  &quot;There are worse places in Germany.&quot; (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veSyScoOb4U&amp;t=295">4:55</a>) Could be on a postcard from Bremen ❤

  Fun fact: the Bremerhaven part of the state also has its own exclave surrounded by Niedersachsen, which is separated from the rest of the city (and therefore the state) by a corridor that&apos;s 30-31 meters at its narrowest

  It&apos;s really cool to see an English speaker talking about Bremen to international crowd. As I live in Bremen I know most of the stories and the places but it&apos;s still fun to watch and I actually learned new things. Really good video!

  Speaking of Covid regulations: There&apos;s an island group in the North Sea at the mouth of the Elbe river - Neuwerk, Scharhörn and Nigehörn. They belong to Hamburg and the bigger one is inhabited and even has a small elementary school. During the lockdown schools were closed and students attended school via videochat. So did the two only students on that island, even though they haven&apos;t had a single case of Covid there and the only physical contact to the mainland was a storeowner in Cuxhaven who brought the groceries the island inhabitents ordered to the beach at low tide and have them pick it up. Now that&apos;s contactless shopping!<br>The teacher said in an interview later &quot;The kids shouldn&apos;t miss out that historic experience.&quot;<br>She was allowed though to visit those kids at home or have them come over anytime according to the two-household-rule. 😅

  When you take the Amerikalinie from Bremerhaven to Berlin, you will pass Kirchlinteln (sadly the train doesn’t stop there). Near Kirchlinteln ist the village of Horst. According to the legend, this is where the journey of the Bremer Stadtmusikanten ended.

  I “immigrated” to the US from Germany via Bremerhaven. I was born in Frankfurt am Main in 1958 (father was in the US Army). My family went back to the US in 1961 on a ship that departed Bremerhaven.

  Hamburg also has an exclave: the island of Neuwerk at the mouth of the Elbe, which belongs to the district of Hamburg Mitte.

  In the nicest possible way, your videos feel like when the teacher rolled the TV into class.

  The Artist of the Monument at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veSyScoOb4U&amp;t=829">13:49</a> is called Kabakov. I work at a cultural institute in Bremerhaven, so it is under our administration. We call it the „Kabakov-Würfel“, literally, the Kabakov-cube
