he takes her sewing. with all the wonderful people and stories that make the game so special. for all true fans by. becoming more than football online. today my destination is like the former east german city where the peaceful revolution began in the autumn of 1990.

all started here. with a so-called monday demonstration. this sculpture the democracy belt is a reminder of those events. tens of thousands took to the streets the fall of the berlin wall followed and communist east germany was history. the city of lights took its future into its own hands extensive renovation were huge building projects and large investments followed. 30 years after the peaceful revolution lights it has become a pretty exciting city everything seems possible here so it's just the right time for a trip into the cities past and present. we

visit one of the creative hotspots i'd like to. we take a walk through the possibility with your leaf. and we sure wave your video with holiday greetings from japan. st nicholas church is the symbol of the peaceful revolution of 1989. a church that has always been closer to the people but to those who were in power it dates back to the 12th century and was donated by like citizens. in 1980 s. this church was the only place where the people of life could speak openly about the conditions in east germany. open for

everybody that's the motto of st nicholas church starting in 1902 people were invited to peace prayers and in fall of 1909 thousands gathered here 1st they took part in discussions and then everybody went out into the streets to demonstrate against the east german regime. an exhibition in the church tells the story of the peace prayers east german citizens called for a dialogue but the regime refused to listen anger and frustration group that peace prayers played a major role in keeping the people calm the demonstrators carried their peaceful protest out of the church and into the city this pillar reminds us of that. if you want to know more about what was going on in life that a bad time a recommended tour of the places related to the peaceful revolution and where does

it start of course right here next to st nicholas church. the meeting point to st nicholas church. city guide karen choiceless shows tourists the focal points of the events of autumn $989.00 she knows what she's talking about because she took part in the monday demonstrations. during the 1980 s. the monday prayers drew more and more people who no longer agreed with the social developments in this part of germany the communist east. in order to understand what happened back then the group heads for the form of contemporary history. it provides a comprehensive picture of the division and me unification of germany. the origins of the s.c.d. the ruling east german communist party. daily life and how the state owned

enterprises operated. the fall of the berlin wall in 1909 opened the way to freedom it also meant the loss of a home and earned identity topics the foreign consciously focus upon. its being nice to me with this is why it isn't called a museum but a forum. we wish to initiate discussion about this it's a great deficit that we don't talk to each other instead everyone has their own cliches and prejudices. east and west have to talk to one another north and south rich and poor. this house is meant to serve as an example for that. is an open invitation to visit us here and engage in conversation. on things with political. will the monday demonstrations began in 1909 nobody could know this was the

beginning of the end of the east german regime. filming the events was dangerous. current scheuer leads the way to a place where 2 activists fill in the legally. is that from here that this reform church is the exact spot where the 1st foot each of our monday demonstration was shot. more than. the full immaterial was done secretly 100 to a western journalist. so this journalist smuggled this little real from east to west in his underwear and he succeeded. and that is you know. there were fears that the secret police. for starters he would discover everything. its headquarters were called the round corner. today it's a museum and a memorial. it provides

a chilling insight into how the stars he operated an old listening device used to eavesdrop on town hall style of a machine for opening letters. by witnesses guide people through the exhibition it's not a multimedia show or an interactive museum everything looks just like it did back then and that's the intention. for them and in fact proof on the not according to textbooks and research this exhibition shouldn't work at all we should have a single visitor especially young people would run away screaming but just the opposite is the case of. the star as he was responsible for monitoring and repressing the east german citizens on across the splats current showing recalls that the revolution was largely a peaceful one. in their fleetness have ever let so revolution without a single death we can be so happy and grateful we had the chance to experience it

so where else did anything like that take place of that kind and so was. in memory of this a story or some of 89 lives excel abrade sunlight festival every year in october 9th and then once again augustus plots looks like it did back then. before the fall of communism lights used to be great rundown and many houses were derelict bet's hard to imagine today one man who witnessed and accompanied this transformation is going to call me by. the most. what was life like water for in 1909 especially the inner city area what did that do to the people as you can imagine the leipzig of the 1980 s. as a city that had fallen into the depths of despair. after 20 to 30 years of hardly any

renovation many of the buildings were in a desolate state and that affected people. people that had close links to leipsic for many centuries so it was painful for them to see the city center in particular to case so badly. for a few and then my opinion this per condition of leipzig buildings was an important factor in triggering the 1st protests in the autumn of 1909 that eventually led to the peaceful revolution can be done in the. other for this place is one of the most important ones chronicling the developments of recent years and decades. brought along

a little book that illustrates the transformation of this very same corner building . this one here exactly this is part of what we call the tri fugue him which was heavily damaged during the 2nd world war. period to see the situation of the early ninety's after the war damage and 40 years of east german rule had been stabilized to make it safe then in the 1990 s. the entire complex was restored. in no other german city can you find so many fine buildings from the 19th century that has been a trade fair location since the middle ages. and makes a 1000000 the 1st breath of life to trade for a privilege in 4097. lites he took advantage of that and centuries later with a brilliant idea the city became leading trade for a location in the world. you will annoy messing with the new trade show

was created here the sample for until 895 when it was 1st held trade fairs the world over took the form of trading 1st of all the merchandise was brought to the fairgrounds and offered for sale with the industrial revolution conditions changed sellers looked around for a new kind of fare from gentlemen the sample fair was the type that dominated the world's trade fairs only one sample product was presented buyers made a contract and it was delivered and this invention then conquered the world 917 the double m. trademark was copyrighted because we did. the double entry for a logo has become a trademark for like c. . in the city center treat for buildings were constructed during the 19th century the best known and most famous is the made love. and the legislators went even further to develop the structure for the sample affairs known as fair palaces starting around 1900 over 2 dozen of them popped up around central leipsic

many of them in the form of passages. in the bottom floors of the displays to the state on the upper floors the actual fair spaces were conceived as one way layer it's like an ikea so once again if you would about you you know as all the visitors are brought up to one floor and the fair organizers have to make sure they don't get away. with it is what they have to go all the way around and once they're satisfied just like an ikea today they go on to the next floor. and it out of those office so this one way layout became the model for the sample fair palaces of leipzig inner city thought about through the system as opposed to no shot from the . opposite. the media you can find the old trade exchange it is as beautiful as a palace and here you can also find an old acquaintance your envoy is going for he

studied in life and he was thrilled with the life in an elegant cosmopolitan city. tokyo lies some 9000 kilometers east of bet's where our weekly bureau video comes from someone who sent us holiday readings from japan thank you very much and here's your video.
