plus - it's still Centr. Europe, not a Western1 (and that REALLY counts!) Anyway, I hope it's gonna B re-discovered, very soon. Perfection works always!

@Raddikcc= Hamburg is in Northern Germany. It is the second largest city in Germany, and it's port is the third largest port of Europe. The Beatles performed there in the sixties, and heavy metal was popular there in the Eighties. Not all of us are retarded. Stop judging a whole country because of a few bad apples. You don't see us stereotyping your country.

I have a few videos on here for learning basic german and that may help, also my website has a lot of learning german help. just look in the more info part of the video and you will see the link there. have a great trip!
