First off, THANK YOU for your patience! (This is my 5TH ATTEMPT POSTING THIS LMAO) I’ve been working on this video for the last 3 weeks combing through 8hrs of footage directly from the Miniatur Wunderland. I didn’t want to leave anything out at all especially After what I witnessed during my experience there! The Wunderland felt like walking through a beautiful dream! I was there for roughly 8hrs filming, and arguably could have discovered so much more if there was more time in a day ! Where should I visit next?

There is actually a whole system of hidden tracks and train stations underneath the top landscape to park the trains regularly to cool them down. You can do a guided tour to see the ”behind the scenes”.
my daughter, boyfriend and I aren’t in the best financial situation. But in January the Miniaturwunderland had the „Ich kann es mir nicht leisten“-campaign („I can’t afford it“). They let people in for free, who couldn’t normally afford the tickets… So we went and I was barely able to hold my tears in thankfulness.
When we decided to get some fries in the restaurant, one of the inventors was there as well. So I took the opportunity and went up to him and thanked him. We both had tears in our eyes as he thanked me for thanking him. He barely gets to meet the families they are making happy with this, so it was emotional for him as well…
I don’t even have the words to express my thankfulness and love towards these two men…
I must see this some day. It is f—ing fantastic!

"Der Frau" in short. Die Frau = The Woman; Der Frau = of the Woman.
Das Bild = The picture; Die Bild = The magazin (who is called "Bild" ("Times", Daily Bugle" or what ever) cause, die Zeitschrift = the magazine.
German language is awsome.
Real story: The "Feuer und Flamme 2024" stadium you showed at the end with all the people inside was created when Hamburg was going to apply for the Olympic Games 2024 in 2015 (eventually, the public had to vote and they voted against it). To express support for the application, people could place a miniature figure inside of this stadium model. Me and my grandma actually went there and did it, I think it was in the Europa Passage. I had forgotten about it already and didn't know they put it in the Miniatur Wunderland until you showed it.
Btw: The concert stadium you showed is also pretty neat. It is the Olympiastadion Berlin and you can actually buy tickets for the Helene Fischer concert going on inside; if you buy a ticket you get to place a figure inside and it gets donated to charity.
The scale is H0 or 1:87, so a average person of 180 cm tall is around 2.07 cm in Model Scale.
When the Miniatur Wunderland had finished building their Elbphilharmonie they mocked the real one a little my saying we were first to finish construction and not have massively blown through the budget and schedule like the real one 😂
Note for people who want to visit the Miniatur Wunderland: 1. Plan several hours or a whole day for your visit. (They have a restaurant and cafe.) 2. It's essential that you BOOK & BUY YOUR TICKETS AHEAD OF TIME, online at the website. The website will tell you on which date and time of day there are still free visitor slots. Just turning up randomly won't get you entrance! There are a lot of people wanting to visit but for obvious reasons only a limited number of people fit safely into the building (in terms of space and fire regulations) and MWL want visitors to be able to actually have a chance to see the exhibits instead of being crammed into a mass of people unable to move. Once you have your timeslot for entrance, turn up on time!
3. You can also book a guided Behind the Scenes tour! It costs extra, but it's absolutely worth it. At least they did those tours when I was last there years ago, pre-pandemic, back when the MWL's newest build exhibit was the airport. They take you backstage to the exhibits, along the lanes the employees there use to access the exhibits from the "inside", and show you the repair show for cars and trains. The tourguide also allows you to enter the big "Leitzentrale", the control center, with all the computers monitoring and controlling the exhibits. Note: Some of those backstage lanes are narrow, so you will be asked to leave bulky backpack and bags in the lockers and it might not be accessible to people in wheelchairs or who are extremely obese.
A Movie aubout the Miniatur Wunderland start in the Cinema March 7th ….

Idk..but Couldn't that be Arabian Women with a Burka ? I mean it seems simular. 😅 Dixie Klo ..The blue stinking Toilet Boxes.Actually Jägerschnitzel is not like Wiener Schnitzel…it is without the Bread Crumbs..just normal cooked..with that Sauce. Never have i ever seen a Wiener Schnitzel been violated like that……nooooo you don't do that..it is plain. No Panade!!!! You did it wrong Germany. How is that even allowed?
The best Button of all of them is in Venice. There a house brakes apart, because a couple is making "intense" love😅
I used To work for Miniature Wunderland PR department managing their YouTube channel, shooting short movies and documentaries there. Even after 1,5 years it was astounding how passionate everyone is!
Need to Visit MiWuLa again asap last time I was there was before Covid
Love what they create there.
There is also a whole documentary movie about MiWuLa coming out in March to selected theatres.
Thank you for content and greetings from Kiel.
I was there last November. It was great.
Das Wunderland ist echt schön leider war bei meiner anreise alles mega voll es hat echt gedauert 😀
We have an Miniatur Wunderland?
As an german, i didn't know this .
idk if you did but if you didnt, there is a button near the miniature miniatur wunderland that makes a train drive around inside
Come to Schleswig, it's a crazy city near Hamburg. Worth it!
The concert is a picture of the real tour of 2010 „Fantasy“ from DJ Bobo, artist from Switzerland
I was there like 7-8 times and it doesn’t get boring
Nice vlog keep it up
Did you see the chocolate factory in Switzerland coz it wasn’t in the video
You get free chocolate there and you see how it’s produced
the guided tour is great too, you should do it if you get the chance
James, thank you for the wonderful video. Please take vegan currywurst and vegan schnitzel in the future. Sentient beings do not deserve to be killed. Please live vegan. Thank you very much 🌱
Hamburg auf die 1, yes!
Hamburg is realy a awesome city. I find the Minitur Wunderland you have to visit when you make a trip to Hamburg.,
Da war ich vor einem jahr
I have been there three times already and haven`t even seen everything. Definitelty going there again since they are adding more areas consteantly. LOVE IT
still more railroad than the US^^'
26:40 "Dr. Oetker – Welt" in meiner Stadt Bielefeld. 🙂
DJ Bobo is the one thing besides tax evasion and clocks that Switzerland is famous for. 😂
As far as I am informed, all attractions except the ships are computer controlled.
now imagine you had preped a little james fig that you could have placed on there… not saying you should do that but it would be kinda interesting how long it would take people to notice that mini james chilling on the stairs is not actually a piece of the exhibit
The big Stadium with the concert in there was the Olympiastadion in Berlin. If you go to Berlin you have to experience the stunning atmosphere in there when the Football Club Hertha BSC plays there. Hope you‘re going there!
So glad you enjoyed it so much. It is absolutely mind-blowing.
