What's Germany Good at Besides Soccer? Lots of Things!

Yahoo Travel byAdam Groffman Jul 15, 2014

Germany — World Cup winner and more (Photo: Thinkstock)

After 10 years of hard work, and 24 years since a previous win, Germany is once again the soccer “Weltmeister” (world champion). But Germany is so much more than football. From sausage to beer, movies to fashion, here's where Germany is good — nay, great! — and the undeclared world champion in many areas besides soccer.

Beer
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the country that hosts the world’s largest beer festival (looking at you, Oktoberfest) also produces some of the world’s best brews. Each German state is famous for their own local beer, but Erdinger Brewery in Munich is one of the best (and offers a three-hour tour and tasting). Other breweries we like include Augustiner Bräuerei and Radeberger.

Making Movies

What do movies like The Book Thief, The Monuments Men, Grand Budapest Hotel and Inglourious Basterds have in common? They were all filmed in Germany at the famous Babeslberg Studios. Germany’s cinema history goes back to the early 20^th century with such famous actresses as Marlene Dietrich, and countless award-winning movies and cinematic innovations. It’s possible to tour the Babelsberg Studios or, for history film buffs, the Film and Television Museum in Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz is equally interesting and enlightening.

Fashion

Besides being the longtime home to Hugo Boss and Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion industry is alive and well in Germany with strong but elegant styles. Hamburg is home to cutting-edge contemporary designers including Jil Sander.  Check out the Karoviertel (especially Markstraße) for small, boutique designers in Hamburg.


Black Forest Cake … Yum!. (Photo: Jutta/Flickr)

Cakes

There’s nothing more German than a bit of Kaffee und Kuchen (coffee and cake) in the afternoon. And with a deep-rooted love for bread, it’s no surprise that the Germans know how to make a good cake, too. In the south it’s all about the Black Forest Cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) — a delicious layered chocolate confection with cherries, whipped cream, and liquor. Visit Freiburg, Lake Titisee and Feldberg (all small towns in the Black Forest) to find the best cafes and restaurants serving this creation.

Cars

From Volkswagen to Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, Germans know how to make a good car. Stuttgart is Germany’s unofficial auto capital and the Mercedes-Benz Museum there is one of the best museums you’ll ever visit. If you’re not in the area to buy a new set of wheels, most German car manufacturers offer factory tours.    (Why did the author forget Audi? --rsb)

Christmas

Nobody does Christmas like the Germans do. With world-renowned markets (including one of the most famous in Nuremberg) and enough baubles and nutcrackers throughout the country, Germany makes the cold winters warm. Just make sure you try Glühwein (mulled wine). Visit Nuremberg, Dresden, and Berlin for the country’s best Christmas markets (or Weihnachtsmarktë).

Art

From the contemporary to the quirky, Berlin is home to hundreds of independent art galleries and the city attracts new artists each year. Visit Berlin during the annual Gallery Weekend (held each May for the past 10 years) for a quick glimpse into Berlin’s art world.

Sausages

In Germany, it’s all about the wurst. Any public event in Germany (even soccer) sees countless sausage vendors, and we’ve all got our favorites. When you can buy a decent sausage on the street for under $2 in central Berlin from one of the countless grillwalkers, you know you’re onto something special. From the Thüringer Bratwurst popular across the country (and at every public fair) to the Weisswurst (white sausage) popular in the south, each region of Germany is as proud of their sausage as they are of their local beer.

Castles

You’re probably familiar with the castle made famous by Walt Disney, but did you know it’s actually inspired by an actual castle — where else, but in Germany? Neuschwanstein Castle can be visited easily on a day trip from Munich, but there are hundreds of other castles and palaces across Germany. Hohenzollern Castle in the German state of Baden-Württemberg is often cited as one of the country’s prettiest (and it’s still owned by the Prussian royalty), but Sanssouci in Potsdam and Wartburg Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage site) are equally famous and picturesque.

Driving Fast

Where else in the world can you get in a car and travel at speeds over 100 mph? Germany’s federal highway system, the Autobahn, is famous for its unposted speed limits along long stretches of the highway. It’s not uncommon to spot Porsches and other racers speeding down the highway. Want to try it yourself (with caution, of course)? German-owned Sixt Rent-A-Car has autos for hire across the country and in most metropolitan areas.

Picturesque Small Towns

There’s a reason so many cities in America have their own German villages. Forget the East German styles of Berlin and the Old Cities of Munich and Dresden — in Germany it’s all about the small towns. Hamlets like Freiburg and Bremen are certainly pretty, but visit even smaller places like Schmalkaden in the middle of the Thuringian mountains or the lakeside town of Konstanz (am Bodensee) on the border between Germany, Switzerland, and Austria for even more picturesque views. And some great outdoor activities, too.

Die Autobahn -- mal sehen und erleben

See and experience
-->

When driving on the German Autobahn, one realizes that auto racing is not confined to famous race tracks like the Nürburgring. Germans, and the Austrians and Swiss, like to drive fast, and they have been in love with their cars ever since Carl Benz (1844-1927) invented the first practical motor car in 1885. The company formed by the 1926 merger of the two firms that Benz and fellow automobile inventor Gottlieb Daimler (1834-1900) had created would become the industrial giant Daimler-Benz AG...

Driving on Germany’s autobahns is not always a high-speed experience. An Umleitung (detour) like this one is a common sight, especially in the summer construction season. PHOTO © Hyde Flippo

... [Until 2006,] Germany was the third largest producer of automobiles in the world (exceeded only by Japan and the United States).* [Germany is] a country that takes its driving very seriously. This is understandable when you realize that a German driver’s license costs [over $2000], after a minimum of 25-45 hours of professional instruction plus 12 hours of theory, and such a license is good for life. [As of 2013, the German license must conform to the EU term of 10 or 15 years. German licences issued before 2013 will become invalid by 2033 and must be replaced by the new European (EU) driver’s license.]

Cars marked “Fahrschule” (driving school) mean a student driver may be at the wheel. However, you don’t have too much to worry about; in typical thorough German fashion, Fahrschule cars are equipped with dual controls so that the instructor can take over any time the student gets into serious trouble. The practical, on-the-road training time has to include night driving, autobahn experience, in-town driving, and a multitude of other driving situations. The test for a German driver’s license includes questions about the mechanical aspects of an automobile, in addition to the usual examination on the rules of the road...

 

German and European traffic law has a few variations that North American drivers may not always be aware of. For instance, it is illegal to pass on the right on the Autobahn. Slow moving vehicles must always move to the right, and faster vehicles may pass on the left only. The only exception is when both lanes are moving slowly (under 60 km per hour, 35 mph), as in the frequent traffic jams (Verkehrsstaus). In such cases drivers are allowed to pass on the right, but at a speed no higher than 20 km per hour faster than the traffic in the left lane.
You will see speed limit signs (round) posted much less often in Germany than in the U.S. But German drivers are expected to know the law. In cities and towns, the speed limit (Tempolimit) is 50 km/h (31 mph) unless otherwise posted. In the last decade or so, the “30-Zone” has gained great popularity. These are residential areas with a posted 30 km/h (18 mph) speed limit to protect children and pedestrians who live in the neighborhood. On normal two-lane highways the limit is 100 km/h (62 mph). Cars towing trailers must stay under 80 km/h (50 mph). The autobahn has a “suggested” speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph), a suggestion widely ignored by many Mercedes and Porsche drivers. They may suddenly appear out of nowhere, close behind, blinking their brights to move you out of their way. Not even $8.00-per-gallon gasoline [as of 2012] can make most German drivers slow down.

In Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, children under the age of 13 are not allowed to sit in the front seat of any vehicle that has a back seat. Seat belts are mandatory for the driver and all passengers in the car, front and back.

Most of Europe, including Germany, has a .05 (0.5 pro mille) blood alcohol limit for drunk driving. ... In former East Germany the legal limit for driving under the influence was zero until 1992. German law deals harshly with driving under the influence. Violators may lose their license on the first offense and must pay high fines...

It is rare to see a dented, smoking junk car in Germany. This is not just due to typical German neatness or pride of ownership. It also has to do with a German institution that is as feared and respected as is perhaps the Internal Revenue Service in the U.S. The Technische Überwachungsverein or TÜV is an agency that must approve the roadworthiness of German cars and trucks. Without a TÜV (pronounced TOOF) sticker, a vehicle can’t be licensed or driven. Cars have been known to fail TÜV inspection for having a single rust spot or dent in a critical location. A broken light or a malfunctioning exhaust system would be obvious reasons for rejection. A popular bumper sticker seen on older German vehicles likely to run afoul of TÜV reads, “Bis dass der TÜV uns scheidet.” (“Till TÜV us do part.”)...

Ich bin aus Hürth - Wise Guys

       ... Der Ort, wo ich wohne..

Was ist es mit der Stadt, Hürth?  Hier noch ein Lied über Hürth... wo es total schön sein muss.  Aber warum lachen die Zuschauer?

Hürth, meine Perle



Songtext: Ich Bin Aus Hürth 

Jo – Jo!   Jo, ihr Checker, 

Hier kommt Aggro-Hürth wieder auf den Plan.
Ja, ja!  Jetzt gibt’s was auf die Ohr'n – 

Pass auf! Jo!

Der Ort, wo ich wohne, da gibt es gar kein Ghetto.
Da gibt es einen Rewe und 'nen Lidl und 'nen Netto.
Da gibt es einen Bäcker, da gibt es einen Aldi.
Frau Schmitz hat einen Dackel und ich glaube, der heißt „Waldi“.

Der Ort, wo ich wohne, und alle Leute kenn',
ist leider so, dass da nur selten Mülltonnen verbrenn'.
Das Leben ist ok, was ich immer „mittel“ fand.
Ey, Scheiße, Mann, ich glaub ich komm vom Mittelstand.

Ich bin aus Hürth!
Und ich will, dass man das immer sieht und spürt.
Ich bin aus Hürth! Ich bin aus Hürth!
Das ist der Ort, der wo mein Herz total berührt.
Ich bin aus Hürth!

Jo, jo – Passt auf – Schnallt euch an!

Ey, der Ort, wo ich wohne, da gibt es nette Leute.
Die Frauen nennt man „Frauen“, und keiner nennt sie „Bräute“.
Die Männer nennt man „Männer“, und keiner nennt sie „Macker“,
Frau Schmitz wohnt gegenüber, von dem Kartoffel-Acker.

Der Ort, wo ich wohne, da seh' ich keine Gangster.
Da seh' ich nur 'n paar Kühe und die Stute und den Hengst da.
Ich wär' so gern ein Gangster, und so weiter und sofort.
Ey, Scheiße, Mann, ich komm' vom falschen Ort!

REFRAIN

Jo, jo, - Aggro Hürth

Ey, der Ort, wo ich wohne, da gibt es keinen Knast.
Da wird man nur mal aggro, wenn man mal den Bus verpasst.
Da kann man kein' erschießen und da kann man kein' ermorden.
Frau Schmitz sagt immer nur zu mir: „Mensch, bist du groß geworden.“

Der Ort, wo ich wohne, liegt an der Autobahn.
Wenn ich 'ne Tüte brauche, muss ich nach Holland fahr'n.
Ich leih' mir dann ein Auto, den Golf von meinem Vater.
Und ich geh' auch total gern ins Theater.

REFRAIN! 

Ich bin aus Hürth! Ich bin aus Hürth! Ich bin aus Hürth! 

    (aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth)
Ich bin aus Hürth! Aus Hürth, aus Hürth!Ich bin aus Hürth! 

    (aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth, aus Hürth)
