a tour of germany's unesco world heritage sites from the air 46 cultural and natural landmarks. we start and often not just because it's 1st alphabetically often cathedral became germany's very 1st unesco world heritage site in 1978. from there our journey proceeds chronologically in today's episode up to the year 2000. but why exactly does unesco award this title. the overall purpose is to protect cultural and natural sites about standing values to humankind . cathedral in north rhine-westphalia has a long history. the oldest parts date back to the 8th century. charlemagne king of the franks and emperor of much of western europe had the

palatino chapel built as the church of his royal residence in. his remains are said to rest in the shrine. cathedral took on its current appearance over many centuries. as was under his nativity exceptional thing here of course is that over 30 kings were crowned and all come because peter old during the middle ages recorded forms and up in the high altar we have the imperial throne eating it was most probably set up by charlemagne himself and. to top it. about $1000000.00 visitors from the world over a pass through the cathedral every year 'd. 'd there's only to me personally it's so fantastic to see something that's so oh not so susie and eyes were designed i'd say everyone who comes to office and no matter what their faith should take in the

cathedral. are drawn flies southeast to the medieval imperial cathedral basilica inch by the world's largest romanesque church. it took about 30 years to build the cathedral around 1000 years ago. for emperors 3 empresses and a number of kings law interred here. a leap to the east takes us to the books book residence a world cultural heritage site in conjunction with the court gardens. it was a center of power for the prince bishops. these were bishops who ruled as princes and they had the residence built as a symbol of their wealth and influence. it's essentially

a palace in all its splendor. the current residence took shape in the 18th century designed by architect both azhar norman as a fusion of french polish architecture viennese baroque and italian construction style. in 1903 the pilgrimage church of v's in the foothills of the alps was graced with a world heritage title. the sumptuous rococo church stands in an ideal a countryside where a miracle was reported in 738. peasant woman maria lawrie claimed to have seen a wooden statue of christ crying real tears. in 1904. and the fog in most palaces and pool near cologne were added to the unesco world heritage list. palace is a former summer residence of colognes archbishop elector clements how boost. the 2

flamboyant structures were cited as germany's 1st truly significant creations in the rococo style. they served as examples for many a german princely court for over a half a century. only a short walk from a ghost as burg palace beyond a small isolated would is the folk in los hunting lodge. the name and location relate directly to its purpose it stands right under a migratory route taken by herons and falcons were once used to hunt them. our next stop is his home cathedral. one of germany's oldest of his coble churches its construction began in the year 872. it's also famous for its 1000 euros the rows of hilda's haim is believed to be the oldest living rose in the world.

also over 1000 years old is the nearby st michael's church a part of the hill this time world cultural heritage site and an example of early romanesque architecture. the bulky castle like impression is intentional. in christian symbolism the fortress stands for god as a safe refuge. the world heritage sites in tokyo. are even older still. in 1986 unesco listed several of the roman era ruins here. was founded as. them in the year 7000 b.c.e. by the 2nd century c.e. it had developed into a center of trade. in the latter years of the roman empire was among its biggest cities and t.f. put much of its wealth into its buildings the most famous is the port.

when the romans laid the foundation for the gate in the year 170 they could hardly have imagined it would be for the ages. at the time it was one of 4 city gates and 3 year now some 1850 years later the port is the best preserved roman city gate north of the alps and a well known to rest site. in the roman era the gate was nowhere near as black as it is today botany cremains black gate box the romans themselves saw the gate very differently much lighter we know that the stone was rather whitish and what's missing other city walls left and right of it. you have to imagine knows but what's not hard to make out the right hand tower is missing its top floor but otherwise the porter gives

a very good impression of how it used to look. at. the structures from the time of constantine the great the basilica of constantine the amphitheater and the t.f. imperial baths bear witness to a vast imperial might and the western roman empires aspirations to rule the world it knew during late antiquity. just as impressive are 2 more world heritage sites in t.f. the cathedral and right next to it. the church of our lady. the cathedral of st peter is germany's oldest surviving house of worship. all through its 7800 year history it served as an episcopal church. from the oldest roman brickwork dating from the 4th century all the stages of europe's architectural religious and art history can be traced through to the present.

unesco also includes hand sciatic city's on its world heritage i 10 or. old town was added in 1987. in the 14th century lubeck reigned as the queen of the hands adequately a commercial and defense confederation that at its peak brought together some 200 cities. to this day magnificent buildings testified to this bright chapter in the history of trade an early version of globalization. old town is dominated by red brick facades immediately recognizable is the host and gate the brick gothic structure is a remnant of the city's fortifications now it's a symbol of lubec. our drone flies back and land and over the palaces and parks of potsdam and berlin.

through the centuries leading architects and landscape artists have emigrated the palaces and parks to impressive effect. the combination of building and garden design comes together as a family a synthesis of the arts. the beginnings date back to 1745 when frederick the great had some susi palace built to serve as his summer residence. this maze owned a place also in the rico style was his favorite spot. today even if relatively small its potsdam is best known palace. the art loving king spent his summer months

here philosophising with voltaire and playing music with karl felipe emmanuel bach this is where he could forget his problems the sounds of sea or without a care as he called the palace in french. the palace has only 12 rooms in total but there elaborately decorated with plaster reliefs gold and marble. frederick the great spend his winters in the potsdam city palace and his summers here. he called sons to see his little than your house. any 18th century this was relatively modest and it really impressed people that this great war hero lived so modestly and what impressed people above all was that he had no cause the place was always accessible to the public to a certain extent you could just look in through the windows and always enter the

garden was in comparison to other courts that was very unusual for the 18th century . only a short stroll from san susie looms the mighty granger of the noir. this massive palace with its magnificent banquet halls galleries and royal apartments served primarily to receive guests. the noise pile. it is the last palace frederick the great had a built in his park. but

sounds to see park was not yet complete the iran jury palace was commissioned by frederick william the 4th in the mid 19th century. he's been called the romantic on the throne of which the palace is the best evidence along with the spacious plans hall it also has room for sculpture and picture galleries fountains arcades and terraces the entire complex has a mediterranean flair reflecting the king's love for italy the palace measures over 300 meters long even so these 3 mansions are only a small part of the palaces and parks of potsdam and berlin world heritage site there's much more to see here. between volumes and dom shot stands lorsch a prominent center of power in the middle ages.

today only 3 structures from the original benedictine abbey survived. a section of the monastery wall the former abbey church. and the 9th century. the entrance hall. its original purpose has never been determined. it's one of the few carolingian era buildings to survive more or less intact. a leap north takes us to the old town of ghosla and though. back. in the middle ages was a royal seat where holy roman emperors held a material since about 2 thirds of the old town's buildings are protected. the decoration indicates the status and wealth of their one time owners. today a good $1500.00 half timbered houses are crowded together on one square kilometer of the medieval city center.

the town owes its rise and prosperity to iron and silver deposits discovered at the back mountain about 2 kilometers from ghosla. the mine was worked until 988. now we fly south to bombay in northern bavaria. its old town with over 2400 protected buildings was declared a world heritage site in 1993. bombay it was built on 7 hills earning at the nickname franconian roam. these hills are topped with churches the most prominent of which is the bomb bad cathedral of st peter and same gave.

it stables the famous bombay horseman from the 13th century the 1st life size equestrian statue to appear in germany after roman times. while the clergy resided on the hilltops the citizenry built their own hub of worldly power down in the valley. and. him and me and once they cross the river that way in the area called the citizens island district the town hall was always meant to link the 2 halves of the city so they got the idea to actually build it in the middle of the river so while . giving an added boast to the choice of bob back as a world heritage site was its urban gardening. it's been practiced

since the 17th century and is unique in germany in this particular form. now our journey takes us to the cistercian malabon monastery northwest of stuttgart . founded in $1147.00 it's thought to be one of the best preserved medieval monastic complexes north of the alps. visitors here can get a firsthand impression of the monks life and work. in the hocks mountains in 1904 it's collegiate church castle hill and old town were named world heritage sites. the hill offers a panoramic view of lindbergh's a sea of red houses. it was hardly short of a miracle that the city came through every war almost undamaged.

over $1300.00 of its original half tempered houses are still standing. this is the place to see what a wide variety of half timbering has been created. from small and plain to rich ornate and colorful. unesco has not excluded modern industrial sites. the folk living in iron works and for example was declared a world heritage site in 1904 as an outstanding monument to the industrial revolution. at one time it was germany's largest iron works it was closed down in 1906 and converted to serve as

a venue for events large and small. today exit patients concerts and parties are held here a path leads visitors through the complex already partly reclaimed by nature. in 1996 the messel pit fossil site was added to the list. a 1st glance reveals nothing spectacular. but this former open pit oil shale mine holds a buried treasure tens of thousands of plant insect and vertebrate fossils. around 3000 more are uncovered annually. tours are available of the outside area. and a visitor center exhibits some of the finds.

cologne cathedral is probably germany's most famous church its massive bowl pointed gothic arches and towering steeples dominate the city's skyline. construction began in 1248 but the cathedral wasn't truly completed until 1880. if it were possible to weigh it the scale would tip close. 120000. in the. revolution. and practice. here in 1900. of the. school of arts

the journey now takes us south to classical. a world cultural heritage site since 1998. in the 18th and 19th centuries weimar blossomed into an oasis of germany's intellectual life drawing such poets and scholars as gupta and schiller. now many of the buildings and parks here recall weimar's golden age. and in 1999 the world's cultural heritage title arrived for by lens museum island the world's largest museum ensemble with 5 world class exhibition buildings the odds are not so nagai the pergamon museum the boulder museum and the noise and the

artist museum. these museums safeguard treasures from 6000 years of human history in particular art of the 19th century and archaeological collections. no castle has played so pivotal role in german history as the near eyes enough. its cultural and historical significance one that the world cultural heritage title the same year as did the museum island. in the 12th century the voc berg was famed far and wide for the court's patronage of the fine arts poets and the minstrels contest it resonated with the echoes of. vida's songs and both come from box verses st elizabeth of hungary lived here and the outlawed reformer martin luther found refuge in the. in what's now called the loop the room he translated
