is much more on our website. that's d w dot com ah ah, ah, ah, 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. for baton was dirty lout and drought, and 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 relief 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 this everyday life taking over that 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 grossey looks like a small castle art revolt when it comes to architecture, but my thought 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 highest railway bridge. and the only one that you can climb on today. ah, the 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 in 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. abernathy shall be out. i

heard that for battle is a rain whole. that's true, right? is it always like that? it is, as it was all i, as of a battle always gets a lot of rain. here the children are born with umbrellas and rubber boots, so 1 may go missed different combos. though what, why did the textile industry choose to set up shop here? fish that young visited the gun and there's services due to the water of the lipper river. and the plates 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 perfect place for that size. oh, long playing duffers what my thought i am for perfect. 150 years ago val potter grew to one of the largest industrial sites in europe in the 1970s automation and competition from low wage country's lead to the decline of the textile industry.

scott, it's i have as they will have as for some time in hot 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. then the university came along and it's boomed for the last 20 years. it is a wound in an, as the fans in the old factories and their chimney's still shape the cityscape. today. down here is this, i'm there, let's. this is one of the last remaining places where textiles were once produced. dana, i bet they made ribbon when he been down here, the stabs 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 of a machine stopped thus far and as far loud, it was cram out loud and ha jeeps to the looms with steam driven. so it was an incredibly stressful place to work, grassy and widened. yet for our boy, ah, the splendour and misery of the industrial revolution was experienced by this gentlemen. first hand in for better feeling is textile, entrepreneur, philosopher, revolutionary and leader of the labor movement. obviously to waste a text here in germany, chinese instead of english. for instance, if you're, if, if that's a financing call that folks local fatina, this statue as the gift from the people's republic of china. a thing as an author

blanco's is of great importance to the chinese duties. communist ideas, combo jeremy. yeah. they come here in big groups to visit angle statues and take home a bit of this states industrial culture, waco, swa o n i v me. let's take a look at angles house in this house and saw that i'll come on. lucas, you came by the grandfather's house where 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 text ho 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? responded almonza skip that, went out in the system, as i said, is new stella? there are different views. her, she suddenly wasn't the most progressive boston kind that definitely weren't any

time building exercises as we know them today as, as a hellish matter. but what he did and his enterprises without a doubt and that was to abolish child labor, which was still common at the time thus far in gambling game with food. 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 ah so good bottle is really city full of contrast for new york has got the highlight and book with 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 root is, there's me, will told me i shot or utopia. city is right on the bike path. it is a citizen project, something like a test laboratory for urban change. you can red containers here and try out ideas from coffee roasting to urban gardening. people meet here and discuss what a good life at the city of the future could look like. the center piece is the 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 waiting room. it was the jewel at the entire station and will be once again, like right now it's the construction site. the moment is boston, what i'm telling me is here. he knows what they're stuck behind. utopia city. the desire to create possible space, physical ones like this room, but also idealized space, have mental spaces for so long, excellent reflection. 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 sectors. i bought, i bought neighbors in the next. i want to help me shape the city stotts. overstuffed. we continue outside. there is 40000 square meters of playground, for ideas financed with loans, grants, and donations. it's from citizens for citizens of f. by 1st, it looked like

a huge construction site. what's going on here yet? isn't both. now it's a bay construction site. next summer, a big student competition will take place. it is a free week out. 18 buildings made by teams of students from 11 countries will stand here one after that gone and the ground has been leveled again. the containers will probably come back. right now. we're holding a competition seeking ideas for the development of this whole and, and in thinking 5th of absolutely wrong can be made of it in victim. he's a hollow. he asked, i will, it's about bringing up as much space as possible. my experimental, urban development. i have all the move please through experimentalist up in the gloom. som of that when i can i see something finished here very looking at being am if it were up to me it had never be truly finished because experimental oven development needs development. be kil patel. is a 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 football thought more than in any other german city. each one has its own name. as some are designed by artist, like the hedge, downstairs if the people of up a thought when it leave the city and see some nature, they can go to baggage is 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 the viewport toddlers, but also people from cologne and dusseldorf, head to the hills and forests of the bag ashes land. this region of north rhine 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 tough. the bag of sugar 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 ashes land isn't named for its hilly terrain. the name comes from the counts of bag who ruled this county for centuries,

many castles and palaces here date from this period. now they provide the perfect destination for relaxing weekend getaways. 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 belts, walkie talkies, who do you copy? yeah. and security check leads. good, else, perfect. done the stuff i month i will go here. we go with 15

minutes to send 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 is like 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 animation to sit here 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 too afraid. anyway, i'm proud of myself, and i think i need to break off these to you. gloria owns memoria hollywood.

but what's that mean? which are so you performed a glorious feature, went above and beyond and almost breached to tom elsco del vantage. yeah, the old don't think i'll 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 architect up the link is longer than expected. and 930 we thought maybe one or 2 years, i thought in fact, or 10 before we cleared away the road, blah. the oh sorry it is. i wouldn't say put in our way, but we weren't test case. they'd never dealt with anything like this before. mike, i'm kind fall optimal, be 15 content, give me. you have been very, very surprised. how many people have contacted awesome set they want to climate? we promised ourselves that if we sold a 1000 ticket on between the press conference in the opening and it would fly to

las vegas to celebrate. and then suddenly i noticed we've sold 7000 tickets over the call. we had to open up many more times on that i, people 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 a good day. so we can guide 200 people across the bridge and we have our hands full and we're really happy about the tool and follow up with your guest. mostly come from germany or also from broad outlet from from also give you my most of them come from germany g to the travel restrictions. but we do have foreign visitors, especially railroad enthusiasm on now that they finally have the chance because the scale a railway bridge. yet folks from all over europe coming here, wicked bacon because it's extraordinary and patient love you. but i'll, you're here as opposed to think of english, so they look at the river, it's not the view and know exactly how it vibrations, when a train passes over it with there's like a climb of a bridge only here. dawson,

it's one of a kind in germany and here are 2 globally. it's comparable to sydney's hob braids for those for whom sidney is too far away, says winston bridge. i'm good stuff 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 berg try it. white's green and black blue by and look also has a reservoir. i think it's perfect for an autumn walk, freely relaxing here. even in the

countryside, you can discover industrial history. you can book a tour on the former veto valley railway with a hand car. this section of the track was laid in the hooper 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 to field. the tours highlight is the old voting textile, making complex, roofing production of growth 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 lessons. yes, now let's see what they'll tell us about wolfing and angles angered. yet this art is quite interesting to gain some insight and learn what industrial life was like a century ago unfold. oh not you're welcome. so the thing was something special

back then. it housed not just textile factories and workers apartments, but also shops, daycares, and sports facilities. in vip or towel, a person in a working class household had just 2 to 3 square meters of space. here doors, they had 12 loans on best buy as a nation were injured. boy, it wasn't just a humane gesture lloyd. they had to do something to draw city folk out here to the middle of nowhere. this today. voting is a museum. voice gang masonic 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, shoshua felton harden in it. we had 60 weaving machine that one waiver would operate 18 machines. each of these power looms ran 10 times as fast as the single line run by just one way. you buy another sheila, 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 to zang at her. i'm quite impressed to congress with a time they take and how precisely they explain things. so it's very good. the good, the food offer. what's now history still has an effect on the present. our name, irish to, oh, what's her position workers' rights and your social security health insurance on all these things came out of in store. so i mean we unhook the towel, can be proust the whole angle is one of our own law. and on to him, 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 kathy louisa, a specialty of the region is waiting for me. i take a look at this. the burke coffee table waffle. some rice pudding. black bread, cold meat, raisin bread scrambled eggs. jeez, cherries whipped cream and liquor. oh okay. i need support. subpoena from coffee. these it keeps me company to send the you know, an order here. what do i have to start with a waffle or, or maybe i can say whom does 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 like to law philosophy. my problem, 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 burger from to offer a delicious coffee? of course, i've heard of it. sharon angelica a nice coffee from the top, the mina top amendment and unusual names. anomaly doesn't oil. very german looks unusual. where does it come from? yeah, the center of and how it looks unusual because it originally comes from the netherlands form. so it's called cuppa by a cuz it drips out a little bit. as you can see here, double paid to not have been called popped. norma gotten out. that's why there's also a little dish underneath the spam, another one, 0, next round at a coffee table like this, you sit with friends and family for hours. we can do it too. i mean, you're not to recall that. is there

a name on it might say sinful it's very fatiguing. delicious. i like it 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 in 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 see you next time. ah ah ah

ah ah ah ah ah with ah ah, if you imagine to read 60 years of sex, drugs and rock and roll b rob a breaking all the time in

the rolling stones. the most successful bands of all time would be are you $21.00 or on a net trick chick? cool. the new tree. ching dr. chang, the delivery industry and talent has a full take. the mostly autonomous vehicles are operated remotely. as don't use capital. city is paving the way to move sustainable deliveries in city bread. in 60 minutes on d. w. o. level on to get a money. i'm a lot. i didn't give it away. it

is somebody is currently more people than a worldwide in such a better life. but a case of in project a lot of money. that's what i believe with a lender method. there was a little i find out about bailey story. info, migraines, reliable news for migrant. wherever they may be. ah, sat drugs and rock and roll have made the rolling stones iconic in 2022. they celebrated their 60th anniversary bands of all generations flocked to their anniversary concerts. so what's their secret? how come they're still relevant? when you.
