From time to shape the image of this region with us travel reports about brandenburg the vast land its lakes castles and people i know from tana from my german lessons back in school but very theoretically and today not quite as theoretically i am following in his footsteps. Of course we show you the truest highlights in grant park. And that you can also dine here like the people did at the time a fun time. Hour of your video this week shows us the sights of belfast in Northern Ireland. One time there as a traffic light youll only find that in the it will be fun thomas birthplace after a fire in 1787 the center of the city was read. In the classicist style with white streets and huge squares im meeting up with each and she heads the fontana festival here and has become an expert on the writers life and. Here we are really at the beginning of the history of theodore from thomas involvement with noir. His parents moved here at easter in 1900 and on december 30th Theodore Fontana was born up there on the 1st floor of this house. First fontana tried his hand as a pharmacist in berlin then he became a journalist a correspondent in london a theatre critic and travel writer it was only when he was nearly 60 that he began writing his great novels. And. Im. Sick of nice building. That was the Old Secondary School among the many people who attended it were our Theodore Fontana as well as the architect karl things wishing that actually of the stuff was it clear in his school days that he would be a writer. He himself wrote that he wasnt a very good student. How to become a writer if things didnt go well in school at least in the short i think a lot of it came from his father not necessarily the ability to write but to develop a story. I thought to pick up anecdotes and turn them into new thing is that as i can walk from town im like that about his father was something of a playboy. He felt that entendre didnt really need to go to school but could learn things from the books and stories of other people. Great father. Bless you my hidey holes said fun talking about his frequent absences from school and later in life as a travel writer he often returned to normal people. At the preachers widows home whats the link to fontana. What else had one thomas mother and his sister lived here for some time during that time from tanakh often came to know of pain to write about his rambles through brandenburg and then. On to other that he often got his sister and liza to do research for him to consult people to go into churches and look through the registry books looking for people or to go to religious and describe even sketch them. All those things flowed into from time his book reading of the of the 2 of them had a really great relationship. To this hayden is. In his rambles through brandenburg fun tunnel also wrote critically of his birth place saying it was a bit lavish for such a small town but he did say it was beautiful it is situated on the lake. And. Then out in front of his childhood here in mobile being shaped him. Really stink much sean does full time i think that the wide open spaces here on the lake and forest landscapes gave him a certain sense of home with his crew here and make it happen thats about an hour to us was up and that was the trigger for him to start writing not about other regions but the one he came from. And which he came to love so much that later in life he wrote 5 books about it. And. Before i keep following my fun time route there are a few tips for you what else does brant burke have to offer especially now in the summer many tourists come here to the most watery state in germany. Brandenburg has around 3000 lakes more than any other state in germany and the Water Quality measured at the lake shore beaches is generally excellent the southern waters clean its great swimming here sun sand what else. And then there are 33000 kilometers of flowing waters probably navigators can traverse them to their Hearts Content a popular pastime is renting a house boat the taller family comes from dresden this is the 1st time travelling from the bruce waterways. Is about his unique back home in saxony we also have small lakes but this rambling on the water spending a week hopping from lake to lake i dont think you can get that anywhere else. In the burbs abundance of water makes it a popular vacation spot since 1902 the annual number of overnight stays has nearly tripled from 4. 6 to 13500000. You get the common obvious it is mainly come from berlin brandenburg saxony north rhinewestphalia and yes you can say that 90 percent of the overnight stays are from germany in lund but last year we had around a 1000000 foreign guests some of your. Friends would guess that. One of the Top Destinations is the State Capitol pottstown with its reconstructed city palace seat of the state parliament. As it looks amazing super super and im a big fan of the rock and old saying i love coming to see it. Not so much theyre going to. See is perhaps part sams most famous palace but approaching kings built many business and ones here. The city was a royal residence in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nowadays pots them is ok shes surrounded by lakes close to berlin has attracted many wealthy residents by legacy lake is lined with the jews homes. In the past few years the brandenburg capital has become one of the most desirable and expensive cities in germany. Its 180000 residents include many young people plus the most free universities and more than 30 research institutes. But some as i get some its really a small big city that i like that thats being come much has probably why so many people come or move here especially berliners because they appreciate that although were smaller we have everything. In local pin you can also meet the citys most famous son in the museum. Catalina schneider is one of the curators of an exhibition marking funtime is 200th birthday of. The aunt in. This room has something really special. Yeah there arent very many remaining objects from fun which is why the no the museum is very proud to have this clock. Its the fun ton of families grandfather clock. Its really old it dates from 790 and the family owned it until 941 kind of that its nice to imagine that it not only stood in front on a study but that he wrote to the rhythm of this clock and you can kind of hear that. With him but he so im hearing more from tom heard the you are hearing what went on heard. And there is also an installation about one thomas most famous novel if you policed. Its a lot of material can you explain what its all about. I think its very simple this is the network of characters in the novel if you greased. Weve put the main figures from the novel in this room. Here this is effie thats her husband in. Here is the man whos to do says her major compass and weve linked the characters with the pink text ribbon thats why all these words on the floor thats why think those are the main knowns in every city we have them counted from 84 or evening to have fun z. For it which means tenderness hiatt or and what do you think the words are different sizes. From the bigger they are the more often they appear to now thats right wasnt in there look at the pink words what do you see there. Theyre very long. Exactly thats the 1st thing you notice say that there are the normal words and then there are these very long pink words that they are the fun tun a sound so to speak these are front on his own creations long compound now yes. When he couldnt find a word to describe a situation or a feeling then he created one himself. So you get a creation such as coziness ranking neuralgic comedy or as root error one pouring stunt one step are any of them still used to be. Do you have a favorite word created by fontana. Before what has prejudiced foolishnesses one and winter acquaintance we asked ourselves for a long time what a winter acquaintance might be and weve ended up with 5 different definitions. Of which is the most convincing. Either making the acquaintance of winter lots of people picked that like seeing snow for the 1st time or the winter acquaintances someone who always keeps a distance was aloof or an affair at christmas with an affair or an affair at christmas time thats popular too or that or its someone you do wintertime things with like sledding or ice skating. Or winter time friends who you dont want to see in the summertime winter acquaintance. But lets move on the departure moment this year. From tanya was an attentive observer as a traveler and thats why we also find him in his work about what he ate on his travels well and thats an inspiration for chefs today to rediscover fontana who are merrily. Baker curled my plants in shanta on the hafele river got his inspiration from a poem by taylor a fun time. On a summer morning to take up field Walking Stick all your cast will follow away from you like morning haze that was the origin of the Walking Stick they gave me the idea of making blood gets in the fog of Walking Sticks. The bakery is one of 13 businesses that have taken up front on his color terry legacy restaurateur henry engle is one of the initiators if you that the people who come here on the trail of fun time know will also want to read something. As opposed to that was just a fun idea we want to develop new piece i dont want to just cook the same menu for 3 or 4 years and this. Its a nice challenge it gave us a chance to come up with something new bostons most lawyers. In his restaurant here can hope ngo offers a 3 course meal based on the real art of wild boar its certainly in tune with fun town as well known motto craft fortunes are not for me. The artist casino and also has fountain on the menu the main courses feature freshwater fish trout and pike no surprise to fun town of fans after all the writers last completed novel was named after lakes fish lean. And potatoes here lightly tossed in butter have been a staple since frederick the great introduce them. The fish is served on the very root festivals this is truly regional cuisine. For fun time to describes in this walk through brandenburg is my region my hometown and if you want to experience fun town not only the literal way but a corner of one when you look at the recipes that has been murdered for the record show a lot of fun turn around town and all the cakes he likes you see that he was a bit of a glutton its quite cute the way he was always nibbling on things im going to. So force the font on a menu includes dessert its called Bread Pudding a spice cake made according to fun time his grandmothers recipe answer it was pear poached in red wine. One time his sister published their grandmothers recipes as a book in 1903 the meal ends with the dishes to get a 4th course the chestnut look youre. Brown without fear but weve learnt a lot about ted often town and his life not only about what he ate but what he drank and we found that he always liked the schnapps or the cure after a meal even after his coffee. So its nice that we can serve the. I was aware 4th course of the fun turned a menu to ground it all off. An ideal of a Village Church simple inviting nicely situated front on a road that about the church. Here he began in 1059 with his rambling through brandenburg no village was too small for him no way to farm. This house was built later but its already over 100 years old now it houses a fairy with an exhibition of childrens paintings of course their topic was from tonga. It is impressive that fontana was also curious about the most in conspicuous places. As a journalist from time to was also traveling to other countries in europe for example to england or to scotland and were also traveling right now but is going to Northern Ireland to visit chrissie during away an hour meet a local thought chrissie is going to show us hometown belfast. Hi everyone im christiane of the great pleasure of. Today. I love the player the city the hustle and bustle the mix of old and new a magnet for artists and musicians and its rich and diverse history. So 1st of all i want to introduce this in the Cathedral Quarter so its not just the oldest part about its also one of the 9th parts about us its a beautiful cobblestone on the some of the most amazing bars here. Just going to the duke of york its one of the oldest popes in belfast its back to the hundreds of lots of old bars in belfast but this is definitely one of my favorites of. The old. Murders so its a real iconic bar and the site of a really good start. So the population of roughly 400000. 00 but considering the size of the study we have a really impressive civic beautiful city hall which at the same time is also the home of our lord mayor. And. Was. Great so next stop is our people telling museum so its a symbol of our heritage but its also a memorial for the many lies that were lost at sea and the reason the titanic was. At the turn of the 20th century was the largest and Fastest Growing Industrial City and the british empire. On the time that we had a sort of a hotel on board of a ship. And. Now this is more like i would have traveled left and 112. 00 3rd class cabin so a lot of the irish emigrants would have only had money to afford a small bed like this. Youll always be reminded of our. Beside me as one of the last remaining peace signs peace signs that we once had all across Northern Ireland used to separates the protestant from the catholic community. Its really the remnants of the symbol of what used to be as you can see weve a lot. Of those organized projects for both the communities where that comes. Gather in just parts of the place and its a project. So you can see people signed all and leave their messages well wishes not just for Northern Ireland but also for peace all around the war. You can come to belfast without experiencing one of our many traditional music. So what a great way to end our day and i hope you have much fun as i did until next time slot on. The next stop on my journey through brandenburg in the footsteps of tom that is. The view of the pelosi made a deep impression on the writer he wrote before us we have a picture of unusual beauty the smooth surface of the water line by a wreath of reeds and finally the palace itself in the distance. A gift from his father frederick the great rebuilt the palace and the rococo style and extended. The showpiece is the hall of mirrors. With what was this room for thats for here for this was frederick the great ceremonial and concert hall he wanted to enter a big festivities and he wanted to give a concert see you fredricka. A passionate flute planned he wanted to play here but any managed to do so once because the room was finished so late. But in that tradition we put on small concerts here and there mainly Chamber Music concerts with the fortepiano for example small concerts with space for up to 100 people on the line with one oppose one who cuts them. Right back palace is considered the model for a song to see colors which frederick later built in potsdam in where he resided expression king. Looks gorgeous yes it was fredrickson private study when he lived here in rhine spankers crown prince with as one of the 1st rooms he moved into f 2 days later he wrote his 1st letter to voltaire than ever given what have passed by the way from time to did not have as much luck curing his visit to inspect as i did the old fellows warden was taking a long nap only on the 2nd attempt did he open the door for fun toddy chime for our weekly v mail as you know we like to show videos that you have made on your travels and this week we join you get sotillo from madrid on a tour with a chance iberia railway i really would like to do that too from moscow to all on bottle. The last stop on my trip through the brandenburg described by total from tom that leads me to the north of the state to lake city. It is the deepest lake in brandenburg almost 70 meters and its one of the cleanest as well. Brandenburg is the most watery state in germany so i just have to go swimming. In the government. Its a. Good. Deal of fun thomas last novel was inspired by the lake and its oppressive and natural landscape. Was.
