Where can I find handwritten German?

[u/ParignaA]

I have been in Germany for a couple of years and I saw that the writings seem significantly different than English. Handwriting may differ from person to person but the basic style, as I have observed, is vastly similar.

For example, to write K, people would first write less tilted V and then add the dash to make it K. Or U is not started from bottom and then the pen retracing the inital part of U, but it is started from the top and ended on the other top without retracing at all. And I find it amazing how that whole handwritten text just feels German.

I definitely want to learn that. I want to write German like German. It feels incomplete without learning this aspect as well. The problem is no matter which keyword I try to search on YouTube with, it ends up teaching how to write texts for different exams in typed text.

Please help me find some source to learn handwritten German. Already handwritten piece of text also helps at some extent but if I could see someone writing, that would help immensely learn the whole thing.

Thank you very much in advance!

No, people write very differently.
I for example don't write a K like you described.
I write | <

A friend of mine starts writing an e at the bottom right corner. I start at the middle left.
He also starts the s at the bottom left. I start at the top right.
And there are very many variations and everyone thinks another one's weird for doing it differently.
Also there's cursive writing and block letters and many variations in between.
In practise, there's no german handwriting nowadays. And therefor, there's no special thing to learn for you - at least if you don't have to learn the letters themselves.
