oh, yes, it is pulling all of our no show that it was in boston. i. i use me. i'm in darmstadt in the german state of hester were about 30 kilometers south of frankfort. some stuff 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 shown 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 downstairs artist colony. it was founded at the end of the 19th century in a neighborhood called my children who 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 lores abbey, which is already a 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 premier site and the place where local like to get together. there's a pretty odd mix of styles here, the wedding tower, and you can steal, 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 port, the director of the matilda, her institute. i'm fair to say you have the nicest office in the city.

which idea take started the artist colony and stuck 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 of what he hoped to attract artist to dom start. it would come up with new product designs and the regions manufacturers that would make has his economy flourish of the config dunker got there. were there any personalities that turned out to be especially influential and the artists colony colony? yes. got guns, but there were 2 especially prominent names. one was yoseph, maria abra, viennese architect who built most of the buildings in the tilton who. okay. there was one of the most important architects here that was paid to barons who was originally a painter and ended up being one of the foremost architects of the 20th century. i should think to bow house directors were his students and i found the rose vault group this la copays year was under the pupils of peter, baroness, obviously of us. you know,

he was self taught and build his 1st house here 2 years and he was pretty known to the public. so we're hoping for world heritage application to successfully to make this history more well known that she can be contacted by another special aspect was that my children here was open to the public. wasn't it? come, can i listen his 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 wonderful could walk into the architects as they can see, which comes albrecht drunk from and so which curtains and musical instruments he had heard of it with a compliment to you this i'm each object was created for each house and could be purchased here this often here, the state one that was very modern for the time in the also this idea of combining support for the economy with support for the onset starting with could to excellent to be sold, the companies were meant to receive orders filmed, and everything could be viewed at the exhibitions, and then also giving them. the former workshop designed by all, is today

a museum. the exhibition shows everyday objects fashioned by the artist in residence. i'm gonna put that on here for chairs designed by members of the dom, start artist colony. you want, we wanted to show that they were working together here in one place, bit of anthem. so here you see one bypass baron's, 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 i find really fascinating type. you can spun from the to the side as you see a piece by petri scuba, a very young designer who worked here the other to touch the 19 or 20 when he came here from water designed these teachers. this time i went for outside field and that was a restaurant chair has the last you can tell, but the back the end of easy to push back and forth and help moving. 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 the pieces were meant to be functional and inexpensive. it's produced, which helps the companies bring in lots of orders and films a few in offering for the wonderful doors from pe to barons. house in house and peter buildings. there you see the same ornamentation that shows that the miss arms are often in invested until venus reminds me of the film. metropolis true wisdom, architects and artists designed all kinds of objects. even gadgets, cutlery. they filled the basis for the interdisciplinary approach that would make the bow house world famous here, taking this a bit. and here we have pizza, barons very time dining room, his invoice. everything was designed by peter barons and then manufactured by various companies in factories and hunger. that 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 1902, which is quite remarkable. and modern, it ends up being with the i'm not leaving without climbing off the wedding tower. and the entry way is already stunning. included from here we see the kiss by feet extend. clicking designed especially for the, for a of the wedding tower of the tower, was a gift from the city of dom start to the ground juke and salute to wing. the beings are come from an abraham bay. richard wagner, on the land for smith. it was published as a book here, matilda who had been produced in a spectacular way on the vessel and were

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 to, from jumpstart, under the ground, to get to take a look at something big. married for the 2nd time in 1900. 05. and the cities thought about what they could give it to the grand juke. the 1st idea was the precious, just for jewels lunatic found out, told them he would love to have an observation tower ultimately, and then designed this tower. and for the 1st time and the history of architecture, there was a role window around the corner. the tower offers an amazing view of dom starts and to the north. you can even see the frankfurt skylight. and it keeps living up to its name, doesn't that that date 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 during the 1st owners legacy federal find out whether the colony will get the prestigious title or not should it be 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. germany, both the total of $46.00 unesco world heritage sites. many on the architecture of the 20th century. among the most famous of the bow school buildings by architect valid to go use index out. they were built from 1925 to 1926. 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's found to about to cope use 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 designs. o 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 swiss french architect

cobra's year. designed for stood guards, vice, and office state. it was built in 1927 and added to you next goes. well, heritage missed in 2016 for the 20th century architecture. as we know it would have been unthinkable without matilda. here it was the 1st step into modernity that includes the villas of matilda hero, which were completed in 19 o one. the doctor's house is one of many buildings here designed by architect. it's also where a team is working on the bid to make my children who adopt a unit school world heritage site. it's a goal, almost 10 years in the making art historian look at who can,

has the team where would you put the art in colony in germany's cultural history, sister, i know visual as i hit the architectural terms, it was the cornerstone of the development of modernism, i wanted to pick on them what you might call it a gateway and toward a story gateway opened in the early 20th century here. and matilda, however indulged at what for all the constitutes modernism in the progressive sense inside it. and that's vital to know doesn't shut the phone. the po house, for example, wouldn't have been conceivable in this form without matilda form or in this post about darmstadt, may or 2 is convinced to city can win the title. wow. why deserve to become a world heritage city? had a matilda who artists are the universal design for, for them to be is and they didn't create buildings. so not his guardian art,

exhibition art and interior design, where all we designed to dance more often. the spirit of police radiates far beyond dom, that vibe to answer them. that's why it will become a world heritage site. and the not far from darmstadt. we find a property that has already gained unesco world heritage status large abbey built around the year 800. it was once the biggest monastery in the kingdom of the franks . a lot large abbey is the world heritage site. i know you might be biased, but one makes this place so special. didn't complex on the organ until this is

what's called the gatehouse kings. how difficult by this, as you see, we don't even know what the function was building had, but it's the only carolinian era structure in europe preserved so completely. so type, and it's a very special structure on, because it displays a cultural facade fallback. it's not unusual because normally you find the declaration inside the building. if in the for example, in churches they are painted with frescoes. that's especially impressive both of us, but some of our folks here here in the facade. klinefelter style tip 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 from 2 in this place to a house and the king's home. the name is a bit controversial and you yourself can't give it

a definitive name. how come that you didn't because they didn't come to miss classics. we can 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. it might have been a conference room or a courtroom from the other to help the king down from his subtle when he visited the abbey ceremony place where ceremonial greetings were staged schools schools last was a royal or imperial abbey. so there are many different possibilities to consider. the, the court, the decor inside doesn't offer any clues, either. the frescos are so neutral, but you can't produce any particular function from them. why that a gate house isn't right? and because this wasn't the obvious case, and the king's home is problematic, because it's suggested the king used it in a way. we've never heard of this kind of i

of course, that makes it hard to explain why this is a world heritage site committed. we no longer have a monastic town and tucked here is close to the monastery, disappeared in the 17th century. so now the idea is to show where the building stood without reconstructing them on which one could do with stones or cars or something. and in my daughter, misleading is this. think of a velvet cushion and jewelers 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, isn't. so you don't know exactly what the t r a looks like. what it was made of me cancelling. there's also like why is we don't know how tall these buildings where it's in the fit. 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 that a footprint in the sand was broken. i also part of the world heritage site is loud at the reconstruction of a carolyn gee and manor love it. if you want to go to the left abilene center, i think i went to go to the right. i literally left tiling, barian counter intuitive. okay, why not let me, let's give it a go ploughing like 1200 years ago. why didn't adventure? david? the bong have to slower with these and they are quite quick

because i think we're the fields back then. so i feel like this could be about a kilometer slow slow down than this isn't that you're a bit better at this than i am. i have to admit, i'm the loudest is assigned for investigating agricultural techniques and the life of the carolyn jeans. 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 the experimental archaeological open air laboratory. there is, i'm carol engine manner laws. 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 false because they want to show, we're not a museum, does the research site and fashion ot. and we 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, loudest time opened in 2014 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 it now and then a wall might be preserved. but sometimes there isn't archaeological evidence one shipping or you have to ask yourselves again and again, how would i saw this 12 and refuse about we had a stuff? well, here's one possibility that for some furniture

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 wooden park is truly remarkable. an avalanche of rocks that stretches half a kilometer of the mountain. just think if you get a 2nd spectacular spot to climb, one could think it was put here by humans. but you know about the real origins,

don't you? my current one could think that you have to in fact, the local population imagined a giant laid it all down instead of here. but of course, the real story is more exciting. when 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 a top those rock quarter system, but he also using cosign and then in, in the g o part, it's not a nature reserve. i'm not a national part. what exactly is the part? could you break it down for me course and i can still parks speaking. do you park still primarily with earth systems. how does our planet work? can i answer? 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 g nature per by combining the g park topics with the nature park topics. so

environmental protection is seen in the context of our geological legacy to so i'm going with them. yeah, that's something very special. when does is from us on the highest, you're also part of the worldwide unesco network. is that only perks or does it come with commitments? well this was the door to them. this is pretty car gets by should be in the title is not awarded permanently. you know, it has to be renewed every 4 years. so that when the 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 c r t sign i'll stay in the forest a little longer because i'm in for a very special experience. i'm not in the food. i can breathe deeply. right down to your free

as in like, close your eyes if you can, because once your sense of scientists blocked out your senses of hearing, smell, and touch, are far more open on the task to feel often. now we feel our legs and our belly and our back how and i had what can call claudia actually 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'm kidding

me. she gives me different tasks. one of them feeling the tree with my eyes close and then finding it again, making i figured it out to me now we definitely started that way. really good. it had been happy. i remember feeling good ranches month, so i'll say that one

me ah, comes a more relaxing assignment. ok. simply let your so flow. i get 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. mm. mm. ah, excuse me. the news. the news, the news,
