as bettina who sec explains as we move in this is not truly for a person from an, it's almost a blanket treat to take posts in the middle of the tower around the same with the goal is to get something here. and to come in $0.56 to a height of $100.00 and to meet us in the most recent competition, a woman from or did it in full minutes. 19 seconds. this is an amazing feeling. this is this wonderful old building. when you get up here, you have the most beautiful. i use. it's a great feeling. we get to the toner, the, the steeple of m. mean stuff. it's a well and rankled at exactly 161 meters and $53.00,

5:33 am
a qualified engineer, but for more than 10 years he has been the town of warden at minster. he says it's the best job in the world. yvonne relates to even to me that i live 300 meters from here as the crow flies one. and i can see um and stuff from my windows state though i just stand there. and a norm is powerful building the, the, the new phone on you come up from bavaria on the autobahn, no matter where you're coming from. this building stands in front of you, like a fortress. yeah. yeah, yeah. i love that about it. to cindy as it is, this could be a good one. that had been towel gardens at the main stuff for centuries. the balconies we used to look out for a finance or advancing um is to sound the alarm. the view from up here is marvelous. a decency oversight when i come up here in the morning when i'm the 1st person to look out over, my town is able to stop the window soluble,
5:34 am
my and i say my town deliberately took guns, but with the force as the formula, i see what's changing the what's growing less vague, what's being demolished about what's being rebuilt on top of it. and of course i have a sense of grand you are being so high um height. so over to say but there's also somebody at the foot of the tower who enjoys the morning just as much . the asked eva hod all is the joe. it's his job to ensure the smooth running of them in stock. and i always get up at half past 5 on sunday morning, so i'm here by half past 6. it's the best part of the day. the
5:35 am
he's always the 1st to arrive. for him, the judge is a spiritual, a waste is a place where he can reach out to his band trans the as roger and ced ava. how devona is something like the pastors right hand. he gets everything ready for the service. that's why he doesn't wear overalls about a suit in addition to practical things, such as unlocking the judge and switching on the lights, he also for pass the on to the 1st service of the day,
5:36 am
always takes place in the client's stalls to mind the whole scale down, i mean my job also includes taking care of the building is the minister teaches us a humility. it's rather than pride. i think this space definitely has that effect even on ignorant people wouldn't be say, leave the church differences from when they went in and of course can be seen by the guns and judge surfaces are being held in them in the fall around $600.00. yes . the image that says i can be single sign, is it convinced or probably doesn't care who works here monkey. so i'll have a stick. the main thing is to do it right? if, if i would never say it's my minister my you wouldn't hear that from me. this sort of sit for a minute, him a few meters above the client's tools and ced ava hod freedom on the ministers, musical director insist some playing the organ himself but the morning service even
5:37 am
when it's bitterly cold. as it does, this didn't hear the organise and sits here in a bit of a draft of the smart. it's very noticeable, it's down below we have pedal heating him, but we have to retrofit the new oregon with and for red heating for the fingers. lots of i felt basic i'm, we have to use clouds bags for instance, so that the draft doesn't turn the pages of the handles from the host. in this case i'm even in mid summer. it's nasa wall month and 15 degrees celsius in the 40 meter high organ long. today it's barely 10 degrees. the enormous name is still empty at 8 o'clock the quiet stones in front of the altar. i'll sufficient for the 1st sunday service. the
5:38 am
dean ends to bill him. gold loves in minster, less to be god who does not reject my prayer, his days as pasta here, a number. he has been elected regional bishop. the pain accounting is mixed with the joint. the shy funds, it's a wonderful space. in itself, so it'd be also preaches with the light, even if it's a bit of a cost. like today, it's
5:39 am
a great gift to be able to administer in a building like this on to the see the lord bless you and keep you, the lord making space to shine upon you and be gracious onto you. the lord lift up the light of his countenance upon you and give you paid the dean go shows us his favorite place and minister you should specify, i guess a few or just to keep on just that appeal to me depending on my mood. i mean, if i want to have some peace and quiet if i go to the bed to chapel and see with its many able stained glass windows, many centuries old i know is actually identifies that such an image of height. this view is good to be part of these traditional ones, that one has a lot of options depending on one's not at the moment. so you,
5:40 am
enough time to get into the village. i asked if i had all also has his favorites fonts and the men's to but to get that, you have to walk across the rafters above the nave. more than 40 meters above ground. it's the balance. now there's one special bell here of, of 500 years old. percenters that has been run by hand. once a year, when the cities man takes an of that all the residents of the town shall be treated equally. today is just a real hassle. the the
5:41 am
is a certain size name i know leaping staged. this is definitely one of my favorite duties. dumb it would take a lot for me to have to send a substitute. i'm sure it would be terrible for me if i was ill likely, and couldn't do it myself. can compare that one distance now and was one of the 10 most important german towns in the middle ages. this town on the down, you was a powerful trading hub and was immensely rich. the in the towns archives the most important documents from the city is ponte. the present historian. good one. let's take this into the volt. yeah, we see the original plan at the minster talent from the 15th century. the
5:42 am
. the drawing is on parchment, the judge and the caustic style with face for 20000 people at the time and had barely hop that many residents. but the banker's office city wanted a really imposing church and paid for it themselves. the this moment sticklers are shantia and well i know see uh the residence of a room wanted to read the couch goals. so they built one and on this parish church and the town only had one parish church and, and it had to be enormous in coal. and of course, a launch church also need to launch tower one boy that the people who own wanted it to symbolize the power and wells and to you. a lemon step was originally planned as a catholic church. and the intention was to place as done to the virgin mary on top of this fire. however,
5:43 am
this plan was abandoned when bloom became protestants in the 16th century, the best interest of them. so this, these are the least from 1530 in reporting. the votes of the male citizens of loans, of touring title to vote on whether we should conduct to the image and the co faithful. not just in color, 87 percent of the residents decided in favor of the new don't try enough and try to teach fluid and know your letter. and so the catholic minister became a protestant church. historian, governance tells us what this meant in practical times. until then, the rich families of the city had embellish them. instead, with works of art. as was the custom with catholic charges, there was at least one private don't want to at each miller. as many as 60 in the hole in charge of paintings and sculpture. every way the historian explains that rich patrons liked to see themselves depicted in these blocks. a wealthy match. and
5:44 am
couple kneeling at the feet of gold or at this altar which shows the family of jesus, the faces of those of the hoards match and family. want of that to go off to the right information, the vs store to safety meta high on top. but good to them, let's tells us that it was destroyed in the zeal of the reformation. however, there was no general destruction of religious in to tell the new speed of the people still think of the protestant reformation as icon the plastic. but here it took the form of what i would call an orderly removal of images. not the town council gave the don't as the opportunity to take home the works of all that had stood on the found the altars warranty and familiar to attend
5:45 am
started. however, the changes that the reformation didn't stop throwing out paintings and alters suddenly all forms of austin taishan. and the caustics on itself were found upon the good protestants of home, decided that 70 meters was told enough for a charge tower for me to involve uninstalled. so for who tools cost advice has been taken to step construction, work on the church to prevent and numerous costs and the embarrassment of ridiculous. so we see it was decided not to complete the tower if i typed up for the construction. the reasons were not mentally, financial dawson, gothic architecture was beginning to go down to the session one of the residents of blooming to chose to start construction rather than to continue being the subject of ridicule before it on vi tucker. spotted which women statement involve when you buy but today we see it standing there almost 162 meters high.
5:46 am
some 300 years off the building raised. that was a don't think were 5, all the old plans were taken out at the drawer and the tower was completed on 8 flying buttresses and on chairs while added neo golfing. and it's purest, all the, the historic building has also inspired storage cap to ensure tennis is an audiologist. and all that means that in spite huh. to write a series of children's books in which a bond is the main protagonist, the for the children of whom this congo is lily long. yeah, the back from own means that the now you can say that we must spot skivvies and then continue. this will be on the spot right with this being an obvious choice. every child here knows him gleese
5:47 am
that i've read too many stories about the sparrow. so i was looking for another creature i needed one that know certainly explaining the different on the ground. but it can also fly into the ad to take a look what works of the top that finds to me. almost every child in m those books because many children in elementary school, none about the minutes the from the archaeologist explains the treacherous features and its works of art in a way that appeals to children. persistent. that's good. what's the most? the devil has bite wings. just like me, she exclaims, kind of don't worry, he has the dragon wings and the dragon has always been a symbol of evil. but that used to be the case, but that these 2 they were so it'd be distant relatives that the devil, because spots only come out to night. that's up to you. but it's not only the people who know and lump them into the judge goals, tourists from around the world. some $1000000.00 people visit own minutes each year
5:48 am
. and some 150000 of them klein, the tyler the minister is prepared for emergencies in this narrow space. johan is soon as the head of the voluntary heights rescue service. sole good evening everyone. a warm welcome to the rescue service here at the main fire station. we'll set out straight away to the minister. today we'll be practicing a rescue through the belfry shackleton trustful. once a year they train for a rescue mission in the minster town. the women, we found it twice this afternoon. i do health about every 12 or 18 months. we have
5:49 am
to go up to rescue someone once publish. this doesn't always result in transport through the bell chamber. and i mean, if you walk up there with your eyes open and look at some of the tourist, you know, some things going to happen from time to time. it's particularly united to people don't realize what it involves climbing 143 meters or whether they can do it. can you see people with 2 bags from the market who then struggle up the tower in high heels or dressed too lightly or overdrive? i think i do see everything gets out of the rescue as all volunteers and they have to carry their equipment themselves the right time. so we're going to get whole a stay a ride at 70 meters, just in the interest in technology, the fun of working with others is and above all, getting close to objects and buildings to which most people don't have access to
5:50 am
a construction crane, a large mil television tower, bulk administer, other people don't have access and we do, we can practice here and we're also doing something worthwhile, since we're doing it for our fellow citizens. and it's altogether a good feeling of this to some people on file find to has a special bond with them and stuff he got married here and his son was baptized in the job the back to the high to rescue the 1st moment a, a patient his health suspended over the belfry shop. jessica glanced at is watching closely. feel the net and it says settings to meet the truck. and just the little fellow then the gap opened and we dropped down 70 meters.
5:51 am
the . this to this, the most critical point is the opening of the belfry shaft, and that's when the lid is removed off when you feel the draft from below, because the cool air then rushes up. and that's when you realize, wow, i'm really going to drop 70 meters accepting the window as simple as google the same. and when you let me know a good time before you come through the next talk. yeah, yes, we still have a meter and everything's okay. send me the meters more than 10 minutes to the next talk. so since at least look through it. we're through the whole
5:52 am
long. so i'm up slow down through long summer, low down with you. because here comes the chandelier, comes 10 meters to the next to the not quite deep lowering. yeah, yes, i'm happy, everything's fine. with the rescue operations also carried out in the construction science office. in this case, the patient is the minister itself. there are plenty of custom made span pumps in
5:53 am
the young, one of the men's, the rescue as is any other class. he's a stonemason with a passion. he has been working on them and stuff for some 35 years the out of his bulk of sandstone. he's coughing a piece to repair parts of the tower. reduced us as such as you know, how bad it is. i have to woods very meticulously, deformities foreman to all by doing so. right. and i have to pass on the patterns and the process to the following generation to escape death. so that is as little falsification as possible, which they kind of know designs are the ones that aren't on, on the replicas as precise as possible means that is a permanent construction site. in the 1980s christ sold a charge briefly without scaffolding. but that was
5:54 am
a long time ago. histone mason shows us the simple method using cost of bandages. so the cracks in the town has been laid out. if the crack continues to open the plaster, where we've mocked the crack, well, break apart tonight. so maybe even off of that will fall off, and then we can see that this movement, that's how you keep a check on until by heidi fulman is construction manager in charge of maintenance and restoration of or minster. the job is to conserve the monumental structure. she describes this responsibility as about the burden and an on this is vicky. it's like receiving a peer edge. i can't describe it any other way. it was a totally attractive job, but so i just meant type them and i just had to apply for it. i got off of um, it's good that it all worked out. it's something special you currently the main concern is the tower. the construction manager is particularly worried about the
5:55 am
effect. so climate change a. we haven't the 3 hurricane to see 3 new row one and 3 down the horses. a really heavy rain rate, unlike with other launch buildings for minster, has to cope with that of. and when you look at these don't formations, how washed out, they are essentially the heights where we walk, how they are each and way. it's an enormous challenge for us and see how eroded they all by absolution. which is not actually the main problem enough to move by the rain that the lashes them when there's a storm. just recognizing what parts of the structure and no longer intact. if that's a big responsibility she found in the section that had to replace the 30 tons of stone, that's no simple matter in the case of a golf in the building. but each down, it's important for the statics of the home. swapping stones has to be calculated unplanned, precisely, but despite all the challenges everyone here enjoyed the work is simply really cute
