a former steel plant. just like many other cities in the rural area dortmund was once an important center for the coal and steel industries its second claim to fame was football and while most of the industry has fallen victim to structural changes football is still a source of pride and joy in the region in this edition i want to find out how all of this dortmund past and present shapes the city to this day and there's much more on the show of course. we'll check out excess say tonight dedicated to industrial culture in the region. globe trotters steve painters discovers the pharaoh islands between norway and iceland. and as always we'll have the viewer video of this time it takes is around does take

a stamp. boardman's phoenix lake is an exclusive residential area and a popular place to stroll. but there are still remnants of the area's industrial past to be found the lake was created only on the eastern part of the former steel plant the old blast furnace was conserved in phoenix west as a memorial to the city's industrial past. to no i'm eating hike ignite he or she gives regular guided tours through the complex so. tell me it's this one's mine. the best part of the tour it takes you way up in the air thirty meters above ground to be exact and the view is amazing.

western iron ore into raw iron from here it was transported to phoenix where the lake stands today bare the unrefined iron was processed further to produce. sawdust of so that's a steel works here we have an overview the like his here and between them there was a railway connection that's now a great cycling and walking trail. standing in the blast furnace complex. the plant was in operation until nine hundred ninety eight that's why i know times were very different back then so i was the air. no money going near to dog only hung up your washing on the wrong day once. once we reach the plant itself we're off to the engine room. from here and

engineers steered the wagons that would take the materials forty metres up and into the blast furnace. so you didn't have to on the next platform back in the facility was active the air here was very unhealthy. people only came here with industrial still breathing apparatus. out some good it. and the region's golden age up to nine thousand people worked in phoenix east and west now the only people here are tourists like us. there are many industrial plants that were repurposed following the structural transformation of their region sludge towers were turned into audio installations railroads into bike lanes but the hands that coking plant and dortmund was maintained as a monument to the city's industrial heritage just like phoenix with let's take

a look. at steel works like phoenix westmead coca as a fuel for the blast furnace is that smelt iron ore coke is derived from comb until nine hundred ninety two five thousand tons of the fuel were produced every day in the hands of coking plant. those days are over. because quite sort of work the ovens until the plant closed now he visitors through the old facility. there's. it was backbreaking work then there was that and summer when it was already hot outside there was radiated heat on the oven roof temperatures on it were never under sixty degrees celsius.

is the machine hold. hard they work here i just find it impressive that they're trying to maintain it. is being maintained but not polished into a high gloss tourist destination it shows what happens to an industrial complex when left to itself now nature is slowly reclaiming the site. i can read now shows me to the dortmund another symbol of this city. this building bodies structural change in the region it's been turned from an industrial hub into a popular site for the service and creative sectors in what used to be the union brewery rather than beer you'll now find exhibits a museum and art project. of this i mean.

this is basically my favorite exhibition even though i say that on almost every floor. but that you two in particular represents what makes this museum special here you can not only look at modern art you can create a true self. and right this exhibit that means taking your own pictures. all states symbolizes the modern the region like no other institution what led to the structural change. now this had them into two one doesn't it i don't want to do with the fact that globalisation made it cheap. then time line is here for us so in the one nine hundred seventy s. the nation more and more was but was abroad simply because it was better value for money. was i thought going to go. and jobs here were lost in the late one nine hundred seventy s.

dortmund has lost eighty five thousand jobs lost in the comeback how come that changed because at some point there were new perspectives and projects that would as with figures as i mentioned i think what's important was that there were people who can simply think a step further than we can imagine that it ultimately started with car guns and the i.b.m. shop park in the one nine hundred ninety s. how did he had the idea that it wasn't about each town doing its own thing but about the entire region working together since a very important signal the document is with the first to be hit hard by the crisis and authorities here had to think about how to master it they have yet the time of the show and they did how did that impact tourism in the region or sector i mean. of overnight stays is rising constantly and it's not just because dartmouth has a very successful football team it's also being recommended as a destination for short breaks for people in germany. and then there are increasing numbers of visitors from abroad who are fascinated by the way

a modern technology oriented system can link to its industrial past that's made the industry hard you can plunge into history and at the same time enjoy the green and attractive sitting around it you know and a clock even stopped. thanks for the tour in the dark at my pleasure the war areas biggest cultural event is the extra shift and night dedicated to the celebration of industrial culture for one day two thousand artists take over forty five being used in twenty one cities one of them of course. the most unimaginable locations are turned into staying just for music for theater and even for five years shows check it out. we make an easy going start in duisburg north landscape park taking two since historic train over the to central compound. of

the ford motor we're going to there's something like this there as well it's a feeling we want to revisit the tone of i'm coal mine we really wanted to see the light show that. we're going to the old zinc factory and. the henry iron works in fighting an opera singer tina zick is trying to catch a man. or woman who was really really. good because i don't. think is this woman worried that her husband will succumb. ok you can take care of himself i'm not worried. that. it's starting to grow dark and the extra festival begins to show its luminous side.

outside the iron works are dancing down in the basement there's thrills and chills . to please please don't kill me stab at the nameless one. and is don't worry i won't so but as soon as your body can no longer take the pain you will die on your own. the hunza coking plant is also of and you. must future lots of fun plots a visit is nice guy it's it's grace a grace of and. then there's a fire show accompanied by a string quartet. the extra night of industrial culture takes place every june and it always gets the

entire rural region rocking. now i want to find out a bit about dortmund's other claim to fame football. since october of twenty fifteen it's been home to the german football museum a kind of one stop shop for football fans young and old. it's a place that documents the nation's sporting past by taking a look back at some of the most glorious moments and. werman football history like the world cup win if nine hundred fifty four. different sections of the exhibit are dedicated to club and women's football. at its heart in the

trophy room you'll find many of the sport's most coveted awards including of course germany's world cups. there are a total of one thousand six hundred exhibits the biggest by far is the bust that carted around germany's two thousand and fourteen world champion. and now let's get out of here because globe trotters steve fainaru is waiting for us on the ferro islands that's an archipelago about halfway between iceland and norway popular mostly among hikers and bird watchers no wonder really because the landscape is truly impressive. welcome to the faroe island. episode i will show you in silence by hiking on the water bootsy collins and media islands from above from

a helicopter you're ready then put your when the rain jacket gone and we're ready to go. now we're in the capital. here we're staying. local it's staying in a little brown post. office. oh . yeah it's true. about to go kayaking. with hundreds preparing supper and i'll get some dry suits

and. wear off. wrong it's a lot of fun like along this coast here especially because we don't have strong winds and currents so it's very like saying to slide along the coast and see this rocks here and the landscape around little villages over there we can nice. if you have seen one image of the faroe islands and it's probably this this waterfall here. it's called the more left. but is better known for the village which is up there which is called. so this is a very very picturesque spots at least

here on the boat because we want to see and so they are going to make a starting from seven. and it looks promising when the so my. dad. if. you need to see where these problems live think we'll have him here. if he. seemed a fair islands from the ground is pretty nice but it's even nicer when you get up into the air so i'm now taking a look up the flight. and that's it from the fair islands see you soon.

and dortmund one football club is king the black and yellow dortmund it was founded in this building in one thousand and nine so this has become a favorite destination for dortmund fans making pilgrimages from around the country . but listed buildings in the area make it a worthwhile visit even for people who don't like the beautiful game. full disclosure i'm a huge fan of byron munich dortmund's biggest rival so kind of moving behind enemy lines here and i'm starting to realize that no matter how hard i try there's no getting around this team in the city. one good example the holy trinity church just a stone's throw from the famous ball that plots.

here people don't just come to praise the lord but also they are teens. of course opposes plots and the holy trinity church are the only places of worship for dortmund fans in town their actual cathedral is the team's stadium signaling it do not park. seek not what you do know is the biggest stadium in germany but first go first you don't win football club. black and yellow a time german champions as well as european. up winners and have taken the laurels in both the champions league and intercontinental cup. their fans in the city are extremely dedicated. when there's no match taking place the stadium is open for guided tours. we now have room for

more than eighty thousand people but most in the stand on the south terrace there are just under twenty five thousand places they're almost off for season ticket holders it's practically always sold out. if a daughter natives are hard fish lives and works for prophecy adornment she's both a fan and a stadium guy she leads visitors through the stadium system of tunnels and even into the holiest of holies the locker room. in the heart of a stadium the past comes to life again in the policy of the team's museum it houses historical exhibits pictures and even a replica of a pub because the football club was actually born at a regular table there. may not go to men founded back then i don't think they could have imagined what they were founding and what it would be

a hundred years later it's very special. and this one must be on. the campus had great success and a few small scandals at one training camp for instance as packed a bra into a teammate suitcase that set off a crisis with his wife back home. and that muslims in the end figured out they had to help get him out of trouble so they held the first and only team meeting to date with a woman in attendance so. that. football stories from the region aren't just for the horsey adult men fans. where there is football you can be certain but here isn't far away dortmund has a long brewing tradition i'm headed to the popular bar avi to meet up with

a beer summit marcus malva he and his colleagues have a mission to teach dortmund there is more about the quality and delights of their favorite beverage to reach that goal they offer brewing seminars and beer tasting. chosen three great specialty appears here we'll start with a dortmund you believe beer it's a very new beer that's just come out for the fiftieth anniversary of the daughter under you are landmark one. going to pour it in quite carefully for its melon that has a sweet bread a note like brioche but you'll also smell the hops is. just definitely. beer like this practically demands a savory snack across to the markets recommends the homemade potato bread and sour cream the perfect pairing for this you know very mild.

the next up an herbal beer from belgium the so-called good it's triple ferment and pretty strong and first some reason smells like apple juice but. it's really sparkly isn't it only never tasted anything like it on the web. this is a beer that's great to serve as an aperitif finish on paying glass to surprise people with washington. on june the third one marcus serves it with onion chutney it's from dortmund and called divots coffee chocolate and i've been the lead. it's made its reddish in color and the taste reminds me a freshly baked ryan bread. no one's actually had for so which beer did you like best most of the fun well they were all pretty great but i'll go

for the goat the good be the outsider yeah the outsider. even if i'm thoroughly enjoying all of this right now we should leave town again and france out with the second year is anton and anastasia from russia this end of the video from there make a scene in the can down mountains and is making fun from the looks of it they have lovely track.
