3 cities are relatively small with less than $100000.00 inhabitants but nevertheless the world history was written in didn't bear. the rich and beautiful are drawn to boston boston and weimar has a large cultural heritage. the works of good to and still 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 lima 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 meaning illuminating a good. gauge or remodeled the home and had furnished rooms like a. for instance he put in this staircase built in the italian style. i wonder if the steps already squeaked like this encourages day 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 were to remind him of his time in italy as well as hadda. and sheila beloved companions who died 30 years before him. the courage of family lived in the real part of the house. this room is referred to as christiane is room in honor of christiane of his wife 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. regulation. also here on the markets where is the most famous hotel in town the elephant which has been welcoming prominent guests for 300 years . and it's definitely worth having a look inside. as one of the most beautiful rooms. hotel p.r. manager canteen dealing regularly 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 standard practice and. this isn't that hard to me it is unusual. this on collection was put together in the 1990 s. . or. is something of a pillow on which the hotel stones. was not a music architect to design and literature they're all things closely associated with the city of i'm a. celebrity is 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 had to start so i think it's a mix. but the hotel elephant is definitely famous for its long history and tradition as well as for as 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 michelle gorbachev. joe cocker chris rhea. robin give of the bee gees'. filmmaker live in bend. writer. 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. first model home and house i'm on which introduced a new approach to housing. as a 2900 new building museum and commemoration of the centennial. you can download and. 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. 174 pieces that were to stay involved when the move to death and 925. many of these objects became famous the world over like this lamp. and felt. all of the modern classics. the last stop on my visit to the a.c.c. . gallery a.c.c. stands for autonomy as cultural center its director frank luntz 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 sorry 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. rights to the. concert. it was clearly a very democratic project so obvious it seems every detail with disgust as a group. just over the. 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. what amounted to 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 it 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 consider. what us would you say the a.c.c. is a viable classic in that salute lee the a.c.c. is definitely a weimar classic with a lot more doesn't exactly live for contemporary art and culture rather it looks more to the past. so we're a good color agent and that's what we have been for the last 30 years and we want to continue to be one. what makes a classic 30 years like the a.c.c. 100 years like bauhaus are and the like the only true aspirants to the title. and the end of the day and doesn't really matter one thing as 1st shore here and via you'll get to experience german history more vividly than in almost any other city in the country. and. 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 old bob on luxury wellness and high culture that's 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 larry across the grandee shall we both welcome to the thank you. italian city guide valley i got me mate bug or new home 1000 years ago and now she knows every inch of the town. i wouldn't think where are we. now where on linked in talent. 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. among the few you might see the rich and the beautiful stroll along here precisely along with people just like us who love life. 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 aisle and sight what this what does bob have to offer younger people. we have out 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 pool 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 buy. the rumors designed. alltel which opens here in 2016 is very popular with young people but it's not cheap. a secular cars all lined up in front. of the lobby is shoes 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 bottom has to offer for the millennial generation. the students of our own quite a bit in recent years and i think rumors has a completely new spark concept to offer especially for young people. so you're going to be 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 go on so sometimes. you want to come somewhere over quiets and have children of that sort. 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 viewed 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 those houses in the classical style spa palace it's really posh it's almost 200 years old numbers among 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 her camp blackjack slot machines and will let the games begin at 2 pm no cameras allowed so i've arranged a private chat with ruby a young pad. since i've 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 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 would be $1.00 to $1.00. to base my lucky day so i'm going to place a rough a bet on red ok ok good luck you made the game begin well i win. your bets of my big win write ups and 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 to do so well and. in germany gambling is lawful so it's strictly regulated. and this 16 read. 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 relief after the expense of. luxury wellness culture and nature 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 in. the name of you 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 i still do. my 1st stop is the market square which has always been the heart and soul of the town. just a few minutes away is the most important site in the history of the reformation church also known as the castle church. for and surrounded by crowds of tourists from all over the globe this is the door martin luther is said to have nailed his 95 the . 31st 1517 today it's hard to say whether that is really what happened but one thing is for sure they didn't change the course of history. i want to know why. do you not go out of his. christian langen is the director of the old latin school the study and visitor center. back is to protestants what rome is to catholics and that's all because of these famous theses. 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 which was language before everything was hauled in latin and people can understand the common person don't know how to read or write and they couldn't hear what the pastor or the priest bishop 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 was to have it in the language of the people through that and through social media of the day so printings woodcarving songs that people remember focused on. them in 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 . next stop is a former monastery where luther lived the prince in leicester had given it to the reformer because he needed so much space for his extensive work. the magnificent takes pride of place. there was always only a lot going on at least there is no. you have to picture this as a sort of commune luther lived here with his wife and his 6 children but it's also where you lectured 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 close as possible to the man himself. one of. 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 woman and song remains a fool his whole life long. this archway leads to a place that martin luther must've known too well the estates of lucas the elder a man who greets lee contributed to the spreading of luther's ideas. carnac was a smart businessman pharmacist publican the mayor but above all painter a man of talent and influence. oh oh under as medscape gets visitors here every day his historical printing shop features portraits of all the reformations big players including us. and martin luther. has his own theory about why the 2 reformers came to cooperate let's hop on the time machine it's 1517 and luther's the z's have been nailed to the door of the church but what happened next. but he did lump 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 luther species. when dust on their own one man stood up. the elder all about he said friends i'm not just a painter i also have a pretty press give me the text and some money. well and that's how in 1517 lucas connaught became the reformations 1st printer here's a small copy of the 95 theses all we do is try to realize the popularity of luther's ideas and he told luther that he would print whatever he wrote a month. the comments later put out a collection of luther's writings and a series of pamphlets such as on the freedom of a christian man right. and that's how luther's ideas spread throughout the german speaking world i think. people kept asking who is this martin luther what does he look like that gave chrono the idea to paint look 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 a visit to 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 thank you for watching and see you next time but. i go to robotics. declining marched realises wait a 2nd for you want the whole picture out facts instead of
