They\u2019re drinking a lot of beer, eating Bavarian veal sausage and sauerkraut, and always wearing leather trousers and dirndl dresses. Although this is not a typical German person, you can often find people dressed like this in Bavaria, especially during the Oktoberfest!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Oktoberfest is where the rumors about Germans are coming from and at this time of the year, it\u2019s really escalating in Munich, Bavaria. During the time of the Oktoberfest, the stereotypes become true. It\u2019s the world\u2019s largest Volksfest with more than six million visitors from around the world. In the 16 to 18 days from mid-September until the beginning of October large quantities of beer are consumed.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the visitors are dressed in leather trousers or the dirndl dress and enjoy many different attractions like Rides, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s, and shops where you can buy typical food like Bavarian veal sausage or pretzels.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Hofbrauhaus am Platzl in Munich\" class=\"wp-image-8834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-520x348.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich.jpg\" alt=\"Visit Hofbrauhaus am Platzl in Munich\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-8834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-768x515.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Hofbrauhaus-am-Platzl-Munich-520x348.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/figure>\n<p>Yet, there\u2019s much more to Munich than the Oktoberfest.

You can find Christmas markets in all cities that are a little bigger. The atmosphere in these markets is idyllic and Christmassy. Everywhere are little shops where you can buy lard cakes, gingerbread, spekulatius, and especially mulled wine! But there are also Christmas decorations, crafts, music and sometimes a classic nativity play.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Many people go to these Christmas markets, to enjoy the mood and to drink mulled wine. Top tip: be aware that you have to pay a deposit for the cups of three to four euros. You\u2019ll get it back by bringing the cup back.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"462\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/St.-Pauls-Church-Frankfurt-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"What is Germany known for?

One of the best things in Germany is exploring all the famous and breathtaking castles distributed throughout the whole country. The castles used to be homes of kings or government buildings back in the time, today most of them are tourist attractions.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The most famous castles in Germany are Neuschwanstein in Bavaria, the castle in Heidelberg and in Wartberg.<\/p>\n<p>Neuschwanstein castle in the south-east of Bavaria is particularly popular. It\u2019s visited by 1,5 million tourists yearly and it is usually called a fairy-tale castle because\u2026 that is exactly how it looks like. Ludwig the second built the castle as his own retreat and after he died it became more and more a tourist attraction. Furthermore, it was the model for Disney castles around the world like the Sleeping-Beauty-Castle in the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California or the Sleeping-Beauty-Castle in the Disneyland Resort in Paris.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, Germany is historically rich and it\u2019s recommended to visit the castles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein.jpg\" alt=\"Day trips from Munich\" class=\"wp-image-7545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-520x374.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein.jpg\" alt=\"Day trips from Munich\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-768x552.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/neuschwanstein-520x374.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/figure>\n<p>After the historic castles of Germany, we continue to explore Germany\u2019s history, which isn\u2019t always very\u2026 nice. Germany has an extensive and rich history but the two world wars and the Nazis play a big part in its recent history.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_War_I\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_War_I\"><\/span>World War I\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If we talk about the things that Germany is famous for, the World Wars and the Nazis are unforgettable. Although the Germans really try to avoid the topic and try to forget this part of the past. Moreover, the book \u201cMein Kampf\u201d, doing Hitler\u2019s greeting and drawing the swastika, the symbol of the Nazis, are now forbidden in Germany.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first world war took place from 1914 until 1918 and nearly 20 million people had to die. On the first August 1914, Germany declared war on Russia.<\/p>\n<p>A Serbian guy, supposedly instructed by the Serbian government, killed the prince of Austria-Hungary \u2013 a country which was an ally of Germany. After that Russia, who was an ally of Serbia, mobilized the army because it was afraid of an upcoming war. Thus Germany declared war. Both sides had allies around the world making this a world war, the first World War.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This topic is very complex though and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/world-war-i\/world-war-i-history\">there is a lot more to say<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_War_II_the_Nazis_and_concentration_camps\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"World_War_II,_the_Nazis,_and_concentration_camps\"><\/span>World War II, the Nazis, and concentration camps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In the year 1933 Adolf Hitler and the Nazi came to power and secretly prepared Germany for war. Meanwhile, the Nazis started with concentration camps to kill others who are from, how they called it, \u201cnon-aryan races\u201d. During this horrible time, millions of people died in these concentration camps.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In 1939 Germany invaded Poland which evolved into a world war after France, the UK and later the US joining it. After six years Germany capitulated, while at least 55 million people died in the second world war. This topic is really complex and shocking, there is much more to know about the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/event\/World-War-II\">second world war and the nazis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today you can visit the concentration camps, which is interesting but also terrifying. The most famous concentration camps in Germany are Sachsenburg and Dachau.<\/p>\n<p>After the second world war, Germany was split up into four parts. One of the parts was occupied by the soviet union and that brings us to incidents like the DDR and the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp.jpg\" alt=\"Things Germany is famous for\" class=\"wp-image-7287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-520x231.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp.jpg\" alt=\"Things Germany is famous for\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-7287\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-300x134.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-768x342.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/How-to-visit-Dachau-Concentration-Camp-520x231.jpg 520w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_Wall\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Berlin_Wall\"><\/span>Berlin Wall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Berlin Wall was the separation between the German Democratic Republic and the other three areas of Berlin. The Wall was built in the year 1961 to stop people from refuge in Western Germany. The famous fall of the Berlin Wall was in November 1989.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some pieces of the Berlin Wall are still standing, particularly in Berlin, which often are colored with beautiful paintings. Moreover, there is a lot to learn about the history of the DDR and the purpose of the Berlin Wall.<\/p>\n<p>While East Germany was sealed by the Berlin Wall, the West of Germany experienced an economic boom and this difference in development is still noticeable today. Despite the German efforts to unite and reduce this disparity.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_economy\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"German_economy\"><\/span>German economy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After the Second World War Germany (West Germany) experienced an economic miracle.

The German team is internationally known as one of the best teams in the world, though the last years have been hard. Though, remember that Germany has been world champion 4 times (the last in 2014)!<\/p>\n<p>And national football is even better. Enormous stadiums, huge fan bases, and great clubs. The Bundesliga is the first league of German football. The clubs fan base is intensive and big -6.5 million people from Germany are club members. Every week most of the stadiums are sold out and the mood is incredible. The fans are singing, shouting and supporting their team. Going to a big football match in German is a real experience!<\/p>\n<p>One particularity about German clubs is the 50 + 1 rule. It says that the club cannot sell more than 49% of their club to investors. That\u2019s why German clubs are still having control of themselves but also getting into trouble on the international level.
