as they say you're in the north in hamburg on the elba i spent the night on this houseboat a former fishing boat. it's still a bit early in the city district but the weather forecast promises sunshine. 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. we also look into hamburg music history at the legendary star club.

a graffiti artist writes as to the sights of his hometown of houston. and the viewer video shows us a trip to mexico and guatemala. first a tour also a form of fishing boats built in 1947. shows me his ship. no entry in that's right and it's a print. of dust and that's all the original you haven't changed anything that's all it's all absolutely original or does not and it still works do you have to check it regularly as often by when we turn on the engine we have to check it in advance but it runs. in white tight here do you ever hit your head always. at least

a few times and that's that's let me show you the living room because i tried to make it very cozy. could i so where we're standing in this beautiful living room this used to be the hole for fish you know exactly this is the belly of the ship here's where they kept the fish cool on ice. do you leave the harbor sometimes or is it permanently more dear. to how it's fully functional and we can set out right now for spain for instance or whatever you want about it is ok maybe another time today i want to check out hamburg. while i go to check out the if you can take a quick look at the most important information on hamburg everything you should know about the city. from the river elbe a to a tributary the ulster and hamburg there's water everywhere.

the port of hamburg the 3rd largest in europe is very important to the economy. often city and new residential and business district is also home to hamburg the newest attraction the elbe philharmonie it's right next to the historical special spot which with its 19th century warehouses is a unesco world heritage site in one of the former warehouses the maritime museum documents 3000 years of seafaring history. ready ready the world's biggest model railway is also in the special start it also shows hamburg with the philharmonia and the port in miniature.

around the lake known as the inner allstar you'll find the old city center with a town hall 1800000 people live in hamburg making it germany 2nd largest city. ready ready its main church song michelle michelle for short is visible from afar. the hanseatic city offers plenty of places to stay the 4 seasons hotel and hotel atlantic are among the most luxurious. hamburgers one of the most visited cities in germany just behind berlin and munich . it took a long time and was more expensive than expected but it seems to have paid off the elk feel money concert hall has won many fans since its opening in 2017 that makes it quite difficult to get concert tickets but the visit to the observation deck the

plaza is free. a great new balcony 360 degrees pure hamburg. where are you from but i'm from the united states but i've been living in bahrain for 10 years. what do you do here i'm just here on a holiday spending the eat break in hamburg with my good friend young peter and enjoying the city where you from both from russia or voyeur up here at the other people money. because it's a landmark in hamburg and it's a place you have to visit if you're in hamburg in london come back because all this is a computer i heard that it's very difficult to get tickets to it so you just get in line and hope for the best and it wasn't a fluke is that at 6 pm we'll 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 so i'll give it

a try i seem to be lucky. but if you get good look at hamburg it's not just a port city hamburg is also a music city composers such as. and johannes bombs used to work here and hamburg has also left its mark on rock and pop music history. and hamburg sang probably district the beatles gained important experience for their international career it all started in the early sixty's on the state's office a legendary place that has made history. 91617 years after the end of world war 2 hamburg's rubble has been cleared away and its economy was flourishing. but the generation gap was huge young people were looking for alternatives and amusement. rock'n'roll was new and played an

important role but teenagers could only listen to it on the radio and in a few cups. says local big week month for advice leader and bucks and way to host found it was stuck up the name said it all. behind beyond almost i'm good we started up something that reflected the mood that was simmering among young people. that's why we put posters up all over hamburg saying the hard times are over and corny music has had its day and i managed to sign the beatles. we opened on april 13th 1962 with a big bang. disk night. and it has cost 2 to 5 months each of the pieces got $500.00 a week. i'll never forget how

a kid from the port who might have been able to shout out some orders suddenly had to announce the beatles. on the line if god was not going to be. i think the stock market starts 2 for the fab four's meteoric rise. they played a total of $79.00 gigs that. he says were ecstatic there was live music to 6 am 7 days a week. thousands of people could fit into the club magically attracted by stars they'd only heard on radio. from fats domino to little richard. but the enjoyment had its dark sides how big was home to a unique use protection squad that carefully scrutinize the sometimes under age visit his to the stock. sex drugs and rock'n'roll were thrown in the side of the

police some classic dialogues took place. you know how old are you i'll be 18 but when will you be 18 in august. you just turned 17 yeah. of course many hamburg teenagers trying to get into the hottest club in the city as a challenge. and seen by schools and i simply am and everyone under 18 has to leave. well beyond a little being and we found ways to get back into the kitchen once they caught us again. but less conformist teenagers remain to see and on what day is hardly anyone came. the rock and pop stars became more expensive in 1969 the star-club closed deep in debt. but.

the building of the star-club was later demolished and the courtyard of the new building you will find this plaque. probably is still one of the most famous districts of hamburg famous and notorious here you will find pubs and grandfathers a red light district and culture and all of it not far from the elba. hole the even has a small museum where you can find out what has shaped the district. because pollie was originally a border region between the danish city of atlanta and they had the attic city of hamburg residents here knew how to use this kind of free space dance halls and cheap entertainment have been a part of that probably since the 17th century. image of prostitution

crime evolved over the years because you're really just about. something is in constant flux i'd say the red light district image which now plays a role in many tourists perceptions and in marketing strategies it's very much influenced by the 1970 s. and eighty's. and. lots of clichés emerge that. for example the gold chains mullet hairdos and so. on survivor. you know really because so with these cliches they try to attract tourists by saying we have a red light district we have gangsters that like you just some people but only i think so. we have the some poly museum don't think of ourselves in that realm we try to present everything in the development of the district and we try to enable visitors to understand how certain myths were formed interesting to me and some are just myths and some are cliches and if she's to challenge or that the museum shows

portraits of women who have shaped. but some didn't so what did they do to earn a place on the wall either his it and here we see susie rich she and her husband own susie show bar and i think it's the only table dancing establishment under female management to get. to him and i find that quite important finish. the top does have business run differently or do they say so i will be better or worse farah what the women who work there say is clearly yes yes ok. it is there anything you would like to see changes from. time to right now i want to stop rents from rising so it remains possible for these things to develop niches and spaces where unusual concepts still have a chance and that's. why the nucleus then for up would have been here concept no i

don't look at the top undone think otherwise i think we should all recognize the value of a district that has experienced so much freedom and retained it over the centuries that it's special and the liberties we have are worth protecting. and so it's. done thanks that sums it up nicely. we regularly visit spectators who show us the sights of their hometowns in today's media local thought we went to houston texas it's the 4th largest city in the united states and it bourse interesting architecture and graffiti art as well as a space center. how do you welcome in houston my name is gonzo 247 i'm a graffiti street artist here in the city born and raised and i'm looking forward to showing you my favorite parts of the city.

so you might think you know houston usually when you think of it though you think cowboys horses and barbecue which we have but not all the times you think about graffiti is street art houston is a great time it's a great place and it's really open to the arts. so here we are right in the middle of downtown and you can see everything is bigger in texas we have the architecture we have the theater district we have everything you can eat the diversity is here this is our symphony texas size. ok we are downtown houston amongst the tower and skyscrapers at tranquility park a nice a waste of green space for the everyday person to enjoy inspired by the 1st phrase

spoken from the moon houston tranquility base here that eagle has landed. on one of the things i love about tranquility park really the name says it all if you can listen around you hear the nicest kind of coldness of the water it's very refreshing very soothing it's a really good place to come you have a hectic day in downtown you can come here relaxed. when visiting houston another must see is space and houston since we are the space city. so as a kid i used to watch these things go up into space it's amazing for me to be here in houston space city and be able to walk inside an actual space shuttle. so this is what it's like to live inside the shuttle check this out this is the sleeping bag where distract yourself in for a good night's rest. we even have the actual astronaut suit amazing.

luck or a long day in the city there's only one way to cool down and that's what a nice tall texan beer. well that was my day here in houston hope you guys had a good time hope you guys can call down next time you hear don't forget visit houston and so i lose. elba therese they are a pretty inexpensive way to do some sightseeing in hamburg the ferries belong to

the public transportation network. i'm on the way from design probably piers down the road that. everywhere there is something to see for example the museum harbor and. the people of hamburg are very proud of the harbor and they show that every year around the 7th of may on that day in the year 1189 emperor bobber also is said to have issued a license for the port and that's a pretty good reason to celebrate say over 1000000 visitors every year. even if the charter founding the port is a 13th century forgery people have been celebrating it since 1977 the birthday

bash attracts locals and visitors to the for 3 days. notice and everyone's always in a good mood it's always relaxed and handed is always worth seeing enough to shift it's great to climb on to the vessels and see how things work on the tall ships he does sort out for physical assyrian i've got everything the ports the atmosphere water the sea ships. the ports anniversary traditionally begins with the grand arrival parade with vessels ranging from motor boats to tall ships and all more than $300.00 ships come to the festival every year. but that was the specter. well it stands on to land where it's concerts on stages and vendors selling arts and crafts and food. topic of. among the festivals highlights is the traditional tugboat ballet

with skipper's acting as choreographers. the ports origins may be veiled in mystery but the people of this hanseatic city make the most of it with maritime displays and celebrations every year. you can also take a dip in hamburg's river after years of pollution the water quality of the elder is clean enough to swim in bathing in the elbe it has a long tradition is specially during the 19th century journalist and author helen kemp has already written 2 books about it like many locals she's

a fan of the river. what moved you to swim in the elba every day. oberst every day it's a great pleasure it's just wonderful. the elderlies at my doorstep i can go in it when i want i can do what i want in the air almost everything and this is sensuous experience the water in the flowing streaming rising and falling water i enjoyed immensely but what should i keep in mind when getting into the water there are certainly a few dangers as a man's are there as it is you have to be able to swim extremely well beginner's training is not enough. you should also be able to feel the river bed under your feet then you're basically safe that way you can always scramble out of the water if you need to so not a fun you shouldn't get too near the shipping channels you should swim when the water is rising because then it's coming in from the sea and at least feels cleaner than when it's ebbing and coming from the port not really of course never when

drunk and not in a thunderstorm all the traditional swimming rules that apply to lakes also apply here would not be all these were here in the old but there are certainly other people to do you think this is a new trend to get. i hope the custom of swimming in the alba returns. since german reunification many sewage treatment plants have been built in eastern germany and the water has become much cleaner and. for 20 or 30 years it was really dirty so i think the idea of having nature at your doorstep on the outskirts of a city with a population of millions and being able to use it out should be revived and then more and more people can see how lovely. mentioned the american beaches in hamburg have lots of visitors and that weekends in the summer and during school holidays there are many tourists in america and most know that the water ebbs and flows and avoid lying too close to the edge when the water is rising. make

so now of us are and will be. and what do you wish for the future should be area be developed more or do you have a concrete vision for how you see your city of hamburg and. yes i think it would be great to rethink been planning so that when something new is built and have that fear it takes the elder into account says the river remains accessible the course making sure the city remains protected as well. light light side. should only beginning as been made on the magellan terence's in the huff and city district the half an hour on the sun poly p. is. there are some good ideas there are steps leading to the sometimes into the woods and that's great when it works doesn't that it happens much to rarely. ok i love it thanks so much. of course i

have to try this now my 1st swim in the elbe it just the thing on such a beautiful summer day. now we leave the old and cross the atlantic because our weekly the mail takes us to mexico and guatemala we go from south korea has sent us his travel impressions it's a collage of adventures and fancy. here it. is going up. as you. can between now.

and you're going up. the hill. to. lobby or. there is hardly a better place to end the day on the displace the shotgun pellet bar it's famous in

hamburg what a wonderful view. 11. hamburg without the elbow that's impossible the river is hammers lifeline so on the one hand it's a useful traffic route and on the other it's in a way of tranquility so no wonder the elbow fascinates so many people including myself.
