what 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 lout and drought, and 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 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 is something very exciting because this everyday life to be 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 cause it 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 cities and moons than bridge germany's pious 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 dome, 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 skywalk with a $360.00 degree panoramic view. it was not until 1930 that the individual industrial places along the flippa merchant 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 rain whole. that's true, right. is it always like that? is that it was all i, as of a battle always gets a lot of rain here the children are born with umbrellas and breath, a big song 1 may go missed different combos. though what, why did the textile industry choose to set up shop? here is that young visited the gun and their services due to the water of the lipper river. and the plato of the yarn he had, which was already practised here, back in the 16th century that the textile industry developed out of that. the

bleaching required the sun and rain and voted was the perfect place for that price . all song on playing duffers for my thought and for perfect. 150 years ago, votter grew into 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 there were 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. let's then the university came along and it's boomed for the last 20 years. it is a wound in an, as the fancier the old factories and their chimney's still shape the cityscape today. now and he is this, i and i, let's, this is one of the last remaining places where textiles were once produced. dana,

i bet they made ribbon when he bent down here the straps. lehman everything still as it was fun while back. 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 looms with steam driven. so it was an incredibly stressful place to work. as the ange tightened yet for our boy, ah, the splendor and misery of the industrial revolution was experienced by this

gentlemen, 1st hand and foot, but i've freely hang is textile entrepreneur, philosopher, revolutionary and leader of the labor movement. bob smith white, the 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 states industrial culture. waco, we're often i am it for let's take a look at angles house in this house and some 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 almonza, keep that one touching the system as i said, is new. stella, there are different visa, she suddenly wasn't the most progressive boston. there definitely weren't any time building exercises as we know them today as, as the 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 canvas. with 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, shot or utopia. city is right on the bypass. 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. 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 fast cost waiting room. it was the jewel at the entire station and will be once again like right now it's a construction site at the moment 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, have mental spaces for so long. excellent. the 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 factors about about neighbors in the next. i want to help me 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 f 1st and looks like a huge construction side. what's going on here yet, is that 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 closer down here 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 inductance width of absolutely going to be made of income, is a hollow here. so it's about bringing up as much space as possible by experimental

open development. why? of all the move, please? who experimentalist up in the gloom, sam huddled that went by and i saw something finished here. every of looking at being am, if it were up to me, it had never be truly finished because experimental oven development needs development is vicky baton. 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 stairs in val petard more than in any other german city. each one has its own name and some are designed by artists like the hosting stairs . if the people have up a thought when it leave the city and see some nature,

they can go to baggers 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 of looking toddlers, but also people from clone and dusseldorf, head to the hills and forests of the baggage his 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, right? it's tough to top. the burgers. 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 posts, as many man made lake in summer, they are 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 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 to get away. ah, oh, do i dare to go up there? ah, the moonstone 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 mouth i work with. 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 ex, of the securing system. once you reached the end, it was like

it was actually clear to me that this would happen. my fear of heights kicks in. ah, 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 phase 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 too afraid. anyway, i'm proud of myself and i think i need a break. yeah. i'll these to you. gloria. owned memory, hollywood with what that mean. but i think you performed a glorious featured, went above and beyond, and almost breached to tom elsco. pelvis. yeah, the old did all the 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 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,

to pretend before we cleared away the roadblock and the authorities, i would say pushing our way. but we wanna test k. they've never dealt with anything like this before. my crime can fall optimal, be 15 content give home if 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 in the opening and we'd fly to las vegas to celebrate. and then suddenly i noticed we'd sold to $7000.00 tickets a whole. 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 days we can guide 200 people across the branch . we have our hands full and we're really happy about people who will come to 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 coming here with biden, because it some extraordinary as awesome oral patient all slumped. uber audio here while it's unfulfilled, off a greenish us. so they look at the rivets, not view and know exactly what all feel, how it vibrate is when a train passes over and it's on the nearest i let you 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 . what? 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 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 3 as black blue by in the book also has a reservoir. i think it's perfect for an auto mall and freely relaxing here. even in the countryside, you can discover industrial history. you can book a tour on the form of viewport valley railway with hancock. ah, 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 filled 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, 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. yet this art is quite interesting to gain some insight and learn what industrial life was like a century ago. 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 tall, 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 to day. the thing is

a museum voice gang martha 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, felton harden me and 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 week. 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 to executor. i'm quite impressed. hungry with a time they take and how precisely they explain things. so it's very good regarding the food offer. what's now history still has an effect on the present. our name, irish to her doctor, physician worker's rights, social security, health insurance on all these things came out of in store. so i mean,

we unhooked bottle, can be browse 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 tour leaves you with plenty to think about. ah, i am in papa tal 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 and either a specialty of the region is waiting for me. i take a look at this the burg coffee table. waffle rice pudding. black bread, cold meat, raisin bread scrambled eggs, cheese, cherries whipped cream and liquor. oh okay. i need support. subpoena from coffee.

that keeps me company. did send the miller in order here going 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 like to lawful of set him up and 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 biography to offer a delicious coffee? of course, i've heard of it shown angelica a nice coffee from the to up to mina top amendment and unusual names. anomaly. we've done an oil. very german looks unusual. where does come from

the theater film of and so 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 towel, top, norma, and now that's why there's also a little dish underneath. found that on a next round at a coffee table like this, you sit with friends and family for hours. we can do it to a when you're not to recall that. is there an apron, i'd say sinful. it's very 50 develop it kind of it. i'm just getting into it. the appetite is coming fun. comes with the game you. that's true. well then with thanks, sabina ah,

i would say this is like a grand finale for my day in bought the city. it may still be an incentive, 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, with

ah ah ah only passing persecution and discrimination, no german, cynthia, roma community the nazis murdered hundreds of 1000. 0, the racism continued long in politics, the sizing and in the media and
