in the station districts. the. earth. for saving. does tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world ideas to protect the climate and boost green energy solutions. has been by a series of global 3000 long d.w. and online. a. few cities in germany are as easy to recognize as this one this skyline with so

many high rises can only be mined has an alias bank for it that is frankfurt. it's a classic among germany's city trips frankfurt with its exciting contrasts from the skyline to the old town and from the tavern culture around the cider called abu boy that i'm eager to try to the nightlife in the station district well and because it's summer i'll also be on the water. of course we also make a detour to the city's famous art museum this d.v.d. . our globe trotter takes us to greenland from the capital nuke to the endless ice. and this week's beer video shows the pressure of an adventurous journey through it was the biggest.

high finance high rises and high rent frankford center was almost destroyed in world war 2 they cleared space for a new buildings i like to get a bird's eye view of it all my intel has an observation deck in 30 seconds sent 200 meters in good weather it's worth seeing the view of the city and the region has brought other travelers up here to they come from all over. what are you from and i don't i'm here in paris where you're from the netherlands but what's so special about the city while i call it buildings it's kind of like new york and so i'm like i like the part of the city that she took to the top of the architectural the contrast of all the nina that's really nice it's beautiful.

it sounds contradictory but it's a fact in frankfurt there is a new old town and attempt to heal the wounds of war destruction and half the reconstruction they want to teresa wrecked a part of the many evil city and that's you all tell opened in 2018. germany's financial hub has rebuilt history in the heart of its old town. the area was almost totally destroyed by arabs in march 1904 now it's been resurrected as a testament to frankfurt's medieval past. architect and urban planning. has reconstructed the most ornate of the old buildings but golden scale was once owned by the dutch spice merchant out confection a home fun hummel. ringback gotten by the golden bargain

for the golden scale and partly for other buildings as well we were lucky enough to have a great number of original elements that had survived the war. and we managed to persuade the owner of large parts of the golden scales façade to donate the stones to us he had them stored in his library building. a family papers reveal details like the existence of a gilded waterspout shaped like a dragon. a total of 15 buildings have been reconstructed 20 more are entirely new they're built in medieval style some people criticize the project at 1st but today the new old town is a thing of beauty from aston i'd finished my 1st impression is that it's beautiful it's aesthetically pleasing i can say that about it a decorative facades came out very well i don't know how much money went into it that that raises the question of whether it was the right investment to make invest

its own to be the thinnest nothing now i think it still looks very lifeless but can i say that the human element is still missing somehow placed come to maybe that will come when the right shops move and some shops have already opened like this one by. businesses with a regional connection get preferential treatment when trying to sign leases in the new town this barber shop has been well received. this is what this is this area feels a little like a village. the restaurant owners all know each other in time and. besides the shops over 200 rental apartments have been built the new old town does indeed still seem a bit sterile as though it's waiting for the people of frankfort to fill it with life. says it was well worth it. only because we have this back can people here remember what was they can see that this was their past so now they can

also ask themselves about the future. right next to the new old town is the back and the old town hall this was also destroyed in the war and rebuild in the 1950 s. many of frankfurt's buildings have had a checkered history they aren't what they were originally meant to be st paul's church for instance is no longer a church it was the 1st structure to be rebuilt after the war this is where the 1st pan german national assembly met after the revolutions of 848 the 1st step on the long road to democracy in germany was kind of what again a visitor learn here. the mural was only put up in 1901 it's by your highness cuts go and shows the procession of the deputies to st paul's church. of the dubious gentleman with solemn expressions are supposed to be the deputies there were about

$200.00 nuns and then you have scenes from daily life scattered throughout and references to history as well of course it's a bit ambiguous on the one hand it's called the procession of the deputies to st paul's church but it comes across a bit like a funeral procession and of course that alludes to the fact that the paul's church parliament failed parliament. the 3rd and it's one of the birthplaces of democracy but aside from the painting everything's a plain and sober what is that one doesn't government. and that's because the church was entirely destroyed in world war 2 with it are now all but the outside walls they were left standing but the whole interior everything inside burnt all that remained was this giant round room there after the war they rebuilt st paul's church for the centennial in 1988 but in a very austere a contemporary style and inside. the. court for her vote through arnold now we're coming up from the lower darkness into

the bright open space that symbolizes the new democratic beginning. there will be more because the more you get and. the interior was left purposely austere the seating plane. and the floor just sandstone or. the only part that's a bit fancier is the speaker's podium and the rostrum behind it over with and what is this hall used for today is the home you know what i'm going to give it or drive today it's used for special events in fact it's one of germany's most significant event locations every year here for example the peace prize that the german book trade has been awarded since 1950 the got a prize one of the highest honors of the city of frankfurt is also awarded here plus major anniversary observances are held here it's. used for a great many thanks. to just sort of.

the next point of interest i'm heading for is the river mine the woodbine bridge from here you can see another of the city's highlights the art institute. for it as a business and banking city also has a lot of art and culture to offer pretty concentrated on the banks of the mine therefore the name museums or the museum embankment and right now we introduce you to the probably the most important in frankfurt. frank church data museum is famous for its historical masterpieces we see fallen heroes. mismatched couples. famous men. fascinating women. in painting after painting.

standing was there was just a the museum was founded an 850 and it's the oldest civic museum in germany there in 7000 square meters of space we display some 1000 works of art from 7 century asked so it's a comprehensive overview of art from the middle ages to the present. those who don't have an opportunity to visit frankfurt can take the museums virtual tour it allows you to peruse 56 outstanding works of art at the click of a mouse from the comfort of home taking you on a journey through the centuries deep into the realms of cultural history. is for mention museum as for people by so i think it's especially valuable to gather together very different people from so many centuries. the state of director philip dinant has selected exemplary works and supplemented them with back stories and notes. for example how can we tell that

a famous portrait of gotcha was left unfinished for a time and only completed later. on go to his face in good in the campania is world famous of course but if you look down a little you'll see that one leg is longer than my other and he's got 2 left feet wide so something clearly went wrong with his picture. and this painting by manet dares a hidden message that even touched off a scandal among his 19th century contemporaries. often there also because such 1st glance it's a familiar dining table scene in reality this is a portrait of his lover together with her illegitimate son and of course that didn't sit well with the ideals of respectable society at the time around $870.00. passions a twist all of us out in the top at that moment created a straightforward scene of jealousy of 2 men and one woman one you can see it quite

clearly you get straight to the point one is all green the other all yellow and she's in the middle red is a beat it's quite a scene. from still museum lights taking its treasures off their pedestals so they can be understood not just mind through the stories behind the pictures. once a year frankfurt pays tribute to its many museums with a big bash on the banks of the river mine the institutions that take part include the city's film museum and it's coming acacia museum. since it was 1st held in 1908 the festival's drawn into the biggest in the region now some 3000000 people come to the end you will museum some for fest and there is plenty to keep them busy.

it's hot out here today time to look for a little shade. now we cool off a little bit as you know we regularly show you the adventures of our globe trotters the finish and this time steve has been to the largest island in the world greenland he visited the capital nuke went fishing and also did a pretty frosty expo. hello and welcome to greenland i am excited to show you a slice of this incredible place on the. screen and make it mean something like cape the foundations of the city actually go back to this guy here his name is hans

. and he was a danish missionary who built this church over here and fun fact his house which is the yellow one over there is the all those towers in all of green and now he was my boy sally he's from new york and we actually know each other from instagram and he took me up here to hike to the top of. yes so how long will it take us i brought him a live 30 to 40 minutes 30 to 40 minutes and that's a good spot to see a new area around look from a gaffe. deviations. after one hour of mining. but we're not so lucky today because when you look from here you can't see anything 2 days later and i decided to come back because the sun came out. and i'm glad i did because if you're from

yes just incredible. here in new york surrounding mountains. and down there you can even see icebergs. if you are new of course you need to take a boat and get out there into nature and. the right time has come. in that's. for now going to fish here and just. maybe have been actually. aaron. oh yeah. fish.

view of the skyline as he looks weren't. the police but it's a lot of fun. really nice. at the end eileen even shows off her skills on the board well she's braver than i am. shop or. if you're in frankfurt and you want to make a little detour i recommend think i go only 40 kilometers away it's a romantic natural landscape with lots of tasty wine and we start in the state capital of has it responded. these pardons as one of the oldest health spas and europe the city is shaped by the facilities surrounding the old courthouse or spa house the park reflects the

tradition of english garden landscape and. like the rest of the city the baroque the place palace stands on the north bank of the rhine. the region as well known for its been yards and the hind gullies lignite produce. the river rhine is lined with historic towns castles and how often but houses among them is age for left behind our districts largest town. a few kilometers away is the former sister sion abbey established in 1136. much of this can be seen from the rhine gliding past on an excursion boat. this is also where the romantic rhine begins and unesco world heritage site since

2002. a gondola that brings passengers up to the need of old monument on a hill above where does time. it commemorates the founding of the german empire and $871.00. the summit commands a spectacular view of the rhine valley as far as heard as fine. a little town attracts around a 1000000 visitors every year. no excursion on the find out is complete without a stop at one of the many taverns for a glass. speaking offline frankfurt has its own local varieties this one isn't made from grapes but

apples and it's called in the local dialect edid void or simply apple wine. it's poured from a special jock called a bend it into a particularly kind of cut glass. why the lozenge cut on the glass. it's called that because of the laws and shapes the people of frankfurt have their own dialect and they just call them rips the apple one used to be a lot cloudier so these ribs are there firstly to give the impression that it's much clearer than it is. in the pubs didn't used to serve anything to eat or so people brought their own forced. on return for those greasy finger has it's easier to hold on to a class like this than one that's totally smooth so form follows function they may not have known it at the time but they did it anyway here's.

businesses banks skyscrapers and the museum i'm back now and i think it's exactly that mixture that makes frankfurt so exciting to preserve its own history and at the same time to be open for something new by cynics type.
