a center of power and tourist magnet alike. i've arranged to meet you feel to be a berliner with turkish roots she's been representing the social democrats in the stocks since two thousand and thirteen so she knows her way around first she shows me the debating chamber the heart of the parliament and really german democracy as a whole. care of it there but we debate vote and pass laws here. and that's where you work yes that's right the how does it feel to stand up there at the podium. it's nerve wracking i can imagine especially the first time in with a thought well over time you get used to it the nervousness doesn't fade but that is all right but i've been a member of parliament for four years and it's truly special to have

a chance to speak in this hallowed hall. but i come from an immigrant family and belong to what they call the guest worker generation. on the fourth and it's really something significant for me and my parents as well then that i got a good education and today i'm representing people in germany as a member of parliament. to mention and bought something that's. good with. walking the halls of the bundestag is like taking a journey through time this graffiti was scrawled on the walls by soviet soldiers after they won the battle for the right stock in one thousand nine hundred forty five british architect norman foster integrated them into his clan when the building was reconstructed and he left the bullet holes. now or in the delicate lobby this painting represents the right stock fire in nine

hundred thirty three the nazis used the event as a pretext to persecute their political opponents and the books of names commemorate the hundred twenty members of parliament who were murdered in the aftermath of. the next stop is the prayer room a place of quiet and reflection for the m.p.'s regardless of their faith. there's a lot more going on up on the roof of the building the glass dome is the biggest attraction for visitors to their rights talk. from the top we had all the way to the bottom in the basement we come across five thousand boxes with four thousand nine hundred ninety nine names on them a sofa given at the mo cot there's

a box for every democratically elected representative in the years between one thousand nine hundred. one nine hundred ninety nine and then press and i'm the phone. on the set is there anything in them no. these boxes are all shaped the saying to stand for the equality of all elected representatives independently of their function and nothing you feel from so on the years of naziism are symbolized by a black box there's no name on that one it can see. tunnels least from the right start building to parliamentary office buildings nearby. i'm going to now we've emerged from this tunnel into another very futuristic looking building. and on top

of the home yes this is the power loop the house from the to the representatives offices and the committee rooms are here on the right and left on the on biden bot . so lots of heated debates behind these walls. right. and my committee the finance committee meets in this room every wednesday from nine fifteen till about noon or one o'clock. it's in. the polar bear house on the western bank of the reverse brain just across is the money as house some members of the pundits talk of their offices over there. when the city was divided in this area of the river served as the border between east and west berlin the crosses remember people who lost their lives trying to escape from the east.

i'm standing in front of the chair. up there on the seventh floor that's where angola merkel works unfortunately i can't get in but on her official website you can take a look at her office. wow look at that view you can see that your garden the big inner city park and all the way to the right stop. right next to the chancellery and i'm going to hop on that. nicknamed the chancellor train this will get me to the grand boulevard on today linton in no time and that's good because i have a very important appointment to keep. i'm of course going to take the v.i.p.'s and trips i mean i have a photo session with the chancellor herself. ok ok it might not

be all that exclusive after all at madame tussaud everyone can take a picture with. our western morocco obama. our other celebrities a bit stiff but pretty close to the originals and you think. now i'm going to treat myself to a little break the tea i got miss the perfect place for that it's right in the center of the city just behind the rice talk and the brandenburg gate. and oasis of peace and quiet for leonard's and tourists longing to rest their legs. here in the park you can rent a rowboat chill out in a beer garden. or

just sit back and watch the folks go by. at dusk it's time to walk back over to the government district here i'm going to check out something i've been looking forward to all day. just behind the right stock a row of steps along the banks of the spray river offer a perfect view onto the muddy elisabet ludo's house and summer a big round window becomes a movie screen that presents milestones of german history from the end of the german empire to the fall of the berlin wall in one thousand nine hundred nine this sound and light show is a wonderful way to end my day and berlin's fascinating government district. northwest of berlin is hamburg. located on the elba river the former hence the arctic city is famous for its port nowadays you can spend the night on this former

fishing boat. were. after a restful sleep in the floating hotel. is ready for his tour of hamburg. welcome to my hamburg summer tour always pretty close to the water from the concert hall through the entertainment district to the beach and if you're going to. talk first a tour off a former fishing boat built in one thousand nine hundred forty seven. shows me his ship. this is the belly of the ship here's where they kept the fish cool on ice. would fetch us the only leave the harbor sometimes or is it permanently mortier. oh no it's fully functional we can set out right now for spain for instance or wherever you want it is ok maybe another time today i want to check out

hamburg. it took a long time and became more expensive than expected but it seems to have paid off the feel of money concert hall has won many fans since its opening in two thousand and seventeen that makes it quite difficult to get concert tickets but a visit to the observation deck the plaza is free a great new balcony three hundred sixty degrees of pure hamburg. from where i'm from both from russia or why are you up here at the appeal of money . because it's a landmark in hamburg and it's a place you have to visit if you're in hamburg and london combo is all this is

a good as i heard it's very difficult to get tickets that means you just get in line and hope for the best and it wasn't a fluke this is exactly at six pm well go to the box office and hope we get tickets so you know any tricks to get tickets just luck that's all that's all i'll give it a try i seem to be lucky. if you're there good luck. son paulista one of the most famous districts of hamburg famous and notorious here you will find pubs i think grand theatres a red light district and culture and all of it not far from the elder. son poll even has a small museum where you can find out what has shaped the district. because that poli was originally a border region between the danish city of altoona and the hands eric city of hamburg residents here knew how to use this kind of free space to dance halls and

cheap entertainment have been a part of scientology since the seventeenth century. similar business always on pelleas image of prostitution and crime evolved over the years i think if you bring it up about how does that state exact polly is in my constant flux i'd say the red light district image which now plays a role in many tourists perceptions as well as in marketing strategies. is very much influenced by the one nine hundred seventy s. and the one nine hundred eighty s. and i think i got to go on and lots of cliches emerge then. go and change moment hairdos and such. on survivor to nobody so with these cliches they try to attract tourists by saying we have a red light district we have gangsters that might be interesting to some people. think i think show we at the sonic only museum don't think of ourselves and that we

try to present everything in the development of the district and enable visitors to understand how certain myths were formed wish them to some are not just myths and some are cliches. you can also take a dip in hamburg's river after years of pollution the water quality of the over today is clean enough to swim in bathing in the elbow has a long tradition especially during the nineteenth century. join a list and author has already written two books about it like many locals she's a fan of the river. vicky what moves you to swim in the elba every day. foskett internist every day was like you know it's a great pleasure it's just wonderful for my now the album dies at my door step.
