transport the water up into the towers from there the fountains in the city were supplied with fresh water. today only the structures and the plants remain. but at the. last on the lake river you get an idea of how the people of use their wealth of water later in the 19th century. to prevent recurring epidemics such as cholera a new water works was built in 878 this allowed the households to be supplied with clean drinking water directly via pipes at the time this state of the art technology caused a sensation through our juror. will. remember his it was short but if you look. but how ornate these the floor is so chic it doesn't look at dust real

. but i think it was made to please the audience as you can see from the wrong time doors or the tourettes of floor made of fine italian marble 140 years old everyone has destroyed a factory. the waterworks here close down in 2007 but the technology still works. and will stay by the water because now we take a trip to the black sea as you know every now and then we visit viewers for all over the world who show us the most beautiful places of their hometown and this time it's off to but to me in georgia. comment about irony no welcoming but to me let me show you some of my favorite highlights of the black sea coast resort the seating full of colors and adventures .

but to me it's mixture of the sea and the mountings protective gear we as and historical monuments all part of the new and more than one where the. x. y. . letter presents hue my favorite part of the city but to me boulevard it dates back to 881 and it's 8 kilometers long it placed directly to the black sea coast come on let's see. when i have some free time i love to walk in the wall of where the lay on the beach and listen to the sound waves and what's the most fascinating thing to me in the whole world. the best thing about the bridge is that it's not going to have.

right here in the boulevard there is the famous meeting point for the elder generation know the city they can be here with a play chairs spagetti on their domino and anyone can join them let's play with that. money. they're coming here every day they try to buy their currency shows politics economy and write little. george is famous for its walls and good history of wine making and there are about 500 types of waves growing here. just imagine being a few minutes away from the to me and being so close to the nature of mining the vineyards and the forests that's an imagined.

you can't imagine how delicious and just said basic rates are and now the fun part wine tasting counter attack on the obama girls over the missing jet. it's delicious one. can do. this to talk wealthy as i practice. but then you have to tell. this is churchill up the most famous churches so he made a different use and roads there about trying to type so that the sound made a walnut and hazelnuts with a grape juice they said there is so weak and delicious you should try this. now i would like to take you by the catholic part of

a lot of wind and if they feel that they feel probably. from this place we have the best view of the city but i have to say good bye now it's been a nice day and i loved being with you know how to beat him but to me. you can see the wealth of folks book as well as the water in many places in the city. this is the shit sloppily the front is rather narrow it's only 1000 meters but the building is over 100 meters long it is the former city palace of an oak spoke banker built at the end of the 18th century the last owner gave the palace to the

city of book on the condition that it never be sold and only be used for cultural purposes the head of the alcs book state you cm's list of people she tells me that the building has never been destroyed that's the showpiece of the ones i went up off the side of yes that wonderful ball room with this fantastic ceiling for us. this is organized so everything is original that 95 percent of the surface dates back to 1770 or so this is a this is a magnificent room. it's the biggest remaining private ballroom in germany out in the piece of history. but there is no comparable room in terms of size and originality and so can i detail and some of the gold in the golden hall is real gold is that the case here to. argue that the surfaces here are all original. here you can see the golden surfaces with gold leaf in their

original state from 770. the mirrors to our original work with the mercury silvering retained here you know here this. is primarily a museum city. it presents masterpieces from past centuries. the collection includes paintings from the late middle ages and the early renaissance. and of course there's also a portrait of one of the most important book residence ever. made by come to the ships up early and i have not seen this painting did i miss something just a yes indeed and this painting is probably the most important in our collection this is an icon of our explore glocal history. of the rich the bill gates of the

16th century but there's plenty of swabian understatement here at my house that understatement doesn't cash work well you can see that there's no jewelry there are no visible hand civically that i always see as his dark cabin door code and the further he's wearing as well as the very valuable brigade hat that point to his wealth. this reserve was very typical for a swabian merchants. so. what's the story here is the man go to the painter and say paint me or did the painter come to him. he. came to an imperial council here and asked him to paint him. because of course any one last would have been unthinkable if. you do or it was already very famous the quality of the painting is obvious. he's depicted very clearly in

a very individual way you know if you look very carefully you can see these very finely painted wrinkles these show how talented someone like outraged. as i passed through and now let's switch from arts to theater or rather puppet theater because that's what the. is known for it has shaped many generations and i don't remember it from my childhood because you just can't forget fantastic stories like jim but in. a fantasy world featuring jim button and luke the engine driver with kings to sell ice cream with giants characters and have to reagan's a world full of little celebrities made of wood broadcast on television in 1953. ok quite down. the poor little cut will get scared if you keep asking so many questions you can't even talk it's so when can it's 10 strings would material

some glue all that's needed to make a pop it. play a lot with the head strings at the front using our middle and index fingers we have to have flexible wrists so that we don't have to change our grip each time the proper turns i don't know if these are special property here and. close my show is the 3rd generation of puppets here is to run the theatre he explains that his story has to be told slowly so the audience can picture the characters in their mind and bring the puppets to life. 'd 'd 'd 'd 'd after the 2nd world war his grandfather valter applied to the work municipal authorities for permission to run a puppet theatre it opened in a former hospital in 1948. busy busy there were 5 to 7 puppets here standing above the puppets and the speakers below in

the pit busy it was tight the whole family was involved. daughter had a lot i made her 1st puppets at the age of 13 and his wife also made the costumes. the theatre also went on tour with puppet shows for adults a puppet just like a fool can speak uncomfortable truths the company performed better told christ's revolutionary 3 penny opera. not and then you know who had played pirate jenny at the berlin premiere in the late 1920 s. apparently wrote to the outspoken theater and asked for her own puppet. each mary that is still made by hand but it is only when there strings are pulled that they come to life. and through. then its head goes down and the hunt goes in front of its face so it cries

a little and then of its laughing its head goes up just like people with a laugh or. 5 in village quarter of. the playwright i thought graced was born here in 898 in a typical artisan house for a long time the city had a rather complicated relationship with. it's most famous son who chose to live in east germany when he returned from exile at the end of the 2nd world war. the house he was born in has been the museum since 1905. he a connoisseur yes we have some original pieces this is the baptism in confirmation silverware received by a baritone precious and this is its original list and yes it's original tunes
