involvement with noir. his parents moved here at easter in 1900 and on december 30th théodore from tunnel was born up there on the 1st floor of this house. on the 1st front on the tried his hand as a pharmacist in berlin then he became a journalist a correspondent in london a theater critic and travel writer it was only when he was nearly 60 that he began writing his great novels. and. she has a nice building. that was the old secondary school among the many people who attended it were our théodore fontana as well as the architect karl thanks michelle. but the stuff wasn't clear in his school days that he would be a writer. ok. himself wrote that he wasn't

a very good student. how to become a writer even if things didn't go well in school i think the short i think a lot of it came from his father not necessarily the ability to write but to develop story. and if you want to pick up anecdotes internal mental new thing is that if they can walk away from town i like that about his father was something of a playboy. he felt that one ton a didn't really need to go to school but could learn things from the books and stories of other people. along with a couple of great father. bless you my hidey holes said from talking about his frequent absences from school and later in life as a travel writer he often returned to notable people and. the preachers widows home what's the link to fontana. what elf at one time his mother

and his sister lived here for some time during that time from tanakh often came to north of pain to write about his rambles through brandenburg. on to others and he often got his sister and liza to do research for him to consult people to go into churches and look through the registry books looking for people or to go to religious and describe even the sketch them. all those things flowed into from thomas book reading of the of the 2 of them had a really great relationship. with hayden is. in his rambles through brandenburg from time to also wrote critically of his birth place saying it was a bit lavish for such a small town but he did say it was beautiful it was situated on the lake you know and and and. out in from thomas childhood here in mobile being shaped him. i think much sean does from time i think that the wide open spaces here on the lake

and forest landscapes gave him a certain sense of home with his crew here and to get out of that spot and off to also move up and that was the trigger for him to start writing not about other regions but the one he came from. and which he came to love so much that later in life he wrote 5 books about it that escape. before i keep following my fun time route there are a few tips for you what else does brant burke have to offer especially now in the summer many tourists come here to the most watery state in germany. brandenburg has around 3000 lakes more than any other state in germany and the water quality measured at the lake shore beaches is generally excellent the

southern water's clean it's great swimming here sun sand what else. and then there are 33000 kilometers of flowing waters hobby navigators can traverse them to their heart's content a popular pastime is renting a houseboat the taller family comes from dresden and this is their 1st time traveling and brenda bruce waterways. is about this water is unique back home in saxony we also have small lakes but this rambling on the water spending a week hopping from lake to lake i don't think you can get that anywhere else. in the burbs abundance of water makes it a popular vacation spot since 1902 the annual number of overnight stays has nearly tripled from 4.6 to 13500000. you get the call of is it has mainly come from back then brandenburg saxony north rhine-westphalia yes you can say that 90 percent of the overnight stays are from germany and inland but last

year we had around a 1000000 foreign guests and your. friends suggest. one of the top destinations is the state capitol pottstown with its reconstructed city palace seat of the state parliament. it looks amazing. and i'm a big fan of the rock and old saying i love coming to see it. not so much i got. to see is perhaps part some as most famous palace but the person kings built many businesses and once here. the city was a royal residence in the 18th and 19th centuries. nowadays potts terms of cation surrounded by lakes close to berlin has attracted

many wealthy residents. the lake is lined with the juice homes. in the past few years the brandenburg capital has become one of the most desirable and expensive cities in germany. its 180000 residents include many young people plus the most free universities and more than 30 research institutes and. put some as i get some it's really a small big city i like that that's an income much less probably why so many people come or move here especially berliners because they appreciate that although we're smaller we have everything. you can also meet the city's most famous son in the museum. is one of the curators of an exhibition marking funtime his 200th birthday.

the one in people. this room has something really special. yeah there aren't very many remaining objects from from thailand which is why the no opinion is very proud to have this clock. it's the fun ton of families grandfather clock. it's really old it dates from 790 and the family owned it until 940 and kind of that it's nice to imagine that it not only stood in front on a study but that he wrote to the rhythm of this clock and you can kind of hear that . with him but he's so i'm hearing more from time to hurt their hearing what went on heard. and there is also installation about one thomas most famous novel if you policed. it's

a lot of material can you explain what it's all about. i and it's very simple this is the network of characters in the novel if you greased. we've put the main figures from the novel in this room. here this is effie that's her husband. here is the man who seduced her major compass and we've linked the characters with the pink text ribbon it's been with and why all these words on the floor that's why think those are the main knowns in f.a. priest we have them counted from a for ab and or evening to have fun z. for it which means tenderness hiatt or and what do you think the words are different sizes. from the bigger they are the more often they appear to now that's right wasn't it and now look at the pink words what do you see there . they're very long. exactly that's the 1st thing you notice there are the normal words and then there are these very long pink

words they are the funtown a sound so to speak but these are front on his own creations long compound now yes . when he couldn't find a word to describe a situation or a feeling then he created one himself. so you get a creation such as coziness ranking neuralgic comedy morris root heir are one pouring stunting are any of them still used to be. do you have a favorite were created by fontana. the fort has prejudiced foolishnesses one in winter acquaintance we asked ourselves for a long time what a winter acquaintance might be and we've ended up with 5 different definitions. of which is the most convincing. either making the acquaintance of winter lots of people picked that like seeing snow for the 1st time or the winter acquaintances

someone who always keeps a distance was aloof or an affair of christmas with an affair or an affair at christmas time that's popular too or that or it's someone you do wintertime things with like sledding or ice skating. or winter time friends who you don't want to see in the summertime winter acquaintance. but let's move on the departure moment this year. from tom there was an attentive observer as a traveler and that's why we also find him in his work about what he ate on his travels well and that's an inspiration for chefs today to rediscover fontana who were merrily. baker carl de mar plants in shanta on the hafele river got his inspiration from a poem by taylor a fun time. on a summer morning to take up the walking stick all your cast will fall away from you

like morning haze that was the origin of the walking stick they gave me the idea of making but gets in a fog of walking sticks. the bakery is one of 13 businesses that have taken up front on his cullen area legacy. restaurateur henry engle is one of the initiators he figured that the people who come here on the trail a fun time know will also want to eat something. as opposed to stuff was just a fun idea you don't want to develop new piece i don't want to just cook the same menu for 3 or 4 years and this. it's a nice challenge to market it gave us a chance to come up with something new lawson's modest noise. in his restaurant beer can hope angle offers a 3 course meal based on the real art of wild boar it's certainly in tune with fun town as well known motto craft fortunes are not for me. the artist casino and also has fountain on the menu the main courses feature freshwater fish trout and pike no surprise to find tons of fans after all the riders last completed novel was

named after lakes fish lean. in potatoes here lightly tossed in butter have been a staple since frederick the great introduce them. the fish served on the bed of root vegetables this is truly regional cuisine. and all this market from time to describes in this walk through brum going to is my religion my home. and if you want to experience fun town and not only the literal way but a common one when you look at the recipes that his grandmother friederich of shalott of entente of motown and all the cakes he likes you see that he was a bit of a glutton it's quite cute the way he was always nibbling on things were going to. force the font on a menu includes dessert it's called bread pudding a spice cake made according to fun time his grandmother's recipe and served with pear poached in red wine.

funtown his sister published their grandmother's recipes as a book in 1903 the meal ends with the dishes it's like a 4th course the chestnut look you're. around without fear but we've learned a lot about ted often town and his life not only about what he ate but what he drank and we found that he always liked the schnapps or the cure after a meal even after his coffee. so it's nice that we can serve the. this was aware 4th course of the fun time the menu to ground it all off. and ideal of a village church simple inviting nicely situated front on a road that about the church involves top gear he began in 859 with his rambling through brandenburg no village was too small for him no way to farm. this

house was built later but it's already over 100 years old now it houses a country with an exhibition of children's paintings of course their topic was from tonga. it is impressive that fontana was also curious about the most in conspicuous places. as a journalist from time to was also traveling to other countries in europe for example to england or to scotland and we're also travelling right now but it's going to northern ireland to visit chrissie greenway in our little local thought chrissie is going to show us her hometown belfast. hi everyone i'm christiane of the great pleasure of feeling here and i love. today . i love belfast the player the city the

hustle and bustle the mix of all of the new american artists and musicians and its roots in diverse history. so 1st of all i want to introduce this at the cathedral quarter so it's not just the oldest part about it's also one of the knights parts about us it's a beautiful cobblestone of some of the most amazing bars near. so just coming to the duke of york it's one of the oldest pubs in belfast it's back to the scene hundreds of lots of bars in belfast but this death you want to my favorites of. the old old bottles merz so it's a real iconic bar and the start of a really good time to start. as

a population of roughly $400000.00 but considering the size of the study we have a really impressive civic building a beautiful city hall which at the same time is also the home of our lord mayor. and. the next office are people titanic museum so it's a symbol of our industrial heritage but it's also a memorial for the many lies that were lost at sea and the reason the titanic was built here. at the turn of the 20th century was the largest and fastest growing industrial city and the british empire. on the time that we had a sort of a hotel on board of a ship. and. this is more like what i would have travel advice left in 1912 3rd class cabin so

a lot of the irish emigrants would have only had money to afford a small bed like this. you'll always be reminded of our. news one of the last remaining peace signs peace signs that we once had all across northern ireland used to separate the protestant from the catholic community. it's really become a remnant of the symbol of what used to be as you can see we've a lot of. those organized projects for both the communities where they come to. gather and just participates in the project. so you can see people sign all and leave their messages well wishes not just for northern ireland but also for peace all around the ward.

a gift from his father frederick the great rebuilt the palace and the rococo style and extended. the showpiece is the hall of mirrors. what was this room for that's for here for this was frederick the great ceremonial and concert hall he wanted him to take festivities and he wanted to give concerts here fredricka. as a passionate flute plan he wanted to play here for any managed to do so once because the room was finished so late. but in that tradition we put on small concerts here and there mainly chamber music concerts with a photo piano for example small concerts with space for up to 100 people. thrown up as one of them. writes back palace is considered the model for a song to see colors which frederick later build in potsdam in where he resided
