2:31 am
missing out some of their includes the. best stop the capital of the various. because begins is to at the city's mucky and shots or alley lady's square i'm in munich and i want to get up there. old feature that's the bell tower of the city's oldest parish church is called it's known for its spectacular view but. 360 that's. that's kind of exhausting. it's worth the effort though. up here the whole city is spread out before you. eat meat.
2:32 am
i think that's the perfect view down there you can see that square that's the town hall and right behind the throne cure here. now that i've gotten an overview of the city if i could start on my tour it is said that travelling is the best education so i should learn a lot here in munich this city has lots of art history and culture that spans the range of several centuries i have decided to go to an art museum 1st the idea. in a good 700 paintings by european artists from the 14th to the 18th centuries are exhibited here. i'm getting a private tour from our to story in cali not last long she'll be revealing some of the secrets of the i.d.p. that critics treasures.
2:33 am
if not for the 1st let's have a look at this world famous self-portrait of. even the number one who received it is the self-portrait with fur trimmed robe why did i do a pinch himself in this pose portion of the mind. the fact that time artists were more or less unknown nameless and they were considered craftsman and the idea had represented himself here was something completely new wheels that's all he knew for a 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 to concede to get with the conceit to do the. next comes this huge painting the last judgment by peter paul rubens.
2:34 am
is innocent since you know not now or in the 17th century the 30 years wolf that this was the tallest we're going to determine the proportions here. it's really the most magnetic self-image you hear and if you could take. the 3 here you go to imagine how many people pose in front of all of the last judgment of all things think. that's my cue. now it's time to delve into history i want to learn more about the city's role in the nazi era. a good place to do that is the documentation center for the history of national socialism scots. historian doug regal walks me through the exhibition. in how was
2:35 am
munich important to the nazis and not another to the mention of. munich was the center of the national socialism this is where the nazi party was founded yama 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 gained notoriety and became more and more popular because here he's speaking to 1800 people in munich's burger boy be a whole like those beer halls which are still popular today offered hitler a forum and 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 and before that insertion of this stuff in the meantime i mean it takes a very critical approach to this house is financed by the city of munich but the
2:36 am
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 buildings and 6000 workers. to allow me to fully understand the scale of things shows me other places in the area which are also connected to the nazis sorites next door is the former through which housed hitler's office and those of his staff today it houses the university of music and performing arts munich. we continue along be a national asset to what is now by the sheer luck in this book the very end state bank.
2:37 am
and there i think it was when it was a little difficult originally stood on the spot. that was a small palace for the vacant smart family. and then october 19th 33 it became the get stuck her head quarters. here the nazis planned the persecution of political opponents and jews a few steps away a memorial commemorates the victims of national socialism. art and history now i'd like to learn a bit more about munich's traditions and one that is centuries old here is beer brewing it and drinking it brewing seminars are offered here regularly this one is being led by doubt you wish to use them of the munich broom up here. first we hear
2:38 am
what beer is made of water hops malt and east. smells of. good ransom doesn't it. get all from ok now let's fill it up then we start grinding our model 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 just a. little. so beer you should i would say so. it's a tart. and this is. after a while the mashing is done. then comes the law tearing which means separating the
2:39 am
liquid from the grain residue we can give it a taste there is still no alcohol content at this point. was. as simple as it is this is the multi residue this. isn't the most i don't want her sweet. go ahead and try it. about one of them don't understand all the sweetness of them washed out. the next step would be to add hops to the liquid they give pierrots taste and veggies does 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 sylva 7 and ends with a tasting of the many different varieties of beer made by the munich group the farmer let's start with the munich classic communiqué a lager. that we can hold the
2:40 am
beer up to the light this one has a relatively light colored some cloudiness to it. and the beer has a flower recent citrusy. and i was going to drink it in there. and find the 1st step is delicate i swear it. there's not a lot of carbonation. when you swallow there's a bitterness that reflects the moment that's in it but it was with. my visit to munich proved beyond all doubt travelling can be educational even for your taste buds unfortunately my visit to munich is over but it was fun and i have learned a lot arts culture history of all there i have to admit munich's really got something. next we turn to one of the oldest cities in bavaria indeed in the whole of germany. nichol is
2:41 am
going to show us how you can still look. i'm standing above the danube over on the shore you can see the beautiful old town and this bridge is the stone bridge built at the beginning of the 12th century it's believed to be the oldest surviving bridge and germany. to be honest the bridge doesn't look that old that's because it's been completely restored over the past few years after all reagan's work has a title to defend and since 2006 its old town including this bridge has been a unesco world heritage site today i want to get to know regensburg what attracts is interested this unesco world heritage site and what does the constant influx of tourists mean for the city this much is certain it's going to be a journey through 2000 years of history. the fact that reagan's burn is such an old and well preserved city is largely things to it not having been destroyed in the
2:42 am
wars and its importance as an imperial city in past centuries. a testimony to its former significance is the gothic cathedral. construction began in the 13th century and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time. next to the one in cologne reagan's birth cathedral is considered to be germany's most extraordinary gothic cathedral. reagan's berg was not only important because it became a bishop seeing fairly early on the danube was a significant trade and traffic routes. and here on its banks in the old town hall
2:43 am
the perpetual diet was held for over 140 years. from the 17th to the early 19th century reagan spoke was actually the capital of europe a bit like brussels today. that the natural diet was convened in $1663.00 just a few years after the 30 is rules. representatives from all countries from all cities gathered here they were supposed to discuss taxes and military issues but the talks then dragged on for so long that they never came to a final agreement on tibet horror at least not for 143 years until 1806 is to someone that's makes the whole not the. next i have an appointment with my ts fi tak at the noise plots where he shows me the outlines of the former jewish synagogue. dragons' burg is like many many evil cities if you dig here it's likely you'll discover something in 1905 traces of the
2:44 am
2000 year history of the city were uncovered during construction work on plots. with her. you're. looking as you've probably noticed we're underground now some version with the wall with the ark that's classical middle ages about 700 to 800 years old. it's now if you take a step forward and look down over the parapet you see those stones. they may not look that special but they're from roman times 2000 years ago. and if we go through this arc we come to a 2nd cellar. composes of the what's interesting here is that all the sellers in the documentation center come from the former jewish quarter in reagan's org this.
2:45 am
is the ins and so what we're seeing here are traces of the jewish families in a very can support the excavations took 3 years and archaeologists even found a gold treasure the documentation center doesn't have signs or a big means on sen the structure can only be accessed on guided visits but don't let that scare you off it's really worth it. next to the historic stone bridge you'll find the voiced cool the sausage kitchen a true reagan's work classic in the 12th century the building was used as a storage room for construction equipment later it was turned into an eatery and since the beginning of the 19th century it's where reagan's burns most famous bratwurst or charcoal grills sausages are made. the.
2:46 am
next couch 6 on sauerkraut is the name of this typical dish simple bud really good. just right if you're feeling package on your tour. on the banks of the danube which during peak season as line with cruise ships i meet with peter. he has the organization friends of reagan's birds old town it's one of the oldest citizens initiatives in germany and as the name implies is concerned with preserving their city's historical heritage their most recent coup was to prevent the construction of a convention center in the old town to hide from the rain we seek cover in a former royal villa which today houses the bavarian monument office. and most but you previously worked as a tourist guide and regensburg yourself what's your take on this tourism boom i think it's very positive experience in the humble beginnings when there were 600
2:47 am
guided tours in the year and now we have more than 6000 guided tours before it makes me happy every time i walk through the city and see people from all over the world enjoying drakensberg festooned it does do you also understand more critical voices those who say it's too much for regensburg it can do i know these voices but i don't quite understand them because as in many cities tourism here moves along specific paths just as in prague where it goes from the old town square to the charles bridge to prague castle here it's just over the stone bridge to the cathedral to the old town hall to the left and right of this it's called the i don't have to walk right through the crowd when it's busy i can also choose a side street so i can go survey and. if you're ever in regensburg and looking for a really great place to eat this is the spot our faith located in the very heart of the city it's a reagan's birth institution the former brewery was taken over by students in 1977 and turned into
2:48 am
a french style beast. what i loved about reagan's very is the fact that there is an interesting story waiting around every corner from the romans to the middle ages of the efforts of solving early european conflicts and the right stack plus the regional specialties are delicious no wonder really the very after all. our 3rd and last stop is pass out the city lines on the banks of 3 river this. this is where the danube and is reversed meet.
2:49 am
and right in the middle of it all is a beautiful old town. the rivers are both a blessing and a curse they've made past all prone to floods but for centuries the waterways were important trading routes the wealth brought to the city is reflected in its architecture. for example the 1st obama was it's almost 800 years old and one of the largest surviving mediæval fortress complexes in europe. from the top there is a great view over the city of 3 rivers i've always wanted to visit possible because of its special location and of course when i'm here i'll do a hike in the bavarian forest a popular destination not too far from possible. possible is not only been shaped by its 3 rivers the city's former rulers also left their mark with their magnificent churches and castles their story is told in the 1st over hours museum

2:52 am
the town hall is also designed in italian baroque style but the block definitely sounds very and. on the tele there are markers showing flood levels over the past centuries it's hard to imagine. now and meeting in vision from the ongoing are just association he'll be giving me a tour of a narrow street parallel to the danube it's where many. artists have their studios . heard us is very popular with visitors specially in the summer.
2:53 am
