so common $560.00 steps to a height of 102 meters in the most recent competition. a woman from all my did it in 4 minutes. 19 seconds. this is an amazing feeling of this wonderful old building mark. when you get up here, you have the most beautiful. here is a great feeling when you get to the telecom ah, the steeple of all men star is a world racquel. at exactly 161 meters and 53 centimeters. it's the tallest church tower in the world. around $1000000.00 visitors flocked to the minster each year. it's almost most famous landmark, one of the most prosperous and powerful german cities in the middle ages.

ah, on the way down the tower runner calls on the tower warden. every day, hey, i know. did you run up the tower? yes. well, he, how was earth? florian grampa has also run up the tower. if others are, i found it to be a real challenge, oswald, to wish you're alone with yourself and the tower and the effort you and it's really exhausting the engineering. the last section really challenged me is logistic, hug me the lives of osha, argon chic liver. florian compose one place is 70 meters above the city. the 60 year old is a qualified engineer, but for more than 10 years he has been the tower warden at o minster. he says it's the best job in the world. even for later i only made if i

lived 300 meters from here as the crow flies for mine, and i can see own minster from my windows staid. thy just stands there. an enormous powerful building lady. the newfound by you come up from bavaria on the autobahn, no matter where you're coming from. this building stands in front of you like a fortress her via yes, i love that about it. this cindy as it is this for it me a good on there have been tower wardens at the minster for centuries. the balconies were used to look out for fire, for advancing armies and to sound the alarm. the view from up here is marvellous. this is the oversight when i come up here in the morning will i'm the 1st person to look out over my town is able to start fondle shy of am i and i say my town deliberately has gone through with this for thief. follow, i see what's changing. there was what's growing was vic, what's being demolished of what's being rebuilt on subtler the. and of course, i have a sense of grandeur being so i of ohio. so of all but so,

so but there's also somebody at the foot of the tower who enjoys the morning just as much blue and st. eberhart. allah is the vancho. it's his job to ensure the smooth running of them instead. and i always get up at half past 5 on sunday mornings. i'm here by half past 6. it's the best part of the day. he's always the 1st to arrive. for him, the church is a spiritual away, says a place where he can recharge his bad friends. ah.

as verger answered eberhart allah is something like the pastor's right hand. he gets everything ready for the service. that's why he doesn't wear overalls, but a suit. in addition to practical things such as unlocking the church and switching on the lights, he also prepares the altar. the 1st service of the day always takes place in the quiet stalls. to my mind, the wolf go down. i know my job also includes taking care of the building,

as the minster teaches us, humility rather than pride. i think this space definitely has that effect even on ignorant people, only they leave the church differences from when they went ahead and of course came v 70 guns and judge services had been held in the minster for around 600 years. diminished osha's. i english welsh. i knew it convinced her probably doesn't care who works here. marked is how heavy stick. the main thing is to do it right as if it i would never say it's my minster mine. you wouldn't hear that from me to service if a minute. hm. a few meters above the choir stalls. and st. eberhardt friedman, the minster musical director insists on playing the organ himself at the morning service. even when it's bitterly cold. this is didn't, here. the organism sits here in a bit of a draft. it's very noticeable. down below we have pedal heating in the

well, we have to retrofit the new oregon with infrared heating for the fingers. lots of i fell basic. we have to use clothes pegs for instance. so that the draft doesn't turn the pages of the hymnals from the stand because i'm going to flip them. i even in mid summer, it's never warmer than 15 degrees celsius. in the 40 meter high organ, long, the day it barely 10 degrees. the enormous name is still empty at 8 o'clock the quiet door in front of the altar. sufficient for the 1st monday i i

i the dean and the goal loves him and stuff. blessed be god who does not reject my prayer. his days has passed, i hear a number, he has been elected regional bishop. the pain of parting is mixed with a joy ah ish and found. it's a wonderful space, the air, a sermon in itself. so it also preaches with the light, even if it's a bit overcast. like today, it's a great gift to be able to minister in a building like this and said, open this, the lord, bless you and keep you the lord. make his face to shine upon you. and be gracious

on to you, the lord lift up the light of his countenance upon you and give you pain. will she go? ah, dean goal shows us his favorite place in minster. he said that is i get to sewage different keyboards that appeal to me depending on my mood. and if i want to have some peace and quiet, i go to the better chapel and see with its many evils stained glass windows. so many centuries old. no. as archer instances, that such an image of hope that it feels good to be part of this tradition or one has a lot of options depending on one's mood than woman. so you, enough time to get in touch. the vonsha asked eberhardt allah also has his favorite spot in the minster. but to get there, you have to walk across the rafters above the nave. more than 40 meters above

ground. it's the bell tower. there's one special bell here. over 500 years old. for centuries that has been rung by hand. once a year, when the cities man takes an oath that all the residence of the town shall be treated equally. today is just a rehearsal. oh, this is a scene for i knew my mom deepening status. this is definitely one of my favorite duties. dumb it would take a lot for me to have to send a substitute sheet. it would be terrible for me if i was ill wiggly and couldn't do

it myself, dot com, where that went to sniff malcolm good. im was one of the 10 most important german towns in the middle ages. this town on the danube was a powerful trading hub and was immensely rich in the towns archives. the most important documents from the cities passed a preserved historian goodwin lids, takes us into the vault. here we see the original plan of the minster tower from the 15th century. ah, ah. the drawing is on parchment, a church and the gothic style with space for $20000.00 people at the time own had barely half that many residence but the bunkers of the city wanted

a really imposing judge and paid for it themselves. this momentous across the street here in oil, i know they are at the residence of all wanted a really big church growth. so they built one enormous parish church minimum. the town only had one parish church in and it had to be enormous in and call. and of course a launch church also needs a large tower on when voided the people who wanted it to symbolized that power and wealth kian. the minster was originally planned as a catholic church, and the intention was to place a statue of the virgin mary on top of the spire. however, this plan was abandoned when home became protestant in the 16th century. thus india mostly these are the lists from 1530 in recording. the votes of the male

citizens of wound up who are entitled to vote on whether you should convert to the evangelical faith or not. and club, 87 percent of the residents decided in favor of the new doctrine and try to teach ferdinand earlier. and so the catholic minster became a protestant church historian, good unless tells us what this meant and practical times. ready until then, the rich families of the city had embellished their minster with works of art. as was the custom with catholic churches. there was at least one private altar at each bela as many as 60 in the whole church. there were paintings and sculpture everywhere. the historian explains that rich patrons like to see themselves depicted in these works. a wealthy merchant couple kneeling at the feet of gone or at this altar, which shows the family of jesus, the faces of those of the hoods,

merchant, family. all of that had to go after the reformation. here stood a 15 metre high altar, but good of them lit, tells us that it was destroyed in the zeal of the reformation. however, there was no general destruction of religious art in oh, that happiness be lost or people still think of the protestant reformation as iconoclastic. but here it took the form of what i would call an orderly removal of images that the town council gave the don't as the opportunity to take home. the works of art that had stood on their family alternately unfamiliar ideas done. however, the changes of the reformation didn't stop throwing out paintings and altars. suddenly all forms of ostentation and the gothic style itself were frowned upon. the good protestants of own decided that 70 meters was tall enough for

a church tower, mit dem bowl and stuff. so, so for who 2 costs advice has been taken to stop construction work on the church to prevent enormous costs and the embarrassment of ridicule didn't. so we see it was decided not to complete the tower. i tossed up further construction. the reasons were not only financial dawson gothic architecture was beginning to go out of fashion. war on the residence of wound chose to stop construction rather than to continue being the subject of ridicule before done by tucker spotted reggie. but it women statement in bolingbrook. i'm but today we see it standing there almost 162 meters high. some 300 years after the building freeze. that was a gothic revival. the old plans were taken out of the drawer and the tower was completed. ornate flying buttresses, and arches were added neo gothic in its purest,

all. ah, the historic building has also inspired stories. catherine churches is an archaeologist and author. the minster inspired her to write a series of children's books in which a bat is the main protagonist. for the children of whom this gargoyle is lily long in the bat, from, or minster nodding there, that we must letskowiz, and in can you just leave and spare? i would have been an obvious choice. every child here knows him. gleason looked at, i've read too many stories about the sparrow, so i was looking for another creature, a needed one that not only explained the men hold it from the ground, but can also dive fly into the air to take

a look at works of art up that i've seen almost every child in knows her books because many children in elementary school learn about the minster from it. the archaeologist explains the church, his features and its works of art in a way that appeals to children. a sustained death yet was that is almost the devil has bat wings. just like me. she exclaims, and don't worry. he has dragon wings and the dragon has always been a symbol of evil. but that used to be the case for bath is too they were thought to be distant relatives of the devil, because bats only come out at night nuts, up t bad. but it's not only the people of whom who know and loved them minster. the church draws tourists from around the world. some $1000000.00 people visit own minster each year and some $150000.00 of them climb that our. the minster is prepared for emergencies in this narrow space. your highness hoon is

the head of the voluntary height rescue service saw good evening everyone. a warm welcome to the rescue service here at the main fire station will set out straight away to the minster. today will be practicing a rescue through the belfry shackleton track for once a year. they train for a rescue mission in the minster town. oh, go with women. we felt a little bit after one a day off about every 12 or 18 months. we have to go up to rescue some one month popish list doesn't always result in transport through the bell chamber. madam and if you walk up there with your eyes open, then look at some of the tourists. you know, something's going to happen from time to time. it's pursued by delighted if people

don't realize what it involves climbing 143 meters, or whether they can do it, can you see people with 2 bags from the market who then struggle up the tower in high heels or dressed too lightly or overdressed? i'd be glad you see everything gets alice. the rescuers are all volunteers and they have to carry their equipment themselves. right, i thought were going out in hall. they arrive at 70 meters. just impressing the interest in technology, the fun of working with others and above all, getting close to objects and buildings to which most people don't have access in boy a construction grain, a large mill or television tower, bulk the minster. other people don't have access and we do, we can practice here and we're also doing something worthwhile that we're doing it

for our fellow citizens. it's altogether a good feeling and this to some will just give you the on fire fighter has a special bond with the minster. he got married here and his son was baptized in the church. back to the height rescue. the 1st volunteer patient is held suspended over the belfry shaft law. jessica glazer is watching closely. she'll be next. and it's a 70 meter trunk. i know mic legacy lou filled and the gap opened almost and we dropped down 70 meters remind oh plumber alonzo. this could

assume i knew the most critical point is the opening of the belfry shaft, named that when the lid is removed off and you feel the draft from below because the cool air then rushes up portland, that's when you realize, wow, i'm really going to drop 70 meters, 50 middle 100, so forth school. so will you let me know a good time before you come through the next? all yeah, yes. we still have a meter made. everything's okay. so in middle and meters more than 10 meters to the next. all actual so loaded with synthesis. look through it. we're through the whole long, somewhat slow down through lungs. i'm a low down with your call because here comes the chandelier guns. so

10 meters to the next one? 0, not quite keep lowering so yes, i'm happy everything's fine. would rescue operations are also carried out in the construction site office. in this case, the patient is the minster itself. there are plenty of custom made spare parts in the yard. one of the men's to rescue us is emily class. he's a stonemason with a passion. he has been walking on the minster for some 35 years

out of his bulkhead sandstone. he's causing a piece to repair, part of the tower with the goose does. that is, you know, although this i have to work very meticulously. he formative foreman elbow to one for and i have to pass on the patterns in the process to the following generation to sleep. the. so that is as little falsification as possible. the training, i know designs of one's own formal only replicas you as precise as possible. the minster is a permanent construction site. in the 1980s class saw the church briefly without scaffolding, but that was a long time ago. the stone mason shows us a simple method using plaster bandages to observe cracks in the towers when you so this way though, if the crack continues to open the plaster, where we've marked the crack will break apart. maybe even half of it will fall off

. and then we can see that there's movement to be that's how you keep a check on october. id, foreman is construction manager in charge of maintenance and restoration of or minster. her job is to conserve the monumental structure. she describes this responsibility as both a burden and an honor. this is vicky. it's like receiving a peerage. i can't describe it any other way. if it was a totally attractive job advertisement and i just had to apply for it for them. it's good that it all worked out. it's something special you currently the main concern is the tower. the construction manager is particularly worried about the effects of climate change. we hadn't, we had 3 hurricanes this year, 3 in a row and, and 3 down because of really heavy wrangling on like all other large buildings. one

minster has to cope with that of and when you look at these stone formations, i'm how washed out they are, especially at the heights where we work, how they are eaten away. oh, it's an enormous challenge for us and see how eroded they are by appellation, which is not actually the main problem of more by the rain that the lashes than when there's a storm. just recognizing what parts of the structure are no longer intact, that that's a big responsibility he found for them. in this section they've had to replace 30 tons of stone. that's no simple matter. in the case of a gothic building where each stone is important for the statics of the whole swapping stones has to be calculated and planned precisely. but despite all the challenges, every one here in joyce, the work send privately. it's a privilege to be able to work here at all. that's one thing. and then the some reference involved festival, respect to all the people who have worked here before us,

and then respect for the building itself. i have great respect for all men stuff, if it's an honor to be here to sign. mm. oh, oh oh.

oh, see co india 0 waste. freq is as robust is concrete and consist of trash. foundry dust is the main recycled material away. ready product from metal production, which is usually dumped into nature, mixed in a bit of plastic waste and it's done eco, ah, in 15 minutes on d. w. m. what secrets lie behind these walls?
