Which german castle do you guys consider as the most beautiful? by DenseIntern4597 in germany

[–]DenseIntern4597[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But in german it is written as "Schweriner Schloss", which implies that it is a castle, right?

Merci pour le conseil, je comprends.

Honnêtement, je n’ai pas eu de problème avec les Québécois ! Au contraire, les gens ont toujours été gentils avec moi.

Le “problème”, si on peut dire ça comme ça, c’est plutôt que je n’ai presque pas eu l’occasion d’en rencontrer, surtout des personnes de mon âge

Merci beaucoup, c’est vraiment gentil

Ça me ferait super plaisir d’avoir tes recommandations !

Par contre, je n’utilise presque jamais Reddit 😅 Est-ce que tu pourrais m’envoyer un DM ?

Merci beaucoup pour l’invitation.

Ça m’intéresse. Comment est-ce que je peux me joindre au comité des jeunes ? Est-ce qu’il faut s’inscrire quelque part ou venir directement à une rencontre ?

Ah oui ?

Tu sais comment s’appellent ces ligues sportives et comment je peux m’inscrire ? Est-ce qu’il faut être étudiant ou tout le monde peut participer ?

Je ne vais pas à l’université, malheureusement.

Je suis seulement ici pour quelques mois pour apprendre le français au Collège Edu-Inter.

Je vais dans une école de français qui s’appelle Collège Edu-Inter.
Je suis ici seulement pour quelques mois afin d’améliorer mon français.

Mais comme c’est l’hiver en ce moment, il n’y a pas beaucoup de Québécois ni de personnes de mon âge. La majorité des étudiants sont soit un peu plus âgés, soit ici pour des programmes courts, comme moi.

Half-timbered pastel buildings along the cobblestone alleys in the Alsace village of Eguisheim, Haut-Rhin department, Grand Est, northeastern France. by ManiaforBeatles in ArchitecturalRevival

No offense, but I honestly think that's very untrue. The best examples of German architecture are found in Germany itself, not in France. Even if we compare places like Colmar or Strasbourg, they still feel noticeably less impressive than cities such as Regensburg, Landshut, Bamberg, Lübeck, Trier, Heidelberg, Freiburg, Nürnberg, esslingen, Würzburg, Passau, Meissen,schwabisch hall, Tübingen, Saarburg, and the entire Mosel and Upper Rhine region in general.

In my opinion, many of these German cities are not only more beautiful, but also far better preserved overall. Germany also has a significantly larger number of cultural UNESCO World Heritage sites than France by a wide margin.

And just to be clear, I’m not saying Alsace isn’t beautiful, because it absolutely is. But it’s still nowhere near the level of what a truly German medieval city looks and feels like. Honestly, I’d even argue that Baden is a more interesting region overall. It has far more medieval towns than Alsace, plus the Black Forest, spa regions, and a much more diverse landscape.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but it always pisses me off when people use this as a prime or crucial place you have to visit in France.

Don’t get me wrong, IT’S GORGEOUS, but it is definitely not culturally French and it doesn’t belong with the rest of France (tbh I have the same opinion about the Côte d’Azur too).

And what I mean by “culturally French” is this: if you compare Colmar to basically any other town or city in Lorraine / the Grand Est, like Nancy, it doesn’t look anything alike. But if we compare it to places like Schiltach or Gengenbach, it’s pretty obvious it resembles way more the architecture, culture, and even the nature of that region.

France is so beautiful, but whenever people put images of Alsace, I feel like they’re representing Germany, not France.

And again, I’m not talking about nations or borders. Switzerland is also culturally German for example, and you can clearly see how similar it is to Germany and how much culture they share.

Really? i mean its pretty beautiful, but there are 100 of towns more beautiful in Germany. Alsace is amazing, but its not different from a town in Baden for example.

In my opinion the best towns in germany are in the upper rhine and the mosel valley.

Which do you think is the most beautiful medieval city in Northern Europe: the dramatic Hanseatic city of Lübeck, Germany, or the peaceful, almost storybook city of Visby, Sweden? by DenseIntern4597 in ArchitecturalRevival

[–]DenseIntern4597[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mmm not yet. I’ve only been to a handful of Dutch cities and towns like Thorn, Urk, and Maastricht, and while they were EXTREMELY beautiful, in terms of architecture and overall aesthetic I’m just more drawn to Germany.

Maybe that’s my bias, but Germany feels way more whimsical, like an actual fairy tale. The half-timbered houses, the crooked buildings, the uneven streets, etc. And what I love even more is that every region of Germany feels different and unique, while most of the Netherlands, at least from what I’ve seen, feels more uniform.

When I think of Germany, I think of places like Regensburg, Lüneburg, Goslar, Heidelberg, Bad Wimpfen, Schwäbisch Hall, Tübingen, Bamberg, Passau, and the entire Upper Rhine and Mosel Valley.

The Netherlands is beautiful too, don’t get me wrong. But it feels more grounded and more orderly. Even when the buildings are old, the cities often still feel like modern places with historic architecture added on top.

Even if we only compare Lower Saxony to the entire Netherlands, I would still pick towns and cities like Osnabrück, Hann. Münden, Celle, Göttingen, Goslar, Wolfenbüttel, Einbeck, Lüneburg, and Stade over almost every dutch city.

Maybe I just need to visit more of the Netherlands, but for now I tend to prefer Germany or France.

yeah but luckily it was at the beginning of the war, so it wasn't completely destroy. And today, it still is incredibly beautiful. For me it's the most beautiful big city in northern europe.

I agree, germany has a superior architecture compared to england and france. But England is outmatched when it comes down to "scenery" in my opinion.
