when romney and her friends agreed on peace but an assassin put an end to that train them to return to the history of the displaced people still fighting for their homeland. is real seventeen years may twelfth on d w all broadcast times online. one can say there is something quite ideal about the location and surroundings of the city unfortunately that's not

a cold for me but for me good to see he was referring to heidelberg in southwestern germany this romantic city has a chance that many writers and painters let's see whether it casts its spell on me to. be old bridge is actually very romantic it leads across the neck a river to the old town. but. right next to the bridge gate we find this bronze monkey it's a much photographed landmark of title back. what does this monkey want to tell us that we are as ugly as he is and that's why he holds a mirror up to us but he also has an enticing promise anyone who touches the mirror will become rich allegedly that is and those who touch his fingers will return to hide back. so it seems i'll be revisiting hydel back then.

of course title back cost is high on my list of things to do. also on the show our weekly v mail comes this time from the frosty destination the antarctic. and in our series meet a local georgette who just shows us around her hometown abu dhabi. from hile back sold it's a steep climb up to the castle the number one tourist attraction in this small city on the neck a river. back castle has been intentionally kept as a ruin because if there really look creates a special atmosphere and if i take a look around i have to say the poets and tourists have every right to be impressed

. by. the council is titled there it's crowning jewel a must see for romantics and millions of tourists. and french troops destroyed it during their occupation of the city in the seventeenth century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. come upon saws in the height of. the guy that was a refugee from the french revolution and he was horrified how can we use this constant as a quarry and we have to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule and arguing that in this state it symbolized the very notion of romance and stasis last. month which was. only a small portion of the council was read. as

a museum. and also displays the style in which the rich and powerful core first lived. but above all it's the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world it's been especially popular among americans since the one nine hundred twenty four broadway hit about all title bad. tooth music and what are more of its now from broadway in the musical became the longest running show in broadway history and lots and suddenly every american knew about heigl back in for that was when this idea of the good old germany with its bad wrinkly students a little romance a little fording in love captivated the american imagination. the castle is surrounded by an expansive park. with its exotic plants not parents and grown homes it was considered an eighth wonder of the world.

that was in the summer months the council takes center stage as the perfect backdrop for the city's annual theater festival. i shop. and what better way to end a romantic day than on the banks of the knacker with a view of the live show and fireworks and events held three times a year. by fall of the scent of romance two highly backs markets where. this is where you'll find the town hall and the church of the holy spirit. today the church is. distant but that wasn't always the case in the past it was

a times used by catholics and then again by lutherans there were even times when both denominations celebrated mass in the church separated by a wall. this building just across from the church is the rear and they soon as jim commissioned by a cloth merchant it's now a hotel it survived all the wars and fires that ravaged the city and today is a listed monument. i think you've had a great taste of title back so far that's why we meet the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in viewer priyanshu now from thailand took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video for that and now enjoy the v mail.

heidelberg is the quintessential student town it's home to germany's oldest university it's over six hundred thirty years old. more than thirty thousand students are enrolled here. you know john de janiero and john is one of them he offered to show me around our first stop is the

assembly hall it reminds me of a church if you look outside wouldn't you know for a long time it was used for teaching but today it's mostly reserved for concerts lectures the ceremonies and it's a place frequently shown off to tourists and among those considered like me and exactly. the assembly hall is the showpiece of title back universities main building. next vino takes me to the library nearby it houses a priceless treasure the codex mine they said. hello welcome to our historic ground reading room one thing one librarian martin missing shows us the precious book well it's a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. this is. i think it's a collection of german a ballad and lyrical poetry. and that's on the works of about one hundred forty singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly about their funding

for the fighter that's good because the so it's like a really big song book yeah pretty much. the book was written and illustrated between thirteen hundred and thirteen forty it's not just a key source of mediæval songs with it's portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the h. of chivalry. there are many other valuable manuscripts in the university library they're being digitalized here page by page. now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library. we move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in two

thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven it's open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here it's the perfect place to quiz vino about life in hydra back. sooner than you know just what do you study in heidelberg studio here a bachelor's in southeast asian studies with a focus on history and ethnology especially in my native sri lanka and south india in here and why in hydel back oh definitely several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation it's internationally renowned but it's also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with the university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head off that and only visited. it or does it and it's not only german students here right there from all over the world. but it's all right heidelberg is very international

and so is the university we frequently have students from india. bangladesh who start their master's program here we also run a lot of summer and vacation courses. here so why is highly back known as the student tell us of so i thought i think that has a lot to do with the history heidelberg depressed people found in the thirty nine hundred six and for many decades and centuries a quarter of the population was made up of students. based on title back in math so i don't know to me and then there's the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after they've been studying hard. on the fire and nothing happened. sounds like a place to really go crazy with that in mind i have another tip for you. some things never change students have always liked party and in the past those who are party to heart were at risk of ending up in the so called cuts at the

universities own prison today you won't find any locked up students tourists come here often terribly. generations of heidelberg students have left their mark here students who drank too much broke the rules and threw stones at lamp posts they all ended up in heidelberg universities private prison. in cuts ago before i knew it i was put in the cell i'm having fun the days a swell. two or three days of incarceration in the late nineteenth century was more of a laugh than a punishment it was a jovial jail. because copious amounts of alcohol flowed here to. the prison art was created with paint sort and leftover food. mixed still they used chewed grad

to make picture famous. the last inmates out here in sell for more than one hundred years ago france shonda meyer born in one thousand nine hundred one in the town of show invite. his offense yesterday and common standards student fans jandali a salute the sidewalk outside the house such time gas a number eighteen by urinating he gave the doors we needed. the last inmate didn't have time to contribute to the prison artwork he was released on february twenty first nineteen fourteen six months later he volunteered for military service in the great war doing just a title that could idle but university then had more than twenty six hundred students of those more than twelve hundred world-war fall and has i think they have bigger worries in. the student jail was closed about one hundred years ago today and the only people leaving their trace are the tourists.

as well as its narrow winding streets hydel back also has a busy main road that runs parallel to the neck up through the old tell me. it's one of the longest and most beautiful pedestrian zones in europe full of shops and boutiques. it's also the location of the historic student hall and. built in seventeen o three it's been run for the past one hundred seventy five years by the family many a celebrity yes stop by including marilyn monroe and mark twain. be in serves up traditional fare and i am eager to tuck in the hearty potato soup is

right up my alley. while i'm eating my soup you can visit all the other sides a final back we haven't seen yet i bet you don't want to miss anything right. with his cafes bars and stores the street called steingart connects the town center and the old bridge you're sure to pass through on your tour through time. the nearby baroque gesture with church is worth a snapshot it was built in the eighteenth century and as one of the largest and most significant churches in heidelberg. and this is our insider's chip item burg university's botanical garden it's more than a century old. it started as

a doctor's garden for medicinal plants today more than ten thousand plant species grow in the greenhouses and garden grounds. that. this may look like a greek amphitheater but it was built as a stage four events by the nazi party. today the things sure do is a listed monument and is used for open air concerts. so as heidelberg been hit with today's visitors it's us are trying to be here and i enjoy it if the how can i meet i may come here again very interesting city they are good with their go forward and a very friendly. if you want to visit juggling go to ajdabiya is the best thing.

a popular hard labor group and here is the student kiss a specialty by the city's oldest chocolate maker. many a seasoned politician has enjoyed the sweet treat. back in the days smitten students would gift a box as a token of their affection now the customer is most likely a tourist looking to take home a memento of their trip to hardenberg. now it's time for a trip to the crew next to a mountain meaning king stare we're going up on the from the chiller it has several stops you can also get off at the castle but i'm going up all the way. to you know. you have to change trains from a new train to one of the oldest from the chiller railways in germany the poets of the romantic era would no doubt have found some flowery language to describe the

experience. it's a slow and bumpy journey very nostalgic. there right up through next to it is worth it simply for the spectacular views across title back and its surroundings but that's not the only reason i've come up . here waiting patiently. to come on and. once or twice a day in summer the fellow can read this place it's birds of prey calm and them of first shows us the eagle owl you will young. the show lasts about an hour and a half and there is lots to learn about owls falcons and eagles visitors are welcome to share their knowledge and earn a feather or two. that's how do they differ from other parts of america can anyone

neck up this path is known as the philosopher's walk. historically it was just a path through the vignettes but during the romantic period it scenic beauty drew students professors and philosophers today it's a highlight for visitors it gives fantastic views of the city and castle. i don't think i need to tell you any more about the romantic fifty off height of back you've seen it for yourself and a quote from a famous german song pretty much sums it up my half in high deductible that means i lost my heart in height of.
