In this brief video you can find seven little known facts about Germany. Although it has caused many troubles in the past, Germany has always been a major leader and model for Europeans. A trip to Germany will give you a good sense of beauty, order and diligence.
More information about the video content bellow:
1. Trabant, the name given to East Germany’s answer to Audi and Mercedes Benz, literally means “satellite”. It was intended as a tribute to the first-ever satellite - the Soviet Sputnik, which went into space in 1957.
2. Wherever you are, if the temperature is beginning to sweat you out, you’ll think of opening a window to let some air in. But if you did this in Germany, expect to hear “Es zieht!” (There’s a draft!) and watch the people stare at you while someone immediately shuts that open window. Germans believe that if you’ve felt a breeze from an open window, you can probably get flu, colds, pneumonia or even clogged arteries.
3. You might think that Sunday is the perfect day of the week to check some things off your to-do list - mow the lawn, vacuum the carpets or put a new shelf on the wall. But put the hammer and drill away. In Germany, Sunday is "Ruhetag," or "quiet day." Shops will be closed everywhere and neighbors will complain if your noise disturbs their resting day.
4. Berlin, the capital of Germany, is 9 times bigger than Paris and has more bridges than Venice. In WW2 it was almost completely destroyed, then rebuilt, then split in half between the soviets and the allies.
5. Germany made its final reparations payment from the WWI Treaty of Versailles in 2010. Germany's debt from WWI was equivalent to 96,000 tons of gold
6. Germany, Denmark, Iceland and other countries have official rules about what a baby can be named.
7. 1% of Germany's population is genetically immune to HIV. Some people have a genetic mutation that basically closes the path of HIV into the immune system! This mutation is more common in Germany, where it is estimated that 1% of people have it.
