ah, an exclusive discovery that the change the world w i. she's got any issues with all say will crazy and will be with with

but but south central station today i am in burt 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 cities, 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 no about the city, and to be honest, neither do i. so let's just discover book a thought together. ah, the city has something very special a suspension railway it has been the number one means of transport here. 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, but for this everyday 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 focusing on because 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 a disused train station and loans than bridge. germany's pious railway bridge, and the only one that you can climb on to the out. the hustler is the city guides 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 in here. one floor up you'll find the sky walk with a $360.00 degrees 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 o button is rain whole. that's true, right? is it always like that? it is as it was all, i has a rubber tile, always gets a lot of rain here. the children are born with umbrellas and rubber boots, so i'm 1 may go missed different combos. though, why did the textile industry choose to set up shop here to visit young, visited the gun and their services due to the water of the lipper river. and the plato of the yawn he had, which was already practiced here, back in the 16th century link. the text on industry developed count that the

bleaching required the sun and rain and flippity was the perfect place for that size. oh, long playing toughness will my thought am for perfect. 150 years ago, the appetite grew 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 and i have as them will have as for some time in hearts, 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. ted is wound in and as the fans in the old factories and their chimney's still shape the cityscape today. yeah, here's this, i and i, let's, this is one of the last remaining places where textiles were once produced. stan,

i bet they made ribbon when he bent down here the straps. lehman everything still as it was fun with bath. 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, as if the workers had just gone home. all the machines stopped thus far and as far lau, it was ram out loud and how deep the lose was steam driven. so it was an incredibly stressful place to work. as the ange tightened yet for our white ah, the splendor and misery of the industrial revolution was experienced by this

gentleman, 1st hand and foot. but i've freely thing it's textile entrepreneur, philosopher, revolutionary and leader of the labor movement. obviously to weiss, the text here in germany and chinese instead of english, for instance, if that's a sign of sankoh. therefore, franco fatina, this statue is a gift from the people's republic of china. a thing has an worth of a blanco's is of great importance to the chinese duties. communist ideas, the com hope government. yes, they come here in big groups to visit angle statues and take home a bit of this states industrial culture waco swa often ave made for. let's take a look at angles house in this house and found that i'll come on. lucas. okay. my, the grandfather's house were in it's, grew up, is now a museum. 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. i was a boss and entrepreneur himself and had many workers. how did he actually treat them, bonded on those keep that went out. he fished them, as i said, is new stella that 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. whether this elisha 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 darwin, 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 football taught here they built their

villas. ah ah. so the bottle is really is city full of contrast for new york has got the highlight and booklets us has got the north on a former railway line across the city. me at 22 kilometers. the not on tulsa was the longest in a city train route. the people here for 3 years to turn it into a bike path. now, the route is there 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 urban gardening. people meet here and discuss what good life at the city of the future could look like. the. center piece is the new train station, open workshops and event rooms are being built here. it's another big construction site and he hasn't been here in the 1st class waiting room. it was the jewel of the entire station and will be once again, like right now it's the construction site. woman is boston. what i'm telling me is here. he knows what we are stuck behind, utopia city. the desire to create possible space, physical ones like this room, but also idealized space of mental spaces for a long exclamation of listen. who came up with all that? that's going to alter that. this is the will to question is going who comes up with

such an idea of lots of people from the creative and technical sectors of all the neighbors. in the next, i want to help the city starts over stars. we continue outside. there's 40000 square meters of playground, for ideas financed with loans, grants, and donations. it's from citizens for citizens of f. i 1st that looked like a huge construction site. what's going on here? yes, it was. now, it's a bay construction site. you max. some are a big student, competition will take place. this is a free week out. 18 buildings made by teams of students from 11 countries will santia form after they're gone and the ground has been leveled again. the containers will probably come back right now. we are holding a competition seeking ideas for the development of this whole than, than victim 5th of absolutely wrong can be made of it. victim is a hollow here. i will, it's about freeing up as much space as possible for experimental urban development

. why? of all the movies who experimented of stuff in the gloom, sam hung off that when i saw something finished here looking at b. m. if it were up to me, it had never be truly finished because experimental oven development needs development as v: kil, patel 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 are over $500.00 stairs info thought more than in any other german city. each one has its own name as some are designed by artist like the hosting fairs. if the people of volva, when it leave the city and see some nature,

they can go to baggage his lunch or burke county. it lies at the gates of the city, and it's just half an hour away. or on weekends, not just to look are toddlers, but also people from cologne and dusseldorf, head to the hills and forests of the baggage his 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, 4, mounting, 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? lincoln bridge spans the papa river near zoning him. 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 belts, walkie talkies, who do you copy? yeah. and security check leads. good, else, perfect. done. the stuff i mouth i work with. here we go with 15 minutes a sent through the forest. we're not even at the bridge. and my heart's already beaten faster. mm. oh, yes. once you hook on right up here we're, i'm standing, you'll only exit the securing system once you reach the on it aside

with 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 groove 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 emotional sit here every step as a fight on mine. ah, and the others are already on their way back at me.

i'm done with the idea is with i all was made it, but then i was just too afraid. anyway, i'm proud of myself, and i think i need to bring this to you. gloria owns memoria. what's that mean? performed a glorious feat, went above and beyond, and almost reached the top of the old drink to that. and the 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 or kicked up the link longer than expected. and in our night we thought maybe one or 2 years i'm fly out. to in fact have to pretend before we'd cleared

away the roadblock and the authorities. i wouldn't say put in our way. but we weren't attached. they'd never dealt with anything like this before. like i'm kind of fall off the mud can be between content gives you have been very surprised how many people have contacted us and said they want to climate number. we promised ourselves that if we should old a 1000 ticket on between the press conference in the opening from flight last day to celebrate. and that will suddenly noticed we'd sold to 7000 tickets. hope like 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 me. so there's lots of work ahead. the 5 on good days we can guide 200 people across the branch. we have our hands full and we're really happy about. the 2 point of the program will come into your guess mostly come from germany or also from abroad on the phone 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 line only had the chance to scale a railway bridge. yet folks from all over europe are coming here with biden's, because it's some extraordinary as also occupational slumped you bought earlier here, but it's unfulfilled off a greenish as so they look at the rivets not view and know exactly what all feel, how it vibrates when a train passes over at a little. it's on the nurse, i'll actually climb a little bridge. only here. oh, goodness, 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. miss 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 towns 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 in freely relaxing gear. even in the countryside, you can discover industrial history. you can book a tour on the form of viewport valley re away with a hand car. ah, this section of the track was laid in the upper valley in 1880 to service the textile industry, to day hand cars run along the line, past former cloth factories dating back from fried rich ingles day field. the tours highlight is the old vo thing textile making complex. perfect for thought is,

of course, both and complex is germany's largest remaining industrial ensemble from that period. we reached the former factory town visits of heaven, diverse and sir 4 of us are touring around enjoying the landscape blossoms. yes. now let's see what they'll tell us about wolfing and angles angered. yes, so it's quite interesting to gain some insight and learn what industrial life was like a century ago. 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. in flipper towel, a person in a working class household had just 2 to 3 square meters of space. here doors they had 12 loans on that via the nation were injured voice. it wasn't just a humane gesture lloyd. they had to do something to draw city folk out here to the middle of nowhere near today. voting is

a museum. wolfgang masa 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, sure. her in the and we had 60 weaving machine 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 we. we were in 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, executor. i'm quite impressed. hungry with a time they take and how precisely they explain things. seattle, it's very good regarding the food offer. what's now history still has an effect on the present. our name, irish to. ers. what's your position? workers' rights since your social security, health insurance on all these things came out of outsourcing. we invoke motto can

be proust, the whole angle is one of our own law. and anne's home, so denying and or from, from angles day right through to the present. this to are leaves you with plenty to think about. ah, i'm in the hotel again in the hot facilities. this is one of the oldest city parks in germany. also an example of citizenship created by citizens for citizens in cathy elisa, a specialty of the region is waiting for me. ah, take a look at this. the burg coffee table? waffle rice pudding. black bread cold leaves raisin bread scrambled eggs. geez, cherries whipped cream and liquor. oh okay. i need support. subpoena from coffee.

these it keeps me company. did send the you know or an order here. what do i have to start with a waffle or, or maybe i can say end of all half the raisin bread, the cheese or is it a rule that you have to start with the wrong? there's no set order, but i really liked the law philosophy. mothers on we can start with them if you like, the damage you're stopping. okay. so then let's get to the waffle for mr. good . i mean to, so that the waffles lights down smoothly. you definitely have to drink something. what's that? when a burgersson to offer a delicious coffee, of course her. oh, here it is shown, angelica a nice coffee from the top to mina top amendment, an unusual name. anomaly doesn't boy 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, the web page not been all pop, norma gotten out. that's why there's also a little dish underneath the spam a next round at a coffee table like this. you sit with friends and family for hours. we can do it to. i want to record that. is there a name from i'd say sinful, that very 50 deluka. what kind of issues i'm just getting into it. the appetite is coming fun comes with the game. yeah. that's true. but well then i think sabina ah,

i would say this is like a grand finale for my day and bought. the city may still be an insider tip, but it shouldn't stay that way. so if you want to get away from the usual tourist room, you should consider a trip to hope. i thought, by the next time. ah, ah, ah ah, ah ah, ah, with

ah! with volumes of explosive. dynamite takes us to the doors dazzles us. makes room for the new saves lives. an explosive discovery that the change the
