duction, how exactly does it work? and do e feels, have a west energy balance read in 60 minutes on d w. how about taking out the race? you could even take a chance on the was rearing to ah, don't expect to happy ending. literature west germany. ah ah ah, ah ah,

i'm standing above the danny. over on the shore, you can see the beautiful old town. and this bridge is the stone bridge. built at the beginning of the 12th century. it's believe to be the oldest surviving bridge in germany. i'm in reagan's work in bavaria to be honest, the bridge doesn't look that old. that's because it's been completely restored over the past few years. after all, regensburg has a title to defend those 2006. it's old town including this bridge has been a unesco world heritage site. today i want to get to know regensburg what attracts visitors to this unesco world heritage site. and what does the constant influx of tourists mean for the city? this much is certain, it's going to be a journey through 2000 years of history. ah. will

also show you nearby belts and book abbey. i will find out what the growing popularity of cruise ship tourism means for regensburg and we'll catch up with our globe trotter in the city of kart da sienna in columbia. ah! who the fact that regensburg as such an old and well preserved city is largely thanks to it, not having been destroyed in the wars and its importance as an imperial city. in past centuries, a testimony to its former significance is the gothic cathedral construction began in the 13th century. and the cathedral tells us a lot about that time. as the facade also depicts the crueler side of the middle ages. ah,

the church vilified juice me this sculpture shows them suckling from a pig, a deliberate insult and humiliation as pigs are considered unclean and judaism. ah even so the building as a whole is an impressive monument next to the one in cologne, regensburg cathedral is considered to be germany's most extraordinary gothic cathedral. mm. ah! regensburg was not only important because it became a bishop seed fairly early on. the danya was a significant trade and traffic route and here on its banks and the old town hall, the perpetual diet or rice talk was held for over a 140 years. mm.

to find out more about what that was and what it meant for the city. i'm meeting the director of the regensburg museums. douglas gustavo b o. b b banking. ha, ha ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ha. what exactly was the perpetual diet rings? book law in from the 17th to the early 19th century, hagen's book was actually the capital of europe. a bit like brussels today. that was a live the mitchell diet was convened in 1663 just a few years after the 30 years wool. some old representatives from old countries from all cities gathered here. they were supposed to discuss taxes and military issues. but the talks then dr. dawn for so long that they never came to a final agreement. harden on people or at least not for a 143 years until 18 o. 6. yes. demure art undertakes the 100 that i owned. he had sick yon. v is dead.

why was it center been regensburg links book bash on in the several big gatherings had already taken place in reagan's book look good. the city is located on the danube and the door now. so the emperor was able to travel to vienna along the river in that house is money. that infrastructure was unique and offered short travel times, messages could reach the chancery in vienna within 3 days, and vice versa. novelist, neither annoying althea next to the infrastructure. there was a 2nd key factor, namely that regensburg was an imperial city by me. and i wish that it was not part of the surrounding dutchy of bavaria, but was directly subordinate to the emperor and more or less belong to him it to her to closets with him. a lesson of the die don't. wasn't the rice tag mean for regensburg doesn't get on a i imagine so many powerful people coming here meant money was being spent and had probably brought the city some other perks. total law tie for he stood up in the toilet. as of course, la la bacon's book was

a prosperous city and an international meeting place is meet with an ice box. almost every attic was rented out to diet envoys or to their entourages before the city was booming, performed a lot of diplomats held negotiations with other countries here because it was a short distance to travel up nolasco handled as back then the city had international flat to monthly and is that side? douglas gaston called my attention to an interesting mural. the bird on the wall is standing on one foot and holding a stone in its claw. it's meant to remind the envoys to pay close attention to the debates. whoever falls asleep as dropping the ball or hear the stone and disturbing the diet. admittedly, there is no way for me to know how the envoys spend their free time all those years ago. but my guess would be that more than once, they found themselves just a couple of kilometers of the river at the danube gorge. it's where belt and book

convent stance. it's home to one of germany's oldest breweries and up to this day, well worth a visit. the most beautiful route to visit him book abbey takes her across the river through the daniel gorge between limestone, wools up to 70, meet his heine, for the full experience hub on excellent, the traditional boat of the danube. fishermen. what are you at all is good. and goodwin, once upon a time rowing was the only option that i watched, but no one does that any more that we submitted it. now we have a motor flight, but we often turn it off to give people the full experience in a reader. boom, you can hear the silence. it's very specials, because on that is well, when you hear nothing, you can see a lot. ah, for example, you can see the rock formation, the 3 warring brothers. alternatively,

you could hike like haiti and hammon lehman for them. hiking is not recreation, it's work. the couple runs the small restaurant eyes. he'd like lu style or little hermitage which you can only reach by foot. it's worth the journey. the building complex used to be a franciscan monastery founded by hermit. the unique church has no proper roof, only the cliff which curves overhead. the frescoes with biblical scenes or from the 16th century. oh, hammond demon found out by chance that the historic hermitage was for sale and turned it into a heritage site. is a window shewn of his enclosure. mar. this like beautiful rock church had been closed for years in porpoise. i wanted to put it back in the spotlight and open it to the public. your thoughts? oh, miss bama. the 1st guests arrived early in the

morning and are given a tour of the cave right next to the church. as a here in the hollow goat or from the this cave is called gold oven, as an alchemist once lived here. and so for these pits in the rocks were carved by hand and housed wouldn't beams used probably to support a wooden houses and mr. we reach our destination there to book abbey, an impressive building right on the done you months. settled here and around the years, 617. that makes it the oldest monastery in bavaria. over the years, the benedictine monks kept on building their abbey. the 18th century church owes its splendor to the us. some brothers who designed many barrack churches in bavaria . but for many guess, the reason they came is,

the beer garden beer has been brewed in the monastery for more than 1000 years. another reason why more than half a 1000000 people come to veritable abbey every year. where you from either are honest man is magdalana. we're from south korea from who's on the region very much this plaza is so this via the cheers. back in the slightly rainy regensburg. i have an appointment with my tea. a supply tech at the 9 pop let's he shows me the outlines of the former jewish synagogue. regensburg is like many, many evil cities. if you dig here, it's likely you'll discover something in 1995 traces of the 2000 here, history of the city were uncovered during construction work on night pop. let's

see from the connect as, as you've probably noticed, we're under ground now in down to what's exciting here is that you can see recognizable old remains or i didn't with the wall with the arc length, but that's classical middle ages, about 700 to 800 years old, even because october the hood. if engine should now, if you take a step forward and look down over the parapet, oh you see those stones shine it. they may not look dead, specialty crew, but they're from roman ties is 2000 years ago. right. 1000, yahoo! river. this isn't when if we go through this arc, we come to a 2nd seller of your comin as we gets here in an old slide in kayla. and that was interesting here is that all the sellers in the documentation center he'll come from the former jewish order in a ginsberg since taylor this e. m. arlington year edition. phillip close in the biggest book on 243, his ins and to so what we're seeing here are traces of the jewish families,

innovations. port the hum since sunday lived in the city for 500 years. hm. went on then the toward the end of the middle ages, when regensburg was impoverished and needed a scapegoat exclusion and discrimination of jews began to increase. still in the fist dusty, i'll skin somebody discontinue, who soon him and him your fin fit all culminated in 15. 19. if, when the approximately 500 people living here were driven out in full dimension simply expel from the city else give using them on power target better huffman, they demolished the abandoned buildings just a few days later on in the probably so that no one would ask what had been there before? organics delish the and on the resulting square, they built a church out, which is the neu fox hears you think about, which is why it's called neu, or new as the thing it's noise power plots above the surface to day. listen, there's nothing to see of those demolished houses in, but the sellers are preserved under ground to join the excavations at $95.00 plots

. took 3 years during which time archeologist even found a gold treasure, the documentation center. it doesn't have signs or a big mess on send. the structure can only be accessed on guided visits, but don't let that scare you off. it's really worth it to note with. ah, i'm to hop on over to the other side of the pond to meet our globetrotters steve heinous. he's been visiting columbia caribbean coast off. we go to got back in. ah, just thought things up here in katerina. we take part in a free tour to get an overview of the old town and all the things he needs to see here in the city center. katarina was founded in 1533 by a spanish commander, and became the main port for tre,

between spain and its overseas empire. in 1984 catalina's port fortress and other monuments, including the walled old town, were designated a unesco world heritage site. another cool thing to do and cut off as to walk the old city wall, which is especially cool in the afternoon when you have the best light to take some awesome photographs and a salt away can see the contrast of the old city and the new spot and how to finish off and often walk on the old city wall at the coffee tomorrow, which is probably one of the best spots to watch the sunset. today we drove one hour up the coast from kathy anna to it to do more. this is a volcano filled with hot months and we're basically here to take it off in it as

little as 23 meters high and has a depth of 2300 meters. i mean, not the much, but who can on general with when i walk a sort of neighborhood where we're saying it's all gets em. i and it's a really cool area. it's the up and coming neighborhood right next to the old town . mm mm. mm. breakfast. yeah. and then we take the bus and i would take a motor, taxi and, and think on that on arrival, center and offer. and i were taking this model effective to sets up for our timing

caterina is actually a little fishing village, 3 hours south of caterina to get a taste of the local life and to be in a spot with way less tourists. and i think on them off totally as a spot for this. the prices for good food, straight from the source were low and the beach was simply perfect with nobody trying to sell you souvenirs. this was truly a place to enjoy and what have you done in columbia? right next to the historic stone bridge. you'll find the worst cook, the sausage kitchen, a true regensburg classic. in the 12th century, the building was used as a storage room for construction equipment. later it was turned into an eatery. and

since the beginning of the 19th century, it's where regensburg most famous brat, forest, or char, cold grilled sausages, are made yes, good. i've been told that your restaurant isn't to be missed. what's so special about it? rescue from focus on this as ones that are shown here are so suggest which we make plans. i saw a car tower which we also make ourselves with next alpha cout 6 on sour crowd is the name of this typical dish. simple but really good. and just right, if you're feeling package on your tor after being declared and unesco world heritage site in 2006. the regensburg experience of full blown tourism . boom numbers of visitors have stored ever since. and one of the main reasons for

that is the growing popularity of river cruises on the damn you. some of the locals, on the other hand, aren't too enthusiastic about their new found fame. in summer of 2006, the old town pagans book becomes the unesco world heritage site. fantastic. i've hope for this for a long time of preferred in they were you flooring celebrations in the city? you know we did it world heritage status is a rare distinction. but today i sat through it with almost cherry, we're happy then and we were proud of officers, but things have gotten out of hand. like i was our tips. we would know if we wanted to be a world heritage decide with the consequences. nobody really thought about the consequences of what we just wanted to get in the tourist brochures. the up is one of the and there was a big go back. man, what do i get to look at 1st? it was nice to see so many people come in, but now it's turned

a little don't like it just gone to for some reagan's book is the onslaught has become too much. the city continues to attract masses. ah, every year the tourism office announces new records for overnight stays, day traverse and cruise line is his passengers stole through the old town. if they came, they sometimes don't even remember what said you therein. by the evening, people on the number of giant river cruise ships has skyrocketed. the danube trip is especially popular among senior american and australian citizens, which is great for the city, but rather annoying to some locals with many are sick of the roaring diesel engines and the constant coming and going of

the water bill and hotels. didn't want that. it probably can't get much more than that. i can give you plenty, but do we have to reach that maximum point, considering what it costs? residents go for the one i have people living over there. don't like it either. it's like you go homeless. the person with the city recently limited the number of cruise ships to $1500.00 landings per year. but the boom since the unesco title has also brought other consequences. it's lead investors and new construction projects are shooting up everywhere. real estate prices have exploded and the gentrification of the old town is progressing. given by the plotted now they also want more guided tours and hotel even while residents hardly live there anymore. either they're still coming up. there are a few students who like to party, one of those are, but you can imagine a family or an old couple. there any more home or they're being forced out. unfortunately, on the been for the things is lathers or the number of tourists increased again.

last year, but now he can spoke, has put forward in new tourism plan, which tries to consider both visit his needs and the quality of life of those people who lived on the banks of the danube woods during peak season is lined with cruise ships. i meet with peter moss. bah, he had the organisation friends of riggins burges, old town. it's one of the oldest citizens initiatives in germany. and as the name implies, it's concerned with preserving the cities historical heritage. their most recent qu was to prevent the construction of a convention center in the old town to hide from the rain we see cover in a former royal villa which to day houses, the bavarian monument office and was by mister almost. well, you previously worked as a tourist guide and regensburg. what's your take on this tourism? boone? feeble who it is. i think it's very positive because i experienced the humble beginnings when they were $600.00 guided tours per year. oh yeah. now we have more

than 6000 guided tours before it makes me happy. every time i walk through the city and see people from all over the world, enjoying regensburg faustine. do you also understand more critical voices? those you say it's too much for regensburg. it can, i know these voices, but i dont quite understand them because as in many cities in tourism here moves along specific paths just as in prague where it goes from the old town square to the charles bridge to prague castle in a pickle here. it's just over the stone bridge to the cathedral, to the old town hall and with to the left and right of this. it's calm and i don't have to walk right through the crowd when it's busy. i can also choose a side street, tiny, so i can go civilian is and death will tell me a bit about the organization you lead and your work there. the con camila flushed it. yes, the artist of foreigners friends of the old town is a group that was founded in 1966, and that has no political mandate and no direct power. when he kisses my daughter, kenny mocked also it's committed to raising the alarm whenever the old town is threatened with any danger. dr. young, i think

something a beautiful kind to. so any physicians who owns is up and you're working hard to keep it that way. and then i'm, and what would you say to the 1st time visitor here in reagan 1st and whether they come by cruise ship or from somewhere else in germany? where would you send them? what's your top recommendation? things focus. hymns must flow to ones caffeine, financial and he and his dad, it would us under. so i would put it differently. hip ski, i wouldn't give any damp cedar. instead, i'd recommend just coming here staying a week and going where the wind takes you stops. will force, discover the city on foot to visible? it's not like there's any other way to get around town and just rift along and let the city work its magic off and then follow your interests. ye knocked him. are you looking for gothic architecture in the cathedral? he tore, are you after something romantic managers or do you just want to sit in elegant cafes or experience the beauty of the river or take about just let it happen for you? thanks for the talk. if i get it, ah,
