Ninh Thị Uyên[2] (born 1995), commonly known as Uyen Ninh, is a Vietnamese influencer living in Germany. She creates short-form content about German and Vietnamese cultural differences with her husband called German Husband[a]. She also runs a podcast called Culture Cuddles with her husband. Uyen was included on YouTube's 2023 Creators on the Rise list, and was included in a portrait exhibit in the German Embassy in Hanoi in 2025.

Personal life

Uyen Ninh was born in Vietnam in 1995,[3] and lived in Hanoi.[5] In 2016, she met a German person while he was backpacking in Vietnam, and they began a long distance relationship. After three years of long distance, Uyen moved to Mannheim, Germany in 2019[1] to earn her master's degree in business administration, study economics,[4] and move in with him.[6][3]

Career

Uyen originally started creating online content with a blog on Facebook she worked on during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. She also downloaded TikTok intending to use it to edit photos for Facebook. She struggled with writing the blog, and decided to switch to short-form content.[6] Since 2020, Uyen has posted videos to YouTube,[7] TikTok and Instagram.[1]

Her content focuses on cultural differences and idiosyncrasies between Germany and Vietnam.[4] Some topics covered in her videos include lüften,[8] German windows that tilt inwards, the speed of Aldi cashiers scanning groceries, and tap water not having to be boiled.[5] Her YouTube channel focuses on more serious topics, like misogyny and stereotypes about mixed relationships.[9] She runs a podcast called Culture Cuddles with her husband.[3]

Her husband features in her videos, though his face is never shown, and his name is never revealed, instead going by names based on their current marital status:[4] initially German Boyfriend, then German Fiancé, and now German Husband.[3]

Uyen was included on YouTube's 2023 Creators on the Rise list.[7] In 2025, the German Embassy in Hanoi, AHK Vietnam, and the Goethe-Institut started the Viet-Duc: 20 Faces, 20 Stories campaign to celebrate 50 years of Germany-Vietnam relations. It consists of 20 portraits taken by photographer Birgit Kleber of people who were related to German-Vietnamese culture. The pictures were exhibited on the walls of the German Embassy in Hanoi. Uyen was one of the portraits taken for the campaign.[10][11]
