a pretty exciting city everything seems possible here so it's just the right time for a trip into the city's past and present. we visit one of the creative hot spots of light that. we take a walk through of possible with your leaf. and we show a viewer's video with holiday greetings from japan. st nicholas church is the symbol of the peaceful revolution of the 1989. a church that has always been closer to the people than to those who were in power it dates back to the 12th century and was donated by 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 barriers played a major role in keeping the people calm the demonstrators carry their peaceful protest out of the church and into the city this pillar reminds us of that.

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 1989 open the way to freedom it also meant the loss of a home and earned the identity topics the form consciously focuses upon. me 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 visitors here and engage in conversation with the met on things with

political. will the monday demonstrations began in 1989 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 i forget that this reform church is the exact spot where the 1st 4 teach of our monday demonstration was shot . more than. the fill a material 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. or stars 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 the operated an old listening device used to eavesdrop on town hall style of a machine for opening letters. i witnesses guide people through the exhibition it's not a multimedia show or an interactive museum everything looks just like it didn't back down under the intention. of them and info on the non-coding 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 a coaster splats current showing recalls that the revolution was largely a peaceful one. in their fleetness 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 and so was a live. in memory of this a story corps some of 89 leipzig celebrates a light festival every year in october 9th and then once again augustus plots looks like it did back then. before the fall of communism lights they used to be great rundown and many houses were derelict bet's hard to imagine today one man who witnessed and accompany this transformation is i now call me by. the most. what was life like water for in 1909 especially the inner city area what

the dead 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. picked on people that had close links to leipsic for many centuries so it was painful for them to see the city center in particular to k. so badly. for a few and then my opinion this per condition of leipsic spilled ings was an important factor in triggering the 1st protests in the autumn of 1909 that eventually led to the peaceful revolution can be done you know it's one.

of those places 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 that's exactly this is part of what we call the tri fugue him which was heavily damaged during the 2nd world war. here you see the situation of the early ninety's after the war damage and 40 years of east german rule north had been stabilized to make it safe and in the 1900 stay entire complex was restored. in no other german city can you find so many fine buildings from the 19th century life that has been a trade for a location since the middle ages. ampara makes a 1000000 the 1st breath of life see the trade for a privilege in 1497. he took advantage of that and centuries later with

a brilliant idea the city became a leading trade for a location in the world. yuval an annoying mystical brand new trade show was created here the sample fair until 895 when it was 1st held trade fairs the world over took the form of trading fairs all the merchandise was brought to the fairgrounds and offered for sale with the industry revolution conditions changed sellers looked around for a new kind of fare from then on the sample fare 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 in 117 the double m. trademark was copyrighted. but in. the double every trade fair has become a trademark for like seat. in the city center treat fair buildings were constructed during the 19th century the best known and most famous is the made.

and the legislators went even further to develop the structure for the sample fares known as fare palaces starting around 1900 over 2 dozen of them popped up around central park 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 layouts like an ikea one if you would but yukio 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 as well 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. out of office so this one way layout became the model for the sample fair palaces of leipzig inner city thought about through the system as a protest and shut out 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 it and he was thrilled with the life and elegance of cosmopolitan city. tokyo lies some 9000 kilometers east of life and that's where our weekly bureau video comes from simona sent us holiday readings from japan thank you very much and here's your video.
