always for severe off the beach. the check in the next on d w. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list, the magic corner check hot spot for food and some great culture. laborious to boot the w travels off. we go ah, ah, ah, me, i'm in darmstadt in the german state of hester, were about 30 kilometers south of frankfort. dumpster is not really

a classic tourist destination in germany, but there is plenty to see around here, like this building designed by the austrian architect. grievance, right, that vasa or the state theater, at the time of its inaugural ration in 1972. it was the most expensive theater built in postwar germany. but really, i'm here for this the damn sad artist colony. it was founded at the end of the 19th century in the neighborhood called my children. the basic idea was to unite art and everyday life now over a 100 years after it was built, it has a pretty good shot of becoming a world heritage site. ah, we'll also check out laura sh, abby, which is already oh world heritage site. then we'll take a trip back in time all the way to the middle ages.

and ever heard of floors bathing? i'll give it a try. ah. oh, oh. my student who is dom just premier site and the place where local like to get together. there's a pretty odd mix of styles here at the wedding tower, and you can seal, then comes a russian chapel and in between a large exhibition building been renovated at the moment the russian church was not actually part of the artist colony, even though it was billed at roughly the same time as the surrounding buildings the complex includes a number of imposing houses. it was home to the artist colony until the start of the 1st world war. i meet with philip good ports,

the director of the my children who are institute. i'm fair to say you have the nicest office in the city. which idea take started the artist colony construct with me. yes. gotcha. and what i was a grand duke who succeeded to the title at age 23. and he had this modern vision of supporting the art was stimulating the economy. and what he hoped to attract artist to dom start would come up with new product designs for the regions manufacturers that would make his economy flourish of the config dunker guts. and were there any personalities that turned out to be especially influential in the colony? a colony? yes, got guns, but there were 2 especially prominence names. one was yoseph maria abra, viennese architect who built most of the buildings in the tilton, who was one of the most important architects here, was paid to barons who was originally a painter and ended up being one of the foremost architects of the 20th century. i

should just think to bow host directors were his students and i found the role involved group this and la, caboose year was under the pupil of peter, baroness, obviously of us. you know, he was self taught and built his 1st house here. he was pretty known to the public of in so we're hoping for world heritage application to successfully to make this history more well known. these are going to be contacted by another special aspect was that my children here was open to the public, wasn't it comes on this list because in exactly everything you see here was part of 4 major construction exhibition and they were open to everyone. that's very important, and as one people could walk into the architects houses, they could see which caused aubrey drunk from its own, which curtains and musical instruments he had for her. if it was a compliment to either either each object was created for each house and could be purchased from here, the state was that was very modern for the time in the also this idea of combining support for the economy with support for the onset of photo with could to work, so i meant to be sold, the companies were meant to receive orders, films,

everything could be viewed at the exhibitions and then also given the former workshop designed by all is today a museum. the exhibition shows everyday object fashioned by the artist in residence because that's one here for chairs designed by members of the dom start artist colony. you want, we want to show that they were working together here in one place. bit of answers here. so here you see one by pet barrons, a chair from his dining room and we see curved lines, but it's overall very simple and functional. and this white frame has a certain touch of practicality that they find really fascinating, that the site can spun in this to decide as you see a piece by petri scuba, a very young designer who worked here the other to tut. 19 or 20. when he came here, often water designed these teachers. this time i went for outside field and that was a restaurant chair. the last you can tell that the back,

the end of easy to push back and forth between and having an early example of form follows function. i just, you know, it wasn't just a matter of artists to trying things out here. and then the pieces were meant to be functional and inexpensive to produce long time, which helps the companies bring in lots of orders and films a few in offering for the wonderful double doors from pe to barons have health and people there you see the same ornamentation that shows up this furniture. the often in vested onto the nist reminds me of the metropolis true wisdom, architects and artists designed all kinds of objects. even gadgets, cutlery. they build the basis for the interdisciplinary approach that would make the bow house world famous. and here we have pizza barons very time dining room

because in what even everything was designed by peter barons and then manufactured by various companies in factories. but it could all be purchased as a complete work of art because i'm concerned this is also how it was displayed in berlin. very time, department store in 1900 or 2, which is quite remarkable. and modern it is not for the me with the. i'm not leaving without climbing off the wedding tower. and the entry way is already stunning. his if you include from here we see the kiss by feet it for him clicking was designed especially for the for a of the wedding tower. the tower was a gift from the city of dom start to the ground juke. and lou this to wing to beings are come from an abraham bay. richard wagner, on the land for smith. it was published as a book here,

matilda who has been produced in a spectacular way on that one. and we're now at the top of the wedding tower and i'm still not entirely sure why it's called that because he's at this time, it was a prison from dumpster under the ground to get to take something literally married for the 2nd time in 1905 and the city thought about what they could give it to the grand juke. with the 1st idea was the precious, just for jewels lunatic found out, told them he would love to have an observation tower. ultimate children who then designed this tower. and for the 1st time and the history of architecture was a role window was running around the corner of it as the tower offers an amazing view of dom starts into the north. you can even see the frankfurt skyline,

and it keeps living up to its name. doesn't that your wedding take place here, which fits nicely with the towers name when people come from all over the world and then there's a wedding every half hour. so married couples are turned out as if it's an assembly line to expand the monitoring the 1st owners legacy. so we'll find out whether the colony will get the prestigious title or not should it be in the world heritage. it will become one of several illustrious architectural sites here in germany award at that distinction. each one of them very unique and groundbreaking in their own way. ah, lou, germany both the tentative 46 unesco world heritage sites. many on the architecture of the 20th century. among the most famous of the bow school buildings

by architect welter group use in the south. they were built from 1925 to 926. and unesco listed them as well. heritage site in 1996, along with many other buildings from the bow house. sarah. the movement started at the bow school environment. it found about 2 copious taught there as well. me the signature bout how style influenced many areas of art today. many furniture pieces from the period are considered icons with modern design. unesco also added berlin, so called horseshoe estate from the 1922,

it's weld heritage list in 2008. design, bipolar count among others. it's today seen as a milestone in modern urban housing. this is one of the houses swift french architect cobra's year, designed for stuttgart, vice and office state. it was built in 1927 and added to you next goes well, heritage list in 2016 or the 20th century architecture. as we know it would have been unthinkable without matilda. here it was a 1st step into modernity that includes the village of matilda hero, which were completed in $19.00 oh $1.00. the. the doctor's house is one of many buildings here designed by architect. that's always. it's also where a team is working on the been to make my children who are dom start

a unit school world heritage site. it's a goal, almost 10 years in the making. the art historian look at who can have the team where would you put the art in colony in germany's cultural history? sister, i know visually i had the architectural term. so this was the cornerstone of the development of modernism. i wanted to become them what you might call it a gateway when this and taught us to gateway opened in the early 20th century here . and matilda who has indulged at what for all the constitutes modernism in the progressive sense inside. and that's vital to now doesn't shut the phone. the bell house, for example, wouldn't have been conceivable. and this form going to do without matilda who forms or in this post about darmstadt, may or to convince to city can win the title. wow. why deserve to become

a world heritage city? the but to whom? happy matilda who artists the universal design for for them to be is they didn't just create buildings on that. he has garden art, exhibition art and interior design. we're all we designed to pass off and on the spirit of the place it radiates far beyond darmstadt by the answer to them. that's why it's become a world heritage site. and in the not far from darmstadt, we find a property that has already gained unesco world heritage status. laura sh. abby built around the year 800. it was one of the biggest monastery in the kingdom of the franks. the close a lot lower. shabby is the world heritage site. i know you might be biased,

but one makes this place. so special complexity doesn't be talking on people. this is what's called the gatehouse kings ho by the you see, we don't even know what function was building had, but a field carolinian era structure in europe preserved so completely. and it's a very special structure on because it displays a cultural facade fallback. and that's unusual for me to say, normally you find the declaration inside the building different. for example, in churches they are painted with frescoes. that's especially impressive as was what some of the books yet here it's the facade that's klinefelter style. it and roman masonry technique was used here as well. so we see continuity between the ancient world and the carol engine era that makes this building especially precious and art history. and especially attractive to our visitors. because it simply will

not reveal its function by to this place. to have a towel king's home, the name is a bit controversial and you yourself can't give it a definitive name. how come the tipton ho? because they didn't want to miss that. we can't spend down a name calling because the function isn't clear. we also have to consider the possibility that in the current engine era, a building like this may have served more than one purpose. like it might have been a conference room or a courtroom subtleties from the other to help the king down from his subtle when he visited the abbey, him. when the place where ceremonial greetings were staged, couldn't schools schools that could last was a royal or imperial abby. so there are many different possibilities to consider. the, the core, the decor inside doesn't offer any clues, either the frescoes or so neutral that you can't to juice any particular function from them. why? but a gate house isn't right?

and because this wasn't the obvious case in kings hall is problematic because it suggests the king used it in a way we've never heard of, of this kind of or is this a list of course that makes it hard to explain why this is a world heritage site company, we no longer have a monastic town and tucked here, so it's the schools the monastery disappeared in the 17th century. and now the idea is to show where the building one stood without reconstructing them on which one could do with stones or, or something. but no one could do them, at least the idea is this. they think of a velvet cushion and jewelry display case, there's a tiara, and at some point the t r is sold. so it disappears with him. so all you have left is a circular imprint. this cushion up broken isn't. so you don't know exactly what the t r a looks like or what it was made of you're talking about it is missing from the

fish also. and it's like, why is we don't know how tall these buildings where it's, if we don't know if they were grand, or if they had lots of windows that were built. but we have the imprint on the ground. and this is the end. you can see the layout of this complex is like the velvet cushion. there's an impression like a footprint in the sand was up to confirm. the also part of the world heritage site is loudest. the reconstruction of a carolyn gee and manner. well, this makes me want to go to the left abilene direct. so i went to go to right. i literally met filings that must be in there in counter intuitive. ok. why not? let me, let's give it a go plowing like 1200 years ago. why didn't adventure david the

bong through. i have to put the slow season that they are quite quick because healthy were the fields back then. so i feel like this could be about a kilometer long as i'm slow, slow down, banging them. so this isn't that you're a bit better at this than i am. i have to admit, i'm the loudest hum is assigned for investigating agricultural techniques and the life of the carolyn james. scientists work here, but are happy to show visitors around kinds. this is an open air lab, not a museum. what's it about? the complete complicated title would be experimental archaeological open air laboratory. there is, i'm carol engine manner. a lot of i'm putting a thank goodness people just say, let's say we want to show what

a man looks like 1200 years ago. there's a whole fault because they want to show we're not museums. and that's when research night and fashion arts. and i want to explore everything from the daily customers in the sense of old craft to the finer lifestyle of the upper class of the time. and that was for me on the open air lab loudness have opened in 2014 years on the scientists here, mostly work with universities and museums and you have a historical model based on what i think challenge for these medieval houses. it's not often we can only reconstruct the parts where pillars one stood, the floors and everything else are not there anymore. you have to imagine a lot of stuff now and then this one might be preserved. but sometimes there isn't archaeological evidence. bunch of things we have to ask ourselves again and again.

how would i saw this 12 interviews about the her stuff? well, here's one possibility for such a chair, looks incredibly modern. it's reconstructed according to early, many findings. me. this is amazing. me me another place to check out not far from downstairs is the backs class. the park truly remarkable. an avalanche of rocks that stretches half a kilometer of the mountain

peak tackler thought to climb. one could think it was put here by humans. but you know about the real origin, don't you? my current one could think that you have to, oh, in fact the local population imagined, the giant laid it all down instead of here. but of course, the real story is more exciting than this formed about 340000000 years ago. for deep down in the earth, about 10 kilometers. and in the course of the earth history, it made its way up. and today we're sitting on top, those rock quarter system, but he also using the sign and then in is a part, it's not a nature reserve. i'm not a national park. what exactly is the part, could you break it down for me course and i can still parks the show speaking. do you park steel primarily with earth systems? and how does our planet work trans? i'm so so how does it influence our landscape? how can we make use of it for regional planning?

the space, the phone, but you could say we've merged the best of both worlds into a nature park by combining the g park topics with the nature park topics. so environmental protection is seen in the context of our geological legacy to some media. that's something very special. when does it show mr. saunders present time? you're also part of the worldwide unesco network. is that only perks or does it come with commitments? well finished or less the door to does. these is pretty card gets by should be in the title is awarded permanently, you know, it has to be renewed every 4 years. so that when this school unesco looks at the progress we've made and that means we can't keep doing the same old same old highest. and so we have to keep developing and be creative side. i'll stay in the forest a little longer because i'm in for a very special experience in

the food to unite and breathe deeply right down to your free as in like close your eyes. if you can, because once your sense of sight is blocked out, your senses of hearing, smell, and touch, are far more open. on the test team, you often know sheila legs and our belly and our back and our head. what claudia actual, these is a volunteer park ranger. she introduces me to something called forest bathing, a tradition that started in japan. the idea is to consciously seek relaxation in nature by taking in my surroundings with all my senses. all right,

i'll take you that you have time to get to know your tree. so i knew she gives me different tasks. one of them feeling a tree with my eyes close and then finding it again cloud mccain. i figured it out that some i was going to work. mm hm. okay. yeah. we definitely started that way. really good. it had been happy. i remember feeling we ran it is mon.

so i'll just say that one me. ah, that comes a more relaxing assignment. ok. simply let your so float. like i said, ok. all right. she

doesn't time just fly when you're having fun. that's our show already. i think my trip here really proved once again that it's always worth it to veer off the beaten path. and i really hope you enjoyed it as much as i did take care and see you next time. ah ah ah ah ah, ah, the the lose the use

the the the, the the the me were hated. future hope or mortal danger? yes please. no, thank the at the end of the radiance and dark story of nuclear energy
