explores the southernmost region of europe on a trip full of cultural treasure. 30 minutes on d w. they want to know what makes with love and banning thing with stuff away from that. but i'm not even know how to work my own car and everyone with later holes in every way of getting you ready to meet the german. and i me right, just do it on d. w. ah, ah, ah. with

what but south central station. today i am in burke county, a region in the federal state of north ryan westphalia, that is shaped by its industrial history a 100 years ago. but i was dirty blout and crowded. it was the center of the textile industry in germany, a working class city. well, the city's no beauty at 1st sight if you're planning a city trip in germany, you probably think of munich, berlin, or hamburg. but potter, i don't think that many people out there know about the city, and to be honest, neither do i. so let's just discover papa thought together. ah, the city has something very special, a suspension railway it has been the number one means of transport here for 120 years. the construction of the suspension

railway has to do with industrialization. the traffic increased fast at that time. in order to relieve the streets, people had to move in the air. the suspension railroad follows the river voip up and over the by a factory premises. some of the few companies that still exist here. for me, this is something very exciting because this every day life take the overhead tree . this is crazy. so close to the houses and this is particularly worth, see the turning maneuver at the full vehicle terminus. there are 20 stops. each one is different. i like this one best, the purplish cos, it looks like a small castle art level. when it comes to architecture.

booklet top is extremely diverse. there are so many cool places to discover old ones with tradition, but also some that are brought back to life with good ideas. ah, the vizier hope a former gas boiler gets a new interior utopia city viewport. our residents are committed to the future of the city in the disused train station and loans than bridge germany's pious railway bridge. and the only one that you can climb on to be out, the hustler is the city guide and has promised me insights into the history of a baton and great views. here we start the vizier dorm, a decommissioned gas boiler that is used inside as an exhibition space. with

precisely composed projections, a great feeling of space here. one floor up, you'll find the sky walk with a $360.00 degree panoramic view. it was not until 1930 that the individual industrial places along the flippa merged into one city and they named themselves after the river that connects them for battle. every other shall be out . i heard that full bottle is rain whole. that's true, right? is it always like that? it is, as it was all i as a vip, it'll always gets a lot of rain here. the children are born with umbrellas and brought the boots, saw him 1 may go miss different booklet. velvet. why did the textile industry choose to set up shop here to fish that young visited the gun and their services due to the water of the look the river and the plato of the yawn he had, which was already practised here, back in the 16th century that the textile industry developed count that the

bleaching required the sun and rain, and flippity was the path at place for that size. oh, long playing toughness will my thought am for perfect? 150 years ago, vip auto group to one of the largest industrial sites in europe, in the 1970s automation and competition from low wage countries, led to the decline of the textile industry. scott, it's i have as 0 as for some time enhance unemployment was very high, him but the medium sized businesses here are very well connected. and afterwards they were able to create lots of jobs that then the university came along and it's boomed for the last 20 years. that is good. want internet fans in the old factories and they're chimney's still shape the cityscape today, down here is this. i and i, let's, this is one of the last remaining places where textiles were once produced. stanley,

i bet they made ribbon. when he bent down here the straps. lehman everything still as it was fun, waffa ah, the highlight there are still original looms on the 1st floor. it seems like a lost place to me. you can walk through history here and you can even touched it. ah asked if the workers had just gone home. all the machines stopped thus far and thus far loud, it was ram out loud and ha jeeps to the lose was steam driven. so it was an incredibly stressful place to work, grassy and widened. yet for our boy, ah, the splendor and misery of the industrial revolution was experienced by this

gentlemen, 1st hand and foot by type, freely hang. it's textile, entrepreneur, philosopher, revolutionary, and leader of the labor movement. obviously the wisest text here, german in chinese instead of english for instance, if you're, if that's a sinus ankle. therefore federal fe, keena, this statue as a gift from the people's republic of china. a thing as an author, the blanco's is of great importance to the chinese duties. communist ideas come hoc element. yeah. they come here in big groups to visit angle statues and take home a bit of this state's industrial culture. waco swore us an i v me. so let's take a look at angles house in house and son that i'll come on. lucas, you came by. the grandfather's house where it's grew up is now a museum. hey angus wrote the communist manifesto

together with callmax. he's famous for that english found his 1st inspiration in the family's textile factory, which he later took over the english as a boss and entrepreneur himself and had many workers. how did he actually treat them? responded on those keep that went asi business them, as i said, is new stella, there are different visa. she suddenly wasn't the most progressive boston and i definitely weren't any town building exercises as we know them today as a hellish math. but what he did in his enterprises, without a doubt, was to abolish child labor, which was still common at the time thus far in dangling, gambled through these outside. the rich angles families still lived in the immediate vicinity of their factories and workers. ah, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century that the rich moved away from the dirt of the city up into the heads of forgotten here. they built their villas.

ah, so the battle is really a city full of contrasts for new york has got the highlight. and papa has got the north fawn profit, a former railway line across the city at 22 kilometers. the not bon casa, was the longest in a city train route. the people here fought for years to turn it into a bike path. now the root is, there's ah, we'll talk, yeah, shut or utopia. city is right on the bike path. it is a citizen project, something like

a test laboratory for urban change. you can rent containers here and try out ideas from coffee roasting to serve and gardening. people meet here and discuss what a good life at the city of the future could look like. me. centerpiece is the new train station, open workshops and event rooms are being built here. it's another big construction site and he has been to me here in the waiting room. it was the jewel at the entire station and will be once again, like right now it's a construction site. a moment is boston. what i'm telling me it is here. he knows what we are stuck behind. utopia city here. the desire to create possible space, physical ones like this room, but also idealized space, have mental spaces for so long, elementary affliction. who came up with all that is going to offer that?

does this good question? i was going who comes up with such an idea of lots of people from the creative and technical factors about about neighbors in the next want to help shape the city steps oversize. we continue outside. there is 40000 square meters of playground for ideas. finance with loans, brands and donations from citizens for citizens of s i 1st and looks like a huge construction site. what's going on here? yes. is that with now? it's a big construction side. next summer, a big student competition will take place already. week 18 building is made by teams of students from an 11 countries will stand on after they're gone and the ground has been leveled again. so the containers will probably come back right now . we're holding a competition seeking ideas for the development of this whole and an antique concept of absolutely going to be made of antiquities, a hollow here. so it's about bringing up as much space as possible for experimental

urban development. why of all the move, please? through experimentalist in the gloom, so on and off that when can i see something finished here looking at being am, if it were up to me, it had never be truly finished because experimental oven development needs development is vicky bottle is the city that has been reinventing itself since the decline of the textile industry, you could feel it here. ah, this is exhausting there over $500.00 stairs in full baton. more than in any other german city. each one has its own name. and some are designed by artist like the hosting stairs. if the people voted when it leave the city and see some nature,

they can go to baggage, lunch, or burke county. it lies at the gates of the city and it's just half an hour away. ah oh, on weekends, not just the woods, toddlers, but also people from cologne and dusseldorf, head to the hills and forests of the bag ashes land. this region of north rind, westphalia offers a wide variety of recreational activities. eats extensive forests are a great place to explore on height, and even cyclists will also find well sign posted roots. but a hot air balloon ride, it's tough to top. the bare gushes, land is also rich in water. there are many small rivers like the ripper. the dune

and vizier and countless reservoirs created to keep the annual floods in check. no other place in germany boasts as many man made lake in summer. they're popular with water. sports enthusiasts. bag is german for mountain, but the bag of sugar land is it named for its hilly terrain. the name comes from the counts of bad who ruled this county for centuries, many castles and palaces here date from this period. now they provide the perfect destination for relaxing weekend to get away. ah, oh, do i dear to go up there? london bridge spans the flippa river near zoning and it is the highest railway

bridge in germany, 107 meters high. the crazy thing is you can climb up 777 steps. lead up along the gigantic arch of the bridge. i want to try to go up there to 1st there are felts walkie talkies. who do you copy? yeah. and security check leads. good, else, perfect. done the stuff, i'm all i work road here we go with 15 minutes a sent through the forest. we're not even at the bridge. and my hearts already beaten faster. ah. oh yes. once you hook on right up here where i'm standing, you'll only exit the securing system once you reach the on it resides it

was actually clear to me that this would happen. my fear of heights kicks in. my mouth is dry. i'm starting to stutter. i'm not enjoying this at all. so the group is almost at the top. sewland stays with me. i want to go up to the group is already taking pictures. when we're here on the east coast, but if you want to and day 2, you can look over here and i'll take a picture of your the motion as the said he every step as a fight. oh man ah, and the others are already on their way back at me.

i'm done with it with i almost made it but then i was just to have free. anyway, i'm proud of myself and i think i need a break. yeah. i'll these to you gloria. owned memoria, hollywood with what that mean. but you also get performed. a glorious feature went above and beyond, and almost breached to tom milka delva the old old girl drink to that. and ellis, though, honestly, i'm glad to be down here again because i mean, how long did it take from the idea to the moment when you actually had people up there? i mentioned because it up the link is longer than it back in. and in our night we thought maybe one or 2 years, i'm fly out. in fact, or 10 before we cleared away,

the roadblock and the authorities. i wouldn't say put in our way, but we wanna test k. they've never dealt with anything like this before. my crime can fall optimal b 15 content. give me a clue. you have been very surprised how many people have contacted us and said they want to climate. we promised ourselves that if we sold a 1000 ticket on between the press conference and the opening fund would fly to las vegas to celebrate. and that will suddenly noticed we've sold 7000 ticket hope for hope. we have to open up many more time slot that i pay for buying a voucher. i wouldn't have to wait until march 2025. to use it. i mean, so there's lots of work ahead. the 5 good days. we can guide 200 people across the branch. we have our hands full and we're really happy about the tool and follow up who will come to your guess mostly come from germany or also from abroad. although to from, from also as a d my,

most of them come from germany g to the travel restrictions. but we do have foreign visitors, especially railroad enthusiasts. on now that a klein only had the chance to scale a railway bridge, yet folks from all over europe coming here with biden, because it's some extraordinary as awesome oral passion all slumped. you but i'll you hear about sample. so alpha goodness. so they look at the rivets, not of you know exactly what all feel, how it vibrates when a train passes over and to lift it. sanders. i gotcha climb of the bridge only here one us adoption. it's one of a kind in germany and europe to globally. it's comparable to sydney's hobby bridge for. but for those for whom sydney is too far away. bez winston bridge would stop quicker. so this day to day, i will not forget it all my life. i'll stay a little longer in burke county. by and book is one of the most beautiful counts here. i need to recover from the adrenalin rush. this

is really pretty. the houses are all clad with slate and have a uniform color combination. there is a name for it. the vert try it. white green as black blue by and book also has a reservoir. i think it's perfect for an auto mall and really relaxing here. even in the countryside, you can discover industrial history. you can book a tour on the form of upa valley railway with a hand car. ah, this section of the track was laid in the looper valley in 18. 80 to service the textile industry, to day hand cars run along the line, past former cloth factories dating back from fried rich ingles day to fill. the tours highlight is the old voting textile,

making complex roofing for thought is of course the roof and complex is germany's largest remaining industrial ensemble. from that period, we reached the former factory town visits of haven't aveson for 4 of us are touring around enjoying the landscape. awesome. so it's now let's see what they'll tell us about wolfing and angles in earth yet. so it's quite interesting to gain some insight and learn what industrial life was like a century ago unfold. oh no. john wilkins zulu thing was something special back then. it housed not just textile factories and workers apartments, but also shops, daycares, and sports facilities invoke or tal. a person in a working class household had just 2 to 3 square meters of space. here doors, they had 12 children that via the and they said were injured voice. it wasn't just a humane gesture lawyer. they had to do something to draw city folk out here to the middle of nowhere near to day voting is a museum, wolfgang moss,

a neck was the factory manager here for over 30 years and witnessed 1st hand how jobs were lost was at one time 300 looms stood here. sure felton hut in ian and we had 60 weaving machines that one weaver would operate 18 machines. each of these power looms ran 10 times as fast as the single line run by just one way or by the marshy another. despite the automation in the 19 ninety's voting could no longer compete with cheap textile imports. from the far east to day, the looms are only operated for the museums visitors from zagata. i'm i to impress it on with the time they take and how precisely they explain saying say it's very good. they go to the food offer. what's now history still has an effect on the present. our name i wish to is the chair physician workers' rights and your social security health insurance on all these things came out of it or sign him. we and

hotel can be proust. all angle is one of our own law. and anton sites in ireland and orphan from angles day right through to the present. this to are leaves you with plenty to think about. ah, i'm in full bottle again in the hot facilities. this is one of the oldest to take a look at this. the burke coffee table waffle rice pudding. black bread, cold meats, raisin bread scrambled eggs. geez, cherries whipped cream and liquor. oh okay. i need support. sabina from coffee. that keeps me company. it's funny you know are in order here. what do i have to start with? a waffle or, or maybe i can say he knows all half the raisin bread, the cheese or is it

a rule that you have to start with the wash and there's no set order, but i really like to waffle and set him up on we can start with them, if you like the damage you're stopping. okay. so then let's get to the waffle with them to so that the waffles lights down smoothly. you definitely have to drink something. what's that when a biographer, to offer that sort of a delicious coffee. of course, i've heard of it sharon and the lack of a nice coffee from the top to mina top amendment, an unusual name anomaly doesn't oil. very german looks unusual. where does it come from? the center of and how it looks unusual because it originally comes from the netherlands form, so it's called cuppa by it because it drips out a little bit. as you can see here, double paid to not on been off top, norma. yeah. now that's why there's also

a little dish underneath the spouse. come next round at a coffee table like this. you sit with friends and family for hours. we can do it too. i what you call that. is there a name wrong, i'd say sinful. that very, pretty delicious kind of issues. i'm just getting into it. the appetite is coming fun. comes with the game you. that's true. well then i think sabina ah, i would say this is like a grand finale for my day in both. i thought you city may still be an incentive, but it shouldn't stay that way. so if you want to get away from the usual tourist roof, you should consider a trip to hope. i thought,
