fascinating potential for facing the great challenges of our time. if you think about it, it's impossible for humans to survive without. will ruth say the world starts august 4th on d w. ah, ah, ah, ah. the few cities in germany are as easy to recognize as this one. this guidelines with so many high rises can only be mine has an alias, bank for it. that is frank. first it's

a classic among germany city trips, frankfort with an exciting contrast from the skyline to the old town and from the tavern culture around the cider called every voice that i'm eager to try to the night life in the station district. well, and because it's summer i'll also be on the water. ah, ah, of course we also make a detour to the city's payments are easy and the speed of our globe trotter takes us to greenland from the capital news to be in place. and this week's your video shows impressions often adventurous journey through with biggest pen ah, the high fine and high rise. this ends high rent, frank, for its center, was almost destroyed and were to clear space for new buildings. i'd like to get

a birth, i view of it all. the mine tell us has an observation deck in 30 seconds. if you sent 200 meters in good, whether it's worth see the view of the city and the region has brought other travelers up here to become from all over the world. are you from visual bands in paris? where are you from the netherlands? what's so special about the city while i call the buildings it's kind of like new york and also i'm like, i like the old part of the city now. she took too little to the architecture, the contrast of old and new nathan, it's really nice. well, it's beautiful, it's a true boy trip boy. it sounds contradictory, but it's a fact in frankfort. there is a new old town, an attempt to heal the wounds of war, destruction, and has the reconstruction. they want to restrict a part of the med,

you will city. and that new old town opened in 2018. the me gemini, financial hub has rebuilt history in harvard, old town. ah, the area was almost totally destroyed by air agent. march 1944. now it's been resurrected as a testament to frankfurt, medieval passed the architect and the plan. and you also, jo, done as reconstructed the most donate to the old buildings. the golden scale was once owned by the dutch spice merchant and confection at home, fun harmel by the goldman budget. now for the golden scale and partly for other buildings as well. and we were lucky enough to have a great number of original elements that had survived the war economy. and we

managed to persuade the owner of large parts of the golden scales facade, to donate the stones to us he had them stored in his library, built english, i knew relief fund family papers, reveal details like the existence of a gilded water spout shaped like a dragon, a total of 15 buildings have be reconstructed. 20 more are entirely new, built in met evil style. some people criticize the project at 1st, but today the new old town is a thing of beauty from asked and i am. my 1st impression is that it's beautiful, it's a static and pleasing. i can't say that about it came out very well. i don't know how much money went into it, that it would raise as a question of whether it was the right investment to make investments. you know, i think it still looks very lifeless, but the human element is still missing. somehow. i'd like to come to maybe that'll

come when the right shops move in. some shops have already opened, like this wind, the businesses with a regional connection get preferential treatment when trying to sign leases in the new town. this barber shop has been well received. and with lawyers this up to this area feels a little like a village off character. the owners all know each other, they shun. besides the shops over 200 rental apartments have been built. the new old town does indeed still seem a bit sterile. as though it's waiting for the people of frankfurt to fill it with life, john says it was well worth it to migrate us only because we have back 10 people here. remember what was seen. they can see that this was their past. you. so now they can also ask themselves about the future. mm. ah, right next to the new old town is the room,

back in the old town hall. this was also destroyed in the war and rebuilt in the 1950 s. many of frankfort buildings have had a checker history. they aren't what they were originally meant to be. saint paul's church, for instance, is no longer a church. it was the 1st structure to be rebuilt after the war visit, where the 1st pan german national assembly met after the revolutions of 1848, a 1st step on the long road to democracy in germany. was kinda what, again, a visit your learn here. yeah, this one community wouldn't the mural was only put up in 1991. it's by you. how to go. let's go and shows the procession of the deputies to saint paul church. of these gentlemen with solemn expressions, are supposed to be the deputy design of him. there were about 200 and then you have seen from daily life scattered throughout and references to history as well as if you have course. it's a big us on the one hand,

it's called the procession of the deputies to saint paul's church, but it comes across a bit like a funeral procession. and of course that alludes to the fact that the paul's church parliament failed posting parliament oversight. if it's one of the birthplaces of democracy, but a site from the painting and everything, so plain and silver, what is that is done for us? does retirement because or why? and that's because the church was entirely destroyed in world war 2 are now and all but the outside walls. they were left, but the whole interior, everything inside. finally, all that remained was this giant round room asked him after the war, they refilled saint paul's church to the centennial and 948, but in a very austere contemporary style and in fight can part in the mass. good for communism. now we're coming up from the lower darkness into the bright, open space that symbolizes the new democratic beginning in ca, t,

and democratic, nor begin the will. is it then comes from the interior was left purposely austere. think the seating plane and the floor just sandstone on the only part that's a big fancier is the speaker sodium and the roster on behind it in what is this hall used for today when it is at home with an open door dog today, it's used for special events, and in fact, it is one of germany's most significant event locations all every year here. for example, the peace prize of the german book trade has been awarded since 950. the good prize, one of the highest honors of the city of frankfort, is also awarded here. plus major anniversary observances are held here. for a great many thanks for listening to. the next point of interest, i'm heading for it is the river mine and the who is buying bridge from here you can see another of the cities highlights the steel art institute, frankfurt as

a business and banking city also have a lot of art and culture to offer pretty concentrated on the banks of the mine, therefore, the name museum, or the museum embankments. and right now, we introduce you to the probably the most important as in frankfort. the oh, frankfurt state museum is famous for its historical masterpieces. we see fallen heroes mismatched couple's famous men. first leasing women in painting, paintings, ah, steady state museum was founded in 1815, oldest city museum and germany. 7000 square meters of space. we display some 1000

works of art from 7 centuries. so it's a comprehensive overview of from the middle ages to the presence of those. you don't have an opportunity to visit frankfurt, can take the museum's virtual tour. it allows you to peruse $56.00 outstanding works of hours at the click of a mouse from the comfort of home, taking you on a journey through the centuries deep into the realms of cultural history. the real, if you mention the full people by people, i think it's especially valuable to gathered together. very different people. on the so many centuries, the state of director philip de mont selected exemplary works and supplemented them with background stories and notes awe. for example, how can we tell that a famous patricia girl was left unfinished for a time and only completed later on good faith in

good to the companion is world famous of course. but if you look down a little, you'll see that one leg as long as the other. now he's got 2 left feet. why it says something clearly went wrong with this picture. and this painting by manet, best message. it even touched off a scandal among his 19th century contemporaries often after that 1st glance, familiar dining table scene. in reality, this is a portrait of his lover together with the legitimate son. of course that didn't fit well with the ideals of respectable society. at the time around $870.00 and monk gave passion the twist all of his own in the heart at the moment created a straightforward scene of jealousy, of 2 men and one woman. and i clearly get straight to the point that one is all green, the other all yellow, and she's in the middle and red as a beet. quite a scene from such

a museum likes taking its trenches off their pedestals for they can be understood not just admired to the stories behind the pictures. ah, the once a year, frankfort pays tribute to its many museums with a big bash on the banks of the river. mine. the institutions that take part include the cities still museum and it's communication museum. since it was 1st health in 1988 the festival drone into the biggest in the region. now some 3000000 people come to the annual museums for fest, and there is plenty to keep them busy. the

hot out here today time to look for a little shade. now we cool off a little bit. as you know, we regularly show you the adventures of our globe trotter spanish. and this time steve has been to the largest island in the world, greenland. he visited the capital, knew went fishing, and also did a pretty frosty ex. i lose hello and welcome to greenland. i am the aunt excited to show you a slice of this incredible place on the nook is green mac and means something like cape town basins of the city. actually go back to this guy here. his name is hans egan there, and he was a danish missionary who built this church over here. and some fact his house, which is the yellow one over there, is the oldest house in olive green. then,

i'm here with my boy sallie. he's from new and we actually know each other from instagram. and he took me up here to hike to the top of melina. right? yes. so how long will it take us? approximately 30 to 40 minutes, 30 to 40 minutes. and that's a good spot to see. look, and the area around look from the, the the one hour hiking. but we're not lucky today. because when you look from here, you can see anything. it is 2 days later and i decided to come back because some tim out and i'm glad i did because of you from just incredible. down here. look yours to surrounding mountains and you can even see

icebergs. ah, if you knew of course, you need to take a boat and get out there into the nature and, ah, alright, the time has come, we'll just find out if we will have dinner tonight or not. we're now going to fish here it is. surrounding here we got something, maybe you have dinner to there it is. oh yeah. ah was who's the? i'm now sending directly on the green and ice kept together with my guy. nicholas

here. we have crumbling on. we have, let's see, it was equipment. so where are we and what are we about to do now? well, we are technically the middle of nowhere off. and this neighborhood also called the ice cap, the 2nd largest ice cube in the world and we are going on the camp to sleep for the night. ah ah, walk out just ah, now i've got an adventure lined up. i've arranged to go stand

a peddling on the mine one morning. lucas and i see is for me to set out for a bit of stand up paddling. already done this by the way, but it wasn't the sea and pretty calm. it wasn't on flowing water. does that make a big difference? yeah, and if, well, we will have to watch out for the boats here on the river mine. we'll manage no problem, bye on the thing then spun him. i know it just get on. yes. up 1st get down on your knee. ah, ah, ah, well, it's been a while, so it's a good thing. i've got instructors like robin and eileen at my side

rule this is how you stand up. will be positioned in the very middle of the board level with a strap and from your hands and knees. take careful steps to make sure you're standing stable in our food. right. put your heels, take the pedals and stand upright. paddling him all 3 perfect. the hands we had down the mine towards the city center. if only these ships were everywhere. i'm a little nervous because i see, wait, you know you're holding your pedal backwards. yeah, yeah. i know, but it's all worth it for this view of the skylight. but it looks

like there's a lot of fun really nice true at the end. i mean, even shows off her yoga skills on the board. well, she's braver than i in the shop, or if you're in frankfort and you want to make a little detour, i recommend the grind go only 40 kilometers away. it's a romantic natural landscape with lots of tasty wine, and we start the fate capital of hazard. the bottom, the who's the sudden is one of the oldest health spots in europe. the city is shaped by the facilities surrounding the old courthouse or small house. the park reflects the tradition of english garden landscaping. like the rest of the city, the baroque, the palace stand on, the north bank of the rhine,

the region as well known for its vineyards and the fine golden lake may produce ah, the river line is lined with historic towns, capital, and half tim. that how that among them is as philip districts largest town, ah, a few kilometers away as the former either box assertion, abbey established in 1136. ah. much as can be seen from the rhine gliding past on an excursion boat. this is also where the romantic rhine begins and unesco world heritage site. since 2002 the left springs passengers up to the

monument on a hill above the times. it commemorates the founding of the german empire in $1871.00. the somewhat command spectacular view of the rhine valley. as far as can you just find the little town attracts around a 1000000 visitors every year. no excursion in ringo is complete without a stop at one of the many taverns for a glass over locally grown. the speaking of wine frankfurt has its own local varieties. this one isn't made from grapes, but apples and it's called the local dialect, edit void, or simply apple wines whose it's poured from

a special jug called a bended into a particular kind of cut less. who's the home? why the love and on the glass of the house, it's called that because of the lawson shale fun for doctor frank ford have their own dialect, and they just call them rips the wine used to be a log cloutier. so these ribs are there firstly to get the impression that it's much clearer than it is. and i can make a circle and tell them from bit him when all the way down the pubs didn't used to serve anything to eat. so people brought their own 1st wolf mitka block omitted infecting and with those greasy fingers, it's easier to hold onto a class like this than one that's totally smooth. so form follows function. they may not have known it at the time, but they did it anyway. years well, i'm eating, there's our weekly, ve me for you. every week we show your travel videos uncontrollably from russia. i
