12:33 am
start here right. yeah i did you can yes the standard ones do it's from here that munich involved this is actually the intersection of the 2 districts and lange and . they were older than me and itself the soul to pass through here and salt was sold by the machines i left mary's column. this is where the monks lived which is where munich got its name and this was the main market square when it got to be too small the market moved to the 2 argument and this quest of 5 because nobody was allowed to build on it about we had no. right on martin platt's you'll find the don't use it a traditional restaurant popular with tourists and locals alike it serves all kinds of the varian specialties from port knuckles to veal sausage and if you're lucky musical accompaniment.
12:34 am
we're ordering what's known as a blood site typical for munich. what's here on the board. as a they've got a variety of bavarian specialties here in the cheese gone and we've got the all but stout specialty consisting of come over and batter very rich but very tasty with red onions and we have various sausages here and that's pork lard with cracklings and dried onions this is an educational trip for me is sampling the local specialty stay part of that kind. of business cause that's really not like callen their way out is absolutely culture yes we have a lot of high culture orchestras 60 museums everything the heart desires in terms of classical and contemporary arts. and then we're going to the broad spectrum of everyday culture as beer beer gardens eating and drinking and spending time together. all this makes it possible even for visitors to take part in the city's
12:35 am
life and activities. want to climb the steps time and know what's the difference between a learning holiday and the regular one you don't have much else if you know your horizons has a lot to do with getting to know a city's culture as if you were actually living here. you could learn how kings had their houses built on audience plots over the centuries for instance or contemplate the urban arts or watch people surf on the ice bath and a bit all other and the building simply discovering that munich is so much more than beer and tasty food. things that munich has that been reduced to unfairly not as many muslims and often. we're trying to open up and say hey munich has a lot to offer a whole range of culture and learning opportunities to work. in a country but. i don't want to reduce munich but i'd still like to just find have a place. it's the little stuff.
12:36 am
apparently educational trips to munich a very popular no matter what arts culture history or food but before we continue with our educational offerings here's a brief overview of what you should know about munich. munich is the capital of the state of bavaria and lies in southern germany within sight of the alps. about one and a half 1000000 people live here and over 8000000 tourists passing through the city annually. munich is probably best known for the world's largest beer festival the october fest. but visitors to the city will find much more than just typical bavarian kaleri treats. there are also many sides to see.
12:37 am
for instance the frauenkirche. to victor ali unmocked. and audience cuts. munich also has an impressive array of art venues. over 60 museums and galleries vie for attention here. i'm going to spend some time in one of those museums. because i want to learn about the art in munich. a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. and i'm getting a private tour from hard to story and. she'll be revealing some of the secrets of the idea treasures. for let's have a look at this world. i'm
12:38 am
a self-portrait of i but i still are even numbers one thing this self-portrait with fur trimmed robe why didn't you appeared himself in this pose a portion of the mind. via the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and they were considered craftsman and the way do you have represented himself here was something completely new oh yes that's. new for the year 1500 that is this reprint ation of himself bears a resemblance to christ for whom until that point frankly perspectives like this have been reserved. to be could you take a picture of me with conceded do you get with the conceited you've got. the next painting is by i wish i'd offer it depicts the famous battle of alexander officers in the year 333 b.c. . then to think of an author just a quick look at the painting can you point out alexander to me and he thinks that
12:39 am
he's on that ridge sure thing which is being pulled by 3 horses that guy perched about the other is and i'm guessing that's him. if you think so his rather prominent but interesting me that's actually daria's. i picked the loser of the battle catalina glad on the surest me that it happens to a lot of museum visitors. i'm not downplaying it's hard to overlook the cord hanging down from the tablets and if you follow the cord straight down it will lead you to alexander sitting on a horse it's as if your eye is being directed to where you should look in the picture. next comes this huge painting the last judgment by peter. it. is one of the lips in you know one that now or in the 17th century the 30 years war this was the tallest work and it determines. proportions here. it's really the
12:40 am
most mechanistic self-image you hear in the people could take. you can't imagine how many people pose in front of it all of the last judgment of all things. that's my cue. i'm not the only one learning something during my educational trip to munich so did a tour group from the us well they were not on their own but with colder that's a nonprofit educational travel organization and we tagged along. langton in showing a group of american travelers one of munich's most popular attractions the famous glockenspiel on the old town hall. but this is a very particular group of tourists because the diversity of people who come people
12:41 am
who are on the whole well educated reflection of what happens in the case and. knowledgeable. people but also people who are inquiring the new people who want to see something new and perhaps hear a different perspective. this group of knowledge hungry americans is on a weeklong tour of munich and a very organized by road scholar. this spending an entire day on the site in munich city center. this is. rhodes scholar was founded with the intention of providing educational adventures for older age groups based on the idea of lifelong learning and it's a nonprofit organization so the revenues from these trips can fund other social projects and new programs as well.
12:42 am
the next stop is the lace for rock as a church. rhodes scholars program engineer all the childless who appear to have a special interest in educational travel. they include not just tourists but also talks by professors and other experts. the organization office everybody 1000 adventures in the 150 countries. the group moves on to munich's call and. the main thing here is to get the volume of the school the in your mind good to see what the court has. gone. but most of the participants appreciate the background knowledge and details they learn on the top. down other guided tours in germany this was a bit more thorough he's there for you are more background it's much better than sitting home reading about things just go places and it becomes interesting and
12:43 am
touches you and then you go back and you can read or open my mind. for most of these 9 people seen the dense was the highlights of the day. it's the foremost city palettes of the varian princes and kings the group visit only a few special rooms such as the antiquarian but the explanations are comprehensive . carolyn anderson has done a lot of educational travelling in. 38 trips. yeah i like growth scholar. i've been many points of view. but after almost 8 hours the tour is nearing the end. but everyone in the group is still listening intently. and one should never underestimate the travelers insurance and thirst for knowledge. you see when.
12:44 am
learning about the history of a place is often the focus of an educational trip in germany the nazi period in particular has left its mark on many cities in the country and that includes munich . i want to know more about that so i've decided to spend some time at the munich documentation center for the history of national socialism near the curate exploits . historian doug deedle walks me through the exhibition the how was munich important to the nazis and the nuts and i've been to the winston. munich was at the center of the national socialism this is where the nazi party was founded here i'm going from here we have a photo from 1903 a few years after the party was found that it was the party leader by that and it was here that he gave them to righty became more and more popular because here he's speaking to 1800 people in munich's burger boy colombia whole like those beer halls
12:45 am
which are still popular today offered hitler a forum an audience for his speeches. it's where he spoke to the masses and spread his racist and anti-semitic ideology. he didn't mention how does munich deal with all this today the fact that this is where it started before. you disturb me in the meantime i mean it takes a very critical approach to this house is financed by the city of munich but the fact that munich was the birthplace of a city that gave rise to the nazi party is a topic that wasn't talked about for a long time before. this documentation center has played a key role in breaking that silence it is situated on the very place where what was known as the brown house once stood that was the party headquarters in the 1930 s. an entire nazi administrative district was constructed in the area it had 68
12:46 am
buildings and 6000 workers. to allow me to fully understand the scale of things the leader shows me other places in the area which are also connected to the nazis sorites next door is the former through the bowl which housed hitler's office and those of his staff today it houses the university of music and performing arts munich. we continue along b. and i started to what is now the by the show like this by the very end state bank. and there i think it was when it does look as if it will spark a palin originally stood on the spot. that was a small palace for the vacant smart family. and then october 19th $33.00 it became the get stuck poll headquarters there just to. hear the nazis planned the persecution of political opponents and jews a few steps away
12:47 am
a memorial commemorates the victims of national socialism. our final stop is the clearly splits it was the sight of many nazi spectacles of parades. and this is where i say goodbye to defeat it. now it's time for our weekly we may have flawed as you know you can send us your travel videos and we sure are here and check in this time would be here or has sent us a video of his educational trip to mexico he has visited the famous. and i have to admit i really would have liked to come along.
12:49 am
plan art history and culture i've already gotten to experience all those aspects of an education oriented holiday now i'd like to find out more about munich's traditions and one that centuries old here involve spear bring it and drinking it so everybody was nice to have you here. bring seminars are offered here regularly this one is being led by dr you of of the munich brew mafia. first we hear what beer is made of water pipes malt and east.
12:50 am
it smells a bit rancid doesn't it. you know now let's fill it up then we start grinding our models we've got 3 kilos here and we need a strong muscular guy. that's me right. here so this is easy. the ground malt is then steep in hot water it's a process known as smashing. the little. so beer you should i wouldn't say so. it's a bit. of the stuff. after a while the mashing is done. then comes the lottery which means separating the liquid from the grain residue we can give it a taste there is still no alcohol content at this point. was.
12:51 am
as simple as it is this is the multi residue this. isn't the most i don't want her sweet. you know i didn't try it. about one of them told us that all the sweetness has been washed out. the next step would be to add hops to the liquid they give periods taste and then yeast is added for fermentation that makes beer an alcoholic beverage but it's a long process so we only learn the theory but it would be a shame to go home without wetting our whistles so if a seminar ends with a tasting of the many different varieties of beer made by the munich group. we can face pretty soon the 1st all of the local fox local sewing us their hometowns and this time we visit but the nice to meet up to columbia. i'm going to. and i'm cloudy and said my best with justice and together we'd like
