on d w, this is great, lead to go over. that's how the force and i'm told him and that we can talk about that the last dragon had called the home table. you books on ah, ah, ah, ah ah, you cities in germany or it's easy to recognize this one. this guy line with so many high rises can only be mine had to alias bank for it. that is frank for

it's a classic among germany. 50 trips frankfurt with its exciting contrasts 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 ought to be on the water. ah, of course to be all to make a detour to the city's famous art museum. the speed of our globe trotter takes us to greenland from the capital, nude to the interest ice. and this week's dear video shows impressions of an adventurous journey through the biggest 10 ah high finance high rises and high rent frankfurt center. it was almost destroyed and

were to clear space for new buildings. i'd like to get a birds eye view of it all. the my tell us has an observation deck in 30 seconds. us sent 200 meters in good. whether it's worth seeing, 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 white. i like the old part of the city now . she took too little to the architectural, the contrast of old immune and then that's really nice. well, it's beautiful. it's a touch of triple. 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 half 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 heart of it's l town. ah, the area was almost totally destroyed by air raids in march 1944. now it's been resurrected as a testament to frankfurt, medieval passed architect and having a plan, a young dog as reconstructed the most ornate avail buildings. the golden scale was once owned by the dutch spice merchant and confection. hum, fun humble. ringback by the goldman budget 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 club. 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 buildings. i knew no fun home or family papers reveal details like the existence of a gilded water spout shaped like a dragon. a total of 15 buildings have been reconstructed. 20 more are entirely new, built in medieval style. some people criticize the project at 1st, but today the new old town is a thing of beauty from asked and i am finished. my 1st impression is that it's beautiful. it's a static and pleasing stuff. i can't say that about it because i saw it came out very well. i didn't know how much money went into it. would that raise the 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 that maybe that'll come when the right shots move in. some shops have already opened like this one bar. the businesses with a regional connection get preferential treatment when trying to sign leases in the new old town. this barber shop has been well received in mid low ellis, up to this area feels a little like a village off character. the owners all know each other. in time, besides the shops, as a 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 to frankfurt to fill it with life. yahoo dot says it was well less it vibrate us only because we have this back. can people here? remember what was seen? they can see that this with their past. you so now they can also ask themselves about the future. me

right next to the new old town is the luma back. and the old townhome. this was also destroyed in the war and rebuilt in the 1950 s. many of frankfort buildings, has had a checkered 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 $848.00. the 1st step on the long road to democracy in germany was kinda what, again, a visit your learn here. you know this one committee wouldn't the mural was only put up in 1991. it's by you how to go. let's go and shows the profession of the deputies to saint paul churches are. how do these gentlemen with solemn expressions, are supposed to be the deputy design and there were about $200.00. and then you have seen from daily life scattered throughout and references to history as well. 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 poles charged parliament failed post. parliament shaded it doesn't. it's one of the birthplaces of democracy, but a site from the painting, everything, so plain and silver. why is that done for us to sit down with the cursor and that's because the church was entirely destroyed in world war 2 are no, all but the outside walls and they were less but the whole interior, everything inside or all that remained was this giant round room after him, after the war, they rebuild the st. paul church for the centennial and 948, but in a very austere contemporary style. stone and fight can be heart. boy and good for communism ag. now we're coming up from the lower darkness into the bright open space that symbolizes the new democratic beginning copy. democrats and oregon

viewed. and then was, comes from the interior, was left purposely austere. and i think the seating plane and the floor just sandstone. on the only part that's a big fan here is the speakers podium and the roster and behind it what is this hall used for today? when it is at home? you know, it's not going to have it hard out today. it's used for special events, and in fact, it is one of germany's most significant event locations for him all every year. here. for example, the peace prize that the german dog 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 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 for effort as a business and banking city also has a lot of art and culture to offer pretty concentrated on the banks of the mind, therefore, the name museum, or the museum embankment. and right now, we introduce you to the probably the most important here in frankfort. the oh, frankfurt state museum is famous for its historical math pieces. we see fallen heroes mismatched couples. famous men, 1st leasing women in painting painting in the stead and was in the state of museum, was founded in 1815 oldest city museum and germany in 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 who don't have an opportunity to visit frankfurt, can take the museums virtual tour. it allows you to peruse $56.00 outstanding works at the click of a mouse from the comfort of home, taking you on a journey through the centuries deep into the rooms of cultural history. the few mentioned the people by people. i think it's especially valuable to gathered together, very different people. on the so many centuries, the status director philip de mount, i selected exemplary works and supplemented them with background stories and note ah, how can we can that a famous portrays of geisha 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 is long as the other. now he's got 2 left feet. why it says something clearly went wrong with his picture. and this painting by manet, best, a hidden message. it even touched off a scandal among his 19th century contemporaries. after that 1st glance, familiar dining table theatres. in reality, this is a portrait of his lover together with her illegitimate son. of course, that didn't sit well with the ideals of respectable society. at the time around $870.00 and monk gave passions a twist. all of his own in the heart, 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 as seen from such de la museum likes taking its treasures off their pedestals so they can be understood not just a mind to the stories behind the pictures. ah, i once a year frankfurt paid 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 festivals grown into the biggest in the region. now some 3000000 people come to the annual museums processed, and there is plenty to keep them busy. the
