we find this bronx monkey it's a much photographed landmark of title back. what does this monkey want to tell us that we are as ugly as he is and that's why he holds a mirror up to us but he also has an enticing promise anyone who touches the mirror will become rich allegedly that is and those who touch his fingers will return to heidelberg. so it seems i'll be revisiting heidelberg fan. course title back castle is high on my list of things to do. also on the show our weekly v mail comes this time from the frosty distillation of the antarctic. and in our series meet

french troops destroyed it during their occupation of the city in the 17th century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. come i found solace in the height of. the guy that was a refugee from the french revolution and he was horrified how can we use this council as a quarry and we had to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule and arguing that in this state it symbolized the very notion of romance and stars last. month. only a small portion of the castle was rebuilt as a museum. and also displays the style in which the rich and powerful core 1st lived. but above all it's the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world it's been especially popular among americans since the 1924 broadway hit about all title bad. tooth musical what are more of its now from

broadway in the musical became the longest running show in broadway history books and suddenly every american knew about heidelberg when this idea of the good old germany with its beer drinking students a little romance a little forging love captivated the american imagination. the castle is surrounded by an expansive park. with its exotic plants not parents and. it was considered an 8th wonder of the world. in the summer months the council takes center stage as the perfect backdrop for the city's annual theater festival. i shop.

and what better way to end a romantic day than on the banks of the knacker with a view of the light show and fireworks and of in town 3 times a year. by full of the scent of romance to heidelberg smart kids where. this is where you'll find the town hall and the church of the holy spirit. but. today the church is protestant but that wasn't always the case in the past it was a times used by catholics and then again by lutherans there were even times when both denominations celebrated mass and the church separated by a wall. this

building just across from the church is a rerun they saw jim commissioned by a coffee merchant it's no hotel it survived all the wars and fires that revenue to the city and today is a list that monument. i think you've had a great taste of title back so far that's why you meet the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in. from thailand. took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video for that and now enjoy the v mail. it's really hard. to.

next vino takes me to the library nearby it houses a priceless treasure the codex monday said. hello and welcome to our historic ground reading room one thing one librarian martin missing shows us the precious book well it's a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. this is. it's a collection of german a ballad and lyrical poetry and the works of about $140.00 singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly voters wonderful writer that's a good thing to so it's like a really big songbook yeah pretty much. the book was written and illustrated between 131314 it's not just a key source of mediæval songs with its portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the age of chivalry.

there are many other valuable manuscripts in the university library they're being digitalized here page by page. now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library. we move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in 201-2011 it's open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here it's the perfect place to quiz vino about life in hydra back. you know what do you study in heidelberg studio to hear a bachelor's in southeast asian studies with

a focus on history and ethnology especially my native sri lanka and south india. and why in hyderabad like oh definitely several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation it's internationally renowned. it's also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with the university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head and off that i don't need to take. it or does it and it's not only german students here right there from all over the world. but it's all right heidelberg is very international and so was the university we frequently have students from india pakistan bangladesh who start their master's program here we also run a lot of summer and vacation courses. here so why is highly back known as the student tell us oh i thought i think that has a lot to do with the history heidelberg university was founded in the 3906 and for

many decades and centuries a quarter of the population was made up of students. so i don't fit a lot of the and then there's the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after they've been studying hard. on. nothing. sounds like a place to really go crazy with that in mind i have another tip for you. some things never change students have always liked party and in the past those.
