That what you call Germany is really a badly matched marriage between four peoples who've spent centuries eyeing each other with suspicion, sneering behind each other's backs, and tolerating one another out of pure historical pragmatism. The punctual German cliché, the Bavarian with the beer stein, the modern Berliner and the nostalgic Ossi aren't the same person — they're four versions that barely recognize each other. In this video we take apart Europe's most misunderstood country piece by piece: Bavaria, Catholic, rich and proud, where men still wear lederhosen to weddings and greet you with "Grüß Gott"; Prussia, the disciplined, austere north that unified the country by blood and iron and then officially ceased to exist; and the open wound of the East-West divide, the Ossi and the Wessi, born in 1949 and still shaping wages, elections and family dinners thirty-five years after the Wall came down.
