need to be in good shape in 30 minutes on d, w o o. the idea is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make seniors green, or how can we protect habitus? we can make a difference. global ideas or mental theories global 3000 on d, w, and online ah, ah, ah me, i'm in darmstadt in the german state of hazard. we're about 30 kilometers south of

frankfort stumps. that 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 damn sad artist colony. it was founded at the end of the 19th century in the neighbourhood 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 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 children who it is, don, does premier site and the place where local like to get together? there's a pretty odd mix of styles here. the wedding tower in you can feel then comes a rush and chapel and in between a large exhibition building being 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 my children here 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, that's what i was a grand duke who succeeded to the title at age 23. and he had this modern vision of supporting the arts was stimulating the economy of what he hoped to attract artist to dom start. it would come up with a new product designs for the regions manufacturers, and that would make hesse's economy flourish of the config dunker guts. and were there any personalities that turned out to be especially influential in the artist colonies, a colony against them? there were 2, especially prominent names. one was yoseph, maria aubrey vienna is architect who built most of the buildings in matilda who was one of the most important architects here. and there was pater 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 road and developed a group this 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 2 years and he was pretty known to the public future. so we're hoping for a world heritage application is successful to make this history more well known how things 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 exhibitions and they were open to everyone that's very important to the ones you could walk into the architects houses. they could see which clubs albrecht drunk from which curtains and musical instruments he had for her to vision was complimented. either i'm each object was created for each house and could be purchased here. 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 of photo with could to work. so i meant to be sold. the companies were meant to receive orders, films,

and everything could be viewed at the exhibitions and then also given the former workshop, designed by own place, 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. peter, the answers here. so here you see one by pet barrons, a chair from the dining room into c curved lines, but it's overall very simple and functional. this white frame has a certain touch of practicality that they find really fascinating. things can spun in the, to the side 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. they started to, i went outside the field and i was a restaurant church. the last you can tell,

but the back the 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 introduce, which helps the companies bring in lots of orders and film to few in offering for me. it's a wonderful double doors from pe to barons, house and health and peter balance. there you see the same ornamentation that shows that this arm jer the often and invested on to the in this reminds me of the film metropolis true system. 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 to his

invoice. everything was designed by peter barons and then manufactured by various companies and factories 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 1900 or 2, which is quite remarkable. and modern, it is not to be more than the i'm not leaving without climbing off the wedding tower. and the entry way is already stunning. his input from here we see the kiss by free to kill him. clicking was designed especially for the for a of the wedding tower. the towel is a gift from the city of dumpster to the ground, duke and salute this to wing. the beings come from an abraham bay, richard wagner, leland smith, it was published as a book here, matilda, who had been produced in

a spectacular owner that 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 tom stud, underground, jude, who took something big married for the 2nd time in 19 o. 5 and the cities thought about what they could give the grand duke. the 1st idea was the precious jess for jewels such lunatic found out. i told him he would love to have an observation tower. ultimately, to then resigned this tower. and for the 1st time and the history of architecture, there was a row window around the corner of the tower offers an amazing view of dom shots and to 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 there's a wedding every half hour. so married couples are turned out as if it's an assembly line to the monitoring the 1st owners legacy. so we'll 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. ah, lou, germany both the tentative 46 unesco. well heritage sites. many on the architecture of the 20th century. among the most famous other bow school buildings

by architect delta globe use index out. they were built from 1925 to 1926. and unesco listed them as well. heritage sites in 1996, along with many other buildings from the bow house. sarah, the, the movement started at the bow school environment. it found about to cope use taught there as well. the me, the signature bout how style influenced many areas of art today. many furniture pieces from the period are considered icons with modern design. o unesco, also added berlin, so called horseshoe estate from the 1922. it's world heritage list in 2008 designed

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 fish took god's vice and office state it was built in 1927 and added to you next goes. well, heritage list in 2016 the 20th century architecture. as we know it would have been unthinkable without matilda. here it was the 1st step and modernity that includes the villas of matilda, which were completed in 19 o one. the doctor's house is one of many buildings here designed by architect you. always. it's also where a team is working on the bid to make my children who adopt

a unit world heritage site. it's a goal almost 10 years in the making. the art historian look at who nicholas has the teen woman, where would you put the arden colony in germany's cultural history? i know. yeah. visually hit the architectural terms. it was the cornerstone of the development of modernism, artistic one. and then when he went to college gateway when invoice and taught us to gateway opened in the early 20th century here. and matilda indulged at what for all the constitutes modernism in the progressive sense inside. and that's vital canada for the bell house, for example, wouldn't have been conceivable in this form when to do without matilda who forms or in this post about darmstadt, may or 2 is convinced to city can win the title. wow. why does deserve to become

a world heritage city? the about him whom happy matilda, who artists the universal design for, for him to be is and they didn't create buildings on that. he got an art exhibition, art and interior design, where all we designed to bounce off in the spirit of the place it radiates far beyond danced at vide to answer them. that's why it's become a world heritage site is 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 one of the biggest monastery in the kingdom of the franks. a lot lower. shabby is the world heritage site. i know you might be

biased, but one makes this place so special as complex. so it was on the on to this is what's called the gatehouse king's hall. by this, as you see, we don't even know what the function was building had. but 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. and that's 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 as both of us to some of the books. yet it's the facade and scholarship style tip. and roman masonry technique was used here. we see continuity between the ancient world and the carolinian era that makes this building especially precious an art history and especially attractive to visitors. because it simply will not reveal its function. as from to this place,

the toy gate house, kings home, the name is a bit controversial and you yourself can't give it a definitive name. how come you didn't because they didn't want to miss that. we can't spend down a name calling interest because the function isn't clear. we also have to consider the possibility that into carol engineering. a building like this may have served more than one purpose. like, 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 ceremony. a place where ceremonial greetings were staged. close i close that last was a royal or imperial abbey. so there are many different possibilities to consider. the court, the decor inside doesn't offer any clues, either. the frescoes are so neutral that you can't to choose any particular function from them. why that a gate house isn't right?

and because this wasn't the obvious case in the king's home is problematic because it suggests the king used it in a way we've never heard of this kind of or i is this release, 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 close to the monastery, disappeared in the 17th century. it's so now the idea is to show where the building stood without reconstructing the owner, which one could do with stones or, or something. and, and my daughter, misleading the idea is this. think of a velvet cushion and jewelers display case. there is a t error. and at some point the t r is sold, so it disappears with. so all you have left is a circular imprint in discussion. broken isn't isn't, so you don't know exactly what the tiara looks like. what it was made for soften.

bobby, this misconception control, so it is 91 is we don't know how tall these buildings where it's, if we don't know if they were grand, they had lots of windows that were built, but we have the imprint on the ground in this and this, and you can update the layout of this complex is like the velvet cushion. there's an impression like a footprint in the sand was up to confirm. i also part of the world heritage site is loud at the reconstruction of a carolyn gee and manor and he went to go to lead into direct. so i went to go to the right little him if he was very 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 trula have to slower with these and then they are quite quick because i think we're the fields back then. so i can feel like this could be about a kilometer long as i'm slow, slow down down. so if you're a bit better at this than i am, i have to admit the loudest time 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 that are complete, complicated title would be the experimental archaeological open air. the oratory. there is an carolinian mother, lois, i'm a thank goodness people. just say, let me see if you want to show what a man looks like 1200 years ago as

a whole. oscar they went to show we're not a museum and that's the research site and fashion arts. and we want to explore everything from the daily customs in the sense of old craft to the finer lifestyle of the upper class of the time. and that was for 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 the big 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. one should have to ask ourselves again and again. how

would i saw this 12 in refuse? we heard a stuff. well, here's one possibility for shock. 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 wooden park is truly remarkable. an avalanche of rocks that stretches half a kilometer of the mountains with the

speaker to pick tackler spot to climb. when 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 had 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 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 court system, but he also using his diamond isn't in isn't t o 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 he'll parks speaking, do you park steele primarily with earth systems? how does our planet work comes in so, so how does it influence our landscape? how can we make use of it for regional planning?

the space to phone, but you could say we've merged the best of both worlds into a g o nature perm like combining the g park topics with the nature park topics. so environmental protection is seen in the context of our geological legacy. so, so that's something very special 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 to unless the go to does, these is pretty cost 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 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
