water and wealth and what the people of all spoke made of it that's going to be the common theme for my tour of the city today and as always i have a lot on my list a palace for art industrial monuments a boat trip and i really would like to see the birthplace of so let's go. we'll also look behind the scenes of the case that one of germany's most famous puppet theaters. a georgian woman will show us her hometown about to meet. and today's euro video brings us travel impressions from combat. this is the center of the town hall is located on the square at the end of. this renaissance. building is magnificent although it was almost completely destroyed by

bombing in the 2nd world war it was rebuilt in the original style for many centuries spoke was an important political center as a pretty special prick and a free imperial city. the golden hole recalls the city's former splendor. above the front door a picture shows that water was seen as the source of the city's wealth. it's clear that had become an important city from an early age by the way it's the 3rd largest here and of area after munich and nuremberg but there is much more you should know about all spoke.

the romans founded a settlement here in 15 b.c. now the city has about 290000 inhabitants. in the 13th century our sport was named a free imperial city in which merchants and bankers were important contacts for emperors and kings. the city's wealth and pride can still be imagined by taking a look at the grand architecture. book had been named a bishopric in the 8th century the cathedral is one of the few local buildings to have survived the 2nd world war almost intact. the fuquay which is considered the world's oldest social housing complex had to be restored. it was founded in 1521 by the influential merchant and then.

the complex still offers a roof to people in need today there is a model apartment that gives an idea of how people used to live. in. the city was also extremely important before and during the industrial revolution. today the textile industry museum is housed in a former worsted spinning melt. from the middle ages onwards there was a perfect water management system thanks to the dark rivers. provide water during modern factories which. plenty of energy even. visitors can see how the textile industry developed between the 16th and 19th

centuries when mass production became widespread. they can also get an idea of the deafening working conditions. there also portraits and information about the lives of important merchants and bankers and. who were responsible for the industrial development and also benefited hugely from it. these days the textile industry no longer plays a big role and where tourism has become a very important source of income there were 850000 overnight stays by visitors last year the figure has doubled over the past 20 years. you can find water everywhere in the old town of like this well with spring water that you can drink. and this is the

waterworks at the rec gate it is the oldest preserved waterworks in germany. the author already is hope that one day the city's historical water management system will be declared a unesco world heritage site and attract more visitors. the ensemble of towers and well houses has supplied drinking water to the people of for almost 500 years. paddle wheels over the canal helped transport the water up into the towers from there the fountains in the city were supplied with fresh water. today only the structures and the plants remain. but at the. last on the lazy river you get an idea of how the people of used their

wealth of water later in the 19th century. to prevent recurring epidemics such as cholera a new water works was built in 878 this allowed the households to be supplied with clean drinking water directly via pipes at the time this state of the art technology cost a sensation throughout europe. remember his it was short if you look at how ornate it is the floor is so shake it doesn't look at dust real . but i think it was made to please the eyes as you can see from the wrong time doors or to read so floor made of fine italian marble 140 years old not everyone has this floor in a factory. the waterworks here closed down in 2007 but the technology still works. and will think by the water because now we take a trip to the black sea as you know every now and then we visit europe from all

back to 881 and 8 kilometers long it least directly to the black sea coast come on let's see. when i have some free time i love to walk in the wall of where they're laying on the beach and listen to the sound waves and what's the most fascinating thing to me in the whole world the best thing about the bridge is that it's not. right here in the boulevard there is a famous meeting point for the elder generation of the city they gather here with a play chairs backgammon or domino and anyone can join them count let's play with that. money money. on the money. they're coming here every day they try to buy their

currency. politics economy and write love to. george is famous for is and always and deers history of wine making and there are about $500.00 types of waves glowing here. just imagine being a few minutes away from but to me and being so close to the nature of mining the vineyards and the forests that's on you legend. you can't imagine how delicious and just said basic rapes are and now the fun part wine tasting characters but then the oh boy girl girl tell me i wasn't just. for. it's delicious one.

of the research was teach us i practice in order to get to the truth. this is churchill up the most famous ga so it's made of different truths and truths there are 20 types of that these sound made of walnut and hazel nuts with a grape juice these are very sweet and alicia you should try to face. now i would like to take you by the catholic part to the last point in this piece that i think he'll come. from this place we have the best a view of the city but i have to say goodbye now it's been a nice day and i loved being with you to be 2 but to me on these.

you can see the well as well as the water in many places in the city. this is. the front is rather narrow at only 1000 meters but the building is over 100 meters long it is the former city palace of an banker built at the end of the 18th century the last owner gave the palace to the city of book on the condition that it never be sold and only be used for cultural purposes the head of state museums cost of keeping tells me that the building has never been destroyed and that's the showpiece. fest but yes that wonderful ball room with this fantastic ceiling for us because. everything is original 95 percent of the surface dates back to $70.70 or so this is this is

a magnificent room. it's the biggest remaining private ballroom in germany. but there is no comparable room in terms of size and originality. and some of the gold in the gold hold is real gold is that the case here to. the surfaces here are all original. here you can see the golden surfaces with gold leaf in their original state from 770. the mirrors to our original work with the mercury silvering retained you know this. dish it sloppily is primarily a museum city. it presents masterpieces from past centuries. the collection includes paintings from the late middle ages and the early renaissance.

and of course there's also a portrait of one of the most important book residents ever. says if i come to the ships up early and i have not seen this painting did i miss something that's good news indeed and this painting is probably the most important in our collection this is an icon of our sport local history. of the rich the bill gates of the 16th century but there's plenty of sway to be an understatement here and a house that's understatement doesn't catch work well you can see that there's no jewelry there are no visible hands. that always see as his dark cabin door code and the 4 that he's wearing as well as the very valuable brocade hat that point to his wealth so this reserve was very typical for a swabian merchant looking to took an even dozen sconce to push for and trade

mission culture what's the story here does the man go to the painter and say paint me or did the painter come to him about. your team to win a material council here and yacob for go ask him to paint him. because of course anyone less would have been unthinkable if the art. dealer was already very famous so the quality of the painting is obvious. he's depicted very clearly in a very individual way you know if you look very carefully you can see these very finely painted wrinkles these show how talented someone like outrage dealer was. as i pushed through and now let's switch from arts to fear or rather puppet theatre because that's what the because there's no one for it has taken many generations and i don't remember it from my childhood because you just can't forget. fantastic stories like jim but in.

a fantasy world featuring jim bouton and luke the engine driver with kings who sell ice cream with giant seeming characters and have to reagan's a world full of little celebrities made of wood broadcast on television in the 1953 . ok quite down. the poor little cut will get scared if you keep asking so many questions we can't even talk it's going to be so when candidates tend strings would mentary all some glue all that's needed to make a puppet. play a lot with the head strings of the front using our middle and in the expanders we have to have flexible wrists so that we don't have to change our grip each time the proper turns don't know if these are special property or hands. close marshall is the 3rd generation of puppets here is to run the theater he explains that his story has to be told slowly so the audience can picture the
