works of good to and cilla a great german classics but 200 years ago they were considered extremely progressive so how has managed time and again to attract pioneers and trailblazers contributing to the mix of new and old classics that kenton davy found all around town. by tour of begins at good his former residence in the very heart of the city the author and naturalist lived here for 15 years the house was a gift to him from his patron grand duke called al ghost an illuminating of. gauger remodel the home and had furnished to his liking. for instance he put in this staircase built in the italian style. i wonder if the steps already squeaked like this and go today it's possible he wrote that it's a staircase one never tires of going up and down. in the front part of the house you find elegantly furnished rooms this is where goods are welcomed his guests are just scholars politicians and members of the royal family. sculptures richer remind him of his time in italy as well as hadda.

the couple lived together for 18 years before marrying something the citizens of weimar found scandalous when they finally did get hitched their son was already 16 years old. good to study was simple and uncluttered he wanted nothing to distract him from thinking and writing. and it was here in his bedroom that good to died at the age of 82. it's almost impossible to get lost and all you have to do is follow the enticing smell of grilled sausages and you'll end up at the market square. reptilicus. also here on the markets where is the most famous hotel in town the elephant which has been welcoming prominent guests for 300 years . it is definitely worth having a look inside. as one of the most beautiful rooms. hotel to be our manager cast in dealing breaker lee organizes concerts and readings here on the walls paintings and drawings from the hotel's own collection. and hotel with its own art collection is that something that you need or is a standard practice and. this isn't that hard to michelle it is unusual. this on collection was put together in the 1990 s. . or. something of a pillow on which the hotel stones. was not a music architect to design and literature there are all those things closely associated with the city of. the liberties have always felt at home here at the elephant how many guests are drawn to the hotel's history and how many people go room just because it's a beautiful place right in the center of town and sureness will tell us what. you think of the wagner head start's i think it's a mix. but the hotel elephant is definitely famous for its long history and tradition as well as for its many prominent guests who continue to come and stay with us. and many of your prominent guests have signed a guest book i've heard you have a few of them around here somewhere mind if we take a peek. athletes actors politicians they all stayed at the elephant gorbachev. joe cocker chris rhea. robin give of the bee gees'. filmmaker of in bend. writer tomas mun. and fashion designer involved they've all signed the guestbook. some even have works included in the collection. another classic is the bauhaus school founded in 1919 today it's a university back then it was a school of architecture crafts and fine arts its director architect. invited famous artists of the city. and. the balance architects built their 1st model home environment house. which introduced a new approach to housing. as a 29 building museum and commemoration of the centennial. you can download an app to your phone that will guide you through the museum. this is famous cradle. blue squares and triangles yellow the design is still produced today and can be yours for 1800 and. the museum centerpiece is the. 175 pieces that were to stay in volume when the house moved to death and 925. many of these objects became famous the world over like this lamp. and felt. by money on the blunt. cantilever chairs all of the modern classics. the last stop on my visit to via is the a.c.c. gallery a.c.c. stands for autonomy as cultural center its director found months found at the center with friends in 1987 when weimar was still part of communist east germany they squatted in an abandoned building and saved it from decay old newspaper articles document the story state of the building when they found it and the amount of work they invested in fixing it up a camera team also caught it on film. with the. rest of. the council this is what it was clearly a very democratic project it seems every detail was discussed as a group. just over. today the a.c.c. is a gallery with an international scholarship scheme in the past 30 years the a.c.c. has hosted nearly 250 exhibitions with over a 1000 participating artists. pretty much it's a setting up the a.c.c. was a dream of yours what are your goals for the future what's still to come. if you were up to me things can stay just as they are this is our own building we want to stay here and breathe new life into weimar's classical mindset with our contemporary dalliances and artistry and. naivety so what us would you say the a.c.c. is a weimar classic in that salute lee the a.c.c. is definitely a by mark classic with a lot more doesn't exactly live for contemporary art and culture rather it looks more to the past and so we're a good color age and that's what we have been for the last 30 years and we want to continue to be one lie. what makes a classic 30 years like the a.c.c. under ears like bauhaus are good and the like the only true aspirants to the title and the end of the day it doesn't really matter one thing as 1st shore here and you'll get to experience german history more vividly than an almost any other city in the country. and in. splendor and luxury make. for rich people from all over the world i will mix with the tourists and take a look at the new but also at the bottom body luxury wellness and high culture is that something interesting for young people well i'm going to find out. i'll start off my tour with the classic areas right around town. good morning good morning to larry across the grandee shall we both welcome to the baton thank you. italian city guide valley area cause i could not be made for new home 1000 years ago and now she knows every inch of the town. i wouldn't be where are we. now where i lived in town. this was the place to be in the 19th century when barton barton was so well known and cosmopolitan. and it's still a hot spot now strolling avenue arts and culture spot. comes on with you might say the rich and the beautiful stroll along here precisely along with people just like us who love life in boston. you see and be seen to see and to be seen to this day hotspots lots of international guests it's really a place for relaxation on one hand but also for excitement on the other side. of the un and i think what this what does bob have to offer younger people. we heard about in clubs the club bernstein in the casino for example where international d.j.'s spin discs on the weekend and we have our new concept for a bar and restaurant casual fine dining room is rooftop bar and pool. bar on the side there's something for the hipsters to buy if it all sounds a bit exclusive you need cash don't you. know what i'd say it is exclusive but there's something here for every budget point about. the rumors designed. hotel which opens here in 2016 it's very popular with young people but it's not cheap. a secular cars all lined up in front of the lobby it's huge jars are stuffed with free candy. and sparkling wine comes with the room. the rooftop bar offers a panoramic view of the town. it's popular with the younger crowd so i'd like them to tell me what they think bob button has to offer for the millennial generation. students of our own quite a bit in the recent years and i think rumors has a completely new spark concept to offer especially for young people. so you're going to lie to. you i mean here once before and taken in the natural surroundings the basket rocks the costal and so on it's really good for fitness and the view office some great photo opportunities. i like to go with a view of the people are very kind and. some time. you want to come somewhere for quiet it's hard to hear that sort of relic sation nature and luxury never seem to age but let's see what else the area has to offer my next stop is the casino to view it in the morning you don't have to observe the dress code but to gamble you have to be at least 21 years old show an id and wear a dress shirt and sport jacket. you can see this house in the classical style spa palace it's really posh it's almost 200 years old numbers among the europe's best known casinos and that's one of the richest traditions. inside as well the casino is a feast for the ice what fabulous architecture. the splendid halls are modeled on ancient roman buildings. but enough sightseeing now i want to gamble. there spoke are. blackjack slot machines and will let the games begin at 2 pm no cameras allowed so i for arranged a private chat with group. since i have never gambled in a casino before he explains the rules 1st. this will be. 37 numbers from 0 up to 36 on the wheel head and here on the layouts where you place your bets on the outside has better odds always covering 18 numbers one to 18 or 19 to 36 a red and black or even an aunt or blocks of numbers here the payout will be $1.00 to $1.00. which is my groups for 2 days my lucky day so i'm going to place a proper bet on red ok ok good luck made the game begin well i win. yeah that's a big win right absolutely. and i have to ask i felt really really happy just now that must be pretty addictive right i'm sure gambling addiction is a really big problem. in a tradition but of course it's a very very big issue for us. here at the casino and other 2 companies look at casino and constance casino. we have a social concept. yes makes statements to the effect that they're gambling money away they can't afford to lose we tried to urge them to play more moderately and if that doesn't work and sometimes the last resort is the band that gets to protect them from themselves it's. in germany gambling is lawful so to strictly regulated. is a 16 red. will the sun doesn't shine every day mr cosby. if you travel to bob bob it's worth taking a little time to explore the countryside the town lies at the edge of the northern black forest. there are great places to go hiking and enjoy some wonderful scenery. and it's all free of charge something of a relief after the expensive. luxury wellness culture nature of bob bob offers all of that so it's just the perfect place for a relaxed the cation most offers are aimed at an all audience i would say but if you're young money is not a problem for you if you just want to be pampered then you are in good hands here. today maybe you have been back in at least as beautiful as it was 500 years ago when martin luther used to live here back then people came from and far in jest to hear. because of his place in history. my 1st stop is the market square which has always been the heart and soul of the town. it's. just a few minutes away it's the most important in the history of the reformation church also known as the castle church. it's around it by crowds of tourists from all over the globe this is the door martin luther is 900. 5017 today it's hard to say whether that is really what happened but one thing is for sure they did change the course of history. i want to know why. do you know. that impressed me christian langen is the director of the latin school study and visitor center. back as to protestants what roman catholics and that's all because of these famous. but at the end of the day all of that was just words many people couldn't read but how did he manage to get a revolution going and change all of christianity. you touched on another really important part of the reformation. before everything was held and. people can understand the common person don't know how to read or write and they couldn't hear what the pastor the priest was preaching actually and so martin luther had a big focus on the language and he really unified the german language translated the bible from the latin version to german a big push in the language of the people through that and through social media of the day so printing is word. songs that people remember a focus on catechism and learning that's really how it spread and to focus on in the home not just in the church but the leaders of each household really teach and it's you know it's parents' responsibility it's not just the priest or the pastors responsibility. my next stop is a former monastery where luther lived the prince elector had given it to the reformer because he needed so much space for a sick sense of work. the magnificent lectern takes pride of place. there was always a lot going on at least there is no. you have to picture this as a sort of kong you luther lived here with us weiss and his 6 children but it's also where you lecture and students from all over europe that's what he did in this auditorium and those who could afford it even spend the night and luther's everybody wanted to be as close as possible to the man himself. one of the highlights of the house is the originally preserved parlor this is where luther hosted his famous dinners with plenty of food followed by philosophical debates his guests took notes which is why many of his quotes have survived like this one he loves not wine women and song remains a fool his whole life long. this archway leads to a place that martin luther must've known all too well be a state of luke last kind of the elder a man who greets lee contributed to the spreading of luther's ideas. comic was a smart businessman pharmacist publican but above all danger a man of. talents and influence. oh oh oh under as medscape gets visitors here every day his historical printing shop features portraits of all the reformations big players including kama and martin luther. as has his own theory about why the 2 reformers came to cooperate let's hop on the time machine it's 1517 and luther species have been nailed to the door of the church but what happened next but he did love all the other species lasted about a day and a half on the door because of the bad weather there was a debate in the town hall about how to make it easier for people to read motor species. well just on their own one man stood up. the elder about he said friends i'm not just a painter i also have a pretty press give me the text and some money. and that's how in $1517.00 lucas connaught became the reformations 1st printer here's a small copy of the $95.00 theses all realize the popularity of luther's ideas and he told luther that he would print whatever he wrote a month. later put out a collection of luther's writings and a series of pamphlets such as on the freedom of a christian man. and that's how looters ideas spread throughout the german speaking world. and people kept asking who is this martin luther what does he look like that gave us the idea to paint like this portrait to mention but he said i am an artist . so in a sense mediæval multimedia expert can also functioned as the reformations p.r. manager. the last visitors of the day arrive at all saints church time to take stock of my trip. if you're interested at all in martin luther and the exciting times of reformation you should definitely plan to visit back it's full of locations that bear testimony to the religious revolution and you can even lay your head down and some of the places where history once took its course and that is exactly what i am going to do now i have a room at that kind of hole
