I’m an English chap named Bhav, ‘ave lived in Manchester, Leicester and Crawley (Gatwick Airport if that rings a bell). I thought I’d explain to a German person what they may not know about England before visiting, mostly entailing the cultural differences. Vice versa, show an English person what Germany is like, although this is in impartial as I haven’t had near as much experience in Germany as I have had in comparison to England.
DISCLAIMER: These are my opinions. Please do not take the given facts as 100% true, little to no research was done (based solely off amazing experiences)…
ENJOY THE QUICK READ.
In the first part I will explain England for Germans, of course in German. Scroll down for a guide to Germany for English people.
England für Deutsche
Erstens: Fußball ist sehr populär in England. In England ist es völlig normal, Manchester United Fan zu sein und in London zu leben. Jeder hat eine Mannschaft.
Der Junge rechts bin ich, bei meinem ersten Spiel für Liverpool.
Zweitens: Die Tiere in England sind nicht so aggressiv wie hier – MEINER MEINUNG NACH! Wie du im Foto sehen kannst, sind sie sehr nett! In Deutschland hat mich eine Wespe gestochen, ohne Grund, einfach so, das erste Mal in meinem Leben. Nicht nett!
Ich und eine nette britische Ente.
Drittens: Wir studieren viel kürzer in England. Im Grunde genommen haben die meisten einen Bachelorabschluss (und vielleicht einen Master, selten einen PhD). Viele Leute können sich nicht mehr als einen Abschluss leisten, weil studieren in England sehr teuer ist.
Ich und meine Uni.
Viertens: Kicker in England heißt “foosball table”. Bevor ich hier angekommen bin, hatte ich gar keine Ahnung was „Kicker” heißt. Man findet auch selten ein Kicker Tisch in England, dafür öfter einen Billardtisch.
Fünftens: Berlin und Hamburg sind komplett anders als London. Hier in Deutschland scheinen die Leute ein bisschen glücklicher zu sein. Vielleicht liegt es ja daran, dass alles viel billiger ist.
Sechstens: Tourismus in England ist ganz anders als in Deutschland! Wir haben: Stonehenge, Big Ben, Tower of London, National Parks, Eden Projekt, und alles in London, was jeder kennt. Laaaangweilig. Aber in Deutschland gibt es sehr viele historische Sehenswürdigkeiten, die in Verbindung mit Weltkriegen oder dem kalten Krieg stehen. Spannend.
Das London Eye ist ein beliebter Ort für Touristen.
Siebtens: Wir Briten überqueren die Straße, egal was die Ampel anzeigt!
Achtens: Kneipenkultur! In England trinkt man Cider, Bier (Guiness, Peroni, San Miguel oder was lokales). Wir haben ‘squash’, sehr konzentrierter Saft, den man mit Wasser mischt. Es gibt Pub-Ketten wie ’weatherspoons’, die sehr populär sind. Es gibt überall in England ein ’weatherspoons’. Typisches englisches Kneipen-Essen ist: Bangers and Mash (Kartoffelbrei mit Würstchen), Scotch egg (Fleisch mit Eiern), Chicken Tikka Masala, Jacket potato (Ofenkartoffel mit Käse und Bohnen) und Fisch und Chips.
Warum gehen Deutsche nicht öfter in Kneipen?
Neuntens: Ich muss sagen, ich habe viel mehr unterschiedliche Kulturen in England gesehen als in Deutschland. Es gibt zum Beispiel den Notting Hill Carnival in England, der andere Kulturen feiert! England scheint multikultureller zu sein als Deutschland.
Zehntens: In England ist „cornern“ verboten. Dafür kann man in der Bahn trinken.
Germany for English chaps
First: The football culture is very prevalent in Hamburg despite the fact that both Hamburg teams are second league teams, not as common in England. I also feel like in Germany, in general, there’s a lot more ‘local’ fans (there’s less Berliners who support Bayern München to say the least).
Me visiting a game of FC St. Pauli in Hamburg.
Second: Wasps seemed to have tormented me all summer in Germany and I got stung for the first time here, so in my opinion they’re overly aggressive. On serious note they are a little bit more ‘in your face’ here.
Third: Tourism is completely different here in comparison to England, a lot of it is based off history generally speaking. Of course in Hamburg, not so much (from my experiences), but let’s say Hamburg is like Brighton or Manchester, there’s not much tourism in either of those English cities, which is quite the opposite to Hamburg. Disclaimer: You find your fair share of drunk brits here on the Reeperbahn or sometimes in Sternschanze.
Views from the Alster.
Fourth: Multiculturalism, you’ll notice there’s a concentration of foreigners in some areas more than others (I guess the same as England) but I find it’s not quite as diverse as England. And I’ve noticed a lot of reference to American politics here in Hamburg
Fifth: People seem to study all the time here, regardless of age! There’s a lot of ‘werkstudenten’, which we don’t really get (these are the people who work in offices as well as doing a part time degree).
Sixth: Music - the culture is very different here, they know their own German music very well (naturally so) and their American music (as everyone does) but they’re not really into their British English music
Seventh: Hamburg specific - the Reeperbahn, Schlagermusik! I’ve never seen anything like this in England, Schlagermove festival (overly joyous simple music) and the Reeperbahn (a place full of drunk people/brits, where people party A LOT).
A foosball table or as the germans say: Kicker.
Eighth: Pub Culture: they’re open for a lot longer here, but I don’t find it’s as part of the culture as much as it is in England. I’ve never really heard anyone say ‘Dya wanna go to the pub’ here in Germany. They also have foosball tables here rather than pool tables and they don’t sell pints!
The internet at Fork.
Ninth: In Germany you can drink on the street, it's called ‘cornern‘.
Tenth: FINALLY, THERE’S NO FORK UNSTABLE MEDIA IN ENGLAND, which is a massive difference. We definitely need one here.
