soon. to be. discovered who. subscribe to the documentary. the. 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 to every culture around the site are called voice 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. course we also make a detour to the city's famous art museum there's. our globe trotters takes us to greenland from the capital nuke to the endless ice. and this week's viewer video shows a pressure off in the benchers journey through it was biggest.

high finance high rises and high rent frankfurt center was almost destroyed in world war 2 to clear a space for a new buildings i'd like to get a bird's eye view of it all my intel has an observation deck in 30 seconds if you assent 200 meters in good weather it's worth seeing the view of the city in the region has brought other travelers appeared to they come from all over. where you're from and i don't but 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 i so i'm like i like the part of the city that she took to the architecture all the contrast of all the nina that's really nice it's beautiful it's. the way 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 medal you both city and that 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 air raids in march 944 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 the golden scale was once owned by the dutch spice merchant and confectioner other home fun hummel.

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. fun rommel 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 but i can't say that about it 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 investments or given in

this nothing now i think it still looks very lifeless but can i say that the human element is still missing somehow i just come to maybe that will come when the right shops move in some shops have already opened like this wine bottle. businesses with a regional connection get preferential treatment when trying to sign leases in the new town this barber shop has been well received. with lower 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 he 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 a 1st step on the long road to democracy in germany was going to walk 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. i would do the biggest 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 1000 it's one of the birthplaces of democracy but aside from the painting everything so plain and so what is that one doesn't government. and that's because the church was entirely destroyed in world war 2 it turned out 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 1948 but in a very austere a contemporary style and inside. the. court. with her corner group who are now were coming up from the lower darkness

into the bright open space that symbolizes the new democratic beginning. then they will crowd even more begin the more you get and. the interior was left purposely austere the seeding plain. 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 the home you know what i'm going to have it poured out 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 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 a. used for a great many thanks. to the 2 to.

the next point of interest i'm heading for work is the river of 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 is you here 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 with the owners are just there the museum was founded in 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 centuries 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. was the obvious future mention museum is for people by purpose so i think it's especially valuable to gather together very different people from so many centuries . the state of director philip demand has selected exemplary works and supplemented them with back stories and notes. for example how

can we tell that a famous portrait of gosh i was left unfinished for a time and only completed later. on voters face in go to 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 money bears a hidden message that even touched off a scandal among his 19th century contemporaries. of the gaston which. such 1st glance it's a familiar dining table seen 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. at the moment passions a twist all of us and you know todd it's got more created a straightforward scene of jealousy of 2 men and one woman you can see it quite

clearly it gets 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 the pedestals so they can be understood not just mind through the stories behind the pictures. once again 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 its coming indication 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 museums one for fest and there's plenty to keep them busy . if.

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 globetrotters to 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 expedition. hello and welcome to greenland i am on the excited to show you a slice of this incredible place and look it's green 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 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 i guess approximately 30 to 40 minutes 30 to 40 minutes and that's a good spot to see new and the area around look from a golf. deviations. after one hour of hiking. 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 the view from me

is just incredible on this. year's new york surrounding mountains. and down there you can even see icebergs the big if you are new of course you need to take a boat and get out there into nature and. the right time has come. dinner tonight. we're now going to fish here just. maybe after next you. carry this oh yeah.

yeah i'm now spending directly on the greenland ice cap together with my guys nicholas here we have crampons on we have slept here was a quick note so where are we and what are we about to do now well we technically the middle of nowhere or sends us neighborhoods although it's called the ice cap the 2nd largest i skip in the world and we're going on the camp to sleep for the night. we just walked out here to the sunset spot. this is just. amazing.

now i've got an adventure lined up i for arranged to go stand up peddling on the mine. one morning lucas nice to see you looking forward to your mother on that set out for a bit of stand up paddling it's about his i've already done this by the way but it was in the sea in pretty calm it wasn't on flowing water does that make a big difference and if i'm well we'll have to watch out for the boats here on the river mine and we'll manage no problem letting them spawn him. but if i'm not i just get on the no yes 1st get down on your knee. so. well it's been

a while so it's a good thing i've got instructors like robyn and eileen at my side. rule . because. this is how you stand up well featured be positioned in the very middle of the board level with the strap from your hands and knees take to careful steps to make sure you're standing stable you know will try to put your heel down take the paddle and stand upright i don't go. barefoot. and if we had down the mine toward the city center it's only these ships weren't it where it is i'm a little nervous because i see waves you know you're holding up paddle backwards yeah i know. but it's all worth it for this view off the skyline

with a look screened. with your spouse it's a lot of fun. really nice. at the end eileen even shows off her yoga 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 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. this pardon is one of the oldest health spas any of our 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 that broke the pledge palace stands on the north bank of the rhine. the region as well known for its been yards and the hind gull things like make produce. the river rhine as lined with historic towns castles and how often but houses among them is a fellow at the rhine go districts largest town. a few kilometers away is the former aide a buck cistercian 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 in $871.00. the summit commands a spectacular view of the rhine valley as far as kurds find. a little town attracts around a 1000000 visitors every year. no excursion on the rhine go is complete without a stop at one of the many taverns for a glass. speaking of wine frankfurt has its own local varieties this one isn't made from grapes but

apples and it's called in the local dialect added boyo or simply apple wine. it's poured from a special jug called a bend it into a particular kind of cutlets. palm 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 has a shelf 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 to make it. also then the pubs didn't used to serve anything to eat or so people brought their own forced. on return freddy and with those greasy fingers 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.

what i'm eating there's our weekly vimeo for you every week we show your travel videos over from russia has sent us a video office trip through it was big tent with impressions of the capital tashkent but also with fantastic pictures from the landscape so it's just the perfect summer it was because that.

the for going clubbing in frankfurt i'd recommend the quarter around the main train station it's developed a lot the past few years it's rambunctious and lively a popular spot to meet up is not easy by lend us joke joke kiosk joke joke is turkish and mean something like never say never the 1st let's go why do you

think business is so good here you have competition but a lot of people gather around here why is that because of the room on cars we don't put on a show we don't say the customer is paying we say yes and we said from our hearts customers are our family. members are under stress at this road. it is my house and my house. i like to say i'm a native of franks but this neighborhood gives me this feeling that. he's a good business that's going to do it now and part of the family you know yes exactly come any time. i think frankfort lives from its contrasts on the one side you have that rough station district and on the other side the new old town then there are businesses

banks skyscrapers and the museum and 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 you bye bye see you next hour.
