today only the structures and the plants remain. but at the. last on the lake you river you get an idea of how the people of use their wealth of water later in the 19th century. to prevent recurring epidemics such as cholera a new water works was built 878 this allows the households to be supplied with clean drinking water directly via pipes advertise. i'm this state of the art technology cost a sensation throughout europe. but if you look at how ornate piece the floor is so chic 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 the tourettes of floor made of fine italian marble 140 years old everyone has destroyed a factory. the waterworks here close down in 2007 but the technology still works. and will stay by the water because now we take a trip to the black sea as you know every now and then we visit europe for all over the world who shows the most beautiful places of their hometown and this time it's off to but to me in georgia. comedy about i mean oh well coming back to me let me show you some of my favorite highlights of the black sea coast resort the city full of colors and adventurous. but to me it's mixture of the sea and the mountings protective. new modes all part of the new and more than one with it. why.

let it presents you my favorite part of the city but to me boulevard it dates back to 881 and 8 kilometers long directly to the 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 sounds of a way yes. what's the most fascinating thing to me sunset in the whole world the best thing about the bridge is that it's not and that's. right here in the boulevard there is a famous meeting point for the elder generation of the city they can be here with a play chess backgammon or dummy now and anyone can join them count let's play with

them. their money. they're coming here every day they chant about their currency shows politics economy and things that might lead to. georgia's famous for its walls and deers history of one major flaw and there are about 500 types of waves growing here just imagine being a few minutes away from but to me and being so close to the nature admiring the vineyards and the forests that's an imaginary.

you can't imagine how delicious and just so basic rapes are and now the fun part wine tasting counter but i'm a girl girl tell me honestly just. it's delicious one. of the. this is to talk about the us i practice a little bit. this is churchill up the most famous purchase we've made of different hues and fruits there are about 20 types of that these are made of walnut and hazelnuts with a grape juice because there is so we can delay should you should try this. now i would like to take you by the cab part of the last point and if they feel that they feel help.

from this place we had the best view of the city but i have to say goodbye now it's been a nice day and i loved being with you know how to beat him but to me now on these. you can see the wealth of fox sports as well as the water in many places in the city. this is the shot sloppily 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 expert banker built at the end of the 18th century the last owner gave the palace to the city of oaks book on the condition that it never be sold and only be used for cultural purposes the head of state museums list of people tells me that the

building has never been destroyed that's the showpiece of the ones i went up after side but yes that wonderful ball room with this fantastic ceiling for us. this is organized and everything is original 95 percent of the surface dates back to 1770 or so this is that this is a magnificent room. it's the biggest remaining private ballroom in germany in the piece of history. 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 surface is 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 are retained here

you know here 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. pleasure if i come to the ships up early and i have not seen this painting did i miss something just a city 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 warehouse that

understatement doesn't cash work well you can see that there's no jewelry there are no visible hands. that i always see as his dark cabin door code and the further he's wearing as well as the very valuable brocade hat that point to his wealth. this reserve was very typical for swabian merchants. to push for and trade. but what's the story here this is the man go to the painter and say paint me or did the painter come to him. he came to an imperial council here and asked him to paint him. because of course any one last would have been unthinkable if. there was already very famous the quality of the painting is obvious so 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. this i place to

and now let's switch from arts to theater or rather puppet theater because that's what the. is known for it has shaped many generations and i don't remember it from my childhood because you just can't forget fantastic stories like jim button. a fantasy world featuring tim burton and luke the engine driver with kings to 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 1953. ok quite down. the poor little cut look at scared if you keep asking so many questions you can't even talk it's so when you can it's 10 strings would material some glue all that's needed to make a pocket. play a lot with the head strings at the front using our middle and index fingers we have

to have flexible wrists so that we don't have to change our grip each time the proper turns i don't know if these are special property or ends. 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 characters in their mind and bring the puppets to life. busy busy busy busy busy after the 2nd world war his grandfather valter applied to the work municipal authorities for permission to run a puppet theatre it opened in a former hospital in 1948. busy busy there were 5 to 7 puppets here standing above the puppets and the speakers below in the pit it was tight the whole family was involved. his daughter had a lot i made her 1st puppets at the age of 13 his wife also made the costumes.

the theatre also went on tour with puppet shows for adults a puppet just like a fool can speak uncomfortable truths the company performed better told priced revolutionary 3 penny opera. not one young who had played pirate jenny at the berlin premiere in the late 1920 s. apparently wrote to the outspoken theater and asked for her own puppet. each mary that is still made by hand but it is only when there are strings or poled that they come to life. and. then its head goes down and the hunt goes in front of its face so it cries a little and then of its laughing its head goes up just like people with a laugh or.
